Just came across this. I worked for a farmer who re-powered when new generations came out. He had two 4850s and two 4960s. The 4960s were plastic pieces of junk and I couldn't keep the ACs running, in Florida. The 4850s were a dream to drive. Nothing was beeping or falling off in your lap. I bought my own big crows foot wrench because the hydraulic line under the front axle kept leaking on one. I had owned two 4250s when I had owned a farm previously. Loved them. My brother still has our 1971 3020.

I have always loved the way they sound, look, and operate. They truly are a great tractor for 200+ hp

what an enjoyable time spent with four powerful happy young men enjoying the farming life, thanks so much for making it

Always fun to go on road trips with a few buddies this time of year. Get away from home and see new stuff with good company. Glad the unloading process went really smoothly. At first I wasn't convinced that was going to work but it did. Good video Ryan!

Love the 4960. Looks like it teamed up with an interior kit recently. Sweet!

Good video in spite of negative arguments after the fact! Lol I'm retired mailman and really enjoy your posts ! Thank you.

The 4960 and 6030 are my all time favorite John Deere tractors.

Very nice 4960! Well taken care of. Nice looking White next to it also.

Thanks for sharing Ryan..

I drove both the 4960 and an MX255 around the lot up there about 3 months ago, the Deere is a very nice and clean machine!!

ROAD TRIP! Thorp isn't too far away from where my mom's side of the family originated. My grandparents met and married in Boyd, and there are some shoestring relatives still living there today. Apparently, one of my great uncles operated a creamery there when my mom was growing up. A few friends of mine actually had a family farm very close by there. Thanks for the ride-along and window shopping! That yellow semi tractor was nice.

I was watching one of big tractor power videos an his boy was wearing one of yalls shirts. I thought that was pretty cool.

Nice to see some "farm kids" on a road trip to get new equipment.

Thanks like the video Ryan love the 4960 too .

We just bought a 4960 last year and I love it

Had to find this video because we farm just south of town

I'm with you on the 60 series. I liked them. Somebody just put a 4760 up for sale up the highway from me. Brought back memories from my late teens. Farm I worked on traded 4430 for 4760. And yes they did come with quad range. This 4760 was first tractor with quad range transmission. I hated it. It was so hard to shift. Then a few years later I climbed up in a 7800 with quad range and it shifted pretty easy. So maybe it was something wrong with it in 4760. Other than that I really liked the 4760.

I like the 60 series but its not my favorite my to favorite series of tractors are the 40 series and the 55 series got a nice 4640 quad range and a nice 4955 powershift on our farm

those 7000 series john deere's are my favorite, we have a 7930 and that is my favorite machine to drive

Listen, I have lived in the area you traveled here(NE WI) my entire 40 years of life, grew up on a dairy farm(Dad got out of farming in the late 90's) and you need to know this- Swiderski implement is a very large operation, that offers a very large variety of equipment and tractors in both age and make. If you take time to look at their inventory over time, you will find they offer an unusual amount of "overhauled" tractors. Some seem to hae less hours then one would think for an overhaul, some many more. Growing up we used to get the trading post farmer's newspaper, and Swiderski had a full page ad. They had all kinds of tractors, lots of Olivers, some Molines, MF- remember this is the 80's and in this area the dealerships for those brands were very, very scarce. So Swiderski was one of few to service them. Thing is, they would have say, an Oliver 1850 let's say. "Recent overhaul". Then you would see the hour meter had litterally rolled over. Same with countless IH tractors, machines with 9000+ hours on them with "recent overhaul". Then you would hear stories of people that bought one of these overhauled tractors, put 500 hours on them and rear ends blew out, PTO quit working, or if you were lucky, the supposedly overhauled engine would go and you could go to bat about defective work etc. Remember now, tractors in the 60's weren't built to run 12000 hours before a major overhaul. Most made it to 5000, maybe 7000 and then you OH'd it as a precaution so you didn't throw a rod through the block. Could you find a good unit? Sure. Was it parked right next to a unit that had been overhauled twice and had 11000 hours on it and shiny new paint? Sure. Was that parked next to a tractor that had been under water in some flood down south(or right up in this neck of the woods in the 90's) and dredged out and cleaned up? Sure. So when you see that nice looking, super clean JD there you like, just remember, it could have been sitting under 20 feet of water at some point, it may have had a half-arsed OH done so it didn't smoke anymore, you might get it home, run it one season and go to use it in the spring and find out the powershift for the first 3 gears is failing suddenly, etc. or you might take it home and get a really good deal. THAT is Swiderski, it's a gamble you have to decide if you want to take, if the price is right. you know what they say, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" There is a reason they want 20 grand more for the other tractor with tons more hours on it- that one was bought at an auction and not dredged out of the river in Texas. Just don't get ripped off. look for mud where mud shouldn't be. look for water lines on the sides(if it was in say, 4 feet of water you might see a trace of where the water height was on the tractor) look for shiny new paint, it was put there to hide somthing not make it extra nice. Just don't get ripped off.

