Watch as this close to 15000 pound 830 drags the sled out the end in this demonstration pull.

  • I think that thing would pull hell up by the roots if you could find a strong enough chain

  • Hell... she wasn't even working hard!

    Love those old JD diesel twins. They'd pull right down to where you could count the teeth on the flywheel gear as they passed by (if you have the cover off, of course), and then pull some more!

    My favourite JD two cylinder model is the 830!

    I am an "International Harvester" guy but I love antique tractors of any brand

    The original JD R had some problems, the 80 was an improvement , the 820 was very good and the 830 was excellent!

    Then JD stopped making two cylinder tractors!

    The 830 is now popular with collect

  • 14,940 pounds is close to a 5010/5020

  • dang, that sounds real nice!

  • they where a lot more focused on getting the job done back in the day. .

  • A great pull, without doubt. But I think just as big an advert for the tyres used, which were set at very low pressure to maximise grip. Farmers probably wouldn't run their tyres like this unless doing work on boggy ground. I'd like to see the same pull with tyre pressure set to normal, where the wrinkling at the bottom wouldn't appear. Maybe these old girls are so torquey that it wouldn't make a huge difference. A fine video. Greetings from NZ.

    The shorter chain gives the tractor better traction. So instead of slipping the tires and keeping the engine running, the tires would hook up and gut the engine.

    The chain is short enough when you have to bump the wheelie bars against the pan of the sled to be close enough to hook the chain up.

  • the king of the two cylinders!!!

  • nice sound
