Feeding with the 420 Utility and Wagon
Kyle Weber
Although I use the feeder to feed (which enables for a safe one-person job), sometimes it's fun to be able to use the other classic tractors for a bit too. Due to the feeder using hydraulics, some of the other machines do not work with the feeder. Because of this, we sometimes have to use the wagon.
The wagon is old and warn out, yes. Again, I don't use it very often. It's also harder to use as it's a two-man job.
In this video I use a John Deere 420 Utility with under exhaust tractor. It's a fun little tractor, and it has a surprisingly good amount of power given its age and size. The 420 was a very good selling machine for Deere, as they were very versatile and met the Deere standard for reliability.
In this video we're feeding the beef cattle, which contain the spring calves, as well as the herd which is a mix of Hereford and Angus cattle.
For those interested, the John Deere 420 is the successor to the model M. It went the model M, then 40, 420, 430 (with a few other variations such as the Detroit Diesel 2-53 John Deere 435). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnkzArGjkIQ
