Disking, dragging and planting a hayfield I cleared last spring.

Luv that sound of a 4020😊

[@rustyoldjunk]

Me too, they sound even better with a regular John Deere muffler instead of that tractor supply one that’s on there.

[@RobertKliethermes]

That tractor sounds like it's running really well, not missing a beat.

[@rustyoldjunk]

Yes it runs really good, has decent power. It sat for years before I got it but I think someone did some engine work before it was parked. Thanks for the comment

[@gleanerk]

Hey Mike enjoyed watching and riding on the 4020 !

[@rustyoldjunk]

Thanks for stopping in, Scott.

That was the first tractor my dad learned me to drive as a kid a 1969 and a half john Deere 4020 lol

[@rustyoldjunk]

That would’ve been a side counsel right? You must’ve been a happy kid.

[@davidthurmond9016]

@@rustyoldjunk it was a 8 speed console shift on the dash lol

Where are you? Tennessee? Great video.

[@rustyoldjunk]

Western Wisconsin. Might look like Tennessee though. Thanks.

Hi, I wondered if you would explain how you prepped you field step by step? Impliments used, etc.

[@rustyoldjunk]

The way we did it was to moldboard plow the field. I went over it with the disk at least twice, then again with a spike tooth drag harrow a couple times. Then drilled the oats and hay in with that old Case drill, then again once with the drag to cover any seeds on top. Old fashioned way but it works

[@davidwhisnant3230]

That is a frist never seen a case drill

[@rustyoldjunk]

I guess there’s a few around here. This one is single disk, not sure I like that. But it’s cylinder lift which is handy.
