MUCKER REACTS TO YOUR TRACTORS ! 

Well from the response so far and the messages I've had, I think we will have to do some more of these 'Mucker Reacts' vids ! 😂 I think next time for time and mainly my sanity, we will maybe focus on 3 Tractors each episode. Keep commenting and putting your suggestions !

I am a ford man but Jesus your rant was brilliant and 100% true 🤣🤣 a 40 series would have been a better contender

I grew up in Zambia, Africa and my father bought a Volvo BM in 1976 the year I was born. In the 12 years I live there it near missed a heart beat, worked hard in a tough environment. I went out to Zambia in 2019 and it is still working, what a machine

7:18, we have a Ford 2000 utility and it hasn't shat itself in the last 20 years, until recently, it now gets stuck in reverse, it was time for some maintenance anyways, the oil is 3 years old, ahem

Think you should do a follow up on this and do another 10. If you dont have models just do it with photos. 8210 needs a mention, I know it looks more powerful than it is, but it does looks and sound great, I love them.

The Case 5140 definitely deserves a place, don’t think it is top dog but I spent a lot of hours in them and they were solid, strong machines with plenty of power for the size of them

The little MF135 and 165 are STILL the cornerstone of a lot of small farms in Ireland as well as being a very popular tractor for harvesting turf (peat ) . My top dog tractor has to be the Zetor Crystal 14145 … so many hours on one of those with a low loader hauling excavators , never got stuck , never let me down . Really enjoyed running it .

JCB Fastrac ! A British built tractor introduced way back in 1991and still in production today capable of 80k or 65k when some other manufactures were just getting 40k off the the drawing board . Other brands are still playing catch up with its features to this day and are struggling in many aspects .Just for example Fastrac have outboard disc brakes on all four wheels -yes real brakes whilst most new conventional tractors still have their wet brake lining fillings go through the entire backend and transmission causing no end of missery - just take another idea from the Fastrac to sort it boys ,just like its comfort ,speed and stability ..

Leyland 270. My grandad used to run Leyland 270s and a 272 on hedge cutter. That 4/98 engine is a bloody good engine, would always start and had decent power.

Oh I’ve missed your rants ! Spaffed in the sump 😂😂😂 Still reckon the Deere 6000 series were game changers used to pilot a 6800 and a 6610 both solid reliable work horses ! Definitely the cab and operator stations stood out from anything else at the time !

Always liked the Case Maxxum 51 series. The Cummins engine, power shift and 40k made them good workhorses.

For me it's a County 1884. County's last hurrah before it's demise. A big tractor for heavy tillage work (providing you had the moon to turn around on at the headlands).

John Deere 7810 top dog. Unsually so but a real steady wee tractor that kept ireland turning is the zetor 8011. As good as alot of 4wd tractors even if it was 2wd itself. Plenty power and weight. Great hydraulic lift power. Start on any hill lol.

Still run a 135 here doing work round the farm. At least I know now I'm not the only one who was tortured at hay in the summer back in the day on one. Used to do a lot of hay with the one here, when you'd be turning it and reach the headland all the dust of the day would fill the old flexicab and with the heat it would stick to you like glue leaving you itching like mad. The 565 that came after was like a rolls royce in comparison, Fully unclosed cab and loader, really felt like the bees knees when it arrived. I must admit though the 135 well and truly had paid for itself by the time the 565 was bought.

Loved the reaction to the Ford 7810. We owned one and it couldn't pull your socks off when hauling silage on hilly grassland. Lovely on the road and stuff but much better tractors for traction were available at the same time - Fiat 100/90 being the other tractor we had at the same time to compare against

Great vid Kurt , think next time you should pick the top ten . I may be ridiculed for this one but I'm going for the ford 4610 .

Super major for me. First tractor I ever drove

Late Blue roof 7840/8340 SLE

Hi Mucker I think you definitely need some new friends to help you with choosing the next line up of tractors! As there was only two really good tractors on your shelf! The FENDT and the massy 3080. But the massy 2725 was a pukka tractor. Fenland Rob. No sticker ☹️

Nuffield Universal, great tractor for their time, paraffin ones were great for road work as they were the fastest tractors around if you pulled the throttle lever out past the stop, bloody hairy as well.

Like someone else has commented, 70 series Fod or 8000 series Deere definitely deserve to be up top.

Zetor crystal. I no they all say cab massive an passenger seat for the mechanic but they first with splitter gear an can b hill started with it. An flat floor an wer great gripping especially the 2wd 6 cylinder. They wer wat ahead of tber time but just didn’t keep movin

A late 40k 3650 with the hi-lift and Bosch electric hitch control are epic things. 👌

The fordson super major 1962 needs to be on the top shelf.

