That thing spreads it almost as good as our politicians.

[@mrourcanada8964]

That’s really impressive that John Deere tractor with like 12,000 hours on it and still going strong

[@scottpykare801]

Awesome tractor!!! It's absolutely awesome to see them still working the land. I could watch this tractor all day. My all time favorite tractor is the JD 4440. Thanks Jason 👍🏻

[@bigtractorpower]

The 4440 is one of my all time favorites as well.

This is right up there with the best that Deere ever produced.

[@paulszabo8222]

I have used a 7400 John Deere power shift to pull a Hagedorn extravert spreader at my aunt's horse farm. It felt like a good match. Loaded with a 5525 John Deere. The 4640 is a tough old tractor. Running an iron horse or late sound guard Deere is on my bucket list. Thanks for the video

[@bernardniesen8694]

John Deere - лучший трактор в мире ! 🔥💪

[@Spudchucker92]

Owned since 1982 and still working the fields in 2022. A real workhorse. Impressive. 👍

[@bigtractorpower]

40 years of service still going strong.

[@nickkercheval2704]

Own a 4640 quad range. Little over 9000 hours with only water pump replaced engine wise. Semi retired now but still dependable

[@elamnissley4099]

Nice video. That's one of my favorite jobs. I'm lucky to still do that. We use a ih 1086 and Meyers 7500 v force spreader.

[@donfrisch6437]

we had a 4840 back in the day, we put triples on it because it had more power than traction, it was a beast back then

[@craigdennis4840]

We use a 4630 on our farm to run our side mount mower that my 85 year old grandpa still runs every spring and fall to mow around the fields.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Great tractor.

[@JacobDoffing42]

I've worked for a dairy that uses their John Deere 7800 tractor with a 740 Classic Loader infront of it to pull a John Deere 785 manure spreader. They have used a Hagedorn 275 hydrapush manure spreader that their oldest brother owns, and when they had that spreader, I operated it with their John Deere 7800.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very nice spreading team with the 785.

[@Blackwellll3066]

This reminded me when how farms works tested kuhn spreader with their 4640....

[@bigtractorpower]

Very similar. Great KZbin channel. This is a farm a grew up by in NY I have enjoyed watching all my life.

Manure spreader technology reached it's peak 100 years ago

[@davepenn9181]

Pulling one of those really cuts down on tailgating, I'll bet.

[@austinmetro6317]

Hi Jason. I am farming beef cows here in north tipperary, Ireland. I hire in o briens contractor to handle my manure spreading. He uses a bunning spreader, operated by a fendt 828. It spreads the manure very evenly, which makes for better farming all round. Great videos you are showing.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing. A large grain farm I film at here in Kentucky applied chicken litter to 6,000 acres of ground per year. They used a Bunning Tri Axle spreader. It did an amazing job spreading. The farm switched from litter to NH3 so they sold the Bunning.

[@duanehenicke6602]

This is my "big" tractor on my farm. Mine has the hydraulic pfwd. Have around 25k hrs on it. Recently had transmission rebuilt, and about 2k hrs on a John Deere crate engine. My second tractor is 4440. Hard to find anyone still turning wrenches to work on them. I have to diagnose the problem myself and tell them what they need to do to fix them. And hope they don't cause more problems than they fix.....

[@bigtractorpower]

The 40 series are solid tractors. That’s cool you have a hfwa 4640. The 4440 is one of the all time greats.

[@QuicoRubi]

As much I love my red tractors, a 4640 powershift with 4-post canopy would get my attention quick.

I hope to film a 4 post ROPS 4555 next spring. 👍👍

[@timjorden8329]

How many of the tractors made today are still going to be working in 40 years?

[@matthewtaliaferro]

Depends on how you take care of them. It’s just like a car practically

[@bigtractorpower]

It will be interesting to see what happens. The biggest challenge will be if the software and computers hold up.

[@user-kd4vq7vl8f]

Nice

[@E37206]

I don't think i've ever seen a door on a soundgard series like that without the bottom window, interesting.

[@bigtractorpower]

I would guess it’s a replacement door. Maybe off an 8630 4wd?

[@GMT400Chevy]

@@bigtractorpower Nope, I own a 8630, has full glass at the bottom like the rest of the 30 series.

I'm guessing somebody broke the glass out and fastened a piece of metal in it's place.

[@John-nc4bl]

Jason, thanks for another interesting video. Man you need to come out to California to the San Joaquin Valley sometimes called the Central Valley to make a slew of impressive videos. Google map for the town of Corcoran which is at the eastern edge of Tulare lake. This area was made into productive farmland. The Imperial Valley south of the Salton sea is also another area worth seeing with regards to ag.

[@bigtractorpower]

I would like to do that. California has amazing agriculture. I visited Bakersfield in 2010. That was just a few months before I started KZbin. Back then it was just pictures on Bigtractorpower.com. I hope to visit California again.

Like my friend 👍👍👍👉🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@404nitro]

Even before you said anything about how the spreader performs, I was thinking that is did one of the best jobs of any spreader I have watched on YT or in person. If I heard you right though, that spreader is actually just slightly above the power class of the tractor? 160 min for the spreader vs 155 for the tractor? It appeared the tractor handled it just fine to me, albeit with some minor wheel slip on some of the hills.

[@bigtractorpower]

The farm really really likes this Pro Push. They like how it just eats up material. I am glad you mentioned the min power of the spreader vs the tractors Hp. I was hoping some one would catch that. When the 4640 was built most of the tractors were much hotter than advertised. A 4640 is advertised at 155 pto hp but most likely put on a dyno it can put out 175 to 200 hp with ease and not being turned up. Both Deere and IH in the 70s were conservative on advertised horse power. Basically they underpromised and over delivered.

[@404nitro]

​@@bigtractorpower I was just coming back to mention that maybe why it is handling it so well is because most machines turn up more HP than what they are rated at and if you look at the tractor data site, you can see that both companies still under rate what their machines actually turn up in the Nebraska tests when I saw your reply. You beat me to it 👍A JD dealer told me about them under rating their machines, even among machines as small as the compact utility class back in 2001.

[@troyremmers6223]

I run a 8430 4wd with a Meyer 2750 spreader

[@claireburton129]

great tractor round cab jd 40 range

[@merleelsing2211]

The field is far too wet for that!🤣

[@deere7227]

Coincidence that I saw one of these spreaders sold at auction today. It was more than well beyond best before date and still over $8000 Cdn

[@John-nc4bl]

In my judgement, a conveyer chain running long the floor of the spreader would require less power than the pusher plate moving the manure to the beaters since the chain has a better ability to slip while the plate has no slippage potential but I may be wrong. What do y'all thing-?

[@clinthochrein888]

I can’t believe this tractor is 40 some yrs old already getting er done.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very nice spreader and great tractors.

[@davegdm954]

so whats the difference between the partial powershift and the full powershift

[@bigtractorpower]

Power Shift allows you to push your shift through gears with out delay. Partial Power Shift means you have to clutch between certain speeds.

[@davegdm954]

@@bigtractorpower makes sense. that was my guess. I've operated a 4020 powershift and I didn't need the clutch for going up through. the few gears i used

[@duanehenicke6602]

The quad range was the second option to the powershift. A,B,C,D with four gears in each range, plus reverse. 1 and 2 could be bumped up or down without clutch. Clutch and shift to 3 or 4 and you had the same options with those two gears.
