More proof that the Leyland tractors were, still are and always will be good tractors as well as somewhat ahead of their time back when you could still buy them new. Grandparents had a 2400+ acre farm and they transitioned from Farmall to Leyland starting in the early 1970's and those tractors were still in use up until my Grandfather's passing in 2006 in the upper midwest in the USA which meant dealing with extreme cold to extreme heat and humidity in the summer. Looks like I may now have an opportunity to get my hands on a 255 w/cab for possible restore project and seeing this helps a lot. COOL video and thanks for posting this! :-)
Thank you we really like our Leylands the first Leyland we had was a 270. I always wanted a 6cyl so I bought myself a 285 thats the one in this video. Leylands and a very underestimated tractor with great traction for field work. If you like seeing leylands working subscribe to my channel and you won’t miss out I have a few videos of them working.
It's interesting looking at that. Although much maligned, that design of the Leyland is well ahead on the Ford. No exhaust or big pre cleaner up through the bonnet, a slimmer roof, leading to a higher windscreen & better vision.
Great video. its a pity about the 2 knob heads driving the poor ford's like idiots on the bumpy ground going in to the 2nd field.good way to dislodge the axle berrings
The leylandii is well able to drive the precision harvester and s big row of grass going into her class video guys greetings from Ireland P,S, That 2 fords are in pristine condition too lovely rig all together 😎
Used a 717 on a john deere 2130 needed it all big upgrade to a john deere 3140 at least 4 acres a day more from 12 acres to 16 trailer behind harvester
@@MASSYMADMAN they were wonderful days, I wish we could all go back, a 6600 is about 75 I think, the next tractor I would love to see on your new holland would be a tw10, no turbo,, just the straight 126hp,, would give the layland something to chase 😂
