I have a choice to buy a 1965 3020D w/ 8000 hrs (1 overhaul) for about 8000.00 or a 1970 3020D with 5200 hrs. for 12500.00. Both have been shedded and are row crop and have2 rear Hyd., weight kits and good rubber. The 65' has a cab and the 70 is open. Is the 70' that much better?

Both sound high in price. The most expensive 3020 I've ever seen went for 13,500. I think it was a 70 or 71, and had a rops with canopy, console hidrolics two remotes a wide front, and new tires. It only had around 1500 actual hours on it. I mean that's only like three years of actual work on it. It was a fanominal tractor, and if I had the money I would have bought it in a heart beat. 12,500 seems high for the 70 model, but I'd rather pay that than 8,000 for the 65. Those dashboard hydrolic controls are a major pain. Besides might as well go first class. If you keep the tractor a couple years,and the used tractor markets continue to go as they have I don't think you'll loose money on it. But then again who knows the 4020 craze seems to be simmering down alittle. Those tractors have come down about 2,000 dollars a unit in the past 3 years. in the mid Ohio Vally we are starting to see 7500 dollar 4020D where a good one couldn't be bought for 10,000 a while ago. 3020's arn't as common, and their price seems to be staying more consistant. Of course good gasers can be got for 2-4 thousand less. I love the 3020, and the 70 model falls right in line with my dream tractor, if it only had a wide front, and rops with canopy. Which ever one you get try to talk them down alittle, but most of all good luck and have fun. Greg H.

Greg, Thanks, I have also just found a 4000 row crop. I do not know much about it yet but I would like to know what you think about the 4000 since it is close to your dream tractor from the clutch back.
A dealer wants 9K for it.

Tree Man,
I've only spent about 8 hours on a JD 4000, helping a neighbor bale hay for a couple days, so I'm no expert on the 4000. They do seem to be nice tractors, and right in line with other late model new generation tractors. Duke brought up an interesting point, in there being no extra sheet metal around the seat pedistal. I just thought that my neighbor had taken it off. The 4000 would definately be a more powerful tractor, and nearly as nimble as the 3020. If the 4000 is in real good shape 9,000 doesn't seem to out of line, you might want to consider it. I don't know, I'd just pick the best one that you can afford, and try to deal on it. I looked for 6 months before I found my 4020. I remember going from dealership to dealership looking, and haggling. Finally I go to an old farmers home and he was in bad health. His son showed me the tractor in his barn, and something about it tugged at my heart and I told the boy that if the thing ran I wanted it. It ran, and I bought it and the rest is history. I've seen better tractors since then, but I'm happy with my 4020, and I look forward to making hay with it a long time. Good luck in dealing, and I hope you get a good machine. Greg H.

The 4000 was offered as a cheaper version of the 4020. It is basically the same as a 69+ 4020 with out all the frills ie the sheet metal on the sides of the seat, and fewer lights. The major diference is the lack of syncronized reverse shifting.
Late model 4020's and 3020's (69-72) had a number of improvements over the earlier models. The SCV's are all at the rear of the tractor, the hydralic controls are moved to a console at the right of the operators seat, pto clutch is hydralic operated, a paper cartridge air filter is used in place of an oil bath type,and more gauges were added. be aware though that parts for the injection pumps on late models are hard to find. Many were changed to a differant type. If the bolts that hold the injector lines to the pump are vertical it is the original style. on replacements the bolts are horizontal, the injector lines have to be replaced to upgrade the pump. Overall I would rather have a late model myself.
