JD4020, how much interest is there?
« on: November 28, 2013, 03:59:55 PM »

In a recent post on this forum there seemed to be a bit of interest in the John Deere 4020 tractor in N-scale. I'm curious to see just how much interest there is among my fellow forum members so I can determine whether I should consider adding it to my vehicle line.

This is just an informal inquiry so I didn't think it needed to be an official poll.

I model 1971. Were they around back then?

EDIT: Never mind, I googled it, and I found out they were indeed around. Now, yes, I'd be interested in up to a dozen, depending on price.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

I'd be interested in a few, especially if they include the drag behind mower attachment.

What price would be your breaking point?

BTW, these will NOT be computer-generated (I'm CAD-challenged), they will be resin cast in appropriate colors or grey for those wanting to paint their models.

Daniel, I would need more information on the mower attachment to consider your request. Since I'm already in foreign territory with farm implements, a little help would be welcome.

Well it looks like they came out in 1960 and that is my cutoff date so I would be in for a few. Could make a good flat car load with some of these. I also did a Google search as Kiz and found out that they also had a four wheel drive version as well.

I grew up running these tractors. For those not in agriculture, the 20 series of JD tractors is one of the greatest series they produced. 4020s today garner far more than they originally cost. And they aren't just for collectors. These babies are still running and working hard on farms all over. They would be legit on any layout modeled post 1960+/- including today.

It seems that they were produced from 1963-1972. Gotta love a website called "tractor data": http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/0/6/64-john-deere-4020.html

I'd be interested in a bunch, and 9630s. Some IH 275s would be nice too.

I have a large grain elevator that is also a John Deere dealer for new and used equiptment so I would be in for two or more and any other farm equiptment you can come up with as long as it is something still in use.

I would be interested in a modern machine if produced.  The model discussed here is to old for my era, so I'd like to see a current model produced.
