Makes me miss those days we had a 4010 the same 717 super Chopper could hear that Chopper whining for miles

I spent a good many hrs on this exact setup back in the 80’s. Thanks for the video

Love the hum of that old chopper! Thanks for making a great vid.

We used to chop about 200 acres a year with a John Deere 4010 and a one row # 6 John Deere Chopper. I believe we chopped in about 4th gear. When we eventually went to a 2 row # 12 John Deere chopper, it did not really speed things up, two rows in 2nd gear. At the end of the day it is about tractor horsepower, not number of rows on the chopper.

My uncle had the same chopper but a two row, 40" head which he pulled it with an Oliver 1850. We had a New Holland 880 which had a 22.5" throat a much better chopper because of the wider throat. Great Video!!

I really liked the video what year model is the 4020 we have one I believe that it is a 1971 it's also a power shift and we had a 717 chopper both were very popular when I was growing up thanks for sharing