No Fordson Major 😮 (with a orange grill.. you know the one! 😂)

I have a renault ceres 85 with the mwm engine not the most comfortable tractor. But theirs nearly 13000 hours on the clock and it never failed to start and all that was done to it was 1 clutch and a seal in the lift pump and I've had it 19 years and it is still being used every day. I love watching your videos keep up the good work 👍

Ford man hear and 100% agree with you on 7810s being overrated 7710s are underrated with a very lively 4 cylinder engine, also think the 6000 or 6010 series John Deere with the tech center cab deserves to be up there with reliability and a tractor to keep going. Looking forward to the next video 👍👍

One of the most entertaining episodes yet! 😂 Well done Kurt! 👌👏👍

The 7810 segment had me rolling 🤣

I agree 8210 should of been in there but still thing that county 754 should be in it. The four wheel drive system at the time was unbeatable and arguably still is. definitely changed that market!

Is there a "sell-by" date for nominations? If not, how about the Standard Fordson N ? Preceding the grey Fergie it was basic, simple and often the bridge between horses and mechanisation on many Norfolk farms. My dad learnt to drive on a "wartime green" N when he was 6 in 1945. The Dagenham-built N was the tractor that helped feed the nation.

Glad the little fergy 135 was on top shelf,we did everything on our 300ac farm with two of them in the early 1970s

Mercedes MB Trac. Farm across from my dad had two 1600's when I was a little boy and they still have them now, rarely see them get used but occasionally they pull them out to stretch their legs. Me and my mate used to build dens in the hedge and watch them ploughing and spraying, every now and then the old guy would stop and chase us off out of the hedge!

Hi Mucker my vote would be the case maxxum 5150 and the Ford 8210 both great tractors!

Renault fixed the 7530 head gasket problem by supplying a thicker one iirc. You also forgot about the turbo shitting itself, the manifold snapping, the injectors not injecting and the air-to-water cooler leaking. Other than that they were bloody awesome and I loved the one I operated. It wasn't just a 7530 with the problems. The lower powered 69’s had the same issues.

Got to have the super major

I thought you'd blow a head gasket with your Ford rant 😂😂 I'm a Ford man through and through but that rant was a laugh. If you don't see a pool of oil under them then there's something wrong 😂Agree with you on the Super Q cab. They look so good on a Ford.

I was lucky enough to drive a 3060 that someone had codged up, it was 4wd but the diff give up… so he give up with it and stuck a 2wd axle under it. Called it the 3060-65-70 Mended it one piece at a time. Just like Jonny cash and his Cadillac

Going to have to comment it as i don't think any one else will but the doe triple D just because bolting two tractors together to make 1 and make a 4 wheel drive system was a clever idea

I have a Case IH 585 over here in the state of Indiana, US. I think it was manufactured over in your neck of the woods - according to the data plate. It's worn out, but does what I ask it to do. Very easy to work on, and mine has the front wheel assist (4x4) option. I beat it like a stepchild!!

Great to see your video about the top tractors. Would of liked to see a county tractor in the list. A Zetor was another favourite of mine.

Thanks for an informative and entertaining rundown on some iconic tractors, warts and all! As someone who went for the 135 as my choice, the description of what they did to your delicate parts was an eye-watering counterpoint...

Fordson Super Major (new Performance) was a great tractor for pulling

Good choice of phrases from Kelly’s heroes !

A great video, with some very true comments on many brands. Lord Muck definitely hitting many nails square on the head with his responses. I think the iconic International 674 was a real stand out tractor in the mid 1970s, a proper pocket rocket if ever there was one. A decent LP cab for it’s day, full hydrostatic steering, synchro gearbox, with Torque Amplifier to give a decent amount of gears. A truly excellent hydraulic system compared to the competitors at the time. And a decent set of brakes too. Absolutely should be included in this list without a shadow of a doubt Mr Muck 😅

Need to do a David brown, maybe a 995 or 990 or even a 1210 or 1410 with the turbocharger, I personally think David browns are crazy underrated and I’ve never heard nothing but good things about any David browns, just simple reliable tough machines

Massey 390 surely should be up there, in the ninetys in Cumbria, they were everywhere! I still see loads of them knocking about and tbh, still going strong and not a bit of rust on them. Not driven a 7810 but I do love a 7840 or any 40 series for that matter Older fords as well, 4000, and old ford diggers, they just go forever

From South Africa, regarding older machines the Volvo 600/700/800 were seriously reliable as well as the Fiat 1000/1300. Modern machines Steiger, JD 8000 series, Case Magnum, Valtra

I still say the Massey Ferguson 35 as it has being made from 1958 to today in certain Countries 🙂

Marshall 804 was a great tractor but the 8210 2wd was brilliant

Great vid, love the Lord Muck reviews - honest as always 😀 The older fiat tractors 780 etc were great little tractors - just needed to stop them from rusting in the wind 🤣👌

Loved your spray about the 7810, had me in stitches. Very entertaining vid.

