JOHN DEERE High Horse Power 2wd Tractors 1965-1999 

The one that impressed me the most was the 4840. OMG, someone still owns a cultivator and knows how to use it😳. So many chemically cultivate today, it was so nice to see an actual cultivator in use. I did notice that 5020 was a row crop version too. Nice videos.

Talk about some dependable, hard working machines, hard to imagine today's automobiles working hard at 25+ years old

That 4760 towards the end was a beauty.

Love that 8100 chopping corn. I have a lot of fond memories of fall harvest and filling silo!

Daum that 4760 has had some serious buffing done to it, always puts a smile on me when seeing stuff taken care of

Now these were made back when they were built to last a lifetime. 👍🚜

Seeing the farmer in the 6030, so excited to be on camera, put a smile on my face! Thanks for another great video!

I was raised on a dairy farm, I really enjoyed and appreciate what you're doing I'm a big tractor lover myself and enjoy the videos. Thanks a lot it brings back memories. We had 9600 ford and 4040 JD. Loved chopping corn and bailing hay. I'm from Bristol tn. I miss it so much, thank you!!

Massey had some awesome 2WD Tractors back In day...

Just a natural born fine "content" provider,, best on RU-vid, much appreciated ❤️

Nothing like turning and dropping plow on one of these when you are 14 years old .!

8100 is a Great Looking tractor 🚜. Thank you for posting this video. C

2wd tractors are a thing of beauty.

Loved all of them . Nothing runs like a Deere. Awesome from equipment. 😀👍

It's kind of an evolution thing. In the 60's there were no 4x4 tractors and now I don't think you can buy a new tractor without it. Same with cabs. A weather front was like a luxury option then but can you get a big tractor with no cab today? Same thing with pickups. We never had a 4x4 in the 60's but we got by. Now everyone has 4x4 pickups. Times are changing no they've changed!! Now I need to rest. I'm feeling a little queasy after seeing so much green stuff on a Sunday morning 😛

I run a JD 8300 2wd on a 3x3 square baler/accumulator every summer....its my favorite one to drive it turns sharp, good power and great visibility out the front.

It was interesting to watch the front tires getting wider with each successive tractor.

So much classic, vintage green iron! I love it. You pretty well captured the high points here. There are lots of these things around our way still -- 5020s, 4555s, 4955s, even an 8100 just like this one (but factory exhaust) just down the road. Cousin's husband has a 4560. The 4760 here is just exceptionally beautiful. Great video as usual.

Love these tractors,4440 my favorite

That’s one happy good ole boy on that JD 6030 😂

I enjoyed them all, but I particularly like Tim's 8100. There is just something neat about that model tractor in a 2wd configuration.

The 4840 was the one I use to drool over as a kid growing up on a farm in South Africa. My father had 16 John Deere tractors, most in the the 70 to 90 hp range. From 2120, 2130 and 3130. Very good tractors, we worked them hard, very hot and dusty climate to!

i love john deere

1:57 Don't see too many of the early 6030's with the 10 and 20 series style decals.

The 6030 own it B.T.P.,the operator was happy to see you too. 🚜🤠👍

Would you consider doing a segment showing and explaining about different types of tractors and their applications. Wheatland, row crop, high crop, orchard, vineyard etc. I would find that very interesting. And maybe even some specialty machines for one use only. Potato harvesters, wheat combines, cotton pickers, walnut harvesters, tile plows etc.

Wauw that 4760 is fenomenal, I have never seen these types as 2wd in the Netherlands. It is typical American , stunning.

I love the older John Deere tractors!! My dad owned a few when we had our dairy farm!!

All the tractors were neat to see doing a different task ! A 4960 or 8410 would be neat to see too !

Enjoyed it. We had a John Deere 6030 on our farm and I thought that had to be the limit of 2WD power. Then I saw the 500 hp. Honey Bee. It was built by the Honey Bros in Frontier Saskatchewan. They pulled an 80' Friggstad chisel plow with it. It was never for sale; only used on their own farm and recently is shown at fairs. It has a Cummins V12 and a 13 speed trans. Two very big wheels off an earth mover do all the pulling. Dualled of course. You might consider following up on that and doing a video. I think they built 2 of them and still use them on their farm.

Super video of the big two wheel drives, thanks very much

There was nothing like farming without a cab....I grew up driving 4020 and 4320 .....finally we moved up to 4430 , 4640 , and 7520 all with cabs.

Loved the 4760 the 8100 sounds awesome 😎 great video keep up the great work 👍👍

I forgot to add that we also had a john deere 4000 low profile with a power shift transmission and also a massey 1155. I didn't know it at the time but i was told that the john deere 4000 low profile with the power shift transmission was a rare tractor. It came off of a pecan orchard and it had big low profile fenders and under slung exhaust. The exhaust was ran under the tractor out the back from the factory so it wouldn't get knocked off by the tree branches on the pecan orchard. It was factory ordered that way. I was told that it was actually rare and was worth a little money. Especially with the power shift option instead of the synchro transmission. I never even thought about it all those years grown up runnen that tractor on the farm. But after i read about it being rare i got to thinken about it realized that i've never seen another one.

That first tractor was nice. I lived on a free stall operation for a few years when young and got to just drive not operate a 5020 and it was a thrill.

Looking forward to retirement someday and getting back into my childhood farms days with Green and yellow iron!

Can't go wrong with a 6030. Built like a tank and that 531 motor will run forever.

Thanks for all the work you do & you do it very well. High quality video, audio, detailed intro and outro...with a well planned narrative...you could make a very good living doing nothing but voice overs, very pleasing cadence & sound.

Loved the 8100 and the 6030... thanks for your great and informative videos!!

