Classic John Deere 1640 in on the Maize Harvest Action!

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

For me one of the reasons you have a classic is because it is about bringing back memories for yourself. 🤷‍♂️.

[@kennethmurphy3841]

Lovely little johndeere spent at bit a good few hrs on a 3050 and 3650 lovely tractors with a great view of the pickup hitch

[@TheGavin95]

If you’re looking for a classic that you can make some use of try a 3650, Beast of a machine, spent my youth in one, awesome sound!

[@simonperry330]

The Deere SG Cabs were a revolution when they were launched in the Early Seventies complete with Radio and Eight Track! I feel like a Fossil,

What a gorgeous 1640,credit to the owner for a mint tractor

[@BaldyBriand]

Lovely little JD …. I drove a 2850 2 wheel drive for years it was a 1989 model …. Great little tractor Joe…. Simple as hell to keep maintained , great video

[@peterhedison2141]

one of the first tractors i drove at college good fun

[@fendt5163]

A neighbour used to have a 1640 evactly like that, he used it for everything back int day. That one of Mick's is really tidy, there won't be many left in such good condition. I've got a 3050 myself, and an older 3130 that we use to run the mill.

[@marcwhite5193]

My first tractor was a 1640 on a milk tanker. Great little tractor. Oh and the front window/door is off set so you have better vision out the front. Great video keep them coming mate 👍

[@johns9315]

Yes they was made specifically that way so it didn't block the emblem on the top of the bonnet at the front so you could use it as a guide to get your first straight line in when doing field work.

[@montidell7227]

our farm was built on a 1640 with 245 loader over the last 10 years! a well capable beast, only let us down with the 2wd not being suitable to pull a 3m cultivator uphill, which is far enough for the little machine. broke my heart when we sold it, i learned to drive on it, all kinds of mechanics and farming on it, and the cab was wonderful. you should deffo get one!!

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video joe the little 1640 a lovely tractor the engine is as sweet as a nut never drove a 40 series but plenty of 50 and 55 series

[@SAB_Agri]

Hard to beat old classic tractors Cool vid Joe.. 🤙🤙👍👍

[@Imtheman1977]

It would suit the straw blower. Handy around the yard

[@markcrowther6869]

Good looking picture

[@andygough4666]

when i started my contracting company the first tractor i got was 3650 hi lift JD with sp2 cab and a spearhead excel 550 hedge cutter never let me down and great tractor for hedge cutting as big side window great lock and good gearbox would love to find a good one again great vid joe

[@stubuddle5561]

Loveing the baler twine holding everything together. 🤣

[@PaulJohnson257]

I know what your saying about your Dad, but trust me one day he won’t be there and you’ll miss him

[@KevinJD2030]

These 1640's are neat tractors to run I really like the power synchro transmissions that are in them. They're really reliable and practically will run almost forever. The only small points I don't really like about the 40 series is how bad the electricals are on them they're terrible and the cab liner as well it's they really tend to get loose over time. And when you don't give gas when pulling away it'll stall but that's not that big of a deal. Great machines if maintained well

[@smithyy61]

I clocked him pulling out of gisburn inwas carting 2nd cut. He Didn’t bloody wave 🤣🤣

[@georgeedwards8156]

We have got a 2850 like that one best tractor ever made

[@stubuddle5561]

I use a 2040S. She is a beast. 4 wheels drive.

[@Theforestbandit]

Super Video Joe as for the Antique .. if its green it has to be seen.

[@owenhinrich2135]

I think any of the old John Deeres like the 50 series or the 00 or 10 series would be a good classic that you could get some use off

[@paulnicholas9436]

My dad always asks me to sort out his electric chain saws. Probably going on for at least 15 years 😀

[@derekmurphy8737]

Another brilliant video Joe👍👍. What la beauty the little John Deere, wow how advanced tractors have become 👍👍👍. The well oiled machine in full flow.👍👍. Aw I used to love eating the dinner in the field pal, fair play to Em keeping the yard afloat while you and the lads are flat out 👍👍👍. Well stay safe pal and I look forward to part 2👍👍👍. Love it 👍👍. Good luck to Andy tomorrow. Legend👍👍👍👍

[@aquaspire7671]

That 1640 is awesome!

