Today on the farm we are using something old...but NEW TO US! We disc up a patch of ground with a 1965 DIESEL 4020, then follow close behind with a 1965 GAS 4020 hooked up to a planter. Sweet corn is officially in the ground and growing. Be sure to check out the other videos I have up about planting, and stick around to see the results. Do you have any questions I can answer? As always, I am so grateful that you chose to spend some of your time here with me on the farm in Nebraska. I hope you have a blessed day, and we'll see you next time!

I was 11 years old when I started driving a 4020 in the early '60s. I tip my hat to you two for giving those two old war horses new life and new purpose, enjoy! 🇺🇸🚜🇺🇸

No air-conditioned cab, no auto steer, no seed tinder? I didn't think you could still plant corn like that. 😁 Well done, Laura and Grant. I like seeing the old tractors doing what they have been doing for a long time.

Another great video Laura; once again, with all the bigger tractors and modern tech. Sometimes life just calls for some old fashioned gear and chain driven dirt working. I really got to get back on the old '65 Oliver and '53 J.D 40. Thank you and God bless.

That's when driving tractors was a real art! Open air cabs, the smell of freshly-turned dirt, the breeze in your face, the "GPS" was a visual point far ahead (or flags, if needed). Those old workhorses still get the job done (albeit quite a bit slower than all the huge modern equipment). Thanks for using those old tractors, and sharing it with us oldtimers!

@donaldoswald5329 Месяц назад

Well done, wonderful 4020's!! You need to get front weights on the planter tractor as the 6 row 7100 keeps lifting your front axle off the ground for safe steering and handling. I used to plant with a 6 row lister (JD) with dry fertilizer boxes and those front weights where much safer on my 1968 IH 856 (compares hp to the JD 4020 and planted at 5 mph.

@ockertbrits6907 29 дней назад

Correct. We always had weights on the nose. Especially when pulling a 6 share plough...

Thanks Laura for rescueing those tractors. The 4020 especially the side console late models are my absolute favorite. Those tired old machines can still do a lot of work but I wouldn't ask them to. I am sure they have already done their share. Treat them well. They deserve it...

Good morning Sunshine!! It was great seeing you and Grant again today. I loved you telling the story about how you came about picking up the equipment. It is so nice you see you have a passion for getting the older equipment and restoring them to look good and function as intended. It was a joy watching you discing and then planting. I think, if the truth were known, the equipment was just as glad and having as much fun as you were Laura. Have a great week. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Those 4020’s are the best tractor John Derre ever made. They did lots of the heavy work and many had them for the big tractor. They’ll still be running when them new ones are in the grave. I have a 1940 Case DC4 and a 1961 Case 930 Diesel; can’t kill them. God bless you for saving them, but keep them busy

I grew up in Central Illinois but have been living in Southern California now for many years after I left the USMC I stayed here because of the economic reasons and I see this young lady and I remember my childhood on the farm and remember my (4) years in FFA. I remember young ladies like Laura that I grew up with that knew how to do everything because they had good Folks, a Mother and Father that taught them how to exist on the land and farm. I remember when John Deere brought out their 4020 model. It was really expensive for a Farmer to invest in but the 4020 like the old Johnny popper (D) are still going today even with years of serious neglect. That shows you the kind of America we were back then. Keep Going Ms. Laura and your little Brother. G-D Bless you all....

You two brought a tear to my eyes in how much pride you took to bring back the older equipment to life on your farm. You do not see this all that much in today's world so you so very much.

Looks like a bracket and weights for the front of that gas 4020 would be the ticket. It’s really light, with the tires coming off the ground when you’ve got an implement on.

@paulcourtemanche2386 Месяц назад

I have been watching for about 3 years and this is my first comment. I grew up in New Hampshire, and one of my uncles bought a farm in the late 1970s up in Maine. I have logged many miles in fields and on the roads in old tractors, and they are incredibly fun and enjoyable to use. The narrow front end Farmall "M" row cropper is my favorite. I have had him watch a couple of your videos with me and he enjoyed them.

The seed placement and accuracy was so much better. Later I got a John Deere, 7200 and a 1750, with air-metering systems like yours. Again, I can't tell you how much I enjoy your, You Tube posts.

@jasonstclair6293 Месяц назад

As the weather finally dries up long enough around here for farmers to get in the fields I have seen a broad range of equipment around from old Cases, Fords, Whites, International, and John Deere with 6 and 8 row planters all the way up to some crazy big track units and folding or rotating planters. I actually saw the first Allis Chalmers I have seen in several years out working up some ground for planting earlier today. Besides being cool the old stuff is repairable by the average person... something helping to keep them alive.
