The John Deere Model
M
Tractor
The
John Deere
Model M tractor was first released in 1947 Fitted
with a vertical 2-cylinder all-square 4" x 4" gasoline engine of
20 hp, it was designed to replace the
John Deere
Model "H," John Deere Model "L," and
John Deere Model "LA" . Fitted with John Deere's Touch-O-Matic
hydraulics, it was initially a standard 4-wheel tractor of
modern design, with electric starting as standard, as was its
PTO. More than 20 integral implements were offered for use with its
QuikTatch hitching system. Lighting and a belt pulley were optional extras. The
styling was the same as used on the larger
row-crop tractors.
John Deere's Touch-o-matic
John Deere's Touch-o-matic The word itself tells the magic story of time and
muscle saved by John Deere's Model "MT" tractor
owners in handling their many farming jobs. A touch of the operator's hand to the
handy control lever and smooth hydraulic power raises, lowers, or sets Quik-Tatch
tools to the exact working depth desired—automatically.

.Stubborn lifting levers,
depth-adjusting levers, and trip ropes are done away with completely.
Advantages of
Touch-o-matic
Owners report
that Touch-o-matic
control is
"tops" from
every
standpoint:
• It is fast and positive in action—hydraulic
pump is at the front of the engine where it operates whenever the
engine is running.
• It enables you to do things that are impossible in other light tractors. For instance,
operators in the Western vegetable-growing sections are enthusiastic about the dual control
feature which provides perfect delayed-lift for the new Quik-Tatch vegetable cultivator designed
especially for the "MT" Tractor.
The desired depth of planting, cultivating, and fertilizing is more evenly maintained on terraces, back furrows, or in dead furrows because right- and
left-hand gangs can be operated at different depths. |

• One of the best features of all
is the outstanding ease with which the
control unit can be removed for
servicing if necessary. The Touch-omatic
ssembly attaches to the tractor by means of
easily accessible bolts. If service difficulties are
encountered in the field, a phone call brings the
dealer with a service kit. Valuable working time is saved
for the owner.

John Deere Quik-Tatch
With any tractor used for general-purpose farm work, it
is important that changes from one job to another be made
quickly and easily. The matched integral tools designed for the
John Deere
"MT" Tractor are called Quik-Tatch to describe the remarkable
ease and speed with which one man can attach and remove them.
When you see a John Deere Model "MT" Tractor being
demonstrated, you will see plows, cultivators, and many
other tools attached and detached so quickly you will hardly believe
it possible. When attaching plows, listers, field cultivators, etc., merely back the tractor
into the equipment. Height of drawbar is quickly and accurately adjusted by Toucho-
matic control to match the hitch point on the equipment. No wrenches needed.
No hammer. No heavy lifting. You stay right in the tractor seat. To detach, all that
is necessary is to pull the pin and drive ahead. Tractor is free for other jobs. Most
Quik-Tatch tools require no levers, main frame, wheels, axles, clutch, or cushion spring release

John Deere 4020
Based on Deere's philosophy of constantly improving
product, even if it is already the best available, the 3010
and 4010 were updated in 1963 to become the John Deere 3020 and
4020. Increased in power, but most importantly given the
Power-Shift transmission option and a hydraulic power
differential lock, the performance of these tractors was dramatically improved. |
