SV, I enjoy your posts. I'm always amazed at the work and the weight and the duals and the power you get out of
your John Deere 3020.
This week I got my ol' 3020 started after not using or running it for about three years. I pulled a seven shank
chisel plow (spear points, not sweeps). Ground was dry and hard, kinda like a concrete parking lot. I'm in
south central Texas and temperature here has been running about 90.
Using the tac, I was running about 3 mph in third gear. Today, I went to fifth gear (dont ask about fourth, I
think its in the bottom of the tranny case) and was running almost the same speed - 3 to 3 1/2 mile per hour.
This afternoon I hooked onto my John Deere model 210??? disc (a 13' I think) and broke up some of the clods.
I love the sound of that four cylinder engine working. Reminds me of as a kid, sitting on the axle housing of a
Farmall Regular riding with my dad when he was plowing.
Just letting you know I admire your posts and pictures. Thanks for postings & pictures. kelly
