What I grew up on at the home farm 7000 5000 and 4000 we had, the uncle cut his own silage ran a 9500 on the double chop in the 90s,This vid takes me back to them times lovely to see 😎great footage beautiful farm n scenery
I love the video u have up of a MF135 driving a big red rake rowing grass for the Baler brilliant keep up the videos evenflow very well made and edited and great fun great advertisements for Heineken 😎😉😉😉
Excellent. Back in the 80's I remember as a young lad our contractor had a Ford 7700 on a Taraaup double chop and a Fritzemeir cab 6600 drawing in. On the long draw from rented silage ground about 4 miles away we fell in drawing with our Fritzemeir cab 4600. Our Fieco cabbed 4000 on the buckrake. Seeing a 4 pot Turbo 7000 on the chopper and the 4000 carting reminded me off those good ol days.
We had a international 885xl cutting with a tarrup double chop an ursus crystal drawing and a mf50b bucking up used to cut with my neighbour 25 yrs ago we always got the silage cut dry great memories like yourself with the fords we had 40 cows each not many dairy farms of that size left now
I have very similar memories great old days now the men never leave the tractor cabs 10 acres an hour We used to cut 10 acres per day Great memories for sure
they should have put the 8370 on the chopper, more pleasant environment for the driver. The joys of being in a 7000, with a rattling tin cab and all the engine and gearbox heat - nice !
7610 we had. 2 wheel drive. Pulled better than 6320 🤣 stirring mainly but done the odd bit on the dung trailer. Driven other fords similar but my memory is rubbish 😂 Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
The 7000 on the harvester looks geniune with its exhaust close to the cab, the 7000 on the trailer looks like it's got an engine and bonnet similar to a 7810, notice the exhaust is out close to the front, tidy conversion all the same.
@millarcontracts better again, no risk of the block going porous and with the rotary injector pump you have a decent power to weight ratio. Nice to see a decent customised tractor.
Great video.I never saw a 7000,,6 cyl but a contractor in Tipperary had 3 ford 7400,,,,6 cyl back in 1978. Has anyone ever seen a ford 7400? there were only 32 ever in Ireland..
McGees used to buy new 6600 fords, sell the 4 cylinder engines and fit 6 cylinder engines and sell them as 7400. Contractors bought them for trailed silage harvesters.
McGees of Ardee beside me here, closed down in 1983. Brought home a 1974 5000 dual power from Scotland a couple of years back brilliant tractor with original engine..keep up the good work lads
