Named after a Mack truck and my favorite number, I started this channel originally to be able to make videos about the different things that I would randomly do with vehicles. I then began to gather more farm equipment, and now mainly upload farming videos where I'm either helping out/doing stuff for my neighbors or custom farming! I post videos AT LEAST monthly, varying in content type based on the season…
Would’ve been better. I’ve got a 3 bottom moldboard but I was concerned that tractor wouldn’t have what it took to run it deep enough in that hard ground to do a nice job
That Ole girl just keeps on pulling and giving you some good service and getting the ground worked with little fuss. I've always liked the David Brown tractors and own several of the case models made by David Brown.
@@superliner101hobbyfarming yea I've learned they are some of the most economical tractors ever made. When I used to grind my hog feed with a 766 international I would burn 25+ gallons of fuel to grind 18 ton of feed and now I'm burning 15-16 grinding the same amount of feed with my 1394 case. Just a simple reliable tractor for what I need
that does look some tuff land to get that through , that is a good old David Brown , i have never seen a Lely Chisel plough before , but it looks a solid machine , it may just be a sticker on something else , I wonder if its sort of a home made chisel plough with some old Lely frame perhaps
@@superliner101hobbyfarming understood , perhaps there is a part number on a tine or one of the points that may help , you may be able to look up that and see what it fits , just a thought
When I was around twelve and thirteen I would work all day in the field loading bales of hay onto the truck to make money to spend during the summer. Enjoyed watching!
You really screwed that field up! You will never get it leveled out, you’re going to need a tuff butt to stay in the seat on that field for the rest of time!!
not nice to run him down for having a go with the kit he has managed to get , yes needs ploughing but he will still get a seed bed with some disc work and perhaps chisel plough a bit deeper on a second pass , he says its a hobbyfarming
Good day from Ontario Yes thinking back we had 7 tooth on 55 hp Shallower 1st to break hard pan, deeper 2nd time Boy I really like JD fenders Maybe should have been mole board plough??? not sure Thx
I probably should have moldboard plowed it, guess I was too stubborn and wanted to chisel it lol. Yea I think the JD fenders look better than the original clam shells
@@superliner101hobbyfarming Yes by far on fenders. Well if u chisel it 2nd time try go a little deeper or smoother it should work Up here we fall plough 1 yr didn't gert finished froze spring plough wow no good, not mositur
...imagine busting that sod with a mule and a one bottom plow! Keep a peerson out of trouble I guess...there would be no heading to the tavern after a full day of that...the mule wouldn't feel much like partying either...
Those little CASE VAC's were good little tractors much more power than rated for and are still sought after today not just show and collector tractors but everyday field use tractors because they are that good.
No sir, that is probably the only 1200 around with those fenders because they are actually John Deere fenders I painted white and put on. Tractor had clam shell style fenders on it originally and I prefer the look of the flat tops
They are John Deere fenders that would’ve been on like a 4020 or a 3010 for example. I didn’t like the clam shell type fenders the tractor had originally
That's a really good looking David Brown your running. Missed a chance at one on our local equipment lot and I really wish I'd have stopped in a little quicker. If you ever decide to sell it be sure you let all your fans know first
We’ve been more than happy with it. Good cheap horsepower and reliability. Hardly burns any fuel. Always starts no matter how cold. Never had a single major issue just little things like had to replace the water pump once, ect.
Standard op for old farm equipment; liquid wrench/torch/ BIG EFFING WRENCH. I pounded out some steel tube (4 ft.) to slide over the biggest open end wrenches I had. Use some wood under that hammer and you might save the threads.
...cool! the complete cycle! Lots of hay here, quality not great...the last cut is sitting in the fields, all wrapped...ground's saturated, hard to get to it without getting stuck. Found some good quality round bales this week, just cut and baled. Field was next to a gravel pit, ground is pretty rocky so it drains well. It went to a riding stable, and they were happy to get it! Other problem is, we're still recovering from this (May 2022)...if anybody can move hay they have few places to put it...but they have made major progress.