Cheers mucker, enjoyed that one. Although my choice didn't make it, you did at least mention one, the mighty IH 885. Again, the tractors I grew up with, the 85 series, still got a big place in my heart.

I think a tractor which could be on the shelf for another video would be a Massey 6280 or 6290. Was brilliant what you said about the 3080’s

David Brown 1212. The Hydra Shift gearbox was ahead of its time.

Another entertaining video. When you mentioned that you suffered from chafing, it brought back memories of the industry I worked in. We called it paper makers arse, not good for those who were suffering. But didn’t half cheer everyone else up, when we watched them walking.

I'm a ford guy aswell. Some are good and some are bad!!? Great video 👍👍 Ford 6410 with super q is my favorite.

We had our first John Deere 2140 with the sg2 back in the 80’s, what an absolutely lovely cab!

Great video, mines still the case 1056xl but a good old fordson major, still thousands putting a shift in, simple reliable and near indestructible, even better with a 6 cylinder grafted in 👍

The MF135 was the first tractor I drove, was the farm scraper tractor (albeit the scraper was a railway sleeper on a 3 point link with some rubber on the base) jcb fastrac 1135 defo, worth a look at but would love to see your views on the Claas Xerion 5000. Looking foward to the next one.

The 3650 certainly was a good tractor. We didn’t see too many of them here, Chamberlain 4480 had them beaten on price but nothing else. Any 40, 50 or 55 series US John Deere. They were unbeatable and still are. For the squirrel shit shelf any Belarus or Zetor. Jeff

Enjoyed that Mucker, John Deere 3130

I enjoyed this video. 😂 Great to hear a good informative rant👏 For me the Ford q cabbed row crop tractors stood out in my younger years and still do. Lovely design for late 70s. To drive I think a fendt 516 vario is excellent. Nice compact tractor with good power and comfort.

Muir Hill 121 has to be up there, good ol things, bit cumbersome but good fun to drive

That was a cool video. I like hearing about your personal experiences and about the tractor history in general. Especially because I live in ny . I don't get to see alot of the tractors you showcase.. keep up the good work mucker.. Do well

I think I’m still going with a David Brown/case 1490, I know they occasionally had there hydraulic issues, but they performed without a lot of fuss, I’m currently looking to get my hands on one but sadly living down south not that many people have them, they all love a Ford down here 🤦🤦🤦. And as always a brilliant video, made me slime throughout. Definitely one of the best channels out there for a bit of evening entertainment…👍👍

I F'kin love it when you off on a rant LOL

Hello mucker, I’m a Ford man always will be the best Tractor I have driven and used for heavy fieldwork. There was no stop in the old girl. It was a Fiat 1380 DT

I am quite fond of the MAXXUM, Probably about the first nice power shift and shuttle. I also liked the hydraulic controls. 5150 Pro wit the extra height cab made that little bit of difference.

Fordson diesel major , Nuffield 10/60 tractor ,have both and have always heard great things from farmers and contractors from back in day ,talked very found of them both

Massey Ferguson 390T......the later mid 1990s tractors..........compact, simple with plenty of grunt tractors. they were good tractors in my opinion

Another great video. I still think the early Deutz DX range were briliant , basic, noisy but powerfull and fast. 40k and no trailer brakes. fun times

Mucker, i'd like to put forward a Zetor 12045. This was the last tractor i drove before i went on the HGV'S. [ just loved it and could out pull the countys in the contracting fleet. I got laughed at a lot, all because it was a zetor!

David brown 1490 has to be at least cats whiskers due to the hydro shift and the factory fitted turbo

21:30 Exactly, still the 8210 is the way to go

Agree with you mucka on your thoughts about fords. I love them but it is nostalgia my old man always use to drive them. Same with my Landrovers series to defender they rust they leak but just make me smile sometimes the imperfections is what makes you love them more. Great video as usual enjoy the rest of your week mucka

Nice One Kurt I like SG2 cabs Super Q cabs They should make all the young fente drivers work a season on a 135 or similar🤣 I will stick with my 4000 Thanks again

Yes the 135 was an absolute blast to work with. It did it all almost. Great vid thanks

Loved the rant brilliantly still looking for my first tractor for a bit of mowing and moving muck and pallets, keep up the good work

What a cracker of a vid Lord Muck, defo would like to see another instalment top 10 tractors, my thought would be the Fordson Super Dexta for its agility and simplicity

Been giving it more thought, the old MBtracs were kind of a ground breaking machine, Fendt tool carriers were fantastic for the veg growers and my curve ball would be the Renault 145.14

Great laugh Kurt, odd ball choice but a bit of a mystery in the modern era that most write off, claas 870. Hell of a versatile tractor on a large arable farm. Can literally do everything from jungle bashing (hedge trimming, but not much on this farm, it’s the one that hosts the ploughing match near marham) to ploughing, if you want the proof I can show you. And in the near 3000hrs I’ve clocked in one in the last 3 years I must say it’s pretty reliable too.

