It is indeed. i wanted to get a shot before they rip down the silo wich is already torn down as of 3 days ago. The barn is taken down as well. I though it was a good spot for the pciture. so i took it.

How many mowing accounts do you have to be able to afford that? Sorry off topic but I figured I'd ask.

Man, that's cool. My farmer buddy is always buying and working on older John Deere tractors. Tries to buy them cheap, spend a year or so getting them running, and then uses them on the farm or just for fun. Good hobby to have.

i got about 25 but the reason i got it was, that a farmer buddy of mine retired and was selling it cheap an i always wanted it i got it for $3000

Wow, you got a heck of a deal on that thing. Even a really rough 4020 diesel will usually bring $4-5k.

uuuuhhhhhh where are you finding them for $4-5K?

Look anywhere such as tractorhouse or internet and you are looking at 8K for a piece of junk and up to $12-13K for a diesel in good shape!

I'm talking really rough early build 4020s. I sell farm equipment for a living and that's what they'll bring. $8k maybe for a rough later 4020. $10-15k for a nicer original later model. $20-30k for a completely restored show quality 4020.

TractorHouse prices are asking prices. You can find all sorts of high priced junk on there. Doesn't mean they'll actually get that much.

Totally agree....but you won't find a "good working" 4020 for much less then 8-10K.

I have NEVER seen one much less then 8K.

They are probably my favorite tractor and I will probably never have one just because why would I pay 8-10K for a tractor that is 40-50 years old with 10,000 hours when I can buy a 5 year old tractor with the same horse (better power) for $30,000 and that is for low house and a CAB!

I just bought a 6420 3 years ago for $32,000 and I love it! Pulled a 12 row planter with it for 3 years and it never lacked for any power!
