Deere 4020 Mini Built For A Good Cause
 ✖  |
At the 2023 Greater Peoria Farm Show, Don Miske of Allenton, Wis., displayed a miniature John Deere 4020 tractor he built that will make a difference for the nonprofit group Fellowship of Christian Farmers. The group shares on their website they’re an “organization at the intersection of faith and farming. Through their dedicated mission trips to Romania and Mexico, they plant the seeds of hope and faith within farming communities worldwide.”
Miske says the 4020 model holds a special place for him because his dad bought a new Deere 4020 in 1965. Miske was inspired to create his miniature when he saw one at a Mecum auction. That’s also where he purchased the 1965 Deere 110 used to make the mini 4020.
This miniature Deere 4020 is the third he’s made. He takes Deere 110 garden tractors and converts them to scratch-built 4020s. It takes two 110s to make one miniature masterpiece.
On the front of the miniature 4020, Miske placed a logo saying “In God We Trust” with the patriotic and religious logo of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers. The little tractor is painted to a high gloss sheen and is ready for its new home.
