We had up till this year a 4440 (still have that). And a 2300 kinze this year picked up more ground so we upgraded our 2300 to a 1770 ccs with precision tech. And now our tillage tractor (7200R) is going to be doing tillage and planting well it currently is as we speak as it’s April
Love the sound of the Iron Horses, they were, and still are the best Horses JD made. I had the 4040, 4240 & the 4440 4WD for many years - though still run the 4040. They are easy to ride, easy to maintain, easy to work with & MOST reliable. Waiting to see more on Iron Horses in the future.
Equipment thats been paid for adds greatly to bottom line profit in running a profitable operation. Nice JD machinery. Enjoyed on a Memorial Day 2019 🚜👍
I run a 4640 planting using a Star fire 3000 receiver on SF1 and a 2630 monitor hooked to an AT 300 on the steering column. Also use a precision 20/20 monitor and my IPad using Climate with delta force and electric V Drive vacuum units and 2 cameras on the planter with a monitor in the cab. The tractor is 41 years old and I’m 68! Was watching Millennial Farmer while planting beans the other day!
Man it's a little hard for me to here that a 4840 is a classic I'm not sure what that makes me but I don't think it's classic hahaha! Really like the"classics" especially when they are still serving their intended purpose ! Thanks for the videos!!
I remember when these were brand new B.T.P.,I still have the sales catalog for the then new"40-series"John Deere tractors. I think it's a nice combination of tomorrow and yesterday seeing this machine equipped with"Green Star",pretty nice.
We run a jd 4640 it’s my favourite tractor on our farm all it does now is run a 20 foot 1590 grain drill but it’s still a awesome rig but man that 4840 is a really cool rig we have a 4850 on our farm great tractor also
We ran that exact gps setup on our old 4960 for a year back in 2012 and loved it. The next year we upgraded to a 8130 and went from sf1 to rtk and took over planting crops as we had to contract it out before we upgraded the tractor. The only difference we had a separate switch that we tied into the system that was used to activate it instead of the way they do it in the video
@@gardenguy6 we didn’t. That was done manually or not at all from what I remember though I do remember we didn’t get it to map with the hydraulics or 3 pt.
I can agree that driving old tractors is cool over basic modern tractors especially the way they ride over rough fields. Those JD cabs I still find weird to get n out but like control leavers.
I absolutely LOVE the sound of a 466T!!! There is nothing else quite like it. It's too bad they are so tall and heavy. I'd love to have one in a pickup. Thanks for the video!
very cool to see this tractor here.. I used a 4230 every day as a kid, as well as a 2510 and a 4020 .. I love those era tractors.. I use a White 2-70 now as well.. awesome tractors!! Keep these vids coming!
That is such a classic iconic look for John Deere that tractor that’s awesome to see that working in the field and if that’s still the original owner medevac I ever get a good bang for buck out of that deal
I messed that one up. I proof these videos several times before posting but I just did not hear that mistake. The 4440 is one of my all time favorite tractors.
Loves me some classic iron, but man the noise! You know you’ve done a full day in the cab of one of those old girls. I bet that rig has paid for itself ten times over, makes it all worth it
Very nice viedo BTP!! Love the 40 series tractors. With the wet spring we put our 4440 on the 90’ sprayer - have Ag leader Ontrac3 for auto steer, also has auto swath, and auto boom leveling unlocks on the monitor. 40 year old tractor with modern spraying technology. First time in 6-7 years the old 4440 has had a true field job!! Keep posting vids of the “classics” running!!
I think you mis-spoke a little bit saying the 4440 was 90 HP. In fact, the 4040 was 90 HP, and was the last hurrah of the 404 engine. The 4240 was a 110 HP Naturally Aspirated 466 The 4440 was 130 HP 466 Turbo The 4640 was 150 HP 466 Turbo, intercooled The 4840 was 180 HP turbo, intercooled. The 4840 took the place of the 6030 in the high horsepower row crop tractor market, and is part of the reason why the 6030 was rated at 175 HP instead of the 200+ HP it actually produced. Deere rated it at 175 so that the 4840 would look more appealing to Farmers looking to upgrade, even though the 6030 used a turbocharged intercooled 531 as opposed to the 4840's turbocharged intercooled 466.
You are correct. It took 6 takes to get the lines about the Iron Horse series to sound the way I wanted. I said 4040 5 times but did not hear that I said 4440 on the last take.
