Plowed or Ploughed ?

A very interesting film, (full of nostalgia for Me). Thank You.

All modern equipment to My experience. I rode on the home made baling sledge,, staking bales 5 high, then pushing the stacks off with a hop pitcher. I worked from 12yrs to 16 yrs old - 1956 to 1960 - then went to work for NAAS, which later became ADAS.

7.11 learn Young Man - Grandad is holding the diesel drum the right way up! He's a graduate- from 'The Life Time of Farming" University

How much money did you get off that field and how big was it

Sledge needs more grease....!!

Love the 400. The old ones are the best

What does it cost to bore for water in the UK ?

Growing up on a small farm has to be the greates life ever and you will never know it until you get older.

Brilliant video 🚜🚜

What a disappointment your title was farming like it's 1960 and the only piece of kit I saw that was from 1960 was the combine the Massey Ferguson tractor was from the 100 range and the only came out mid to late sixty's the baler is from the 70s/80s the cooks sledge you slated so was from the 80s and only in need of some tlc and (Percy) looks to be a Tafe copy of a MF35 from the 1980s and there is no excuse for running it with no brakes all parts are really available and dirt cheap

How did you predict my future??

Sometimes you can’t win with combining barley along with any other crops, hopefully next year will be different, we have an international 1460 axial flow combine, you think your straw is chopped short, ours comes out like chaff lol, trying to bale that is a bloody nightmare, we try to bale it at night when there is some dew on it but it’s still a struggle sometimes.

Man driving combine inviting accident to the unloading auger.

where is your farm located?

Nice job 😊

Good educational video👍

I grew up on a farm in Southern Ontario, Canada with MH/MF tractors. This sure brings back a lot of memories. Times were much simpler then. 😊

at least mo computers and electrics to go wrong

What’s with the adverts mid video, load of shite for fuck sake.

Sick of all the adverts will not be watching any more videos!

Did you get rid of the bale sled? I am interested in it.

"Ok, we'll be there directly"........ A standard reply. Very interesting, I've never seen a bore hole drilled. Had to install electrical supplies for some in my area of North Devon.

This is fantastic, just subbed!

Cool! Much more interesting lifestyle than the suburban one I have.

When I was 8 yrs old, in 1960, our bailer was a late 40s McCormick, I think it had a canvas pick-up lifting the hay, with its own Wisconsin engine, and no pto hook up… the tractor was a Ferguson 30, our bales were long, and about 100lbs… I drove that rig…

Great and heart warming video. Spent a lifetime with farmers large and small. MF distributor in sixties and own mobile Agricultural Engineer for rest of time to retiring at seventy, all makes and models and industrial as well but happiest out in the field. Wonderful people and great machinery in all weathers. I watched this man making an adjustment to the combine and just wish I could be there to help, getting on now but still get about among old customers and help with preparations for hay and harvest etc. wish you a long and happy time a video to lift the hearts old blokes to be sure.

Your are so lucky to do this job. I wish I had a job on the farm .Happy days I the 70s.

Spotted the video while looking through and the bales and the flat eight reminds me childhood my father having 5 conventional balers that be contracted out and then it changing to the Hesstons which was massive adjustment

This is why we bought our first digger… And it did 1500 hours in its first year on our place and basically paid for itself!

Nice video, especially interesting to see Percy. Is it a 539 or 533? I sold my '77 533 last year because i needed a faster tractor as i use it on 2 locations which are 5,5 miles from each other, but it was a great machine for the sort of work that didn't need a very strong engine. For mowing and working smaller plots it's excellent. Howcome it doesn't have headlights?

I'm guessing this is a u tube clown show for u tube. Who would ever put a 10 foot reel on a header for a 410 combine.

This is exactly how I play Farm Simulator :) I couldn't care less about the big modern stuff :)

1:02 It's an open front header as opposed to a comb front header

Brings back memories when i was a kid an my dad worked on the farm,taking my dads flask of tea and old gas mask bag for a lunchbag full of sandwiches when he was combining . The Life was so slower in those days, when we mived to the farm in 1976 there were 8 full time workers, it was originally beef cattle and arable, when my dad retired in 1997 there were two men, now theres no full time Workers and all work is done by contractors in hrs not weeks, a real sad affair. Thank you for helping bring back the good old days , brought a smile to my "57" yr old face

Brought back memories for me with the combines and the tractors. The first tractor I had was a fordson major with no cab I also had Ferguson 65 a Nuffield and Finnished with a Ferguson 165 all the tractors I drove where all polished and I looked after them.

Ahoj. Teda chlape , jedním slovem paráda. Krásný souhrn sezony na farmě. Ať se daří . God bless.

I hated those old MF combines. You could never get to the engine and they started a lot of fires in the fields in Kansas.

Just found you! Great story! Do you ever find any Roman artifacts in the fields?

I was 7 years old in 1960...the oldest son. 120 acre farm. A 2 and a 3 bottom plow. 2 row planter. 4 row cultivator. A single row corn picker. 10 foot drill. A pull along combine. 12,000 chickens we fed by hand. 20 sows-farrow to finish. Fed out 20 steers. Dad worked in town. I plowed, disked and harrowed a lot...and cultivated. My sister-who was a year older and I fed the chickens and I fed the steers-climbing up the silo in the winter and throwing down silage. The good old days ;)

For fuck sake. Buy a round baler . Or a bigger shed 🤣👍

My family enjoys the same problems too chap . Get them kids busy learning , we’re getting old 🤷‍♂️🤞

I love old equipment it's gonna last longer than the new for sure

Excellent video. Worked for a Massey Ferguson dealership from 1974 till 2002. Great to see the red kit getting a good workout as intended. Combine looks excellent for its age, obviously been looked after and kept undercover. Im sure it will still be trundling around the field when all the modern combines have gone to meet their makers.

Thanks for that brings back a lot of great memories might have been hard work but didn't know any other way at the time 👍👍

Looks like you need some wedges in the chamber, she is spitting out to many to quick

Have just seen this 😂😂 very good keep it up I’ve never seen your old man so serious

The tractor on the trailer looks a bit more modern than the 1960’s haha!!!!

Fantastic video..brought back great memories when i worked for a local farmer back in the 80's too the mid 90's..was so impressed with his massy ranging from a 135. 165 168 188..within 7 years moved on up made the 165 redundant and invested in a 240 and a 390.within 2 more years the 168 became redundant and he bought another 390T..was mainly into patateo's and tillage barley and winter sugar beet. Always more so enjoyed summer patateo picking 4 stone paper bags back braking work shaking stalks and filling bags. Personally my favourite tractor at the time was the 188 white tarpoling cab plastic windows except the windows on the door and windscreen wiper was pure crap..but over all that 188 was a great tractor well able too pull the 390 out of the odd trench in the headland now and again while rotavating..👍👍🤣🤣🫣🫣🤟🤟Again great memories thanks for your video and hope terrance and percy are still doing great work for you..👍👍🤟🤟💕

Just like being at my grandfathers small holding in the 60's and 70's and his gray Fergie. Just not long bought a more modern tractor. 1974 David Brown 996. No brakes,slow to start and poor hydraulics. Working on it to restore it. My other tractor 1955 Fordson Major. M😀 Good vid.
