You just can't beat the older John Deere 4wd's. They were nice looking and we're real workhorses for sure. Thanks Jason for this really nice video.
This was the first deere fwd that was worth owning
@@tysonfrank2105 8630 Kinzie conversion would be just as good, a Steiger would be better.
@@kolewiebensohn cough Versatile cough 🤔😂😂😂😂
@@tysonfrank2105 lol, steiger or Case in my book, or Massey Ferguson 4wds they had a 3sp powershift like the cases
@@kolewiebensohn I have several case tractors.. I really like the old ones
Nice machine, I have his replacement 8970 with the N14 on Triples
I feel like the 512 is as close as you can get to a wishek without spending the money.
Was wondering why do they use small tillage equipment in the northern states
Because it would take 1200hp to pull a 40’ version of that tool.
mikemerrill175 there’s only one, and no guarantee that it could do that
Because it’s running deep.
Does the 8960 use DEF? Looky there no smoke!!😜👌👌🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was running an 8970 in Arthur Illinois this past weekend and loved it
look at those fields. While I wallow around in my muddy, rocky, steep little hills that I call fields, this is what I dream of at night. Very nice video
How steep?
I run the bigger brother 8970 for a friend in SW MN. I love running it. N14 Cummins always ready and willing!!
We’ve still got an 8960 here in western Kentucky. I wanna say it’s a 1992 model. We’re second owners. Ours has the full power shift transmission. It was one of our primary tillage tractors for years, but we’ve lessened it’s work load back to just pulling a 17 shank DMI anhydrous applicator in the spring. We don’t have that black cover or whatever that is between the rear fenders though.
Looks good enough to drill to me. I mean you might do another run. Don't want to break up the roots too much. We can over do it with the machinery.
Love it, just love the job you do! An 8960 was the first 4WD I operated performing fall tillage with a DMI Eclo-Tiger ripper.
I was ripping with a John Deere 8870 and a Brent CPC 2000 7 shank ripper this fall until the axle broke on the ripper and then got rained out when it got fixed
Nice combo. Sorry to hear about the break down.
Can I get some like for an 800 versatile?? Lol 😂😂😂😂 not near as nice as this thing but shes paid for
My oldest is a D145 with a 12 valve Cummins. Still working!
Can’t wait till it comes out in farmin sim
😁👍👍
What’s the story with Deere not using their own engines in these tractors?
The company on Sim of its larger tractors over the years has outsource the engine Simply because they did not produce something themselves to offer the horsepower they were looking for
Local farmer has a 8970.30 years ago this Deere's biggest tractor.Today it would be the smallest one-9370R
If I ever got the chance to buy a big articulated tractor, one of these or a 8970 would be my first choice. I'd love to collect a few tractors but I doubt I'll ever be able to get my hands on one of these. They are just too big and I think I'd have a hard time getting one to Ireland lol. I'm set on getting a 4955/60 tho. Gonna be a pair with my wee 3040
The Soundgard II 4wds are cool. My favorite is the 8770. I have always wanted to own a tractor and hoped maybe to own an Oliver 1755 or IH 706 some day. Then one day I ended up with a John Deere 8850 4wd 😁. The 4wds can be bought in many cases for much less than the FWA models. An 8960 in my home town sold for $30,000 last year. The 4955s are bringing $50-$60,000. Maybe an 8960 on single tires would work in Ireland?
My 8850 gas row crop style dual tires. When I got I kinda thought bigger flotation duals would make it look extra tough. The first time I drive it on a two lane road the tires it had felt plenty big 😁
@@bigtractorpower yea. Sg2 JDS are my favourite. Somthing about the 8970 really just appeals to me. I've seen on Facebook the big 4wds do seem to be alot cheeper which surprised me. A 8960 would be cool to own just in a collection but it just wouldn't be practice whatsoever for me in actual use. Don't have a single job on our farms that would use over 150 horsepower. A 8960 would be super overkill and it probably wouldn't fit on our roads. Plus if I was to buy one they would be hard to find. But they are cool. But 4960s are my favourite tractor. I've seen some selling pretty cheep and I'd love to restore one. Plus 220 horsepower is pretty reasonable. In Ireland most tractors are around 150-200 horse. I've seen a few 300s tho. A 4960 would actually be pretty reasonable. Plus I just love how they look. It would be awesome to have one and my 3040. I think it would be a cool pair of big and little
I drove one of these on a cotton farm in Australia in 1991
I have been thinking of buying a 8960 or 8970. Our biggest tillage tractor is an 8650 and it would be nice to have some more ponies. We pull a 5 shank 512 ripper and a 40 foot dmi field cultivator and our clay hills in south central minnesota can really put the 8650 to work. We also run a 7520 on a 230 jd disk and 11 knife anhydrous bar.
