• JOHN DEERE 50 Series T...
What a change for our farm switching from a 4620 to a 4450. One of the many things I recall is how awesome that cab was picking corn after the frost came. No more warming my hands on the muffler of that open station 4620 during a Wisconsin winter trying to harvest the corn on our bottom land.
I love my 8650!!!! The 50 series are by far my favorite tractors ever built!!
the only thing missing from this video is the ability to smell the best smell on earth, a pre emission american made tractor
A pre emission diesel anything.
@@Vickvineager pppppppp
A big ol American diesel parked in an old tobacco barn 🥰 I was only like six years old but ,, I remember 💯, thought I'd smelled heaven 😝✌️
Wow 40 years already!
What's crazy is I still think of them as almost new. I'm getting old.
Me, too!
Exactly my problem too. I can't keep up with the new ranges.
Going to the 15 speed powershift from the 8 speed was also a pretty big plus for this series
As the owner of an 8 speed, heck yes. Ive driven a 15, its so much smoother than mine
Well done to BigTractorPower ! 12 years and still going
Always enjoy watching the old JD iron. My favorites are the 4440, 4755. Excellent video Jason. Please keep'em coming. Happy anniversary. Been watching for at least 10 years!!
Me too! We run quite a few older Deere’s, a 4755 is one of them...& it’s my favorite outta of ours. Neat hearing someone else saying it’s their favorite too.
I've always wanted a 4755 or 60. I like them because you could still get them with the quad range transmission. You couldn't get them in the 48 or 49s. Great tractors!
@@johngreer8101 I never knew that!
The 50 series marked an era...
I worked for a Deere dealer when they were released. First off, I was in the brand new "Waterloo Tractor Works" on E. Donald Street in February 1982 and watched the 8450, 8650, and 8850 roll off the assembly line. I have pictures that I took myself. The John Deere 40 series Row-Crops were still being produced that same day. In September 1982, I was able to drive BOTH brand new 4640-8 speed Powershift and a 4650-15 speed powershift, running together that day, both equipped with a John Deere 4600 on-land rollover plows. They both ran together in same furrow. What a comparison. Also drove a brand new 4450 with the 230 disk. I was able to drive the brand new 8650 later on that Fall. Only "50" series that I haven't driven: 4050, 8450, and 8850.
Funny how a clean low hour 50 series fwa will bring close to new price these days, these tractors an the 20 series combines are what set the standards in the 80's and well into the 90's
Both the 50 series tractors and Titan combines were a great part of the 80’s. I am always looking for them to film.
I like the 4850 tractor. It looks like how a tractor should look like
I agree. One of the greats.
My sister still has the 4050 MFD dad bought new in the 80s. Along with newer JDs. Still my favorite to run on the farm, only one I can truly understand after being gone for 30 years!
After the 2nd time our 8640 blew the motor the dealership gave us an 8850 to finish the spring, it was like driving a tank, nothing we had could slow it down. They weren't the biggest tractor on the market but was the biggest I had drove at the time
Man that is so cool Jason that you’ve been on TH-cam for 12 years, with that many videos, that many subscribers & had that amount of time watched on your videos. You are a master of your craft. Keep churning out these amazing videos.
Thank you for watching. It is fun sharing all these farm machines.
You definitely got to love the sound of a straight pipe on a John Deere. Brings back a lot of memories That's all my father would run with straight pipes on Are John deeres
4450 and the 8650 my favorite 4450 4455 are pretty dominant big tractors around here along with 7810s
awesome. loved anything in Soundgard 50-60 series, especially FWD, the last real Iron Horses before it all went to software and chips Happy Anniversary, keep up those cool John Deere vids
Those are some nice classic tractors, I had a 2040, & a 2350 great tractors
Congratulations BigTractorPower keep up the great content
Excellent video! The 50/55/60 series RC tractors were such great looking machines. Congrats on the 12 years on YT. This is the best farm equipment dedicated channel on YT.
The 1980’s and 1990’s saw some great John Deere tractors. All modern day classics. Thank you for being a long time viewer. You are one of the top BTP viewers and commentators. It is appreciated.
