Workin the 4230

[@jbmbanter897]

The 4230 is a memory tractor for me. I had some health issues in the late 80s and went to my uncle's farm and started harrowing fire breaks in the planted pines. My uncle came to my rescue and created work for me so I love that tractor.

[@dmcc4286]

Man they are great. We love the 30 and 40 series DEERE’s.

[@whitehd01]

dont care what anyone says...thats a nice low hour clean tractor

[@txlonghaul21]

i remember the first one of those 4230 i rode on as a kid good memories and a great machine thanks wes for the videos

[@travisjames1400]

our 4230 has over 12,000 hrs. power shift model

[@AlexSh154]

Sounds like a great tractor! Love the roar of that thing.

[@BaybrookEnterprises]

How can anyone not like your 4430!? That is a sweet machine !

[@mxer822]

4230

[@highcountrytimber]

This may be a really rare tractor! Nice score. Last tractor made in the Waterllo factory.

[@RidinGreen]

Wes, according to Tractor data dot com the fuel tank is 37 gallons. That model was made from 1973-1977. It's a nice tractor and the hours seem fairly llow for its age IMO.

[@Mainstream2087]

I have a 4040 with 5500hrs, that is a sweet machine. I love those tractors, great reliable machines.

[@NexLevelBacon]

Wes you can buy a secondary tank for that tractor and probably really cheap too. we have two tractors with secondary tanks on the front, its a real life saver when your tired from working long days you just open the fuel line when your main tank is empty and thats it. i dont know if you can get one for the series though.

[@dreeshaffer7092]

we have a 1973 4230 with 4 post canopy with 8800 hours still runs great

[@tomtomsolvic]

Damn Hells Angels raising hell at the end. lol

[@FarmallMan01]

The rain is the same up here in mass everyother day a showers passing through never can squeak in a hay harvest without keeping 1 eye to the sky at work

[@fergie35X]

Love the tractor - engine sounds great.

[@finley795]

The one bike at the end almost ate shit lol

[@Petro-1986]

Wes you did well for $13k, A true low hour tractor for a collector is less than 1500, but those are rare. I would say for the year, yes it is a low hour tractor for less than 3000 hours. I see a lot of these around 5-8k hours.

[@wgberg]

Excellent tractor. When I was growing up this would have been the big tractor on the farm. Do the tires have fluid in them? You would think it would be able to pull even a big load up those hills. That is unless the camera dosn't show how steep the grade is. Thanks!!!

[@Northern_Farmer]

love that new ashpalt. Goes good with green lol

[@Ghostrider2999]

thats good looking iron, some of those older tractors are better than brand new that everyone claims to need to be like the jones or some crap like that. keep the vids going.

[@bigwheelsrollin6565]

That is some nice original paint.

[@halfpintranch2700]

nice tractors , hard to beat the 30, 40 and 50 series John Deeres

[@jakecrum7118]

That baby would be perfect with a sound guard cab. We have one

[@karjack11]

nice tractor, and sounds great!

[@Tristan102100]

4:15 our jd301-a is only a 40 some odd horsepower tractor but if you wind her up to 3000 rpm's she will pull anything you can hitch 'er up to!

[@alexhess4925]

You have a nice 4230

[@anthonysteely899]

At least you treat yours good like most people do

[@NexLevelBacon]

best $200 we ever spent on a tractor was that front fuel tank for a 4240

[@allied1394]

That's just the right size for your needs

[@Nagelefamilyfarms]

Nice looking tractor!

[@BrandonTheling]

Don't worry what other people say about the tractor. It looks great and it does the job isn't that what counts?

[@rlashbrook6865]

Wes we had the rain last, wk now a wk of 90s , and sunny its headed your way.

[@Tf9500]

I have the sales flyer for the 4230 and it said the only tractor that could replace the 4020 would be another John deere no bigger just more power and this is that tractor the 4230

[@Tigersfan829]

Rain sucks...guess how many dozen ears of sweet corn we got out of our about 30 yards long and 8 rows wide corn patch...3 dozen.