Only one john deere that I will try and buy is a 4450 because my grandad had one but it got too worn out to run and repairing it would cost an arm and a leg so we had to sell it

And a good time had by all. Look and see what a 4455 sold for on Machinery Pete’s site recently . Old iron brought big money.thx for the ride

😍 I love the 4960! My dream tractor too!

Love the 6175 agco white in the video

Nice looking tractor I pulled up in Thorp this Summer.

That key looks like the standard JD key for everything in the day. It fit the 2750 that I mowed pine tree rows with as well as the 450C crawler that we did cleanup work with. I also have one in my pocket right now. :) :)

Another iconic John Deere history

4960's are very nice, I have one that is in very nice condition!

That 4960 is a sweet tractor. Im taking a liking to the SG cab.

This is really funny seeing as I looked at that same tractor last spring

Glad to see you got some down time

That 9330 looks good 👌

4960' Old school beauty!

I am from up in that area of WI, so funny you said cataract mart! Such a small town but I drive it from where I live now, to where I grew up! If you like meat they have it! Beef sticks, brats ect! lol

That boxcar magnum would be a nice tractor. They run very good!

Almost to 200,000 subs. Looks like a nice tractor and congrats on all you success

We ran a 4960 for years on our farm as our tillage tractor and I loved the thing. Sold it when we upgraded to a newer tractor so we could handle other jobs on the farm then just tillage to the neighboring county. Only major issue we had was the engine blew on it but it was due to the fact that one of the engine air filters wasn’t screwed in all the way when it was replaced but it had 1100 on the overhaul and don’t remember before the engine blew

Nice road trip!! Eric is driving because, why are you driving? Lol 😂

Nice vid never stop farming

You do great work Ryan. Thanks for such a great channel :)

I love those old planters

4960 is a solid tractor ryan! We had a quad range 4760 for 15 years, and man it was a good one! The 4560 and 4760 were both sold with quad range option on the 2wd, but not the 4wd, and 4960s are all powershift. There's your trivia for the day!

What’s the difference between quad range and power shift transmission. I know nothing about tractors, I’ve always been interested in them but just recently want to know more about them and learn something new

@Rosso_Dabosso

To be very simple, quad range has two shifters and powershift has one. In quad, you have A B C and D on one shifter, then 1 2 3 4 and r1 and r2. On powershift, all the gears are just all in the same column, and you shift through each one

We've been to Thorpe. Great people.

We have a 4955 mfwd and love it, i think its the best tractor on the farm imo

I like your channel a lot, you make the Best farm videos on KZread!

Great video Ryan. I live on a farm by Reward Saskatchewan Canada. I farm with my 2 brothers. Me and my 2 brothers use to have 60 to 70 cows but not anymore. Me and my 2 brothers are just grain farmers now.

thats cool the 4960 has that table platform on it. but look at all those sexy iron tractors.

