Vintage Thursday. Ferguson tractor hoeing fodder beet 

Brilliant Dan . Amazing how there so affective at there job . Thanks for the time showing us .

I love your videos they are very interesting I love your vintage Thursday videos keep up the good work👍

Dan .... this is awesome...... great work restoring this old one....

Great video Cowfarmer Dan! I really enjoy antique farm equipment and seeing it used. I live in Kentucky in the U.S. I have never seen a machine like this one. Thanks for taking the time to share a view of the past.

Love the vintage Thursday videos and all your videos actually, what an awesome tractor still going well since 1951 , well it has a newer engine , but still awesome tractor!👍👌

I was surprised just how effective a job that made. I really enjoy seeing old kit working the way it was intended, as usual another superb video.

Fantastic video. Proper old school, Keep them coming Dan

Fantastic video dan! I look forward for vintage thursdays

Great video as always I really enjoy your vintage video dan

It's great seeing the old equipment being used and not just stored away in the back of a barn only to be looked at

Nice job, it looks like you caught it just in time and perfect conditions. Some rain after the weeds have quailed away and the crop will soon smother out any more weeds. Looking good.

Looks like a lot of concentration for that job I remember my uncle had a mid mounted one on a David Brown 2d great vid

much enjoyed Dan great work

Always amazes me the equipment these people produced with limited tools / facilities to produce them compared to the tools / technology available nowadays. Great vid as always Dan 👍🏻

Thanks for another great video Dan,love the idea of that Ferguson spanner with the depth setting marks on it simple and effective works all the time,and I think I heard a chiff chaff in the background ,

Thanks for sharing this not seen it done before we used to grow sweed on drills👍

Fantastic 👍 your beet looks great think my neighbour needs to do that spray not worked they have lots of weeds 😬thanks for the vid cheers Antony 👍 👍

That Fergie really does turn on a sixpence! Another excellent video Dan, thank you.

Can't beat a bit of farming with vintage kit.

My grandfather bought a new Ferguson in the early 50's with a front end loader. It's still in service on the farm. I remember learning to drive it at an early age. No power steering, hard to control for a youngster. 🙂

I like you Dan I think that you are a good man And I love your West Country accent

Very interesting, works well👍 Just need a cushion on the seat the way he drops you down😂 It also brakes the surface to let any rain soak in.

ਖੁਸ਼ ਕੀਤੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧੀਆ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ Wonderful very good information

Nice to see the little lady earning its keep. I know how effective the sun can be in killing the weeds. One year I ran a terra disc through the stubbles to chit it. Left it a while so the weeds did grow. A few days later we had a really hot morning and I was working with a 4 m Kongskilde triple k. Ran that through part of the ground and there was a vast difference between what had been done a second time and what hadn't.

That's great mate what a machine! You be hard pushed find another! My Uncle has Equipment Envy lol? He massive International collector!

Very nice, well entertaining.

I did loads of that beet scufling... with a super dexter and TVO fergey... triple k harrow set for furrow with ...back in the 80s...😆.. helo from ireland..😉

The farm my father worked on before retirement had the same type of set-up except the Ferguson tractor was TVO Petrol to start and Paraffin to run on when she was hot

Thanks for that Dan, I rather enjoyed it! I bet you have to concentrate a fair bit but not bad on a nice day... days like today... Na forgot it thanks!😂😊

Great video, I spy a david brown in the back ground and a massey combine.

Tidy job mr Dan

beet looking good ................ground rock hard here ..........no rain since mid march ........crops and grassland crying out for rain ........

Lovely tractor. Don't think you should paint it, great patina. Especially liking the number plate, YUM haha

Have you ever eaten beet leaf greens? They taste as good as spinach. My grandparents ate those and turnip greens. Pretty good eating.

There where a lot of this type of hoe in our part of Norfolk mainly used for sugar beet

Ya got some depth on those tyres fella. Tidy lil set up.

We have a Nicholson 5 row beet hoe mounted to the front of our DB 885. Originally a rear mounted implement and added another row when we changed our Stanhay beet drill for a Matco 6 row version. A video of it in action is on my channel

Nice video Dan are you going to do a video on the David Brown in the background how many tractors new and old do you have

Hi Dan never seen headlights like those before what is it on the back fo the lefthand lamp? Cracking video cracking tractor 🚜👍

hi Dan what in your opinion makes for the better grey fergi a standard diesel one are the Perkins conversion enjoyed vid 👍

Nice video, always good to see the old kit being used. Also, I couldn't help notice the David Brown 90 series in the background. What model is it and is it yours ?

Spotted the David brown 90 series In the back ground at 0:17 second is it yours ?

Hello Dan it has been a little while since I have talk to you about my MF 1200 I saw on the video that you engage the PTO on your machine. Did you have to push the clutch to engage the PTO ?

Can you do a video on the david brown please

Spent Many days doing that, sitting on there frozen stiff.

My dad had one you are missing the hessian bags.we only grew sugar beet.

My brother used to drive a darn sight faster than your father-"scuffle" as we called it, as soon as you could see the rows then do almost weekly.

Hi Dan how many old tractors have you got Graham

I see a propper tractor behind you at beginning of video a white and red one. 😁

Hi dan is that a 90 series David brown in the background

Great vid what’s the David brown and do you own it

You made a nice job 👍 but not much margin for error!!!!

AFTER ALL THAT CONCENTRATING YOU WILL NEED A COUNTER LUNCH AND A PINT OR FOUR BUT NOT WHILE YOU ARE OPERATING. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.

How many tractors do u own , gotta be close to 15+

no GPS back in the day Dan

Polish the rust off and oil it.