My son uses an 8960 for his big horse primarily pulling a Great Plains 30 ft Turbo - Till and and a anhydrous toolbar ! Had some hydraulic issues but lots of power , that Cummins is tuned to 400 horse !
How many horses you got on that little bugger there little feller? She's a plowin'.
The farm I work for has a 8570 with a degalman blade stuck on the front. We use it for our corn pile, disking, and to pull a rock boat. We call it the dinosaur because its the oldest tractor on the farm and still runs excellent. I drove it all summer and its easily my favorite tractor.
Made from 1995-2012 for the ripper, wow that's quite awhile. Nice tractor, cool seeing it in action.
This was one of the first John Deere Ag tractors that did not have a John Deere engine. Many customers were not real thrilled with it.
Probably my favorite four-wheel drive John Deere tractor
Great old girl.brings back great memories if my days working in the farm running the bug four wheelers like this one and smaller ones.
Hard to believe that tractor is around 30 years old. Still looks good. Thanks for posting!
Great Vlog, Another example of Green Iron doing the job, well done, thanks
Man would I like to play with that beautiful tractor
Thanks for liking my comment
Thank you for watching.
This tractor has some power👍😁 great to see a green classic😉👍
Another great video , wow the power shift was a bit of a price step
Was the best tractor we ever had. my dad bought brand new
Love to see a old school tractor out there getting it done. 🚜🚜👍👍
I'm a red guy but always liked these
Dont see to many of those around up here in northern ny
Loving the older equipment on your channel lately. That Turbo ll air cleaner is retro. Kinda coo to see one on a tractor out in the field.
They’re more popular than you think
Nice john deer Jason! Nice ride
Do you film in Arkansas
Like 👏👏👏👍👍💪💪💪🚜🚜🚜🇧🇷
Our 8960 looks way different!
What does yours look like?
Why not a wide ripper? Is it so they can go deeper and faster?
Yes, each piece of equipment has a HP/Foot rating. You need to consider multiple variables:field conditions vary from year to year, depth you’re tilling, type of tillage etc...you may be able to pull a larger piece of equipment one year, then the next year the conditions are poor and you struggle to get tillage done.
Magnifique vidéo 👍😉
One of best looking JD 4wd's among with 8850 and 7520 😎
👍👍. I just filmed an 8850. Stay tuned for that video.
@@bigtractorpower that must see, but i watch all of your great videos, thanks for sharing them 😀
Is the 8960 a Cummins engine ? Thanks
Yes. It has a 14L. I mention the engine in the specification portion of the video.
Great video.
👋thanks 👍
Really nice 👍
Year of construction of this tractor?
1972
First
👍👍
👍👍👍
On my farm we had a 8960. And it eventually caught on fire and it burned the whole thing up
@Smush Smush it was very shocking
How??
That is unfortunate.
@@tysonfrank2105 there was a oil leak. And the oil touch a hot surface on tractor and it started flames
@@matthewtaliaferro4902 I'm sorry to hear that :( my 800 versatile caught the brakes on fire this year
Why do they always seem to till at a slight diagonal to existing rows?
It cuts the ground up better that way
I was wondering the same thing. Is tilling at a slight angle to existing rows better than tilling at ninety degrees to the existing rows?
@@mechanicalmarvel3136 it works the ground up way better at an angle like that
Going at an angle helps level out the ground after tillage
🙋👍🇺🇾👋👋👋
Hey can u make a video on the John Deere 4020 I have one that is very rare if u want to hear about it tell me
What model 4020 do you have? I just filmed a wheat land 4020 Sunday. Great tractors.
I have a 1969 rowcrop that has hydralic controls on the right side of the seat and air intake is in the leftside panel
Good old 14 litre Cummins power there.
That’s a sweet 4wd we have one 4wd and the rest front wheel assist
The 8960 is a nice tractor.
Nothing runs like a Deere. If it ain't green... It ain't mean