Fordson super major Kurt

Got to have a David brown 990 up there

Cracking vid…. Do you just know all this stuff or do you have to research bits, like the horsepower of different models within a range and all that? I think you probably know it and it’s well impressive! Still love the County 1174 even though it’s a Ford on steroids…. But any of the equal wheel models were ground breaking…filling in a need. Still love the fergie though and glad to see it up there on the list. First tractor I drove and it just worked. Even when I had to sell it with the farm, it had stood retired for about 15 years. Oil change, plugs, new battery and some new petrol it fired straight up. Always have a place in my heart. I so enjoy this channel,Mucker, keep it coming!

Fordson major. I use one with a loader. Nice and simple to drive.

Fendt 108ls. Neighbour had 2 of them. Spent many hours banging my head against the sideglass haha. Simpel machine, great sound and lots of power. I sometimes drive a 308ls for weekend jobs. Always brings me a smile. Other than that would be a 824. Love the sound and power. Yeah i’m a fendt man.

Great video you talking about the XL cab on the case 1455 remind me of the case 885 XL cab I grew up with.

The rant about the 7810 was epic and I agree! Now for my rant. Whoever chose these models clearly needs to get stuffed! I know a lot of your viewers are from the UK and Europe and the choices of these machines was heavily influenced by that. I suggested the TRULY LEGENDARY Ford/NH 8870 Genesis. One of the very best tractors ever built! Class leading power, megaflow hydraulics, full power shift, best fuel efficiency for hp, a cab second only to JDs 8000 series. Built for hell stout. You could thrash them, turn the hp way the hell up. Abuse and misuse them some more and they’d smile back with a shit eating grin asking for more! The 8x70 series genesis tractors were fords swan song. Their magnum opus, a finale in a long and storied journey. High houred examples still bring big money and it’s nearly impossible to find one for sale. They are still competitive with todays offerings. They set the tone and bar of what was to come and what was possible. I can’t think of another tractor, that can tick all those boxes.

Great video, one of the first tractors I drove was a MF 135 and first time i ploughed was on a MF 168 .

Hi, RU-vid canceled my subscription, so I had to rejoin. Great to hear the ‘warts and all’ comments. Every piece of kit has its good and bad points, some of which are only apparent in very hot, cold or wet conditions OR over several long days.

It’s interesting the models that are popular in the UK are non existent in the USA. Definitely a few more brands in the USA. The John Deere 4020 Powershift, Console Control is probably one of my favorites. We farmed with Allis Chalmers, 210, 7000 and 7010. Thanks for the great comments Lord Muck.

What about the 804 Marshall the note from the 498turbo was nice to listen to

Still ford 5000 for me, wheeling due over loading rear forklift and loader on the front made into a pole and hook thing to put a chain on for lifting piggie huts, awesome fun.

I have ran a ford 7910. I love that tractor.

Brilliant review loved it ,but my first love was the 2130 John deere we got in 78 I was 8 it was the new shape with super Duncan cab it was a big upgrade from the fordson major and dexta the old Nuffield was our second big tractor till that was replaced a couple of year later with mysecond favourite tractor which was an international 574 good simple tractor but being a deere fan we had 2130,2140 ,2650,6210 but the holey grale was a 7810 John deere

The fiat 110 90 has to be top dog what an outstanding tractor for its size unbelievable power, bodywork fell to shit but that’s not the tractors fault, body or no body they were unbelievable.

Well melod, up to seeing this video l had quite a sh*t day. And now l couldn't be happier because l own a John Deere 7530! Happy day melod and many thanks to judges!

My stepdad restored a TE 20 a few years ago. Well, I should say he more or less built the damn thing from scratch. I mean, when it arrived at their house I looked at it and was like "You bought a lump of scrap" Most of the engine parts were missing, all four tyres knackered, rear rims knackered, rear mudgaurds knacked, no exhaust, no bonnet, no rad, no grill, It was almost just an engine block, gearbox and axle, but it looked great when he finished it.

Mighty stuff Kurt and Puppo, still going to stick with the old DX 6.10, great tractor that could punch well above its weight, provided the brakes didn't go on fire😁👌👍🙂
