TRACTORS Plowing in Iowa 

4020 diesel, 1968 model !! One of the best tractors that Deere made !! Dad and I drove it home from the dealership pulling the f-145 semi-mounted plow that went with it !! I was only 12 !! Tractor is still in the family !!

My Dad was a mechanic for John Deere in the 1950's before he went to farming in Eastern Washington State in 1959. I remember as a kid when he brought home a brand new 830D and plowed our pasture up with it. Over the years he owned an "A" a 40, a 60 a 620 a 730 a 4020 and a 4520. Lot's of good memories in this video.

Something about that orange makes my heart pump a little faster!

Thumbs up for the audio, all tractor no music!

I love seeing the AC's at work. We still run several on our operation (a couple 8000 series and some 70 and 60 series as well). Great tractors.

The 830 john Deere the 2 cylinder king its awesome. I grew up on a 720 john Deere diesel and 4 bottom plow.

Some of the best dirt in the world. Dark silt loam. No stones.

Love watching Allis-Chalmers tractors. Takes me back to my childhood

Loved seeing the One Ninety and the D17. My dad used to own a 190. My grandpa had a D10

Love the Orange Tractors.I would love to take a 220 Allis Chalmers to plow days

...takes me back to my childhood....😢.....miss the "golden" years of farming....

I like the allis D17 series ll as I just got one myself not long ago.

Loved those allis chalmers.

I like that 190 Allis Chalmers, and the JI Case 400 . We had a John Deere 4000 tractor years ago with the 8 speed power shift transmission, I called it an 8 speed jerkomatic transmission. My favorite tractor to plow with is my old farmall 200 with the 2 point fast hitch plow . Another good one was my brother-in-laws john Deere 7210 and his Allis Chalmers 5 bottom plow.

In this video, my favorite tractor is the John Deere 5010. I first read about it back in 1962 when I was a 10 year old kid. When the article said that the tractor had 121 horsepower, I was really fascinated. Needless to say, but 121 horsepower back in 1962 was certainly the big boss. As always, thanks for showing.

Our farm had a D14, D17, D19, and a 190 XT. One of our neighbors had a D21. The XT was boosted by turbo to 140 hp. It was bought with a 6-bottom plow, and then another bottom was added, which was now a 7-bottom plow. When you lifted the plow out of the ground, the beam swayed. The Ford 8600 also had a 7-bottom plow. The XT tended to run hot, a mechanic from Rockport looked at it and called a blockman from Franklin IN. The upper trim pieces on each side of the hood were taken off which fixed the problem. The later XT's were designed without the trim pieces. The same mechanic was on a D19 with narrow front end. He was driving in Rockport full throttle and started hitting rough places in the road, which started the tractor bouncing, the bouncing worsen and flipped the tractor backwards killing him instantly. We always had wide front ends for this reason. Thank you for the trip down memory lane with the video.

These old-timers are really worthy!

I grew up in Iowa. I love the black dirt.

Awsome to see these old tractors working, Good old poppin johnnys

I used to operate a Deere 840 Constrution tractor pulling a disc on the fill, that sound is amazing, especially when it was getting pulled down a bit.

great video as always!! and you know l love the ACs two very sharp190xts and the good ole 17 AC we had our d17d at Rantoul this year great time!!!! so l will be watchin!!!!!! oh yea that 4230 narrow front was sharp too!!!!

My dad was a corn farmer in South Africa and he loved his Massey Ferguson's. But neighbors around us had any tractor imaginable and all these American tractors were very popular. There were a few rare tractors (for us) around. One neighbour had a Minneapolis Moline. My father's brother had a Lanz Bulldog, which was of course from Germany. I always loved the "Green Ones".

That was awesome! I love watching plow days. Those Allis Chalmers tractors were my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

That old 190 Allis with the cab is beautiful, great video really enjoyed it

The Classic landhandlers Great to see the Allis Chalmers my Friend Paul's Grandfather owned a 75hp Allis Chalmers landhandler with a loader 2wd. My neighbor Mike From Douro Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 owns a John Deere 4010 open station 2wd he runs his Vermeer 604 J and heavy equipment on it he repairs farm equipment for a living. Wow 15k for a John Deere 4230 row crop tractor today that might buy the tires and rims. I like the Case 400 beautiful tractor. My Father Carl should take his 1948 8N Ford with a 2 furrow plow it's fully restored my neighbor Mike did the engine work 3 yrs ago runs good it rakes hay and if my dad's grandkids come over he gives them a tour of the Maple 🍁 syrup woods

It was no contest picking a favorite for me since I just finished restoring the 1963 D-17 that I grew up with. I actually like them all though, even the green ones lol!

