MASSEY FERGUSON 4880 Tractor Plowing 

nothing more satisfying than watching a classic tractor doing traditional honest labor good old fashioned plowing , absolutely love it !

It is still impressive even after all these years and still going strong and no def or overhyped electronics

My neighbor 1 mile over had 2 4880s with straight pipes and used to work all night .those two tractors barking at the moon was music to my ears. Oddly enough I miss not hearing them anymore

Great tractor to this day! Also. Beautiful Illinois soil!

Loving the Massey videos! Amazing tractors

These classic iron videos make John Deere Finance Company weep inside.

My grandfather bought a 4880 new, last tractor he bought before passing the farm to my uncle. My dad put many hours on it, mostly used for tillage work. One day while pulling the chisel, and with a Dodge pickup behind that, it snapped the power shaft while climbing a curved road up a tall hill in road gear. No way to stop it at that point, freewheeled back down the hill. Totaled the Dodge when it jackknifed but kept the rest straight. Traded in 1992 for both a JD 4650 and 4850 MFWD shortly before I came into the picture.

We run a couple 4880s still on our farm, they pull 80ft of heavy harrows as well as 50ft of anhydrous cultivator, or “chisel plow” as the Americans say. We’ve had great luck with them, ran them for over twenty years and the only major part we needed to replace was the hydraulic pump, they pull hard and work great! From Saskatchewan Canada

First tractor I ever drove was a Massey Ferguson, I've had a special place in my heart for the brand ever since. Thanks Jason for the Massey videos!

I like to see old massey work

As a massey ferguson nut I find this video absolutely brilliant. For me the big articulating tractors are my favourite. You don't see many of them in the UK but I am lucky to know a man with a mf4840 that is his pride and joy. Great video.

GO BTP!!💪Thanks Jason for sharing. 👍👍

I always like the videos the old moldboard plows. I farm in eastern Iowa and I’m young enough (around 30) that I don’t think I’ve ever seen one being used in a field around where I’m at as far back as I can remember. It seems most people went the chisel plow+disc route 40 years ago here, or the big guys use a disc ripper.

The ole sassy massey workin hard with that bottom plow

Man you’re making my weeks lately with all these plow videos!

I liked how you followed the tractor and plow. Even got to see one trip! Good video!

That 4880 is my favorite tractor growing up. Love video. 👍🇨🇦

That was awesome to this classic big Massey at work, cream of the crop at the time and still is,

Thanks for another awesome video. I love seeing older farm equipment at work.

Great Vlog, One of the more spectacular early large masseys. that V8 engine noise "rocks" thanks for sharing

I use to own 3545 and 2705 both good tractors wish I had them back

Plows really make them work.

Boy...She's pulling hard on those compacted headlands. Great video

We had a 4880 and still have a 4840. Fun old tractors

That was impressive, thanks for posting 🇬🇧

Thank you very much for bringing this here for us to enjoy.

Australia here. I've done a lot of hours on these. They are loud even with a muffler, you can hear them miles away on a cold clear night.

Awesome video please keep the older muscle tractor's plowing videos rolling in love them

Go classy. Go Massey!

IH made the best amd heaviest moldboard plows ! 👍👍👍👍👍

Another good video!

We owned one of the 4880 tractors. The 903 Cummins was quite an engine, with lugging power unmatched at the time, the 18 spd transmission was great, you could always find a speed/gear to get the job done. We had a 10 bottom White plow, then added an 11 bottom White plow so we had 21 bottoms turning dirt at one time, made easy work out of 80 acre fields. During the spring we pulled ft 25 ft, field cultivator with an Unverferth rolling basket harrow.

Hitting the like button as always!

I'm more of a Allis Chalmers person but I like the 903 cummins I've owned three in big trucks and if serviced right they will last forever

We used to have a Massey Ferguson 4840 with a 36 ft field cultivator

Old iron still going strong😁👍 nice plowing action, thanks for sharing👍😉

A Stud Massey! 👍 - Doug in Iowa

Got a 1987 mf 3650 and a 298, not sure on year 86 maybe. Had a 3545 n wish I still did. Don't use them much but for playing now. Mow some crp in August is all

My custom operator has two of those tractors, that sound can be heard for miles

We had a 4900. It was a great tractor.

I love these big tractors, although they may be surpassed by newer ones, I still love these big monster tractors. Also Massey is my father's preferred brand.

8:59 that was a big rock or something besides dirt. Thanks for the V-8 Massey.

Looks like a mile long field. Nice part of the world.

We have this tractor. It's my favorite 1 to work ground with.

These tractors were quite impressive for the time. Video on RU-vid showed one 4880 out pulling JD, Steiger, and Case Ih on sled.Title" No weight limit farm stock tracors Osgood, in Ripley. "

Nice

You can sure tell where the ground is more compacted from loaded trucks or grain carts. Neat vid.

Its really fun to watch

Look at that amazing soil

I remember when a local guy got this tractor new. That thing would bark in the bottoms and you could hear it 3 miles away at our farm

My son and I bought one and only used it one year. Too bad, our 4880 is all pimped out with extra live hyd. (atom jet) for running an air drill, and a sat-loc gps auto steer as well. We shut down our farm for lack of land. Tractor sits beside the hi-way with a for sale sign on it. We want 20k cad for it, but I guess it's easier to lease new ones. Cab and paint are rough on ours. My son has a paint shop, so its getting hauled to his place for paint, cab kit and some luvin. Lol!! Price after the work will be 30k cad. Try finding 325 hp with these options on a lease...for that $ you won't. Tractor is located in Sask. Canada. Always enjoy your videos with that "take no prisoners sound 903 V-8". Lol!! TOG out!!

Have 1805 I want a plow to work with. I have a 52 foot Glencoe cultivator for it and a 14 ft. Snow plow. Love the MF's!

Must have hit a few rocks or hard spots I noticed the plow tripped a few times. But the old Massey never checked up. Just kept right on going

Great video. Can’t imagine why 39,000 people. Viewed this and did not give a thumbs up. Come on people, give a thumbs up for the hard work of providing this video. Helps the producer with sponsors. Thanks for producing and sharing. Please keep them coming. Love these monsters.

That tractor is a good looking one

I put many hours on 4880. We pulled a 48 foot duckfoot with harrows

Almost smell that plowed ground

I had a 4840 great tractor for the price. Transmission was fantastic.

Love the videos man, will you be able to get hold of a John Deere 9620T 2 track tractor to make a video off?

Très beau et très bon tracteur MASSEY FERGUSON .......................................................... ANCIEN AGRICULTEUR ! Cordialement Joseph FRANCE /////////////////////////

Yes sir

Beautiful black soil. We don’t see much of that here. If we worked our soils like that it would all blow to NZ on the next westerly change. Great to see US farmers still using older equipment and keeping machinery costs down.🇦🇺👍

👍👍

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏🚜🚜

Id love to have run one of those

Nothing like an IH plow in cornstalks!

Most of the Massey Ferguson 4000 Series tractors along with the Ford FW-30,FW-40 & FW-60 used the Cummins 903 V-8 I rememner

Love me a 903

What is the spacing on those plows?

We have a 4840 and 2x 4880 and a 4900. Nothing beats the sound of a straight piped 903

Sounds like a 903

@bigtractorpower we have 4 of these tractors a 4840 2x 4880 and a 4900. Use them on disk, honey wagon, turbo till, and sunflower tillage equipment

Thanks for another excellent video. I always enjoy the specs .

Should have a 903 Cummins turbo with 320 HP they produced a larger HP model 4900 as well. My dad had purchased one in 1980. The 4880 we had never had any issues we pulled a 8-18 bottom plow and a 36 foot field cultivator.

Wow I did not know that I thought Massey's used Perkins Motors One of the reasons I like watching your channel I learn stuff 🖒

If this was an original British company they did well to produce these tractors 😊😊😊🚜🚜

😃👍💪🚜😎

Nothing sounds better than a V8...

That’s some serious slippage going on there.

Big difference in soil between central and southern Illinois

At 7:50...looks like a rare 5200 in the background

Why was the right disk “ kicking up “ ? Rock ....

It honestly kind of blows my mind how much maintenance is required to keep these tractors running even if they're a few decades old and no longer in production today. I bet spare parts for these older tractors have to be hard to come by.

That generation of 903s must have been better than the early ones. The early ones had a tendency to puke the guts out through the bottom when turbocharged

It's a screamer for sure... Sounds kinda like a Scania V8. Think I would have harrowed it first. Would have buried the trash a little better. Only problem with those plows is it takes a big area to turn them around. Think he needs a little more weight. Started power hopping some. That tractor has been a few rounds in it's day.

Ploughing/plowing is expensive, I like to see old soil turned over and fresh soil on top ,but I like to see the all the rubbish buried and if the plough/ plow is set up correctly you shouldn't see any rubbish especially if the plough is fitted with skimmers, the operator hasn't set his plough properly, he would be better off pulling a chisel plough or a set of reel discs. All the very best , Kevin Fox,England.

Is this the same farm that was ripping with the 2 Masseys and the Mcconnell Marc last year?

Eyeballing up your next V8 articulated Jason?

Heeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnn basically lol. 🤜🤜🤜🤜🤜🤜🇬🇧🇺🇸

Not the best of ploughing, residue as you call it isnt getting buried like it should, Nice to see big Massey artic, looks like a McConnel parked up at the farm.

In the trucking industry it was called the 90 nothing.

Any idea how much fuel that tractor would burn in a 12 hour day hooked to that plow?? Anybody ?

Whas that a 5200 massey parked at the edge of the field?

Hey my parents and brother just sold out their share of our family farm and we'll be having the equipment sale next April 12th so you could get a great deal on a JD8970 on almost new 42" triples or a Smart-track NH T9.615. i might be looking for one of these older 4wd, tho i'd far prefer an FW60 with 3pt.

7:42 what happened here

my uncle had 2 of these transmission broke in both of them

WOW that tractor can pull ,that's hard going ,not much wheel slip either.

Lots of slippage