Great job Jason ! Happy anniversary ! Thanks always !
The 8650 is best tractor ever made... period!
Caseih 9000 series Steigers are my faves .
Said no one ever, except for you. If that was the case, there wouldn’t have been Kinze conversions on them😂😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations on the 12 years. I am trying to watch all of your videos. I enjoyed the video. Looking forward to the next 12 years.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and Thank You for so many great videos! !!!
Thank you. It has been a fun 12 years of filming tractors.
@@bigtractorpower Please continue having fun for many years to come 😉
Better than watching most of the junk on tv. Keep em coming.
Thank you. It’s great be able to share this field work.
Must say thankyou as they are still my favourites absolutely awesome to see well done
Great Video, I'm a Blue (Ford) fan, but I love watching these big green machines, Thanks for sharing
I like blue too. I filmed a TW30 this spring. Stay tuned for that great Ford.
I really like running my bosses John Deere 7800 that they own to move bales with. Before I worked for them, they used to have 2 John Deere 4450 2WD tractors, but they lost their old 4450 in a fire. They bought a 7800 to replace that 4450. The other 4450 they have is used to pull a Kuhn Knight mixing wagon to mix feed for dairy cows.
Great video! I really enjoy your "series" videos, and not just the green ones. I do really like the 4850's you showed. Happy 12th Anniversary! Thanks for all videos! I too would like to thank all the Farmers that allow you to video them. Be pretty empty content without them! Keep at it Jason!!
Always like it when you put these classic videos together Jason; you do such a good job with not only the videography, but narration as well. Your 8850 looks beautiful and my other favorite on here is the 8650 pulling the air drill. I have more respect for farmers who are trying to do a good job with well-kept older tractors & equipment than I do the big guys who have all new and seem to want for nothing...maybe it’s bc I am the smaller guy with older well-kept equipment & tractors trying to make it.
Another great video Jason! Thx buddy.
jd4240 2wd. Love it. Will never kill it or sell it. I dream of owning a 4850 2wd someday. Hands down this is the best tractor channel. I put it on the tv for the kids and me to watch. Thanks jason
Congratulations, Jason!
Amazing tractor 👏👍😁🚜
Thank you for watching.
50 series beasts 💪🏻
Great 4wds.
Great video, I love these.
It’s beautiful to see them after all those years still working away in the field and congratulations Jason we appreciate all your hard work that you’ve done so we can watch all these beautiful Tractors and combines
So nice 👍🏻😊
Great vídeo Jason.
I'll always be a bigger fan of the 20 series Deeres, but the 50 would definitely be in tight competition for a used machine if I were in the market. Classic, proven, power. No emissions and electronic garbage. Has AC and heat and MFWD. It's the ideal machine. My favorite has gotta be the 8850, daddy of them all. What can I say, I love the sound of V8 mechanical diesels.
You're a little ahead of yourself ainchee
Love these tractors I have 4 of them in my farm toy collection. I have a tractor with no model number so I pretend and let's say it's a 4850 and I have a 8450 and 8850(2 of them). Also 2 real 4850's on the family farm. My 3 John Deere 50 series is John Deere 4850 , 8450 ,and the monster legend 8850. Also you came a long way keep them coming.
Older deeres in the field is always great to see👍😉 that are some nice looking machines😁👍
Here in UK we had the 50 series but having smaller farms we found the
2850
3050
3350
3650
To be the most common esp on the west side of the uk.
My personal favourite was the 3650, 116hp but opened up to provide 130 hp.
This was just about the last generation of lever over linkage type tractors. Before all electric came in. I know a farmer who bought a 3650 in 85 and its still going strong..From new it had 3 oil changes per year i guess thats one reason why its still going strong over 11,000 hours..
Very nice. The 3650 is a good tractor. I would like to film some of the 2050 and 3050 tractors.
Congratulations!
Happy anniversary
Great channel
Thank you. It is fun sharing all these farm machines.
Bel video. bravo. bei mezzi.