Loved that D17 plowing. Reminded me of when I was younger… My Dad taught me how to plow with a D 17 and 3 bottom plow. Love all the older tractors no matter what brand they are.

Even though I am a Massey Ferguson man just love to hear those johnny poppers

I've always had a fondness for the narrow front tractors so seeing the 4230 narrow was priceless. You really caught some real gems out there that day. Thank you.

NE Iowa is beautiful. I've lived in Iowa for 18 years and always enjoy the rolling hills of the Dyersville area. Those boys were really turning that soil over!

I never visited Iowa until my son was stationed there(and married a girl from there) and we met some really good people that live in Iowa.

Hard to pick a favourite, they're all awesome classics.

Like that 4320 narrow front. What a cool stance with a more modern body styling compared to the old style narrow fronts that I normally would think of.

i have 3 3020's, 2 diesel , 1 gas we do about 6 plow days every year, good times ! Nebraska farmer

Quite a few neat memories in this video! According to my Dad, my Grandpa had a D 17 (although it might have been before my time, as Grandpa retired when I was only about 5 or 6, so I only have a very vague recollection of a couple of tractors parked in his shed), along with a few other AC tractors during his time. The JD 4020 was also one of the first tractors I drove when helping some local farmers pull gravity wagons, as well as a 460 when helping out another farmer in my early teens. This was a really fun video to watch! Thank you!

That allis is really pretty

that 4230 narrow has such a unique look

Good stuff! Love the old school tillage. I know today theyve gotten very technical about tillage, environmentally friendly, etc… I still think if I were still farming today, I’d want to plow, disk, the way we did in the 60’s and 70’s. Just love to see the color of that fresh ground rolled over.

A plow day is always a great event👍😉 cool to see old tractors at work😁👍

Those prices were huge in my day, but god I wish I could go back and buy a couple and stick in the barn.😀😀😀😀

Back in the day I learned to drive on a McCormack international 434 with a 3 furrow plough. Thought she was a beast back then

450 farmall. My great grandpa bought it used in the 50s and it is still in the family it was restored in the early 2000s I forgot the exact year she runs like a dream

Oh man, sounds like you were pretty close to me. Back before my neighbor became grandparents, they would have this massive tractor ride/Party every summer. It was like having a tractor show right in front of my house.

Thank you for using your time to put this out here so I could enjoy it👍

We had three JD830 ies growing up. In the late 60ies dad bought a hitch to attach two of the tractors together, and dueled up the tires. It grabbed a lot of attention from the neighbors. Some still talk about it 50+ years later.

I would like to own an 830 some day.

My tractor we had was a 4020 diesel with power shift pulling a semi mount 5-16 slat plow. It was fun driving. Rob john from Illinois

Thank you for another great video. It takes a lot of time to make a 14 minute video of this quality.

In this day of 300, 400HP or more tractors it's fascinating to see 27 or 45HP machines working

I have a 1967 John Deere 4020 Diesel fully restored that I use for haying every summer. I’d love to see what the old girl will do with a good plow behind her. 👍🏼

Lovely sounds from those big Deeres. I know someone who'd be very pleased with that beautiful Allis

I've always had a soft spot for those John Deere Model A tractors. I just love them

I love the classic square looks of these old beasts.

Miss the good ol days

No plow Sally’s there! All those plows are sunk deep into the ground.

Have you considered doing an overview video of the various types of pulled implements? Naming each of them and saying what they do and why they are used could make for a very handy reference video. Things like plow vs disker vs roller, seeder vs seed drill, etc. Loving the videos as always! Thank you for what you're doing!

That Case 300 was like a homecoming to me. I used to own a Volvo T24 tractor with the same amount of horse powers. I actually like tractors with that amount of HP in their engines, as they remind me of the tractor i once owned

Great video ah the memories love all these old tractors but like the red and the green ones the best 👍

I am originally from Sumner, IA, and my dad had a '59 Case 800 diesel, case-o- matic and a 4-16 trail type plow and it was one nice setup to plow with! I lost track of the tractor, it was sold at auction and my brother said somebody north of West Union bought it!

Favorite tractors in video 2 Cylinders!

