The series that put John Deere over the top..

I've used a 3010 gas with synchro range, 3020 diesel with synchro range, but the 1967 JD 4020 Diesel with power shift transmission was a tractor I loved the most. The 3010 had a narrow front and we used a mounted John Deere corn picker on it, but that's when I was real young and my job was riding in the wagon when we had a sheller on the mounted picker.

in 1950 when the decision to radically make over the John Deere tractor line was made, JD was a weak second in the market place to International - Farmall. Deere made a great decision for its future, IH failed in its. IH appointed as corporate head their very successful head of Truck sales and he diverted IH's attention to that area. He had little past experience with tractor development, especially how long it took to bring a new product to market. The result is that when IH brought its new idea tractors to market lead by the 560, they did it with too little field time development under their belts. IH went from a company with a history of excellent products to one with a halo tractor with a weak rear end the ultimately resulted in a total recall to be repaired and update. In the heart of that fiasco, Deere rolled out the New Generation and jumped into the sales lead in tractors. They've never given up the lead since.

Deere also has the fiasco of Wakisha engine damn near killing Oliver when they went on strike, Oliver had enough orders due to their successful over direct under power shift to rock the market. Then Wakisha engine went on strike, Oliver had already traded in the tractors and resold many so they were gone, IH was at capacity and could not produce much more and that left Deere to fill the gap, the rest is history. My neighbor ended up with two 4320's and never looked back.

We had two 4020's when I was in high school. We move on to many models after the 4020's. We had to overhaul both 4020's at lower engine hours than our 4450 or 4240 or several of the other Deere tractors we had. I wouldn't say the 4020 needed an overhaul early, just didn't last as long as the 40 or 50 series engines.

John Deere was forward thinking unlike many companies who kept old designs and were not able to keep up with progress.

Better power, better weight, only weak spot on ours was the PTO clutch-didn't seem to last as long but we used it for running a silage chopper so it got a lot of use.

John Deere blew IHC out of the water with the New Generation of tractors. The red tractors tried to keep up but they lacked the creature comforts that JD engineered into its new line. The simple one lever shifting pattern and synchronized shifting made loader work easy with them. Also, the throttle position lever was a far cry better than the International’s and the hydraulics and brakes were light years ahead of the competition. The 1969 model year upgrades to side pedestal hydraulic controls cemented JD’s leadership in the tractor market.

@@LocustMotorWorks my dad first turned me loose on a 1965 4020 Power Shift one evening in the fall of 1975 when I was ten years old. I was pulling a five-bottom semi-mounted plow with sixteen inch points in a field west of the house. He was running a 3020 with a mounted four-bottom plow. We worked into the night to finish up the field. The 4020 had an aftermarket turbocharger kit with straight chrome stack. I will never forget the sound or the sight of flame shooting six inches out of the top of the stack. A couple of years later, I started working for my uncle for $3 per hour running a 1972 4620. I pulled a 6-18 plow with that among many other utensils (22 ft. disk, 30 ft. field cultivator, anhydrous applicator, etc.). I also occasionally ran his 1978 8630. All before the age of sixteen... I operated all kinds of other equipment for other local farmers that were friends of my dad, hustling to make money through middle school and high school. Allis Chalmers, Deutz, Ford, International, and others. The Deere machines were far superior in every way. One day in 1978, my uncle got in an argument with a rep from the local Massey Ferguson dealer. The rep was bragging up their brand new 1155 V-8 powered tractor that they had on their lot. Next thing you know, the dealer trucks his new 1155 out to the farm for a demonstration. One of the fields we cultivated had been part of a fisheries years ago and was composed of hard, black clay muck. We had to plow it in the fall and let it rest over the winter to be able to break it up enough to plant in the spring. They hooked the 1155 to the 6-18 Deere plow that we used with the 4620 and headed out to the muck field. The dealer selected the range he wanted and dropped into an existing furrow and promptly killed the engine. After several tries, he ended up in it's lowest range and finally struggled through one pass. He climbed off and said, "There ain't any tractor can pull a plow through that ground." Laughter ensued. My uncle brought the 4620 out and hooked up to the plow. He selected fourth gear (normally, I plowed in fifth, sometimes sixth, but this was really hard pulling ground) and dropped into the furrow and lowered the plow and rolled on the power. The Deere settled in with light smoke rolling and ripped through a full pass at 4.5 mph. The Massey dealer stood there dumbfounded. He never said another word and loaded his tractor and headed back to town.

@@RJ1999x well when a xt190 had the same rear end as wd45 the 4010 was a much stronger machine,didn't produce metal like a xt190. The hydraulic system of a 4010 was and still is compatible with modern equipment today,allis and farmall stuck with a open center system too long. the systems you speak of ran from 1960-1994 so it couldn't have been very difficult to work with. After allis sold to deutz the conversation ends there is no blood line. #solidstablestilljohndeere

Awesome machines, Thanks for watching

Imagine John Deere with a JegmTech engine, the sky is the limit.

I would have picker MM.

The question is, why did John Deere stay with the 2 cylinder tractor for so long ? Other tractor manufacturers had moved on to 4 and 6 cylinder on-line long ago.

They couldn't decide which company they should copy

You completely left out the contribution of Lanz from Germany. You might want to find out about it, it will change your perspective.

I have a funny story My uncle bought a 4020 1-3 years ago and my dad went to pick it up and there was to on the lot and one was all nice looking and the uthere look beet up mechanically it was fine but it look bad, and the sales man sed which one are you picking up the my dad looked at both tractors and pointed at the beetid up one and said that one

Steyr 8130

I would take a 4020 diesel with a chrome straight pipe pulling silage wagons any day over a 706 International. Step on the clutch of that 706 and wait 10 minutes for the unsynchronized gears to stop turning in the transmission then hook up took too much time. 4020 diesel with a straight chrome exhaust pipe would beller like a bull!