You had one mistake in the narration Jason. The 90 HP tractor was the 4040, not the 4440. A lot of 4's to say. I know you know the right order i just wanted to let you know of the error. The 4440 was 130 hp if i recall. The farm i worked for when i was a teenager had a fleet of 40 series Deeres. 4040, 3 x 4440's, 2 x 4640's and a 4840. They got one of the last 4840's ever made and it had a 15 speed powershift.
Well darn. It took about 6 times recording that line to get it where I wanted it. I missed that I said 4440 instead of 4040. Sometimes I repeat the same line so many times I don’t here a slip up like this one.
it was funny when he dumped the clutch right in the roughest part of the feild. it always seems like you go either are going to slow or to fast over rough spots
Young driver.In the period of 1978-79 Deere was 1 of 4 manufacturers making a 180 PTO tractor along with Allis Chalmers 7080,Case 1570/2590 & White 2-180.Only the MF 2805 has more hp
Reply to Brad not Landa Wrong my friend. Organic just means that you can't/don't use Petro poisons or fertilizer. Organic growers were fertilizing with added natural minerals decades before "conventional" farmers did so. We use organic manures, aerobic compost teas to inoculate the soil probiotics, compost, compost teas, etc.
I am in my seventies now, I grew up on "organic" foods because there was no other kind, having the oportunity to be judge of organic and today's GMOs, I'll take today's GMOS every time!! Reason? Nutritional superiority and unparalleled quality!! Ron
There are at least 25 SYNTHETIC pesticides approved for organic farming. Maybe THIS farm doesn't use any, but don't fool yourself, organic uses more applications at much higher doses of less effective pesticides and then markets their product as healthier.
@@ktrocknerd One reason I don't support organic in general. The poisons are supposed to be less persistent which would theoretically a less toxic food, but the organic growers I know don't use them anyway. Additionally, the Big Ag people and government are breaking the law and raping organic standards. Hell, in Texas a couple years ago, industry wanted some things loosened up and the chairman refused to go along. So they LITERALLY got police to forcibly remove him, put in a temporary illegal chairperson... They also, by law MUST place real farmers in some specific positions but have corporate CFOs in those slots... If you want tybest food, grow it yourself, no poisons at all, and use a permaculture template to always increase your fertility and nutrition.
@@loisgustafson4522 It must hurt to be SOwrong, lol. The GMOs aren't nutritionally superior. Even the FDA/USDA say golden rice is a bust. GMO promised saline resistance and failed. Normal seed development succeeded. GMO promised drought resistance and failed. Normal seed development succeeded. GMO promised increased yields. Not happening. The high yields come from extremely intense, timed, fertilization and poisoning. GMO promised medicine in food. IDIOCY!!! Oh - Uncle Joe died at Thanksgiving because nobody knew the cranberries had drugs that caused a fatal reaction to his heart meds. The first GMO in the US (1989) was an l-tryptophan supplement that killed over 120 Americans from eiosinophilic myalgia syndrome. Permanently screwed up the CNS systems of about 1,000 people, temp CNS damage to about 10,000. Less than 10 yes ago a GMO soil bacteria was engineered that came within about 3 weeks of killing the planet. Klebsiella Plantigo was made to make alcohol. That KILLS ROOTS/PLANTS. Klebsiella grows INSIDE roots. It is found in virtually all planetary soils where plants grow. When released, (the 3 weeks) the genetic contamination of natural Klebsiella would be inevitable. All the plants on the planet would die. The study was done in Oregon and was not released because EVERY TEST PLANT IN GMO KLEBSIELLA CULTURE DIED whereas no control plants died.
The IH 06/56 wheatlands were the first IH’s with headlights. The Oliver 55 series introduced headlights in 1969. I was just talking in general over all terms in the video as Case, Ford, Allis-Chalmers and Massey did not really offer headlights until the late 70’s to the late 80’s.
Hey Jason, as always, I loved the video! When you do older tractors, would you mind informing us a little bit more about the previous and future series? Like what did the 4840 replace and what replaced the 4840? Thanks again, keep up the amazing work... still waiting for you to make your way to eastern Iowa to catch our operation :)
Thank you for the invite. I hope to make it your way some time. I very much would like to talk more about the history of the series showing the tractors before and after the one being featured my major issue on that is I don’t have a 6030 or a 4850 filmed right now so just wasn’t possible with this tractor hopefully that can be corrected in the future.
@@bigtractorpower Not a problem! And I was just thinking of some more information that I would love to know! You did a great job explaining everything about it, just thinking of a few things that I would like to know!
