This video could be an example for a John Deere infomercial... voice and the way of explaining things is pretty good and professional and allows a laymen to get inside into tractors in general but also into the john deere specific mechanics.. I would strongly suggest that John Deere contacts you to do some of these for there new models giving you the opportunity to also use the newest farm equippment..

Not sure if you're going to see this because the video is so old. I saw a video a while ago by someone on the 4055 series and I think if it makes it easier to get in and out, you can rotate the steps 45* so you don't have to step-around the door to get in. Not 100% sure on this but thought I would let you know.
@cameronnalley31974 жыл бұрын
Mike I’ve got a question for you. I know on the new R series to swap between 540 and 1000 all u have to do is flip the shaft. On most tractors you have to flip the shaft and move a lever or a button in the cab. I bought a Deere 6330 which is almost identical to your 6420 and there’s no lever or anything like that and I’m wondering if mine has the 1000 shaft option. Do u just flip it and go or if you have the 1000 shaft is there a lever or something there to shift?

i never got stuck in a tractor, and i have worked on farms and in industry, mostly as a mecanic since 1978,,, in 2002 i was askd to mount some gear cald autolevel of the bucket on a big wheel loader to make it easyer to set it in right position to scrape snow-dirt, without digging in to the ground,, all went as planned until i should turn it off after testing.. i had to read the manual more than an hour to figure out that TO STOP IT YOU HAD TO PUT YOUR FOOT UNDER THE THROTTLE PEDAL AND PULL UP!!!!!!! on older tractors that (missd) the stop button, you could just set it in high gear and release the clutch and stall it.. but that dont work on a maskine-wheel loader-truck with converter. haha

What amount of equipment would it take to run 12,800 acres of cattle and hay? thx
@OurWyomingLife7 жыл бұрын
wow, thats a good question. Its kinda hard to tell without knowing about your terrain, the amount of cattle or the amount of hay ground. A good start would be a loader tractor for feeding and other ranch duties. You will also need a way to cut and bale hay. A mower or swather of some sort and a baler. I would take a look around at the neighbors, see what they are running and never be afraid to ask for advice. They have been doing it, they will know what works and what doesn't. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching. -Mike

Never the less, I enjoy your videos and being an old farm boy at heart, I see things every now and again that stirs the ole memory bank and brings a smile to a wrinkled old face.

Dumb question I'm sure but are your brakes air powered or fluid powered? I thought that with the air seat they would also be air powered.
@OurWyomingLife7 жыл бұрын
Hi Logan, no dumb questions. They are actually fluid powered. Most everything is, except for the air ride seat. Suspension on the front tires is also hydraulic. One of the nice things that I didnt explain in the video and might during haying is that you can control braking from one side of the tractor to the other in order to help with turning as well. Pressing just the left brake can help in making an easier corner turning left for example. Great question, thanks for watching! -Mike

Hey John, hope all is well. I have had a few issues but nothing major. The 6420 is filled with sensors and monitors and most of the problems I've had with it have been the sensor itself.
