Massey Ferguson 65 & 35 Tractor, Plough & Massey Ferguson 711 Potato Harvester 

For those who may be interested, that device at 5-18, is called Multi-Pull, the forerunner to Pressure Control, on MF tractors. Great to watch that MF 65 with a five furrow plough. Although it is working in 'soft' arable land, you can almost see the weight transfer taking place from the plough, adding additional wieght and hence traction to the tractor rear wheels. The geometry of the rear linkage is such, that if imaginary lines were to be projected forward, the intersection of said lines would be the centre of the front axle. This had two benefits; in the horizontal plane, the implement always tracks centrally behind the tractor whilst in the vertical plane, the force generated through the top link, keeps the front of the tractor firmly planted on the ground. This ensures safe and controlled steering, and also prevents the tractor from rearing up, if an obstruction is encountered. Marvellous invention, the Ferguson System !

Lovely old film .I remember about 25 years ago getting some plough points at the foundry Kelso .also have a few tractors in my collection sold by Geo Henderson .

Great film and so clear too nice to see a MF 35 like ours when they were new👍
