Plowing with John Deere 730 Diesel

[@rogercarrico4975]

Beautiful tractor! And beautiful dirt! I bet you can grow anything in that! I can almost smell it. Thanks for posting

Ole' girl still turning that fresh sod, pulling that 4 bottom, like she's standing still. Great video!

[@Mopar-Pioneer]

Beautiful !!! Coulters and mouldboards set properly and ploughing a full load. 730 sounding like it's actually working, it don't get any better.

[@billyuhlir3783]

Ah the memories. The hours i spent with my dad on the biggest tractor on the farm at the time

[@joetiller1031]

That what I call first class, tractor and plow look like it just came out of the factory.

[@JohnSmith-fs4dx]

Beautiful tractor. Would give anything to have that ground too!

[@farmgrowncountrystrong]

Quite a load! Nice clip!

[@JasonShipley1979]

Ripping mother earth with the old 730

[@kenhampshire4996]

Nice dirt!

[@michaelcollings8779]

That looks like fairly heavy soil. We had a 730 D which put out 77 horse. On our heavy soil, we pulled three bottoms and on the lite soil four bottoms.

720/730s pulled a 5-14 trailer plow in the Mo. river bottoms, 4-14 about everywhere else including gumbo but about this slow. Ya made better time with 3-16 mounted in gumbo, but a 145 semi mount gave you enough weight transfer to practically leave the 3-16 where you found it. If you had one keep it, if you didn't don't buy one. 68 is all I ever heard of one pulling with the rack wide open.

How did you get 77 HP from it

[@denniscurless904]

Are you pulling 12 inch or 14 inch bottom plows?

[@herbhouston5378]

I think just a tad faster and it would roll that sod better.

[@dougstohlmann7726]

+Herb Houston I would agree, however 4 bottoms in that heavy clay is all the ol' 730 wants!

[@MegaPathogen]

Heavy clay? compared to what we got here in the hills of northwest Illinois that looks like black gold! I would have kicked her up a gear and made that Poppin Johnny earn his reputation.

[@kenhampshire4996]

Couldn't pull a 4 bottom any faster. We used 3-16's on our 730 and it did a wonderful job.

[@thomasr.miller5553]

Wish you would have put a wind sock over the mike. that noise ruins the classic jonny poper sound. love old tractors..2016.

[@sequoyah59]

Needs to plow deeper. The top of the frame is still showing.

2735 john dear

[@antonioferrari40]

El arado está mal regulado. La tierra queda despareja y el tractor trabaja recargado.

[@bobg.9585]

One Cylinder!!!!!

[@PlutoSLAM]

+joe carr "One" cylinder??? Sounds like a normal John Deere two-cylinder to me. I grew up on those two-cylinder John Deere tractors, but maybe I'm missing what you're actually commenting about?

[@jcastleman11]

Nice rig, tractor wheels are set a little too wide.

[@lfeco]

Could move the plow to the right a couple of holes on the hitch.

[@bobocaterpillar3697]

you need some rear wheel weights on the old girl, you wouledn't BELIEVE how much more grip you get!!

[@herbhouston5378]

A little faster and it would roll over better.

[@MegaPathogen]

I agree, he should have gone up a gear and made that Popping Johnny earn his reputation! I think he was afraid to make that pretty boy work for his keep.

[@RJ1999x]

MegaPathogen it would earn it's reputation and fail

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

A D17 would not pull that same plow any better in that same field. He ain't pulling it hard, there is no black smoke.

[@charlietanner6211]

that pop pop need,s ihc plow better job 1 gear faster