Hopefully over time as I locate more tractors I can fill in the gaps. I have a list of tractors I want to find. It’s just not always easy locating them to film.
I love all farming equipment, but especially this type, I love the vintage tractors as I was raised around them, do you have anything on case 930, Massey Ferguson 180, or Minneapolis Moline 602 those are the ones my dad owned
You are mistaken in saying that organic crops do not rely on pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers to grow, they simply rely on other chemicals to do that than traditional farming. And yes I said "chemicals" because everything is a chemical. There is a long list of chemicals that can be used on organic crops and still meet the guidelines for whatever labeling they seek.
The night time shot was basically notill. The day time footage was after two tillage passes. See the tillage video in this field at m.th-cam.com/video/sZRA6yxh-xs/w-d-xo.html
Just have to say, it's hard to believe that s 40 years old tractor. Always liked the look of sg-cab Deeres. That's shame those are pretty rare in here Finland, because those were too big and expensive when new, but sometimes you can see American deere. Most of that age john deeres are German made 1640-3040. (or 50-series same size models later)
@@bigtractorpowerFrom 5-series models to 8r-series, don't know about 8rt-series, but i think you can order 8rt or even 9r/rt/rx If you want or need, but i think here isn't any of those models. I personally have seen only two articulated 4wd Deeres in Finland, both were 8440 or 8640 model, i know there is few more 4wd's, 30, 40 and 50 series. I don't know is here any 60-, 70-, 9000, 9020, 9030 or 9r-series 4wd articulated or tracked tractor. I'm pretty sure you CAN'T find all 30, 40, 50, 55 or 60 series 2wd/fwa models from Finland, some models of those series are missing here. In Sweden is much more American Deeres, both new and old models. I have readed from somewhere that those JD (as well as other brands) cabs with one door was illegal in Finland at 70's because there isn't emergency exit on it. I'm not sure, but i think they have to modified cabs to have 2 Doors on those days. Today it isn't problem, because many tractors have only one door and maby regulations are different today. I have also seen couple 8000t and 8010t models here. Hope you understand my bad english 😁
Lol he says he likes running classic equipment... Hahaha that's only because he hasn't had a chance to run an R series yet. I know there is no question in my mind what tractor I'm hooking up with when I head to the field for a long day there is just no comparison auto steer or not... Don't get me wrong I still like our 4440 I grew up inside that tractor! and I'll use it for little jobs but my days off sitting 15 hours in it are OVER! The new tractors are just so much more spacious and comfortable. Hell our new s670 has a refrigerator (I know that's nothing new) and heated and ventilated leather seats, XM radio backup and unload cameras all I'm missing is a microwave! Haha
Alex trust me he has driven the newest of the new 2019 machines up to 620 hp. He is out running an S790 on the family farm right now cutting wheat. The farm runs for 8 S790s for wheat and 5 for corn and 6 for soybeans. If you watch my 2018 video of the wheat harvest you will see 7 S790s cutting wheat in a row towards the end of the video I climb up in the cab of one and out operator of the 4840 is behind the wheel of the S790. See the video at m.th-cam.com/video/iPOHV2F0UpI/w-d-xo.html
I had been told by more than one person that a 40 series does not have the hydraulic capacity to run a 16 row vac yet they are in this video. I did not see a pto driven auxiliary pump. Am I missing something?
They should have no problem pulling a 7200. A farm in the town I grew up in upgraded from a 7000 12 row to a 7200 12 row in 1992. That farm uses a 1066 to pull the 7200. Now a new 1775NT 5e, a 1790 or 1795 Deere planter requires a bunch of hydraulics and a 40 series would not be a good match for those.
@@bigtractorpower yes we use a 40 series on a 7200 12 row vac and it's more than enough but a 12 row has one fan. The 16 row goes to 2 fans hence the much bigger requirement. I was just curious how it worked for these guys.
must be planting in 4th gear. We were wondering if you could fit in that cab. lol Also our 4840 has a thumb release to get out of the cab instead of that lever. The only gps in ours is a light bar. set your AB and go at it. We pull a kinze 16/31 push pull and it pulls it just fine except going up a steep hill on freshly cut wheat. It wants to spin because of how slippery the straw is.
The Iron Horse series of John Deere is probably the greatest tractors ever made.
