tractors and dolly wheel scraper dont work the best
What happened?
@SouthernFarmingTV still here - just haven't finished or posted any videos in a long while ... kids, ful work loads, it's hard to find time for it all ... although i do need to begin posting again
My father got out of farming back in the 60 era and went in to trenching.He did very well financially.He had a cleveland he used.We lived in upstate New york.Not many were doing this work then so he got quite a few contracts.Thanks for showing.
That’s so cool never seen it
Do you have similar for sale? Do you have any d8k for sale?
What good is something if the tractor can not pull it ?
The disk was tp big for the tractor.. but worked well behind our d8t - check out the video of it
Fabulous video and excellent machine thankyou ❤👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
I really like watching the rear engine track loaders. It's amazing to me that CAT only has three sizes. 53, 63, and 73. They don't look huge like the D-7's through D-11's but when you see a 973 with a heaping bucket full of dirt it is 6' thick😊
Where did the interior parts come from like headliner
From John deere ... we sent it back 3 times, and all 3 were fails ...so we finally ordered a fehr and it fit great
You know it’s a big stump when it stands a 345 on its nose!..those old 345’s sound so good!
850JD is a brute 💪 💪
Poooooooooorest videooooooooooooooooooooo
D8K.......................... The best of the bests....... for everrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i ened up finding an ac 260 need to throw some weight on my three point i think... its a big ole girl
What happened to the channel? I thought by now something would be on here? You ok ?
I need to get back on here! the kids have reached an age where they take a lot of time, and working more than ever - i just haven't had the time to post anything - i started several videos - but never finished editing them ... I need to make it a point to get back to posting ...
Do you have pictures of the spray foam you did you applied below/inside the steering wheel councel?
Both are nice trailers
Los motores SISU se fabrican en Suecia
JD best dozer made
Never had a problem with our loader on a 3010 syndrome range.
That's wonderful then ...but clearly you have no idea what I am talking about
Such a beautiful, reliable and comfortable tractor (and cabin) to be in. Plus it comes pretty cheap when compared to new 8r.
Guy's out of control, lol
how much tractor do ya need for a 70 flat?
70 flat bottom is a pretty good load.... really depends what your doing and type of soil ... here in SW iowa, we do a lot of short loading - and it's nasty clay soil - so a large 4 wheel drive, with good traction ... probably more weight and traction over just horsepower.... We had a 17 yard Ashland (I-175 dolly wheel) had it on case ih steiger 400 - it was a nice match to the tractor..... in the past we tried to pull a cat 80 (flat bottom) with a 9520 deere articulated and it was near enough tractor ..... If the scraper is a direct mount that helps, the weight helps the tractor pull better ..... not sure any of this info helped - but thanks for the question, I have watched your channel, and enjoy your videos, especially the mowing
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling have a 370 Steiger weighing 43000 and a magnum 335 at 33000 pounds. More sand. Have one area I would like to build a damn that’s clay but most I’ll be working in sandy loam leveling old fence lines and feed pens
And thanks for watching my channel. Have changes happening now and once I can I’ll be posting again. I sure miss it
70 flat on auction time tomorrow not sure I can pass up
@tedkahler9738 I think you'll be ok .. and worst case scenario you don't have to fill it all the way up .... I beleive cat offered an extended center bit for those, which made it fill a little easier - although it wouldn't cut super even ..... best of luck! And look forward to new videos sometime!
Are you able to run a single tank, since it has 2 feed lines or do you always have to pull side by sides
Yes you can run just one ... just keep the valve shut off on one of the feeder lines. .. both feeder lines went to a Y that went into the super cooler
FAR superior FoV than the Large Cats, but it looks like Komatsus D85px has the best (on large dozers) Honestly, Cat's interior design (especially that LCD shit where everything's deep in menus) looks dumb. You'd think they'd look at aircraft cockpits to get ideas, as many things warrant dedicated switches. Instead? Cat treats LCD as a means to save money on gauges & switches, & has the WORST human factor Thanks for this video ... for whatever reason it's been hard to find the interiors on these half-million+ machines.
How much power is the 4020 turbo putting out
I would estimate about 110 to 125 pto horsepower
I really enjoyed watching the series of videos on this tractor. Would like to see more if you get a chance. Thank you for keeping it as original as possible.
You got water in them tires
Cost difference? Weight difference?
