Tractor Time! Operating the John Deere 4520 on the farm.

that's oh the tracker john deere self agree this is a 2006 John Deere 45:20 it's got the 400 X front bucket or ports on it and we have an MX 6 there's a six-foot push dog back there behind us so this is a four cylinder turbo diesel it's either 53 or 63 horsepower I can't remember I bought it used we just got in early 2019 it had two hundred eighty hours on it or up to almost three hundred and eighty so it's been a really good tracker it's got the ad tires there are one got it a little bit of damage you broke that filling it up a couple things but it's pretty good good tracker we like it we were originally looking at like a little one series there basically I call it a glorified riding mower the 25 horsepower those are good for a lot of people out here we have big stuff we've gotta move the front pasture here is 2 acres we needed a bigger bush hog it really even be nice to have like an 8-footer but we're working with what we got here there's Apollo I was working on if you were watching it on our pan the other day track going around this is what we were doing I pushed over that far tree way over there and called a bunch of it up here this is going to be a bonfire out here pretty beat one being holder on it this could be I would throw down there I'll do a quick run down there some that's got a little knob on it free easy easy turning this is the forward and reverse this is the power reversal remodel so it's not hydrostatic it's got a three range transmission a neutral beat gear and see gear one two three four in neutral and all of them here's your speech chart so if we're gonna beat for right now wide open we've been doing just under six miles an hour for player five point eight there's a throttle over here for down here full throttle brakes this is connected brakes or you can look this up and the rear tires brake independently rear pto engage so if we're mo and I pull that up that would snap this to life here and it starts spinning the gearbox on the mower over here we have the three-point up and down so we can lower our mower or disc bring it back up and I don't remember what the capacity is on this for lift I know we're at 3400 pounds for the bucket on the front or right now we got Forks on this is pretty easy this is up-down [Applause] then this is dump you're dumping the bucket push it out and that will sit down pull it towards you that lifts up please straightforward pretty easy all right here about that and it just puts you in whatever you're in so we're in b4 which is a fun week normally leave it on out here I want to go to neutral just bump it here we will reverse bump it here it's got a clutch so we can go from third gear or fourth gear down the third fourth we can't switch ranges unless we're stops well that's that's the basics of it it's pretty pretty simple a lot of people are scared to drive a tractor so not really a whole lot to it this is a great tracker this got the parking brake here four-wheel drive pull that and now we're in four-wheel drive change low gear medium high that was again here so we're in B for right now wide open throttle be five point eight miles now if we were in a c4 we'd be doing seventeen point three if you really want to pull go down to a put it in a one that's gonna give you one mile an hour wide open which is amusing I think it's 50 horse I can't remember that's a good big tractor yeah we've got the big wheels on it a knobby it's mostly off-road we don't really take it on the road much here's the mx6 pretty straightforward so here that's the rear PTO it's the only PTO which is power take-off so and that's engage that spins this rotates and that gets this gear in here going and spins this blade and it just basically pulverizes everything these little sticks awesome s1 yesterday we pushed that tree over got all the stuff out of here we're trying to reclaim this front pasture planted bougainvillea is up there we'll do a drive-by those who grow up and throw flowers pretty flowers so that'll kind of make it private and then once that gets up people can't see in from here we're going to take all the Brazilian pepper out over there so we can see from our house into this front pasture and see you know we have the animals up here horses and cows whatever if we put our goat whiskey we're trying to decide we're gonna fix whiskey or keep them and keep them separate keep them separate and this would be a good place with a bill a little port form out here make it for whiskey or something yesö I got the Clippers on here from when we were just clipping yeah here's the controls for the bucket up front and that because it's weight coming down it'll come back down but that's down dump or lift i've got your lights and your flashers throttle we went over all that and this is removable the 400x there's all the disconnects and it sits on this and the bucket here if we were switching back to the bucket we'd take these off dump the forks here and switch it right on over it's a little banged up this when we bought this the guy had to pick it this up with his he had a bobcat with a grapple arm and he kind of bent that for us but that's alright some tracker so yeah we put 100 hours on it to change the oil very easy change the oil on here here's the filter the hood we could lift up the air cleaner it's very easy to work on this leans forward there's a little thing there this goes up and you can access everything for the plugs or whatever you need to work on in there we ever really had to do much it's a young track but even though it's a 2006 we've got your rear oil fill here no that's for a hydraulic trans actual oh we got a pole bar here so if this hitting on we take this off sometimes you just have to pull these pins here this pin there that one over there and you can leave this for not using it but it's been raining here so we've been using it a lot and it's kind of a pain to line this up with one person so I leave it on here and it balances us out so if I'm lifting something heavy there I don't have to worry about this adds the weight in the back let's forget how much is this weighs five or six hundred pounds so that gives us a little bit more stability when we're doing stuff with the front with the back skid on there we got a basket that goes on there so we can put up and we chainsaw it around here and that basket up front probably not really something that's kind of frowned upon but I guess you could say Jeff nice big tires I had a flat on one of them but we used a ratchet strap tighten it around there put it on grease points we just hit these grease points every so often with the grease gun some here some one there one there one here here here and there's one down here behind the wheel and the axle grease all the little grease points there's some back here it's just stuff you want to do we check oil there's a little oil fill right there for the gear for the mx6 there's some oil points in here and there's then we check oil every time for cranker out make sure you go over there oh that's that's it basically everything here the seat moves around this controls the speed in which the three-point goes up and down here's your rear differential lock so if you need to walk out the tires if they're one spin the others not that's the clutch yeah everything's pretty straightforward parking brakes on get up here key turn that on that heats the go plugs we're already hot because we've been moving around fires up his tracker idols and right around a thousand I think it's supposed to be 950 I can break down 4th gear forward I pull the forks up so I can see that they're not gonna be digging that's it if we were gonna mow let's do this I put I'm going I'm in b2 that's that middle here to second gear and we'll come over here throw some throttle you can see here that's our rated PTO speed of 540 rpm you can see we're engaged we've got a lot of fuel trackers warm spinning I generally go a little slower that's why we're in b-24 motion still get some Goods because our throttles up that's basically it drive around out here if you like they do not like me and water named sweetie I don't know tracker people we're no idle down just a tad bit I thought I had to do that day so we're clear back in neutral disengage the PTO bring her Prada back down so you get a pretty good cut I sharpen those blades so I just take a little paddle blade on the grinder and sand those off a little bit I need to get out your mo but we got some water rain pretty bad yesterday and trim these down these are I forget what they're called but there are legumes so they do it's a nitrogen fixer but I'm gonna head back up get back to work so this just slips our back back up is that up in the air back forward back be for four-wheel gauge is not engaged poor wheel drive is not engaged and then we'll just putz back up to the house that's it I mean it's a big machine but it's pretty straightforward easy to use it's basically got a built-in cruise control so we're disking or mowing you can just whatever you set it at it's going out here I didn't need to get out here mo but that's not today's project hopefully it's audio turned out all right the audio doesn't turn out all right it's probably just gonna get deleted go check on Allison she's going with the zero turn and probably robbed another beer yeah we need to clear all this pull these Brazilian peppers out and run Fitz up here got a weed eat around the ponds clean this up some more that's all today Saturday that's what we do that's all - you can't just spend 20 minutes out here do a quick mode with the push mower you think everything takes all day seems like like it'll take forever all the time we enjoy it it's just something that we that's where we see the Gator and a fish and the carpet ultimately but