👍
My grandad and uncle had numerous Iron Horse tractors. But I'm a big fan of the 7800 series and 8000 series
Good video. I use a 4440 pulling a 1760 planter. This year makes 39 crops that tractor has planted for me. No satellite--markers only.
We had up till this year a 4440 (still have that). And a 2300 kinze this year picked up more ground so we upgraded our 2300 to a 1770 ccs with precision tech. And now our tillage tractor (7200R) is going to be doing tillage and planting well it currently is as we speak as it’s April
4630 with a 1760 conservation and we love both we've used them the last 5 years
We are running the same setup! Love seeing old iron still doing work.
Very nice. 👍
Love the sound of the Iron Horses, they were, and still are the best Horses JD made. I had the 4040, 4240 & the 4440 4WD for many years - though still run the 4040. They are easy to ride, easy to maintain, easy to work with & MOST reliable.
Waiting to see more on Iron Horses in the future.
Barak Tzfanya hipper the
That’s nice how Deere Recognizes the older tractors still have power left in them, that’s what they were made for anyway
I have a 4840 and love it! It’s nice to see good videos on these older units
Very cool. What jobs do you do with your 4840?
bigtractorpower It’s my only tractor - planting corn/beans, pulling sprayer, 20’ mower, etc
That’s neat. If you are going to have one tractor a 4840 is an impressive one to have.
It's great seeing younger farmers operating equipment that's older than they are.
👍 a son working with his dad.
Equipment thats been paid for adds greatly to bottom line profit in running a profitable operation. Nice JD machinery. Enjoyed on a Memorial Day 2019 🚜👍
I run a 4640 planting using a Star fire 3000 receiver on SF1 and a 2630 monitor hooked to an AT 300 on the steering column. Also use a precision 20/20 monitor and my IPad using Climate with delta force and electric V Drive vacuum units and 2 cameras on the planter with a monitor in the cab. The tractor is 41 years old and I’m 68! Was watching Millennial Farmer while planting beans the other day!
love that sound of the John Deere
👍👍
Made my day to see my favorite tractor of all time out there right on working away
Neat to see the new tech on the older stuff. We had autosteer on our 7030 7040 & 7060 back when they were the workhorses.
Just awesome, for some reason big vintage two wheel drive tractors looks so good for me, that JD is a masterpiece, thanks for the video
They sure stand out.
@@bigtractorpower u hi

I agree. I was born two years before the 4840 was introduced. I remember seeing the 40 series new on my local John Deere dealers lot.

I think it's a nice combination of tomorrow and yesterday seeing this machine equipped with"Green Star",pretty nice.
Brilliant. Love seeing shots inside these. Reminds me of being with my dad as a kid on his 4230 here in the UK. THANKYOU.
grew up on our farm in the 1970s and 80's, driving the 4840, was an awesome tractor, of course we did everything manually
One solid tractor.
We run a jd 4640 it’s my favourite tractor on our farm all it does now is run a 20 foot 1590 grain drill but it’s still a awesome rig but man that 4840 is a really cool rig we have a 4850 on our farm great tractor also

Hey you all looking good with that big planner I like that I'm from Mississippi I am a farmer myself
The 4840 was top of the line from. 78-82. Still a very good tractor.
Fantastic video sir! I love the sound and Tractor! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching.
My dad used to use a 4840 when I was a kid, thanks for the memories. Great video!
👍 very cool. What implements did your dad use with his 4840?
He used it on a John Deere 37 foot cultivator and it was used on a New Holland forage harvester. It was the largest tractor they had
That’s cool. Was it a New Holland 1600? My neighbor had a 1600. They were an impressive chopper.
I believe it was, but I can’t be sure. I think it was the biggest pull type ones they had (this was mid 80’s)
The 1600 was the biggest in the 80’s. In fact it is the biggest pull type ever built. I hope to find one still running to film some day.
That is a blast from the past.come out new in my days just starting out on the farm
Awesome glad to see an older tractor vid.
I like finding the classics to share.
I absolutely LOVE the sound of a 466T!!! There is nothing else quite like it. It's too bad they are so tall and heavy. I'd love to have one in a pickup. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching.
40 years old, LOL....I'm getting old. I was lucky just to drive a 5020 when I was 13 from one farm to another in 73.
Very cool. I hope to catch a 5020 working some time to film.
Thanks I enjoy these videos more than the others.

You have had some nice tractors. I like those silver tractors too. A farm near me growing up had a 4650, 4440, 2940, 2-105 and 4020.