[@philvipond1050]

Good video Joe, we have a 2650 jd ,it's 1985 done 19k hrs never been touched ,does hedge cutting, some hay work in summer now

[@jonathans1955]

I used to enjoy ploughing with a 4wd 3040 (pump turned up) pre sg2, while my farmer cousin used to drill with a 4wd 2140 sg2 cab. Sg2 was much the better cab.

[@thcenterprisellc112]

1640 is a solid unit ! Great video !

[@neilross2646]

My dad ha a 2040s then a 3040 his last one was a 3050 . I had a lot off days sitting between the seat and the side window not passenger seats back then

[@barrypetcher8542]

My Dad never paid for a round of drinks when I was in the pub, does that count? LOL

[@alanjackson4033]

loved the SG2 cab querky but practicle

[@antonyfarming]

Beauti classic JD 😍

[@Robstew9000]

Proper tractor that 1640 I used to drive a 1984 2140..I passed your Ben on way home from work..

[@kennethmurphy3841]

Just wondering Joe would not be worth buying your road deisel in bulk and store.it at the farm surely it would be cheaper and you could run your own vehicles on it?

[@richardbaker22]

Great video joe

[@iaingibbs9589]

I think that's what me dad used to drive when I was still at school you could have left it anywhere because if his dog was in it nobody would get in it Yeah I'll never forget that they contracted turned up with a John dear tractor he wouldn't get back into his own tractor the dog beating Into it it was incredible

[@davidhall5130]

John Deere 2650 4wd had best steering lock I’ve ever had. Brilliant on hedge cutter don’t make them like this now

[@anthonypearson7843]

Proper jd tractor

Morning

[@charlieboy9297]

Hi Joe

[@pauljamesfitzmaurice3192]

Just wondering if you have to fill up the tractors that belongs to the lads doing the mase silage pit with diesel or do they get there own diesel

[@johns9315]

The farms they are working for normally supply the diesel.

[@pauljamesfitzmaurice3192]

@@johns9315 must be something that takes place outside of Ireland as de farmers in Ireland don't supply diesel

[@coaks3650]

as soon as I have space it will have to be a jd 2140 4wd

[@farmerlamb2372]

Get a 3350 or 3650

[@johns9315]

Hey Joe does your dad think if he isn't filling the lorry up then he isn't paying for the diesel 🤣 That's a nice looking 1640 Micks an I bet it's worth a bit too with low hours like that on it, dad had 2030, 2130, 3130, 2140 and the 4440 we tried the a couple of the 70 series but wasn't impressed with them though and moved away from JD then and on to a mix of Massey Ferguson, Case and New Holland until I went over to Fendts. The tractor you want to get Joe is a john Deere 2030 lovely little tractors they were, will give you muscles driving it though as no power steering on them lol It's nice to be able to go back and drive the old tarctors an see what they was like, my daughter would rather drive out old Fergie 135 what we have on the yard scraper that the new one any day as she says they are so easy, coming from a youngster that a great compliment towards the old tractors, should of let Em have a go on the 1640 so she could see what the old ones were like lol I'm guessing you don't remember the old crash boxes where you had to double clutch between ranges unless you got the reves matched just right to your speed? Not sure if you can take the leveller tines off your front press easily like we can our but the press is great for rolling clamps down if you mount them on the rear 3 pint linkage and turn the draught control right up to give max down force and a couple old John Deere single weights tied to the frame. My Mrs said this year is the fastest she's ever traveled chopping in the last 6 years since she started contracting where its so short and thin, she said nearly all the farms she's done this year so far have have very low yields compared to other years so your not the only one, some of our short maize we have rather than loose the cob trying to chop it we've decided to combine once it's dry then put it through the mill an if there is enough stalk left we will bale it for feed.

[@richardmottram9838]

Mick fetch tractor is family or friend

Best part of harvest dinner time eats all together Crack on

[@kai-theyoungfarmer4413]

Ayup joe

[@hpilamos486]

Loving the 1640, we had one as our main tractor but with the square sekura cab. +1 for the 3650 as a usable classic

[@stubuddle5561]

Mines the same Mick needs a new interior she is showing her age. 1985.

[@nickaf5262]

That forager dosent even know that maize is there it should be 7 foot tall not 4 foot
