SEE WHAT'S NEW IN USED

John Deere — not just a brand, but a symbol of American pride and tradition — has managed to find its way into various sectors of mainstream culture.   The symbolic fusion of green and yellow brings no other brand to mind and is one of the most common custom paint schemes of the cycle world.  Following a short excerpt with historical insight into the trend, you’ll find plenty visual evidence of such.

Chip Foose and team are digging into the enhancements of the John Deere 4020 tractor in this latest installment of the Big Buck 4020 webisode series.  We’ll be giving away the modified classic John Deere tractor to one lucky winner.  Follow the link for additional info and contest details: John Deere Big Buck Sales Event.

In this video Chip Foose gives us a walk-through of what he has in store for the classic John Deere 4020 tractor we’ll be giving away during the John Deere Big Buck Sales Event. Let us know in the comments what you think about his design concepts for customizing this John Deere 4020 tractor.

Tractors are more than a utility to those that use them. People take pride in the visual appearance of their tractors and many consider these formidable machines a piece of art in their own right. This is why, in the art world, artists often express themselves through form and function (we’re sure Chip Foose would agree).

Scouring the web for examples of such, we were surprised to find so many used tractors being utilized for art. We hope you enjoy this collection of 30 tractor-related artworks. Whoever said art and tractors don’t mix?

While there aren’t any official John Deere Lego sets, as evidenced by the images below, there’s no shortage of John Deere fanatics with Legos. Ranging from complicated Lego Technic John Deere models with movable parts to simple John Deere lawn tractors formed with traditional Lego pieces, each of these creations required an affection for our products and a good deal of creativity.

Most of our readers have likely taken notice of the John Deere Big Buck Sales Event, a promotion featuring the giveaway of a Chip Foose-modified John Deere 4020 Tractor and 3 John Deere Gator utility vehicles. Another incentive specific to this promotion is 0% financing for 48 months on any new John Deere purchase.

For those of you living under a rock, unfamiliar with the legendary Chip Foose, here is a short biography detailing his accomplishments along with some images and a video pertaining to the contest and providing some background on the John Deere 4020 tractor. Any questions you may have concerning the contest, please leave them in the comment form below and we’ll be happy to provide you with any further details.

Brian Holst, Heritage Marketing Group Manager for John Deere, gives us a tour of an original 4020 tractor that has never left the factory. He walks us through the specs of model 4020 as well as how modern 4020’s have changed over time.

We think our readers will really enjoy the images we’ve included for this post. From an old John Deere-authored book — The Operation, Care and Repair of Farm Machinery — we’d like to thank the Flickr account responsible for making these available online. Tom left these notes:

Scanned from “The Operation, Care and Repair of Farm Machinery”, Tenth Edition, published by John Deere, Moline, Illinois. There was no date in the book.

With a bit of research, we discovered that the edition featured below, the 10th, was published in 1936. The 1st edition made its debut on shelves in 1927 with the last edition, the 28th, published in 1957.

We are honored and excited to bring you updates about the John Deere Big Buck promo event.  The legendary Chip Foose is designing a classic 4020 Tractor found right here on Machinefinder.com and here is your chance to win.  Don’t forget that we will also be giving away 3 Gators and there is 0% financing for 48 months on all models.

We’ll be following the process of how this classic John Deere tractor undergoes the Chip Foose transformation.  Here are some initial shots, including a video with  a few more details. I hope you’re all as excited about this promotion as we are; we can’t wait to see what Foose has in store for this John Deere 4020 tractor.