I like this. The 8100 is my favorite. Smooth n dedicated. As always nice video.

3:35 you don’t see too much row crop cultivating anymore

Great video thank you! The 4760 is my favorite

That 8100 was the best. I loved that rig. Especially with the D on head on the chopper

Great video. The farmer in the 6030 is a really happy person👍

Thats really my taste!! We run serveral 2wd tractors. I believe we do the old fashion style we use for tillage a 4wd tractor and for everything else standard 2wd row crops

I love your videos. I grew up on a 4010,4430,4840, and a massey 1150. I run a deere 8370 now a lot for a farmer. But i sure do miss being on the farm with my dad and brother and the older equipment.

This one is a good one - - - thanks

The JD 5020 was just an upgraded 4020 on “Steroids”. The 4020 & 5020 were so rugged and well made. They could be neglected in Preventive Maintenance and if the Battery was able to start them up you could roll out and do your chores. Actually these were some of JD best mid to high power tractors. So well made. Just like there old Grandpa JD “D” as so many are still chugging along.... I’m very angry that Our Presidential Administrations from the late 1970’s have let Our Farmers and the Farm Equipment Manufacturer’s down. My salute to you ole Boys still trying with both your Boots on the pedals! Thank You BTP for showing!😑

8100 is my favorite tractor in video.

just goes to show that farmers farmed all those years without hi-tech taking over, the real days of farming. todays society has lost an art i grew up on case 2wd tractors actually having to steer and we got it done every year in the same timely manner

That 8100 at the last is really classic looking as well as the 5020 and 6030.

Another fantastic video it was great seeing all those John Deere is working in the fields Still

Really appreciate this, sometimes I'm a bit jealous of your job filming all this...

My Grandpa had a 4020 with a narrow front end and a loader. He used to clean out the cattle yard and plant and cultivate row crops. I used to ride on the fender and every pass through a waterway was a new adventure in will it or won't it tip over. Sounds crazy now but back then we didn't know any better.

Loved the 6030 and the 8100 great video as always

4955 is a beast

It still amazing to me that until the 80's, there were few FWD tractors, most farming was done with just 2wd.

Best looking tractors!

Love seeming these tractors

That 6030 is a beast!

All the tractor were cool. Like the older moldes

I would have to say my favorite in this video would have to be the 5020. I spent a lot of time on one as a teenager. It had a cab with an AC unit that didn't work. Hated it in the middle of summer as it was like sitting in an oven with the heat that poured through the hydraulic levers in the dash. It was nice on the frosty morning after a couple rounds of working it. Did a lot of cultivating with a 3 point cultivator(24 foot I think it was), that was fun as it was a little heavy for the tractor and it would do wheelies when coming out of drainage ditches since you had to lift for them but it would land smooth on the big balloon tires it had on the front. Scared me the first time it happened.

What a great group of Deeres. I would say that the 4760 was my favorite in this video. Rare tractor in my experience. Thanks as always!

My favorite tractor was the 5020

Excellent video some mighty tractors there

That 5020 makes me wanna get dirty! I love all of them and wish I was out busting ground with all these fellas. Great video and thanks for all you do.

I’m a fan of the two wheel drives. I reckon they look better. Another great video.

Fun to see. Thank you. - Dean from Minnesota

I like them all their John Deere. Back in the late 60's a neighbour bought a new 5020. That was the talk of the coffee shop. The older farmers shook their heads and woundered why the hell would anybody need a tractor that big.

I always liked the duals on 2wd. Used to have a mf 1135 with duals.

I liked the 8100, never see any 2WD 8000 series in my area.

I love the look of 2wheel drive

That 4760 looks and sounds like a beast

Awesome video. If you ever came across a Minneapolis Moline G 1000 vista model I bet you would really like it they have a really unique sound and they were a strong tractor of their day

Love these videos

Hi very good video I did enjoy every second thank you 🙏 👍👋

5020 and 6030. Nice.

Great video,here in the netherlands we never had the big two wheel drive. It was all front wheel assistant. Whe can not drive on the roads here with such big tractors with double wheels because they are to big. I love the 4760 it is very nice.

Nice !. 👍

John Deere & BTP video = big👍

Great video would love to see some international harvesters in the same type of video if at all possible ?

I like the front fenders on that 4760

Hermosa la máquinas es muy bueno él video

I was able to be early enough to catch the premiere

That was awesome!! My favorite was the 4760 tractor. But I could watch chopping corn for days and days.

Awesome video thanks

My grandpa refused to buy anything 4 wheel drive. Including his pickup truck. "I don't need to spend that kind of money to do the same job"

Great vid 👍🏻

Lot of people say the 6030 was way underrated as far as horsepower. I have read the were more in the 250hp range and could be turned up to almost 300hp...

Great video!!!

I would like to see this 8100 using a John Deere 4720 chopper, that should be amazing :)

Very nice

That 8100 looks almost funny with out douls

Adam işi biliyor çok güzel

John Deere is good tractors. ....

Ill bett that 8100 pulls like no tomaro great looking tractor i like the look of 4×2

We used to have a 4755 I bring that one up because I loved that thing to death. The interior was sorta falling apart on the left side of the cab. Ac was ice heat was a sauna and I only got stuck one time with a 750 grain cart loading out a bin was on ice pointing up a hill tired weren’t at 100% air on the cart and fully loaded so you can’t argue with that. Was our heavy duty tractor till 2011 8 dollar corn got us our current 7200R mfwd haven’t got that stuck but I get false confidence and almost get it stuck quite a bit

4840 with a little turn of the screw is a great tractor.

Nice video 👍👍keep up the good work love btp

The big tires were awesome. I mean the front ones. no little do=nut for those tractors.