My dad was telling us while back that than in the late 60’s when he took over the dairy farm an my folks just got married an plowing in November on a open station tractor an a 5 bottom plow all bundled up. Than bought a cab tractor in the late 70’s.

Got a love that green and yellow

I like the 4020 the best. One of the best ever made.

Wonder if you would get more AC's in Wisconsin plow day. There used to be a lot of them in Indiana.

Love them all. They are awesome to watch and operate. I've worked with you 4020 4320 and 5020 growing up on a tobacco farm. The 4020 was the best one to cut hay with. It was the best size to pull the hay binder. I also drove out 7,000 model Allis Chalmers cutting hay. That was a nice tractor too. And I wish I just had one I could take to one of them plow days. Anyway awesome video loved everyone of those tractors. 😀👍

With that many tractors, that dirt will be turned over in no time.

Very cool. Still getting it done!

I've enjoyed this video most of all recent. Just love the old iron. I've never farmed but I was an OTR/OO for 50 years and I've traversed those same fields you feature in your videos so often. Iowa, Indiana Ohio , Montana, Kansas......I road back and forth East and West ...North and South and a lot of in between. I love the old iron. I amazed at how much they have progressed over the years. I'm also one of the bull headed people who still understand how the price of farm equipment doesn't drastically increase the price of food. if they still till the same acreage their fathers and grandfathers plowed then I don't see how $300K or more don't affect the price of say corn compared to 40 years ago when the machine that plowed that same acreage oboy cost say $11,000K??? In the store a few minutes ago. $2.69 for a head of lettuce.$8.35 for a small tray of stew meat. We may all have to start farming to survive!

That 400 Case is a beauty!

I like all your videos and I try to watch them all. Love seeing these old and new equipment out there every day earning there keep. Would like to see tractors pulling offset disc and reverseible turn plow. Like seeing international and Kubota tractors. Have a great day be safe.

Great video! I love seeing the classic orange paint!

My dad owned a farmall b with the tires side by side in the front(last time he used it before he passed was 1982 ),i thought it was a cool tractor,small ,but neat.he only farmed like 5acres.

Would love to have seen a little D10 AC, tremendous amt of work out of a small tractor!

I like seeing all of them I was curious to what size plows they are pulling I like you I was Chalmers and the cases and the old John Deere a most of all

Great video Jason. I saw a couple things I haven't seen too often--front fenders on a 2WD and Mud flaps on a tractor. That isn't to say they aren't necessary. Liked the narrow front big tractors.

people love to dog the 404 for not having the most snort, but it's a great sounding engine. Sounds bigger than it is with a straight pipe.

There’s some great Ag history there!!

All of those tractors are cool, but liked that wheatland 4020, 5010, 4230nf and AC 190xt nf 😎

Sweet Music!!!!

สุดยอดมากเลยครับ👍👍👍

i would kill to have grandpa's 1066 turbo back. i used to sleep in the wheels when i was a tiny kid while he worked around the barn.

Did Allis offer Narrow Front after that series?

Beautiful tractor very strong 😁💪

I'd love to join a plow day like that!

I used to drive a JD 830 and a 730. My Dad also had an International 300

Love to listen to the old JDs

Enjoy seeing the antique tractors and equipment good video brother

Great video BTP. It's awesome to see some of the younger generation that still have an interest in the older classics tractors. I have put many hours on a 3020 John Deere plowing crops.

So if this event is right up the road from the field of dreams and this is also the field of dreams 🤔 hmm this one’s better

Kind of hard to say (without the paperwork) that the 4230 was the 'last' tricycle front end produced, as it was not that much work to change out the front ends (4 bolts, IIRC), between a single front wheel, WFE, or the NF. Also, the JD Model "A" shown as being 27 HP, was, as the shifting box (square) as a 1950-1952 year, which had 38 HP on the belt, and 35 HP on the drawbar.

👍👍👍👍👍Good job seeing the old gear working makes you wonder 50 60 years later are we beter off or just more stressed in life. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 no fancy electronics to empty your pockets here.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I want to put plowing back into my practice, need a nice 10 bottom for my 8550

I'm surprised that some of these beautiful machines were only made a couple of years.

Love forty twenties

MF 1100 and IH 1086 pulling chisel pow, disking

Wow that’s like 30 miles away from me

Great video love the nf

Just did some plowing with my 3294 Case today and my 6 bottom.. Did pretty good I thought.

The AC D-17 driver looked a bit like the AC guy from J-L Videos RU-vid channel.
