My mother is 88 years young and she still ploughs all her own fields. But she thinks this might be her last year on the farm. She told me that milking cow's for 76 years was enough . I don't think she will give it up that easy . To all those ladies getting out there still doing it I take my hat off to you.
Brilliant video, can't beat county/ MH power. I ploughed hill fields with a ford 7710, that were so steep that you couldn't have your feet on the floor due to the toolbox sliding across the cab floor
Great to see the Muir hills working, I have fond memories of them as I started engineering by working in the factory building them in the late 70’s. Happy days.😃
Good old mum, she really knows how to put the Muir-Hill through it's paces. My wife used one in Scotland back in the 1970's. You should give her some front weights like on the Ford. Your stone content appears to match ours!!!
Kudo's to your Mom, BUT, when you said very steep hills, I expected to see the Palouse country. Running crawlers on those side hills, will make the hair on your neck stand up! Just watching a hillside combine slide on the slippery stubble, takes your breath away. On some of those hills, we call it, "talking to the angels!" These tractors, would roll over where my family farms.
1961 dad had 5 of the brands come to our farm and started them side by side up a slope like that..3 bottom plows..The Ford 800 Select O Speed got to the top first and he bought 2 of them...
Hopefully you had a lot better luck than my neighbors who bought them did. The Troy built one's sold in North America has some serious build issues that, when they failed were whorendusly expensive to fix. Because of that, Ford didn't have any market presence in my neighborhood until after the merger with New Holland.....
Ooooh Look at your Mom go..! Now that's a tractor pull if efer I seed one 4 wheel drive too..! Man look at the wheels spinning in the dirt and still making progress..! I'll bet it takes a Veteran tractor puller to do that..!
Beautiful country, looks like the combine was throwing over. We have hills steeper than that but I seeded them to grass. Zero till would be a good option. But I don't know the details. Good video.
mind watching dad ploughing following along side on a wee quad - he had a 1594 3 furrow reversible kv on - one field had a big hollow wi a long but steep climb out - heavy yellow clay n you got the front wheels lifting for a second or 2 while the draft control sorted itself out - as wee boy it was strange to see something that big wi its front wheels lifting
I like so much that tractors with all four wheels of the same diameter! About old farmers.... Here in Italy I've seen several +80 years old men drive tractors
Hi madam i want job i can drive i am from Pakistan My mob and whatsaap numbr +923236522651 i am young boy can you give me job ya your relative have job so invite me
Just curious the plowing pattern includes uphill dragging? Just didn't seem right especially hearing from videographer how steep it was ... there's gotta be a most efficient way on hills
Hey guys the ONLY plow I have ever seen with leaf springs on top were built in Norway and Kvernland was the manufacture is that the kind of plow that is behind the Ford??
Parabéns a vocês que através deste árduo trabalho são os responsáveis pela produção de alimentos. E, muita das vezes não são reconhecidos pelos governantes.
