Walkthrough of John Deere 4020 Classic Tractor

[tornadvort211]

What a tractor, I have so many hours on my 10/20 but at this point I bought it used long ago and it is ready to retire! I could not even use such a nice tractor like this one. John Deere is a great hilclimber I trust!

saw her this spring at the factory, after watching our 9670 be built.. kinda wanted to load her up and take her home so i could stare at her all day long haha. im my memory serves there was also a mint 4960 there too that i would love to own, also a 7810 with ivt never knew that was an option.. oh and alot of others but wow my 3 day trip to monline and waterloo was extrodinary.. the combine factory on a gold key tour, tractor factory, and the engine factory

Cool :) love jd 4020s

[Archivesman1]

Is there any possibility that John Deere would again produce the 4020 and market it as a utility or smaller row-crop tractor? Several auto companies have produced retro automobiles and have been successful and I think the 4020 would be a huge seller.

we use to have 2 4020's they where a 69 years these are good tractors ours where 110hp on the PTO though this should be 95hp we pulled 4/16's with them we sold them because there was no money in farming a 4020 at a tractor pull still will pull more than a new JD our 4020 had a copper fuel tank if i remember right

[chevysb400]

I hate those rollover bars. crowds the cab. and @ 1:39 shouldnt he say the new tractors are just like the 4020??? the 4020 did come first

[chevysb400]

I hate those rollover bars. crowds the cab.

[ROBERTCHARLO]

man i wish i could have all of these tractors.

[homerjful]

Should it be 16.9x34 or 18.4x 34? Never heard of 16.4x34.

[19mg94]

did anyone notice the pushed back muffler lol

[termax02]

I plant with a 4020,and move pigs with a 4010.

[tylerc1992charlo]

how much for it? lol

[brian93ist]

How many tractor did john deere make in 1972?

[MultiBaldEagle]

@brian93ist ....if my memory serves me there was the 820, 1520, 2020, 2520, 3020, 4020, 4320, 4620, 6030, 7020 and 7520. Not sure about those last 2. I never kept up with the big articulated 4wds that much.

[thegreenerthemeaner]

@MultiBaldEagle missed the 1020 and the 4520. The 6030 was a new gen machine but came out for the 1973 model year in the fall of 72 so it just barely squeaks in despite styling and technology. The 7020 came out in 1970, the 7520 the same time as the 6030. Transition years for Deere in those days were quite interesting.

[MultiBaldEagle]

@MultiBaldEagle ....No sir, the 4520 (122hp) was made for only 2 model years, 1968 and 69. It was replaced in 1970 by the 4320 (116hp) and the 4620 (135 hp). The 6030 (175 hp) was also introduced in 1970 as a much more powerful replacement for the old 5020 (140 hp)

Mr. Holst, I am a professional historian and archivist. I appreciate the video a great deal and the efforts by you, your staff and colleagues. I know there is a huge market for this type of informational video on other models. I think the greatest demand would be on the tractors made from 1960 to 1985. I look forward to more videos of this caliber.

[machinefinder]

We'll definitely keep your feedback in mind!

[dmeyer302]

The steering wheel has a Y2K logo on it. (???)

[machinefinder]

Good catch and appreciate the comment! - We're talking to the folks at the factory to see if we can find the story behind the new steering wheel.

[Archivesman1]

Why would you want to do an overhaul on a tractor that never left the factory? Or am I missing something here? Was Mr. Chip Booth going to overhaul another 4020 and not the one in the video?

[machinefinder]

This tractor is definitely NOT the one being overhauled. The one Chip is working is an open-station 1970 model that has been out farming and could use some TLC.

We filmed our video with this one because we knew it would be in great shape and thought everyone would like a look at it.

@machinefinder Hello Sir. Im considering buying a 4020 tractor. Its a 1972 Diesel. I need to know where I could find the Front Loader Attachements for this tractor? what would fit? Thank you for your time. Genecanhelpu@aol.com

[chevysb400]

@305boarkiller I think your best bet would be to search online classifieds, like craigslist, and find a loader that is made to fit a 4020, there are many available, some are good, some aren't the best. A used loader would be much cheaper, you can find newer models that fit but will be just as expensive as the tractor itself.

[247Countryboy1]

@machinefinder Thank god, because the one he did is an insult to the Deere family

[Countryboy830]

@machinefinder Whats with the dent in the hood???

[chevysb400]

@Archivesman1 It was Chip Foose actually.. and they didnt even overhaul it. they technically "repowered" it with some v8

[19mg94]

@chevysb400 they didnt repower it with a V8

[kirbylee57]

@Archivesman1 I wondered the same thing. 

[Archivesman1]

This is excellent. I would like to see the same type of presentation made on other John Deere models. Will that, or has that taken place?

[machinefinder]

We dont have plans to shoot presentations like this on other tractors right now, but we let the team in Heritage Marketing know that you enjoyed it and that youd like to see more like it.

Thank you for the great comments, they are sincerely appreciated :-)

[refriedrindog]

what a beauty we have a 1971 model no cab wide front power shift also the 4020 cabs were too loud

[generationll]

Thats is a Roll Gard cab.Then came the 100hp 4230.Admittedly we would rather have a 4320 or a 4430
