John Deere 7520 - Real American Horsepower!

[@davidwhite9986]

I had this model in my sand box I played in as a kid! It's hard to say how many "acres" I cultivated on my hands and knees! Good times, I still have it too, cabs bent up......but many good memories with that tractor!

[@jimbaker7133]

You were probably plowing deeper in your sand box than this moron..

[@caseruels1924]

I was able to ride in a brand new 7520 when I was a kid in 1972, then many years later I was able to drive a friend of mine’s low hour, beautiful 7520. A smooth, quiet and strong tractor! I also loved my 4620 John Deere that I used on my farm for years

[@RJ1999x]

Only reason you thought it was strong, is because you never drove anything else. It is a dog of a tractor

[@mrih1586]

Enjoyed the video. Those are great looking tractors. Like all the early JD 4WD's they were a little short on power and even shorter on torque.

[@777fuzzypeach]

Computer controlled powershift transmission? Nope. Air conditioned soundproof cab? Nope. Still working hard after 40+ years? Hell yes!

Because it's a jd that's why

[@МергенМанджиев-г5с]

This tractor for tru man!!!

[@bobthebuilder2922]

@@varminthunter5935 no. It's because it's made of metal like old tractors are. Not plastic

[@toledojeeper2932]

We bought one in 1975 , last one the dealership was getting . Great tractor other than ac never worked and one day while driving down the road wide open it just decided to turn . Ended up in a 6 foot ditch but backed it right out , scared the crap out of me . They replaced the cylinders in the center of tractor and I dont believe it ever happened again . Last time I heard it was still working somewhere in southern Ohio .

[@hosshoward9118]

I had one back in the late eighties and I took it at a blowed motor and put A8630 Motor in it that I rebuilt and adapted myself

[@canvids1]

great video and that JD has some awesome power for sure thanks for posting

[@Bare36]

I remember the '80ies,whan i was a kid. Back than,my country was part of Yugoslavia,with huge collective farms. One big farm ,in my village had few of the jd's 5020,working alongside imt 5200 series. As a kid,it was a sight to see, on the road with double wheels

[@adambartek8590]

We own one. An absolute workhorse for is hp range. Two differents motors 175hp, and 200hp motor. Only issue we ever had with it is they have a weak design for their shifting cables between the cab, and outer transmission. Ours also has a 12ft dozer blade attachment. Knocked over plenty of trees between 12, and 15in diameter no problems

[@RJ1999x]

If it's horsepower range is 85

[@lylenielsen384]

That tractor pulls well. You are really doing a job on that stubble

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

I see you have the Hi-Lo trans in it, the pre runner to the Quadrange. That made a good tractor a GREAT tractor. even though they are quite undersized by today's standard, they can still do a lot of work very well and very economically compared to today's monsters.

[@Northern_Farmer]

hes pulling that thing pretty fast!

[@Tractorspotter]

Het is zeker de moeite om daar eens te gaan kijken. Kan hier geen linkjes plaatsen maar op het YT kanaal van Agrifoto staat een oud filmpje van de JD 8430 van de WP ;) Volgens mij heeft de WP idd ook een 20 serie gehad. Er lopen nu nog maar twee van deze in NL, de andere is een 7020.

[@MrMjsmith626]

Once upon a time the 7520 was king of the farm...now most two wheel drives will put out triple the horsepower of this unit.Its in mint condition (your 7520) its so clean inside the cab you could sell that tractor for new again today.It's been very well taken care of through the 40 years its been on the farm.Most of them that I've seen anymore are junk,windows broken,leaking scratched up,rusted out to the max.This is proof that a tractor should last practically forever.It's no 9630,but I still like it and it will keep producing practically forever...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!.

[@wordlog860]

After running a Case IH 1066 for too many years, I'm glad someone else is doing the same even with a 4x4. Whatever works right? /cheers!

[@beckywatt5048]

wordlog I've put a lot of hours on 3 or 4 of them myself, the first year I plowed with one it was pretty dry , I must have broke 6 or 8 wheel studs , then I got the one with wedge locks , young and way too ambitious.

[@bigredbosshog]

I know I saw that it's "world headquarters" is in Illinois, but that doesn't mean it's American owned. Anyway, thanks for the response. Always good when people can converse in a civil manner - especially here.

[@rickyjohnson4767]

Awesome tractor I used to drive one here in Tennessee. Late 70s 80s

[@Tractorspotter]

Kijk dat zijn de leuke weetjes! Jammer dat de meeste van zulke bedrijven inmiddels verleden tijd zijn. Net zoals de Ambachtsheerlijkheid in Numansdorp waar ik nog een tijd stage gelopen heb. Weet je toevallig nog mooie klassiekers zoals deze JD of een mooie dikke Ford te rijden in het Zeeuwse? Ik hoorde van iemand dat er Wolphaartsdijk nog een JD 4755 of 4955 moet rijden.

