Classic Silage 2024 - 7740, 6640, 4610 - Mighty Ford/New Holland Fleet 

Yes totally loved seeing this one. Just seeing the old stuff still doing proper work is brilliant.

Glad you enjoyed it, still some great old school fleets on the go.

Glad you enjoyed it! This was one of the highlights of our collection so far. Seeing anything 2WD is unusual these days on a harvester. The wee 4610 tops it for me, just something so different.

2wd foraging reminds me of that Fiat nr you David 👍

@@crimsonsunshine264 Ah yes, remember it well. The 2wd 100-90 is still on the farm but since they got a bigger forager it’s now been demoted to rowing up. Pity because it was a great chopping tractor. Cheers, David.

Wow wow that’s amazing video no massive payments there

Glad you enjoyed it, there's plenty of the big stuff around these parts but have no interest filming it. Blink and you miss it anyway and everything's done in a few hours

Glad you enjoyed it! Please subscribe for plenty more old school videos coming.

Thanks a lot! Loved the 4610 too, the real highlight.

Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching. Plenty more old school fleets coming soon.

Thanks, a lovely setup!

Glad you enjoyed it! It's one of the best setups we've seen in a while too. A lot of narrow roads and gates around here means there's always a place for the old trailed harvesters.

Your right, a beauty! Really nice to see something like that still doing a job

@@OldSchoolNI Had a 4600 Fritzmeier cab and 4000 Fieco cab years ago. They were powerful performers for their size back in the day.. 4610 here is alittle Gem..

It sure is! Love a good Fraser. The green with blue always a good looking combination

Thanks for watching! We love seeing this sort of fleet too. Not sure on the hours but very well looked after. A real highlight of the year for us.

@@tonymckeage1028 thanks for watching!

Thanks very much - triggering memories of the good old days is why we do this! Feel free to share with others who would enjoy our channel. Did you drive 2wd or 4wd?

It was a 4wd, a replacement for a Leyland 802

Nice, I've footage coming soon of a Marshall 802 at silage last year

Looking forward to seeing it

Glad you enjoyed - it definitely seemed well setup, was going really well.

Thanks for watching! What was the 7610 - 2WD or 4? They are worth some ££ these days.

@OldSchoolNI Both, originally an 1984 2wd with an AP cab and later a 4wd 85 model with SQ cab ( which we still have!)

Thanks as always Paul - 4610 was definitely unexpected! Seeing the 2 x 40 series together was like something off a promotional leaflet from the 90s.

Danke fürs zuschauen!

Thanks for watching. Please subscribe for more content coming soon!

@@OldSchoolNI Ok thank you I subscribed kisses nice

Sure does! Seems to be fit for it alright.

@@johnplatt8369 thanks very much! One of the nicest weve seen too. 4wd was a neighbour helping out just.

I'm sure that could be arranged for next cut! :)

Well I don't know how I could go about payment, depending on how close you are maybe go for a drink and cash in pocket 🤣,,,, was the hill behind in the distance the black mountains by any chance

Lovely, they are a great wee tractor. Thanks for watching!

Very true sir, wild money involved and there's much less appeal to video that stuff. I'd take this fleet any day of the week. This was proper old school where neighbours help each other. The best.

Brings me back forty years when we spent all summer cutting silage, then things just kept getting bigger, we picked up 500 acres in two and a half days this may and gave the contractor enough money to buy a whole set up like this and will have to give him the same again before the year is out. I would love to be back at it again but it’s all about time and we haven’t got enough as it is, back then we would give this lad and that lad a dig out when something broke and they would come to our rescue when we were in bother, now the contractor arrives with a couple of million quids worth of gear and his own diesel lorry and does in an hour what we might have done in a very long,very good day. Maybe we have all gone too big, too much stock, too big of machines and far to much debt, back in the day if you wanted a new tractor you bought it and payed for it now they want us to buy everything on the never never( more tax efficient they say) but it means you can buy stuff that you may not really need just because you can. Back in the day you only bought a 4wd if you were going to plough the side of a mountain or a bottomless bog , 2wd would do the job 99% of the time and did. For Pete’s sake our scraper tractor is 4wd , total over kill but it’s old and worth very little and it does the job and it is not really worth replacing it with a 2wd more sensible one because that’s going to be an expensive replacement, so it can work away until it dies! Thinking about it, it might not be to long until it has to be replaced she clocked up 25000 hours over the weekend !

@@Andy-ix2ox yea I understand, the chap I work for has some nice kit, but even now with tractors that would boss a week of lifting grass he still gets the self propelled contractor in 🤣,, he has a 4x4 on a scraper also 😜,,, and X2 jd 6215R's, it's like driving a big ride on lawn mower I tell him... Nothing like the old days of a nice tw15 or a Renault 145-14 etc etc,, god I miss it so badly,, but yea time is money and if you really want to get on then sadly the bigger newer kit is a must,, back in the day accros 1000 acres you would have had 7 farms, now it's about 1 to 2,,, and even then it's not easy to make it work,, it's gone mad