This is interesting we are from northern Michigan and do a lot or pretty much all of our dealing with swiderskis from Merrill. Same owners. And another thing you were with in about 5 miles from one of my cousins who is a fair size dairy farmer there.

I adore the 4960’s. Buy it buy it.

Love the body style Ryan we have a 4640 with the exhaust the same way

The Thorpedo has great food!

Nice job

4960 is my favorite tractor

Like those 7820’s what we use to bale peanut hay and run the field cultivater

realy nice grain drill I have to say my uncle who is a contractor has a 4900 I think they always refer to it as the beast so.

That's a mighty fine lookin' 4690. 4850 MFWD is more my jam, and made during my birth year.

Up in my neck of the woods, just down 29 a ways. Go about another block down the road and there is a great place to get spices for making sausage. :)

4960s are my favorite also

I"ve seen one here in Florida went for 25K. It's a great Tractor. I owned one myself back in the day.

you should be a farm equipment salesman. Even though i have all the equipment i need that 4960 sure brings out the urge to own.

Nice tractor looks from the thumbnail pretty good

Love ur vids. Keep it up

Guy in the grey shirt in the backseat is just loads of fun I bet. Looks like a serial killer. LMBO. NAAA, Sure he's a great guy. Thanks for the awesome videos and keepem coming. Happy Holidays from Arkansas

I love 4960s like the design

I lived on a free stall operation when I was in my early teens and they had JDs.The biggest was a 5020 with big flotation tires on the front ,it was one of the biggest tractors in the area. Years later I became a heavy equipment operator and ran big equipment but will always remember how sitting in that seat it look like a big whale in front of you the way the hood was.

Nice 4960

That 8330 next to it would be a nice upgrade for you

always loved the 60 series put over a thousand hours on a 4760 before i moved

Yeay love douse videos

we have a 4760 power shift love it

that is a really good looking tractor

Like that 9330 beside it

That is a good looking 4960! The only thing that looks kinda odd is the extremely curvy exhaust pipe. It must work fine because I have seen 60 series tractors running a lot and they look fine but normally you try to keep the pipe as straight as possible.

Hey Ryan thats a good price for that 4960 i wish it was closer to where i lived i have always wanted one of those 2

There is a 4960 up in Mora MN with 700-900 hours on it. Older gentleman bought it new and barely used it. Probably not for sale but give it a few more years and im sure it will be.

I have to wonder why that's your dream tractor... I'm lusting after one of those blacked-out Deutz Fahr Warrior series rigs right now, myself.

My Dad and I own two 4440's a 4630 a 4850 and a 4960 all power shifts. My Dad and Grandfather were both certified John Deere mechanics. My Grandfather said when Deere came out with the power shift they called it idiot proof and on the first demo tractor they had warn the tred off the back tires shifting it on asphalt agressively with no transmission problems. Quads to shift from A,B,C range you have to stop or after a while you will have to rebuild your clutch packs which calls for you to split the tractor twice to build. I'm 32 my Dad's 57 and my grandfather is 88 and we have worked on maybe a hand full of power shifts but we have worked on dozens of quads oh and power shifts are cheaper to work on also only have to split once. Most big complaints about power shifts is the jaring shifting gears but when they changed from the 8 to a 15 speed with the 50 series it's a lot smoother.

My hometown!

Too bad that that 4960 couldn't have ridden home with you on your trailer while you were there. She was a beauty. :)

hi love your vids

Wow.....nice snow.......VERY HOT HERE in Brisbane Australia

Have you ever been to the farm machinery show in Georgetown Ohio? It outdoor. And if not you should try to go. I think it's a little better than Louisville. It has live demo's also.

Hey, you're up in my neck of the woods. Thorp is about 40 miles west of me.

love john deere

Love it my baby bro loves tractors that's for sharreing

"Its not the greatest, but they'd work for a while" THAT right there captures the can-do attitude in the Ag community!
