Tilling our garden in Spring of 2007 with my son, using our 1973 140H3 with 42" Model 33 tiller. There have been lots of questions about the loader. It is a Johnson Manufacturing 12A. Sold new with the tractor in 1973 for $1800.

  • What do you do to your soil to get it so rich like that....Every year I need to add loads of compost and it seems like I dont get the rich soil as in your video...I add about 20-30 yards of compost each year in a 5000 square foot garden. You do have a nice set-up....

  • Lots of compost. There are four large trees on our property, and I am able to compost the prior years Fall years into the garden every fall. I basically make a half yard of "dirt each year that goes in the garden. I also till in 3 bales of straw that was used the prior fall for decoration.

  • The soil was black to begin with, but the compost and straw keeps it loose. I think the straw does the most of the work. Also that is the second tilling.  Moldboard plow in the fall, til twice in the spring.

  • Sweet loader. Wish I had one for my 318.

  • Very nice i want it for my JD 140 ,but in germany is that very rare :(

    Watch my John deere on my Profil =)

  • I have a '74 140 with deck, plow, blower and cart. These things are unbelieveable for the work they do.

  • I myself wouldn't put a loader on something that small, but thats just me. I got a john deere 3038e compast tractor with a front end loader and you can lift alot of weight with it. Nice vid though, I like your tiller. We just got a 5' country line tiller for our 3038e.

  • yea 140 was made for a loader. thats why so many people have them. if you dont know anything about john deere or tractors dont even bother. we are john deere people that have fun. thanx and awesome tractor
