crude? Don't get me started! Been on all three. Yes, the 4020 is nice, the 806 has power, but here's what i've noticed - if your jd is worn, when you press the clutch in to long your hydraulic pump quits, what to do, take your foot off the clutch and wiggle the steering wheel! also, if it's an early model how bout those hydraulic levers on the dash, on the left side! (no offense leftys!) And what about those brakes that go bad and ruin your entire hydraulic system! Icon, john deere says, oh yea, they're making tons of money selling parts for these! As far as the i.h., who can climb on these things? unbelievable! t.a.? slipping or not working is what most for sale adds say! oh yea they make good pullers easy to turn on but hard too get on! imagine a roll cage on that critter, don't forget your tarp strap to hold her in gear. I'm sorry, didn't mean too rag too hard but I catch alot of slack for what I own, paid half the price for mine and will run it along side of any tractor of its era, and some of the new ones, got slack one nite drinking about the throttle lever being on the side of the hood, guess where j.d. has put they're throttle? And how about that one piece frame design, when did Oliver start that? I can remember on our 3020, 4020, 4320, (yes we had all three) the fan hitting the shroud telling us the motor mount bolts were broke or stripped out. Are you people blind or do you buy things because that's what the neighbor's run? We bought a Deutz when I was a young boy was a wonderful tractor!, But guess what?, peer pressure made pop buy green and yellow and he had wonderful luck if you consider engine failure goood luck, heck j.d. bought one tractor back from us we couldn't keep rod and main bearings in it! (2630) The best one was when the farm failed and a friend came over to cut hay but his 4230 wouldn't pick up the haybine it was old and tired he said so too help him I went to the shed and got our Super 77 and picked it up for him so he could head home too fix his "J.D." You think Iv'e had enough preaching about green and yellow? I've seen too much green and yellow! I bought the worst 1955 Oliver around and restored it and still wished I wouldn't have traded. (for a White, of course). Give it a chance, please? And Happy New Year!!!