🚜🚜🚜 Jason, thank you for starting this channel.. It's easy sitting in my chair enjoying the info, but I know you took time contacting farmers, driving, setting up your cameras & then editing..
old man just picked up a 1050 with front wheel assist. 1st diesel engine on the farm.
Very cool. I have always liked the Yanmar built 50 series.
8850 JDs greatest rig🤠raw look of power.
We've got a 4850 thats an absolutely amazing machine!! More power than we need but works effortlessly!! These are the best tractors that John Deere made IMO!!
Happy 12th Anniversary! Congratulations
Nice video,4050 was offered with 2 different engines first na 466 then later a 559 turbo
I hope to find a 4050 to film. I featured a 4055 this spring.
@@bigtractorpower cool I’ll have to go back and look to see if I watched it
Enjoy your videos
Thank you for watching.
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary on your channel, have enjoyed watching for the last several years and hope to continue to do so.
Thank you. Many more videos on the way.
Congratulations on 12 years!!!
Thank you for watching. It has been fun filming and sharing all these farm machines.
Good video.
Thank you for watching.
great video!
On my bucket list is to own an '84 8850, and to pilot one of those big boogers.
They are a nice tractor. The 8850 in this video is mine. It is a 1982 model.
@@bigtractorpower Yup, and you have that big red that smokes that 8850 out the water. Ya gotta get an anteater 88 series IH in the collection.
Congrats on 12 years, your "Big Tractor Voice" makes the video.
Great works!
Love the video Jason!!!!! Love them old JD's working!!! We had a 4850 4x4!!! Loved it!!!!
Congratulations. An yes we have a 2350 mfwd w/ loader & a 4250 mfwd cab an pwr shift
I drove a 4850 and we put 5 inch straight pipe on it .MFWD
Keep up the good work I drove an 8650 one of the last one sold in the Milford Delaware area it replaced an 8630
Very cool. The 8650 is a solid tractor. I grew up by a farm that had an 8630, 8640 and an 8650. They had the 8650 until three years ago when a semi truck it it in the road. It was replaced by a 9570R.
Was intresting to see 4250 pulling a chopper wagon
It is a stout tractor.
@@bigtractorpower oh yea it is.....
Hello!
We got 2 8350s an 84 and an 85
Congrats, this is one of my favorite channels 🤠🤠
Thank you for watching Nick. It is fun making these videos.
Yeah i like these videos but im not watching 2 15 second unskipable ads
An 8850 was referred to as Mack Superliner of the Paddock,s/Fields
It was a big tractor in its day. I like the Super Line 👍👍
Work for a dealership from 85 to 89 50 series rules!! Forgot about the 8850 never anything that big around here...
Lot of 42 44 two wheel models every where around here
The 50 series really defined the 80’s. The 4450 is a long lasting tractor. I would like to find a 4450 FWA to film.
We had 2 8650 tractors and a 4650. One of the 8650s had 3 engines put into it in like 10 years. Other than that great tractors
Nice to have 650s in both sizes. What jobs did they do on the farm.
@@bigtractorpower Im not sure exactly what all they did, they were gone before I could really remember them. I know the 8650s did tillage and pulled the grain cart from time to time. The 4650 planted corn in 80s and they all probably hauled manure at one point
👌
👍
We still have 2 4850
Very nice. Cool tractors to have.
The 8450,8650,8850 came in 1981.What was the price of a 8450?
👍👍👍👏👏👏🚜🚜🚜👌👌🇧🇷
Great video..
we had a 4250 mfwd and a 4850 mfwd
Very nice. Both great tractors.
Honest question. Why did tractor manufacturers get away from V engines? AGCO is the only manufacturer IM AWARE OF that still uses a V engine. I know at one time there were quite a few manufacturers that were using them
The V8 engines just did not hood up. The failed in a few thousand hours in many cases. For Deere it is the way it is mounted on the frame. A vibration would occur and over time break the engine. The 8850 is this video is mine. It runs great.
When JD went from the 50 series ,it went back to 6 cylinders, a waste imo,The 8850 was more of an understressed design. The engine cradle is what let them down. Had 2 8850,s on farm 24000hrs out of 1 and 18000 hts out of the other ,No rebuilds!!