[@deangelopack7070]

for the year these were made this was a beast.. i ran one for a few years pulling a 28 foot disk... also great for snatching combines out of the mud

I have a feeling somebody just cultivated their first hobby farm field. It was like the tractors power should impress yet you show it to be weak a soon dead. If he is your employee, take him to a farm nearby to sit in some tractors to see how it's supposed to be done.

[@craiglambert1794]

He his going way to fast. Needs to slow down at least 2 gears. Half the shovels are even in the ground.

[@LuvBorderCollies]

Must be a hired man. Either that or guy has a hot date and wants to get done with work. ;-)

[@jeremys5217]

This kid shouldn't touch any type of agricultural type equipment.

[@bobhostetler8548]

Ahhhhhh he's just showing off..we were all young once.

[@edcalvert]

The kids is probably doing what he was taught. I love my equipment too much to treat it like this.

[@donaldellis3609]

He wouldn't get near my wheel barrow, plus the amount of black smoke somebody has been playing about with the fuel pump 🙄

[@Tractorspotter]

The 7520 was imported from the USA by the arable farmer himself in 1986.

[@Tractorspotter]

Ah, die was mij onbekend! Wordt die nog op het land gebruikt of alleen voor tractorpulling oid?

[@MrCase446]

Yea,I'd say the injector pump has been turned up on the old boy.

[@Andy-xm3ui]

That is how you break crap. Way to high a gear for whats he is doing.

[@edcalvert]

I agree. I don’t want to break my equipment so I load it much more practical.

[@Tractorspotter]

Ik zit even te kijken op Google Maps en heb wel een idee waar die zit. Maar nu is de grote vraag nog of die 7020 nog wel eens buiten mag spelen?? In ierder geval bedankt voor de info!

[@tigerstv9714]

Even though I prefer case, I can still appreciate some real american mustle

[@bovellois]

Amateur operator. Gear is too high for the load so he keeps raising the cultivator in order to keep the rpm.

[@logicalprocessing9520]

Young kid obviously. Trying to look good for the camera.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

yup.. he needs to drop a gear or two... I'd say...It would be easier on the tractor, and he'd do a better job of tilling....

[@rhysgaudet]

TheFarmerfitz . I think that part of it was he was trying to roll coal also but I agree drop a couple gears

[@AdriaanVerburg]

He did that once.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

Nice sounding old tractor though....

[@janrothlingshofer4201]

Super Video. Der John Deere 7520 hat für sein Alter noch Zugkraft ohne Ende. Mit dem 9 Meter breiten Flachgrubber arbeitet der Knicklenker garantiert mit Vollgas an seiner Leistungsgrenze.

[@turbodiesel4709]

Specs for the JD 7520 are 175 pto Hp, and 160 drawbar Hp on that 'ol girl. Wonder if the injection pump has been turned up? Looks like it might be, but it's hard to say. He was certainly lugging the engine pretty hard a few times, by running a little too fast of a ground speed for the load. A 7520 articulate is getting to be a pretty old tractor (built from 1972 thru 1975), so the engine could be gettin' tired. On the other hand, the exhaust smoke under a constant load was pretty clean, so it's tough to say, without actually knowing the status (actual hours and engine condition) of this actual machine. There's a good possibility she's been overhauled at some point by now, but ya never know. Nice newer rubber and clean straight tin on the 'ol girl... and she looks to be pretty well kept overall. Nice video!

[@krzysztofozga5097]

[@brandonbarthelemy6976]

Suddenly everyone’s an experienced farmer in the comment section?

nog even na vraag gedaan,7020 staat tussen Woensdrecht en Rilland,dit is een paar honderd meter voor het viaduct dat de A4 overgaat,aan de linker kant gezien van af Woensdrecht van af het cafetje op de hoek. Dit zou een loonwerker moeten zijn die de 7020 in zijn bezit heeft.

[@larryhofer7817]

Why are we writing comments we all know JD is the best common guys admit it

[@gerhardlesch3615]

Expensive green PAINT! Give me an IH.

[@Tractorspotter]

Jep, afgelopen zomer gefilmd :)

[@cormus1]

actually all those tractors in that series smoked like that

[@philipfarrell8114]

Now that I have watched the whole video I see that boy driving would never operate my tractors way too high of a gear that Deere is only about 300 hp

[@IG10705]

It's closer to 200 hp. I don't think John Deere broke the 300 hp mark until the late 70s early 80s. This one is from the early 70s at least

[@silvershark2843]

yep farmer lives next to me has same tractor and it also smokes like he'll..? lol

Hes goin so fast the thing bhind him is swaying around and half of the shovles aint even in the ground

[@RJ1999x]

If you ever owned, or drove a 7520, you'd know the term "real horsepower" and 7520 do not belong in the same sentence

[@braddavis8655]

Everyone beating the owner of this tractor up it's his machine just appreciate it

[@1956MercM260]

Nice old beast!

