How performance, output and efficiency has changed over 50 years. Modern machinery continues to amaze me but the good old ones have the most character.
Great video, I spent the 1974 season on a 10/60.... It was a " Flying Machine" and I was dropping the trailers to hook up to a tractor drawn precision chop harvester .... memories indeed and a pity we did not own a camera then ! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful. Brought back so many memories - and the steering always seemed to be very light on Nuffields. First tractor I ever drove was a Nuffield Universal.
Very nostalgic! The Fergie 28 and a Nuffield petrol, a little older but still looking similar to the one here, were the tractors of the farm I grew up on. I thought the Nuffield was huge! It could just about haul a kauri stump out of a swamp, though. Road petrol was 2/9d a gallon; farm petrol was cheaper but had dye in it to deter farmers putting it in their cars, the dye leaving a tell-tale stain around the carb should Mr Plod require an inspection at any time unannounced!
Los tractores de hoy podrán tener toda la tecnología del mundo, pero en cuanto a durabilidad, fidelidad, no habrá jamás como un Nuffield 460 o un 10/60. En el caso del mejor tractor americano, el Fordson Major, y el súper Major, los mejores tractores de la historia.
You know its crazy. we used to do this, we had time, did the silage like this, happy times. Now they say theres no time. got to do it faster etc. yet now milk price has dropped theres major pricing problems. if someone with 100 acres can't make profit theres something wrong. my sons got 150 acres and makes enough profit. we have 200 acres and make enough profit!
I thought is was not smoking enough for a 10/60 buy she did when he got into it harder !!! Steering looks a little worn !!! Super tractors, we used to have one and it started so easy even in the coldest weather, as long as the diesel had not waxed and the starter could move the engine, she would start immediately. If anyone has one for sale in the USA, let me know.