[@VideosByAl]

Mount your camera on the bales facing forward. Then run the 4230 through the gears and back down to climb the hills. Get the black smoke too.

[@paulshawp]

I love it with kid company how they gonna learn Paul uk

[@Double0Decay]

I always hated the cabs they put on those along with the 4430 4440 4455 etc it feels like your driving a submarine I like the 4 post canopy cuz it keeps the sun off ya and you can still hear your thunderous 404 :)

[@Tf9500]

I always liked how my fan sounded when it was wound up

[@michaelpotter5714]

you should get a 4240 power shift

[@TheDisorderly1]

Them lance amstong guys crack me up.

[@MoNsTeRxRiOtZz]

From what i understand i think he uses the 4320, 4430, 4450, 7410, 7810, 8120 and then there's the 4010, 5020 and the 4320 but i don't know if they're used much

[@starks1414]

all those paved roads must be hard on tires

[@deereman6030]

I love johndeere and wish i had a few but i an kinda partial to my 1066's

[@JeffJamesoutdoors]

Don't you just love those KZbin experts?

[@mickeymouse12358]

sounds like a summer in ireland

[@casemanmxm125]

Nice find Wes!

[@CJPhillips6648]

can't go wrong with a DEERE.

[@RJ1999x]

that's hilarious

[@hanratty450]

It's a nice tractor. Everybody thinks they know everything because they read it on google

[@mickeymouse12358]

after 10 wet years great weather in Ireland for making hay

[@jrogers4802]

Put a turbo and injectors pump off of a 4440 on the 4230 and you'll get some good HP

[@kennethbailey2616]

How do you keep the birds from taking a dump on your tractor?

[@thomasmarbee6471]

guess what we couldn't do? go up the hill !! we couldn't !! lol

[@thecadester9286]

My grandpas 4440 looks like it has had a new pant job on it but I wax it a lot and we have a 4440 that is a very reliable tractor

[@mikdf80]

You should sell it to the guy in NY that collects low hour JD tractors. Machinery Pete just interviewed him on KZbin. Maybe you can make a few bucks...

[@tallishyeti2756]

Hey Wes. I'm looking at a 4230 with 4000 hours on it. It's got dual remotes in the back and it has the extra joystick and valves but no loader. Do you think 11,000 is a fair price?

[@dgr8zod]

Got a real deal on that rig ;)

[@wi11y1960]

Did tim come and help you up the hill with the red tractor? (adding insult to JD)

[@Rosskenpo1]

8430 for sale in NH I think this puppy would pull the weight!

[@dirkjenmn]

love the jd

[@acrousonelos]

+Ryan Parker No, because it doesnt have a cab or loader

[@JdFord30005000]

Was that the 60 with a grain drill in the background?

[@jackgriffin9847]

It is a nice tractor

[@8216justin]

we have a 4230 with 15k on it

[@highlightsbottleflipnbanfl1847]

That paper has also been painted.

[@HillDropCotton]

how do you think it compares to your 7410 as far as pulling. 2wd that is

[@ryanparker3941]

Wagner59270 wants this tractor I bet

[@MACHOMISTERYMAN]

nice vid as always! :)

[@JohnDeere318Guy]

runs nice

[@bigaricj]

Thumbs up.

[@MasseyFerguson3545]

Am behind on my hay to

[@morganterry6189]

Send some rain to Oklahoma please

[@tractorssledstoys]

we got 18 inches in three weeks drowned all our soy beans.

[@clearingbaffles]

1.5m*v*v (kinetic energy)was not enough to overcome mgh(potential energy); if you'd had more velocity you mighta made it, your rider slowed you down. lol n love ur channel

[@mitchcake125]

I love this video. We have a 4230 and that thing is a work horse. Never quits. You and everyone should check out my Instagram page and follow me at mitchcake

[@smokierspy]
