    Very nice pull with the 520. Sounds and looks good. The 730 was a nice touch too. Dad used to pull the 730 quite a bit. It usually placed in the 12,000 lb class. Always enjoyed listening to the 2 cylinders lug.

      They are some great old tractors. My dad use to have a 720 and he wished he never sold it. A 720 would look real nice sitting next to the 520

    I always enjoy seeing the old 2 cylinder John Deere's! Brings back memories to my teenage years as I learned on the older John Deere tractors! (A,B and a G) Thanks Mike 😎👍

    that brings back a few memories . years ago we farmed with two JD As and a 720. my dad is almost 90 and he still uses the 720 for his garden.those were tuff old tractors.

    I love the antique tractor pulls. We pulled a 51 John Deere R. It lugged very well later we pulled Oliver 88's . I really miss showing cattle at the fair for the FFA. It will be an experience the kids will remember forever. Hope they earn lots of ribbons.