Thats a nice planting rig 👍
👍👍
I've put several hours in the seat of one of them tractors I love that tractor
👍
At 6 minutes btp you state that a 4440 was 90 PTO hp, however it was 130. The 4040 would have been closer to 90. Keep putting out great content.
I messed that one up. I proof these videos several times before posting but I just did not hear that mistake. The 4440 is one of my all time favorite tractors.
Lovit great vid the 8r s will never get close to 40 years first thing that will go is the hood that cost the same as a iron horse tractor😂
Loves me some classic iron, but man the noise! You know you’ve done a full day in the cab of one of those old girls. I bet that rig has paid for itself ten times over, makes it all worth it
I don’t think the noise is too bad my camera may sound louder because it’s be the air vent. The main thing to have in my opinion is sit Condtioning.
very cool tractor and set up, great video
Thank you for watching.
Jason how many acres do they farm organic? And do they have tradition acres to supplement?
It is all organic. I am not sure how many acres they cover. This is their fourth year going organic. It’s all ground that was in CRP for a decade.

Less than 10 yes ago a GMO soil bacteria was engineered that came within about 3 weeks of killing the planet. Klebsiella Plantigo was made to make alcohol. That KILLS ROOTS/PLANTS. Klebsiella grows INSIDE roots. It is found in virtually all planetary soils where plants grow. When released, (the 3 weeks) the genetic contamination of natural Klebsiella would be inevitable. All the plants on the planet would die.
The study was done in Oregon and was not released because EVERY TEST PLANT IN GMO KLEBSIELLA CULTURE DIED whereas no control plants died.
International harvester had front mounted lights starting on the 66 series !!!!
The IH 06/56 wheatlands were the first IH’s with headlights. The Oliver 55 series introduced headlights in 1969. I was just talking in general over all terms in the video as Case, Ford, Allis-Chalmers and Massey did not really offer headlights until the late 70’s to the late 80’s.
Hey Jason, as always, I loved the video! When you do older tractors, would you mind informing us a little bit more about the previous and future series? Like what did the 4840 replace and what replaced the 4840? Thanks again, keep up the amazing work... still waiting for you to make your way to eastern Iowa to catch our operation :)
Thank you for the invite. I hope to make it your way some time. I very much would like to talk more about the history of the series showing the tractors before and after the one being featured my major issue on that is I don’t have a 6030 or a 4850 filmed right now so just wasn’t possible with this tractor hopefully that can be corrected in the future.
@@bigtractorpower Not a problem! And I was just thinking of some more information that I would love to know! You did a great job explaining everything about it, just thinking of a few things that I would like to know!
Hopefully over time as I locate more tractors I can fill in the gaps. I have a list of tractors I want to find. It’s just not always easy locating them to film.
I sure don’t miss running tho seed boxes got a center fill now
I love all farming equipment, but especially this type, I love the vintage tractors as I was raised around them, do you have anything on case 930, Massey Ferguson 180, or Minneapolis Moline 602 those are the ones my dad owned
Those are three tractors I would like to film. I did recently film a Case 770 and a MM G1050.
Just to be clear, what was all the equipment needed to set up Autoguidance on this tractor?
ATU 200
Starfire 3000
Monitor
Anything else?
I am not sure. I filmed this in 2018. It would be best to ask a John Deere dealer.
that's nice how match to it selling praise
Sweet!😎 my uncle has the same tractor.😁
What implements does he run with his 4840.
@@bigtractorpower I think he runs a fertilizer spreader in the Spring and a baler in the Fall.
Nice
good video. I'd like to see their tillage practices. thankful somebody still cares about organic
Here is their 8520T working on tillage ahead of the 4840 m.th-cam.com/video/sZRA6yxh-xs/w-d-xo.html
But u didn’t show u an him in that spacious cab brings back fond memories
It was tight riding along in the cab to film. I filmed an AC 7040 recently. No hope of getting two people in that cab.
Will you cover the 55 and the 60 sires
Yes I have covered both on the channel in the past. I featured a 2wd 4955 last fall and 4960 last year as well. I will post more 30-60 series.
You are mistaken in saying that organic crops do not rely on pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers to grow, they simply rely on other chemicals to do that than traditional farming. And yes I said "chemicals" because everything is a chemical. There is a long list of chemicals that can be used on organic crops and still meet the guidelines for whatever labeling they seek.
Being all organic, they can save seed for next year right?
I do not know.
Organic means they only use natural herbicides and fertilizers, not that it doesn't use any at all.
