now you gotta figure 706/806.... 3010/4010 came out about te same time, before that these damn glow plugs vs lets go chase a flywheel into the woods.
So 1960 and 1963 are about the same time, except they aren't, and a 806 ain't a 4020, which came out in 1963 also. A few thousand farmers at the time said so, and chose the green one. Most the perks of the video starting this thread, like dedicated hydraulics for steering, wide operator platforms, except a more than two cylinder engine, were available from Deere starting with the 1953 introduced first numbered series (50, 60, 70 and 80).
*Actually, quite a few thousand. Sales of John Deere 4020's alone out sold the entire 06 line-up. They did sell/produce them longer, until 1972, but sales of other Deere tractors, such as the 4000 (same engine and frame, 3020 rear end), and 4320 (same tractor, turbo charged engine), no doubt hurt sales of 4020's, if that was possible.
Red ones did use negative ground. That was a option Deere should have used.
