Plowing with the John Deere 4230 4K 

Among my favorite childhood memories is that of my grandfather teaching me to plow with his Ford 8N and a two bottom plow. I’d give anything to go back in time and do that again.

I grew up driving a 4230, it was my cultivator tractor in the summer when I was a kid. My dad had it and two 4430s. That 4230 was a fun little tractor to drive.

I'm amazed how dry it looks. Yes, those calming times of pulling a 3-4 bottom plow. It's a calming drive around‼️😅💞

You have that plow set up perfectly. Great combination of tractor and plow.

Nice video. My grandfather had a 4230 and he pulled a 5/16 International plow with it. A 4230 isn’t really enough tractor for a 5-bottom plow in tough conditions.

Usually a massey ferguson fan but i love the way this tractor sounds! So smooth

Awesome tractor. I drove 4230 in the late 70s but didn't have cab just a top.

Looks like you had it set really good. It was doing a great job.

Thank you for your hard work small farms are fading fast

We pulled a 4 bottom JD plow for decades with our 4230. In cornstalk ground, we could plow at 7 mph! Keep the 4 bottom and plow faster!

Last plow i pulled was a 10 bottom behind and 8630 with the 50 kit. Good times!

There supper nice tractors

Spectacular!!. Congratulations!!💪👏👍💚💛🇺🇸

In our ground 5 16’s will push a 4840 sideways in the heavy ground.

real decent looking job of plowing

Nice job your doing. I don't think you need more bottoms

Looks like a great team.

I grew up on a dairy farm in eastern Wis....I thought that looked like our soil from the melting glaciers.

Sandy loam? where are you located? beautiful soil!

Doing a fine job

Aa bump up to a bigger plow, pulled three bottoms behind a 50 hp, should've started in the middle, be easier to level the field when you disc it, and when yo start in the middle and disc it you can double disc and get a better cover up of the crop material

Not a farmer here. Is there another implement that is used to bust up all the sod? Level it out?

What year is the 4230? My dad bought one new in 1979 or 1980. I can't remember

Sweet

I’ll just watch

We traded a real stong 4020 for a 4230. It wouldn’t pull the 5/16 plow. We traded for a 4 /16 and it would pull it fine. The quad range just robbed too much power

Why do you want to through the dirt so far

To large,,,beter slim end little surface rumpker back,,2 in 1,,,easy for worck mashine,,beter for soil end mutxpch easyer to preoeare for seeding plus the fuel lesx consumption in easy worck plus linger plate on clutch,,,4x 20 or 4x25

Buy a no-till planter instead.