[@Hellbillyhok]

i hate seeing good old machines driven this harshly, nothing stands getting treated like that long, I'd not like the running costs for that guy

[@samwiskee4545]

that is the first time i saw somebody chisel plow with a field cultivator . It was fishtailing all over the place

[@murraytownsing5662]

Driven it like he stole it

[@keesdejager7554]

leuk ding om mee re rijden!!! jammer dat de airco kapot is:)

[@974missinglink]

First clue that lets you know you are going too fast is when the cultivator starts to "dance" behind the tractor. I definitely would not buy that tractor used from that farm, motor would be baked from inexperienced operators showing off. There is a huge difference between productivity and stupidity.

[@forgetabouttheworld]

I'd still buy the tractor though ;) Be a fantastic rare project

[@crouchsonsfarm2884]

i agre with you, slow the hell down and keep it at about 3/4 to 1/2 throttle and chug along not play speed racer and break all the shovels and over work the transmission. Made to go slow in field and kinda fast on the road the shit head, there goes 8th gear in the transmission

[@mattragan9836]

Rob Beck he is running too fast that what you get when you send an ignorant boy to do a man's job

[@pushpushlambert8079]

Yup ... And knob on the end of the throttle ... I only pulled it for road use ... Such a nice tractor ... To bad this stupid ass is killing it .

[@cleasonweaver4923]

Dood the guy is making a video. Why would u not roll a little coal? 3/4 of these commenters are doosh bags. I am shore You could find a video of a large tractor creeping around with a small plow at a idle. Go watch that and give it THUMBS Up

[@42lookc]

Too high a gear, but a very good demonstration of torque rise!

[@SilverGleaner]

not torque rise, he lifted the cultivator so it wouldn't kill. 531 was a poor engine overall.

[@BobbyTucker]

How would you compare the "White" "Field Boss" to this particular model of John Deere? Just curious.

[@jeffboles3267]

Just bought one of these for next to Nothing hope it wasn't run like this one run hard put away wet lol

[@markarmstrong3394]

Dang at 1:26 some of the shanks are skimming the ground. Kid needs how to plow !! My dad would have kicked my butt across the field if I did that ! Drop 2 gears and put it in the ground !!

[@hunter7476]

he wouldnt need headphones if he wasnt making the tractor scream wide open besides way too fast you can break your machines old stuff is delicate new stuff you can replace old stuff is valuable.

[@chahsanali4293]

good video

[@erniepforr7155]

[@farmerdave286]

Add a set of aftermarket tracks and a GPS unit- and you're ready!

[@learningtheoldschoolinthen258]

[@logansayers399]

I love old john deere's and prefer them over newer john deere's

[@kimsands7989]

our case 4490 would pull a 65 foot set of discers. no problem. it would also pull a 60 foot cultivator with shovels on it. not the spoons you are running either lol

[@edcalvert]

Yeah, he missed a lot.

[@simonrichard9873]

Although I love the smoke, your air filter needs cleaning.

[@wyattlarrick3246]

He increased the fuel going into the engine, hence the particulates.

I have a 7520 with a blad out front but yeah im 20 and i dont run mine like this kid shouldnt be allowed in it my gpa and uncle taught me the right way to run them

[@BenLakeLakey]

Beast!

[@davidruth1]

It smokes because those engines were not efficient... neither were the injectors and the rig is almost certainly pretty tired. This thing was only rated for 150 hp at the bar and rarely dyno tested that good. The cultivator is about all this tired old girl can handle... and oh yes, drop down a gear or two dud!!

[@cleasonweaver4923]

David , clueless. A 7520 was not rated at 150. And u would have some sort of problems if you could not Dino 150 hp. My 7520 puts out 250 hp without even trying. But what do I know. You probably own many tractor with the 531 motor. FYI there was a bit of sarcasm in that last line on case u misread it like some other stuff you look at

[@studioxps72]

He's in a hurry has a date tonight.

[@farmboy4500]

why so ruff on the old tractor dude give it a break!

[@wyattlarrick3246]

That's what them old machines are made for. They can take it.

[@davehoward6073]

Is that supposed to be instead of ploughing ?

[@EirikEika]

Yes it doues. When u got black smoke i have turned up your disel pump so that the tractor gets more fuel and thereby its a more powerfull explotion creating more power...
