I had three 3020's in my early farm life. Had a '65, a '67 and a '68 years model. Farmed almost 1000 acres with the three old horses. Traded the oldest year model in '71 for a 4320 with cab and cold air. Surely helped beat the Texas heat! Later, traded all but one on 30, 40, and 50 model John Deere tractors. Still have the '68 3020 in the family.

So great to finally see a 3020. That was what I grew up using

We had a narrow front 3020 Diesel. I LOVED that tractor. Id jump on it over our 40 & 50 series cabbed tractors. I just bonded with it despite it being older than me.

That sure seems like a big load on, and weight for, only a 70 PTO HP tractor, yet it is doing it just fine. I would have thought that even a bit much for a 4020. Very cool to see.

Got very familiar with a 3020 during my farm-boy youth. Ideal for mucking out the cow barn, fixing fence, picking rock, powering the auger, plowing snow. Thank you for sharing.

Learned to drive on a German build 2020 that my father bought in 78. Later a 1020 was added as a replacement for a MF35 that was too worn. Good memories and for me still one of the best looking series.

I like to see pull type combines at work👍 nice to see a 3020 in action😁👍

Putting that 4 cylinder, 4.4 liter engine to work on that combine. A 3020 was the first tractor I got to drive growing up. Spent a lot of quality time raking hay, hauling wagons etc. When Dad trusted my driving skill, then I graduated to our 4620

I have a 1964 4020 row crop. The tractor was manufactured in Nov'63. I have owned it since 1983. I use it plowing, mowing and tedding hay, and blowing snow in upstate NY. Since I have owned it, I have replaced, and rebuilt and repainted everything on it except the steering valves.

They can grow some pretty good crop of wheat there!!JUST SUPER GREAT to watch and listen to that hard working tractor. I had 3020 powershift. Would have liked to put it on this combine. That powshift real worked for pto work. Thanks 😊.

I pulled a 600 Case pull type with my 3020. I had a Melroe pickup, and, that thing would eat a lot of small grain. I liked the Case, because it had a spike tooth cylinder and it made great straw for bedding, as well as doing a good job.

1969 4020. Bought it primarily as a baler tractor. Until my IH 574 blew a head gasket. Now the 4020 is responsible for all of the farm labor.

I never remember seeing it run but, my family had an Minneapolis Moline pull type combine with a 4 cylinder Wisconsin engine it sat in the barn for years finally went to sale in 1980.

Endless hours of cultivating corn in the summer as a kid on one of these. I was ten. It was a big step up from the A with the flywheel start. It even had a cab. I preferred the umbrella on the A cause I could shoot varmints right from the seat. Hard to believe that was over half a century ago!

The best tractor ever made in tandem with the 4020 is the 3020. Its still my main tractor which I learned to drive 43 years ago. As far as the one in the video is concerned, whether or not it was turned up who cares. Its obvious that the gentleman is having fun with a straight pipe and duals bolted to it. Isn't that what farming is all about? You might as well have fun with the work you have to accomplish. An excellent video overall and keep up the great work.

I can see a 4020 pulling that harvester...especially up and down hills. But, you run what you have; I've pulled a 9 foot Ford mower/conditioner with an Allis Chalmers D10 back when I was a young boy. The Ford 5000 was tied up on another job. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.

Since then it has mostly sat in the shed except for being brought out once a year to get hooked up with the homemade wood splitter. It only has 5033 hours total.

I like how that guy is sitting on the fender running the show with one hand and not busting his neck to oversee the operation. You would'nt have slipped a turbocharger under that hood for more power?
