John Deere 730 Tractor and John Deere RWA Disk

[@farmer62401]

Nice looking tractor! We still have my dad's 730 and 12 foot rwa disk although they were "retired" back in 1977. Good equipment just too small for todays farming operation. We still play with it for the fun of it and remember when it was the "big" tractor on the farm. Pulling the old AC All-Crop 72 really makes it snort whan we are running 90+bushel of wheat through it! Back in 1966 if the wheat made 40 bph we were happy. My how things have changed!

@@farmer62401 The larger yields are definitely challenging for my JD 45 combine and my New Idea picker sheller. I’ve learned to take my time with these old machines and not get into a hurry to get things done.

Nice video. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

Nice 730. I always wanted one but I never have gotten one. Had 2 different 720 diesels through the years and I started farming myself with a 630 and it was a good tractor. Have more modern tractors now other than a Super MTA that needs restoration. Thanks again for sharing the video.

[@rogermiller7411]

Super MTA is the M to have!

Amazing video!! The model 730 is a good tractor. The diesel sips fuel and plenty of power. Thanks for sharing this with us!

What a great sound!

Nothing runs like a Deere!

What type of pull type combine did you use? I still farm with the equipment my grandfather and dad bought new in the 50's and 60's. We run a 50, 520, 620, 630 and 720 Diesel. along with a 95 Corn special (Diesel). We like farming with the old equipment, as we can repair most of it ourselves.

John Deere 42. Go to my channel and there’s a couple of videos of it in action with the 730.

Nices tractor 🚜 ❤

[@adiamondforever7890]

Which RWA do you have? Mine has 7 disks per gang, and ball bearings. Post ‘61 from loop hose stand. Years ago I had both 720 and 730 diesels

[@rogermiller7411]

Same as yours. Glad I don’t have to grease the gangs.

Your 730 does not have the high speed transmission. At 3:47 the shifting pattern clearly shows 1st, 2nd, and 4th on the same side as reverse. High speed transmissions have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on the the same side as reverse. I wish John Deere would build some of these classic tractor series, new again. Although, too many modern regulations would ruin them.

[@rogermiller7411]

Good to know. Would rather have the lower speeds for baling and running the picker sheller. Thanks!
