Bloody hell fella, when I was a lad in summer I used to go over to watch the farm hands do their stuff and via spud picking and hay bail stacking I finally I got to drive a tractor and progressed to being able to give the ploughing a go and as a result of that, how to fix fences. Features on the tractor were metal seat that would burn your arse if left in the sun too long and the star feature, the ability to put one wheel in reverse and other in forward to swing the plough around quickly and maximize ploughed distance. Not only did that gain distance in the field but lead to me learning how to get a plough out of a fence with minimal damage and how to repair the damage. Your bit of kit there is has more comfort items than some hotel rooms I have stayed in, still looks like a shit job though. Loving this channel.
Great looking tractor. Always blows my mind when I see the technology used in them now. Thank you for showing it off. Looking forward to seeing you use it.
Hi Tom, I have come here from Colin's underground garage and subscribed, as I think probably quite a few did. In Colin's latest video you are digging out the hole in the drive and Colin mentions about you taking all the rubble away, but not telling Colin what you do with it. So, what do you do with it? We won't tell Colin!
I have to get parts for my Reco Fella tedder and rake from Massey now. AGCO bought them about twelve years ago. (Which makes me realise how old some of my 'new' kit actually is!!)
I learned to drive when I was 14yrs old. I spent my summers on a farm down in Cornwall. The tractor I drove was a grey Massey Harris Ferguson. I will always remember those summers with great fondness. Thanks Tom....
Very impressive giant red one you have there Tom. The folks who make these must be very clever. Far smarter than I am. So I can't figure out why they put the electrics at the lowest point on the machine. Relays don't like damp, nor do ECU's. Which gives it a wading depth of about a Welly. It wouldn't last 5 minutes round my way.
Great kit all round. Tractors my big concern is the technology that’s used today will it be durable and when it fails in years to come the cost of repairs That’s why I understand if possible to buy / lease a tractor and get rid of at end of warranty period