Is it me, or does the hood on the 4840 look a little longer then what you would see on a 4440?
bigger engine
Are they planting into sod? The ground looks a little rough
The night time shot was basically notill. The day time footage was after two tillage passes. See the tillage video in this field at m.th-cam.com/video/sZRA6yxh-xs/w-d-xo.html
Just have to say, it's hard to believe that s 40 years old tractor. Always liked the look of sg-cab Deeres. That's shame those are pretty rare in here Finland, because those were too big and expensive when new, but sometimes you can see American deere. Most of that age john deeres are German made 1640-3040. (or 50-series same size models later)
What types of new John Deere tractors are sold in Finland today?
@@bigtractorpowerFrom 5-series models to 8r-series, don't know about 8rt-series, but i think you can order 8rt or even 9r/rt/rx If you want or need, but i think here isn't any of those models.
I personally have seen only two articulated 4wd Deeres in Finland, both were 8440 or 8640 model, i know there is few more 4wd's, 30, 40 and 50 series.
I don't know is here any 60-, 70-, 9000, 9020, 9030 or 9r-series 4wd articulated or tracked tractor.
I'm pretty sure you CAN'T find all 30, 40, 50, 55 or 60 series 2wd/fwa models from Finland, some models of those series are missing here.
In Sweden is much more American Deeres, both new and old models.
I have readed from somewhere that those JD (as well as other brands) cabs with one door was illegal in Finland at 70's because there isn't emergency exit on it.
I'm not sure, but i think they have to modified cabs to have 2 Doors on those days.
Today it isn't problem, because many tractors have only one door and maby regulations are different today.
I have also seen couple 8000t and 8010t models here.
Hope you understand my bad english 😁
Lol he says he likes running classic equipment... Hahaha that's only because he hasn't had a chance to run an R series yet. I know there is no question in my mind what tractor I'm hooking up with when I head to the field for a long day there is just no comparison auto steer or not... Don't get me wrong I still like our 4440 I grew up inside that tractor! and I'll use it for little jobs but my days off sitting 15 hours in it are OVER! The new tractors are just so much more spacious and comfortable. Hell our new s670 has a refrigerator (I know that's nothing new) and heated and ventilated leather seats, XM radio backup and unload cameras all I'm missing is a microwave! Haha
Alex trust me he has driven the newest of the new 2019 machines up to 620 hp. He is out running an S790 on the family farm right now cutting wheat. The farm runs for 8 S790s for wheat and 5 for corn and 6 for soybeans. If you watch my 2018 video of the wheat harvest you will see 7 S790s cutting wheat in a row towards the end of the video I climb up in the cab of one and out operator of the 4840 is behind the wheel of the S790. See the video at m.th-cam.com/video/iPOHV2F0UpI/w-d-xo.html
That's neat
Thank you for watching.
I had been told by more than one person that a 40 series does not have the hydraulic capacity to run a 16 row vac yet they are in this video. I did not see a pto driven auxiliary pump. Am I missing something?
They should have no problem pulling a 7200. A farm in the town I grew up in upgraded from a 7000 12 row to a 7200 12 row in 1992. That farm uses a 1066 to pull the 7200. Now a new 1775NT 5e, a 1790 or 1795 Deere planter requires a bunch of hydraulics and a 40 series would not be a good match for those.
Yes and no the tractor is a little slow at picking the planter up
@@johndeerefarmer5993 are the any overheat problems in the transmission or just slow response on the pickup?
@@bigtractorpower yes we use a 40 series on a 7200 12 row vac and it's more than enough but a 12 row has one fan. The 16 row goes to 2 fans hence the much bigger requirement. I was just curious how it worked for these guys.
Bradley Poehler no the transmission doesn’t overheat. The manual for the planter actually has a 4840 pulling it
Why does it need that high rpm’s ?
I do not know.
Cozy.
And paid for.
must be planting in 4th gear. We were wondering if you could fit in that cab. lol Also our 4840 has a thumb release to get out of the cab instead of that lever. The only gps in ours is a light bar. set your AB and go at it. We pull a kinze 16/31 push pull and it pulls it just fine except going up a steep hill on freshly cut wheat. It wants to spin because of how slippery the straw is.
I would love to see an old gopro get plowed over and see if it survives
No GMO ,that's the go.
Right, lets pay more for a less nutritious version of the same food. Must be nice to be so rich and privileged.
ktrocknerd So Monsantos bs has worked on you .