Almost identical on both
In the process of getting a hiniker cab put on my now mine used to be late fathers 4020 after a full mechanical refurbished and repaint but she’s almost back to factory new 35 grand later
Nothing like pushing dirt!
Old video I know but I appreciate your information. I should have seen it before I bought the planter haha. Can a 1770 with grey wedge box and a brown box be updated to seedstar 4? Without a new complete planter harness.
I don’t think so. I was told seedstar 3hp is the highest version you can get not from the factory. Im building a couple custom planters with deere row units for vegetable growers and information on seedtar is scarce.
@@timblack33 information is very scarce. I never found any concrete information so I abandoned trying use seedstar. I went with Graham electric drives and was very pleased overall.
I really enjoyed this video. I have a soft spot in my heart for these old tractors. I’ve repainted several 4010s and a 4020. My dad had two 4010s , a 4020 power shift, which was one of my favorite tractors. He also had a 3010 which I still have. I also painted a 4010 for a friend once. As the equipment got bigger so did our tractors. My dad ended up selling all of them except for the 3010, I wouldn’t let him sell that one lol ( I later wished we’d kept the 4020😢). Ours were all propane tractors, I would love to have a 4020 diesel, console tractor, but I really would have no use for one other than to have just to have 😂. These tractors were so easy to work on. We did all our own overhauls and everything. I am wanting to build a shop just for restoring these old tractors, for myself and others. I really liked your 3020 with the factory duals, don’t see too many of those.
Mine is set up about the same only a power shift
As a retired grain hauler from the 80s pulling a 40ft Super Hopper behind a K100, back then the Wilson looked noting like the Tempte. It appears to me the Wilson has done a lot to make their trailers look like the Tempte.
That's true... and they sure have changed a lot over the years - both brands are very similar anymore....
Nice thresher ha
Capacity. Jd 780 3400bu/hr max corn. Deere says it will do more, but a power stop at 3400 will have corn touching the bottom of the concave so it has to be forced out the rotor. Speed up the trough augers or make more clearance under concave. Why does Chaffer leveling need to be so difficult? Couldn’t the grain load be mechanical leveled below the concave? Concave and sieve side access. Rethresher machines have terrible access on the right side. I would like a camera looking at the sieves to see what is happening. I think fan speed and other adjustments would be much easier if I could watch what is happening. My neck hurts from looking down all day long. To name a few.
You're wrong about the hydraulics on a synchro range. Had one for many years on a loader.
Not wrong ... you don't understand
That’s way to much scraper for that tractor!
Sure was! Needed a D9 or so ... but it's all we had, and we had to complete the job, so we made do
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling it actually handled it better than I thought! 👌
Awesome trailer.. you wouldn’t have plans of this trailer so I could make one the same would you? I’m in Australia and I would pay you $30 or so for them I’m that keen to build one the same here?
Thank you for the comment ... I don't have any plans for it ...the main beam was 4x8 - which is not heavy enough, so I laminated and bridged it to get the extra strength - that was a mistake - I should have used a 6x12 or 6x14 inch main beam ... tires are 21.5L-16.1 .. tandem rear wheels are from a vandale manure tanker ... the cradles the bales sat on are 4x4 inch box tubing - 9.5 ft length - they needed to be 10 ft long
That thing is excellent. Original paint rules. 20.8 imo
Do you have the wiring harnesses numbers and black box part number for 1790 to run 4640 display
Is there a button or pedal you have to step on to get it in reverse because we can’t get ours in reverse
No .. I am guessing your shifter isn't connecting ... there's an over center link inside of the shifter that drops it into reverse, my guess it's not engaging... it's a common problem with worn shifter linkage
What type of loader is that ? Looking for a loader for my 3020.
If you have a 3020 or 4020 - best loader option will be a 148 john deere
We’re you able to use part numbers out of that book?
the back lights are nice a bright on your tractor displays/screens (speed, RPM, HYD display)... mine are dim and dull. Did you, or do you know if you can remove and replace those with a new, brighter back light?
Put step ups on my 4630, what a difference that made. 42s would really make this tractor awesome, like it made my 4630 !!!
Glad to hear you’re still alive out there! 😉
The Challenger pivot and the deesre pivot could not be more different. The deere is all in one housing and mostly enclosed. In my opinion the deere has a weaker pivot and is susceptible to breaking if the tractor gets 'troughed' between two minor hills.
How much for the D8K
