My dad bought a 4320 brand new in 1972. What a beast it was.

We had 2 cabbed 4520s. That was an upgrade from our 4010 and 4020. In the 60's in Central Illinois, we were moving away from plowing to minimum tillage using a disk and chisel plow. These two tractors were real workhorses for us

Awesome tractors!

I have had one for the last 30 years. It was a main tractor for me, along with a 4430. I had the 4520's engine overhauled a couple of years back. I don't use it for much now but I still have the 5 btm plow it used to pull , it might make a few "plow days" in my retirement.

We have 3 4020s. And 1 4620

great video...I've always wanted to know the history on the 4520 bc I could never figure out how the 4620 fit into the picture...now I know! I hope you do a video on the 4320 & 4620....also the 6030....I could never understand why they kept that around after having put out Gen 2 30 series SGB's.

Hopefully will get to those soon! Thanks for watching👍🏻

A farmer that lived just a mile away from where I grew up had a 4520 with a 158 loader, man-o-man what a combination tractor and loader! He used that tractor for collecting round bales with a bale spear front and back, you could come off the field with 4 bales at a time and the tractor wouldn’t even mind!

Hope it was a powershift, because the synchro smash runs out of oil for loaders

Love your videos Locust Motor Works, you know how to prepare and present your knowledge of John Deere Tractor’s, always nice seeing what you are going to talk about next!

Knew of a few 4520's around norther n Illinois. Had an uncle that had one around Macomb Il. Never thought of asking anyone if I could run one, I guess at the time was just too busy. Did have a fella that did have one that also ran my grandfather's 4320 say that it seemed the 4320 had more power for its size then the 4520. My grandfather had a 4320, and two 4020's, one a powershift and the other one was a synchro. My preference was always the 4020 powershift, was much handier around my grandfather's livestock farm. The 4320 worked well, went through three turbo's from I guess idling around doing spreading duty and sometimes running the Knight Big Auggie. I guess the 4320 seemed a little better for field work, If I had the chance to purchase today a new 1972 4020 powershift, or a new 1972 4320, I would choose the 4020 powershift every time. Good video, good information.

I'd really like to see a video about the 4640. Everyone always talks about the 4440, let's hear about the 4640

You really should do a G history video, considering how legendary they are amongst enthusiasts.

Your 4520 sounds good! Gotta love the the cloud of black smoke👍🏻

We have a 1969 4520 and we are in 🇬🇧 she was brought over from the USA about 2 years ago we take to local shows and on tractor runs to she gets a few people looking around her because not many in 🇬🇧 compared to the 4020.

Great video. I hope you do a video on the 2040 through the 2940 series.

I’d love to find a 4520 for 12-15k cause there’s 4020’s selling around 16-18k here and the 4520’s are around 20-25k from everything I’ve seen

I’ve got two models to suggest. One is the John Deere 2010 and the other is the John Deere 318. I’ve owned both and know the issues with the JD 2010 but would like to hear your thoughts on where Deere messed up. On the 318, I’ve just acquired one and am impressed thus far.

🎉Suggest a video on the John Deere 50 series -- which were produced from 1983 to 1986/87.

How about the 4320 and options

The 4520 had a few faults no inter cooler ,bad design cbc injector pump and air cleaner and to me seemed gutless for its size and weight the 4020 really punched above its weight i comparison considering it was only a 90hp tractor i think the 4620 rectified most or all the 4520 problems . R

4620 didn't solve any. I had a 4520 and my friend has a 4620, both gutless wonders. We used mine on a great plains drill billion cultipacker, and track eliminator, it had its hands full. Replaced the 4520 with a 190xt series 3, which played with the same load. Big clumsy and gutless.

Back in the day someone traded a 4520 in at local IH dealer
