Selling our old Massey Ferguson 690 tractor. Part 1 

Oh man...spent my childhood riding one of these as passenger squeezing behind the seat and watching the Holland baler baling away. The 690 2WD I rode as passenger had a front loader fitted to it. Awesome video.

My grandad has a 4WD 690 it's a beast

I love them old Masseys, Always trusty beasts. I got to drive one on my tractor test, simple and reliable.

Better than any of the new tractors

Sad times the fact you sold the 600 series but the problem is rust its such a big problem particularly this model and it does end up a dear naccesity having to keep carrying out work! Further our conversation a while back regarding our 600 series, shes still going but good god the rots getting there.

I cut my teeth on one these. Handbrake used to get stuck and the steering had a half turn of play in it lol.

the 690 turbo with the strait though exhaust is one one the best ever sounding tractors .. mind you a chap near us had a david brown 1490 turbo that would whistle like a good un ....

Very interesting video for a farmer. You are very lucky to have such a friendly and very professional butcher👌👌

Is the 690 still out there?

We 3 massey back in day we had 690 590 575 we still go the 690 we r still farm now

We have a 1988 690 2wd we have it for years now and we got very bad snow in winter and the water pump was leaking on it and we thought all the water leaked out of it and never checked it in the snow and the blocked cracked, the saddest day of my life tbh, we still have it but it's going for export soon and I don't want it too leave cause it's been a part of my life for years but it's my dads not mine so I can't stop it from going 😨

Whey hey old betsy is back !!!

What do you need 4wd drive for the contractors do all field work

A very good tractor!

my grandad has one of these i was brought up driving this at the age of 6 he still has it now with only 3500 hours but unfortunately due to health reasons he no longer farms its been sat for over a year in a shed but a little bit of heat away she went great tractor he wants to give it to a friend of his but im trying to persuade him to let me have it would love to take it to show

Yes we would have kept her if the rust wasn't causing such problems

Best of luck of the selling the dusty tractor

its not a chimney its called an exhaust pipe

Lovely old tractor

Old massie sounds good

I had a 698t. Good reliable tractors but terrible for rust.

theres another 10 yrs left in her spend 1000 on cab , although 20 yrs was good service was their much repairs over the years

Hi Richard, what did you mean when you said you'd think it'd be better going for export? Do they get re-furbed before export? Thanks

power steering,good brakes ,easy started and You are giving out about "rusty mud guards " madness!! How much did You get for it??

If i were u i would have kept it , its worth more to you than anything else

It would have been a miracle if it didn't start!!

We have a massy 1010 it’s is great

Old girl sounds good, can't believe you have a inspector for tractors over here in US government don't give a damn about tractors they have too many problem otherwise.

My dad has one of these

Have you sold this yet. If not where will you be selling it

Use starter fluid from the get-go. Regards...

The size of the bolt is 13

love the old massey 590 / 690 . series how come the doors are painted red ,,, shame she's gotta go and grrr at the rust .were they made in france

Ya wouldn't let it warm up for a second no instead of revving the shite out of it

Hi how much did you sell the Massey for

Bye massy

Should have kept it for kids

Re watching this video again! I think I remember you saying it went off somewhere local, Richard? Have you ever seen or heard of it since she went?
