Since both tractors are apart I?ve been thinking about updating I looked at a red one but just can?t sink that low I?d rather farm with oxen than a fiat 😂 went with another John Deere

LOL! Would they be red oxen ?

SVcummins · Apr 8, 2019

Maybe . I do like red cattle

I run a FIAT tractor (NH 7635) and use my buddies 4020 to cut hay when helping him with haying. Would not trade my FIAT for a 4020. 4020= clunker.

Just narrowed the wheels to 62" and put on the rear hubs and duals for the 22'd time on my Ford NH 8670 (does say Fiat on park brake) .Also remove front fenders and reverse wheels on the super steer front.Just use it for planting with a 12 row JD 7200 and set wheels at 90" rest of year . It's been a great tractor and just turned 11000 hrs.

Oh but that?s the IH with the v-8 cat 3208?right?

Looks good

JayinNY · Apr 9, 2019

The pics don't upload I'll try again

JayinNY · Apr 9, 2019

I see pics now, I don't think that new holland can compare to a 6610/7710 ford?

SVcummins · Apr 9, 2019

It has an international built v8

ajl In fifty years of actual farm work that pos fiat will be reincarnated as a harbor freight dead blow hammer If the plastic is of a high enough quality and the 4020 will still be working

Actually considering how much field time verses shop time you have with your JD tractors you'd probably get more done with Oxen.

lee little · Apr 9, 2019

Me too !

Traditional Farmer · Apr 9, 2019

I tell you what just to show you my heart is in the right place since both your JD are broke down I'll lend you my Long/Landini to do your work with this Spring,that way you'll get your
work done a Third faster and you can go on vacation for a couple weeks with the money you save on fuel.(LOL)

It's pretty obvious you'd have had twice the tractor if you'd bought the red one. Don't be concerned about the green one being cheap though. It'll gain in resale value. LOL

SV--I like the way you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!---Tee

rrlund I didn?t have the money to jump up to the bigger scale 😂

SVcummins · Apr 9, 2019

Traditional I may just take you up on that 😂😂. I had a hesston bought once but it got away from me there are some nights the end of November first of December that can would come in handy

SVcummins · Apr 9, 2019

I put just over 400 hours in the field on each tractor last year

SVcummins · Apr 9, 2019

Landini tried to make a go of it here all the kubota and Belarus crowd tried them after 4 years they found out they were worth about 100$ a ton for scrap . The organic dairy had one it spent more time Parked in the shop it could even handle pulling a feedwagon cnh fiat took it on trade as scrap . What excatly do you do with your tonka toys ? You obviously don?t do anything real heavy with them? Then again you?ve got 15 to do the work my 2 real tractors do . Do you put 20 hours a year on ?

SVcummins · Apr 9, 2019

😂😂😂

Traditional Farmer · Apr 10, 2019

Well you said you put 800 hrs a year on two tractors a little over 2 hrs a day,I can say for sure I put over 2 hrs a day on my tractors,according to the hr meter I've averaged over 100 hrs a year on just my Oliver/Fiat 1365 the last 15 years,only thing I've done is change oil and did put on a better set of tires.Needs a new power steering pump now ($150) off ebay so I'm pretty happy with that one.With a lot of tractors I can leave implements hooked up like my Oliver 1465 stays hooked up to the 10ft brush hog so if I get a hogging job I can just fire up and go at it saves a whole lot of time for an old man.Guess I'm doing not too bad for an old 'retired' Fake Farmer.(LOL)You 'll be lucky to do what I do when you get my age,better get on the organic food and Roundup free water and Oatmeal diet now if you want to keep up(LOL)

What work did you do with the 4020 today?(LOL)
