55 Years of BLUE TRACTORS | FORD to New Holland

[@benwillmoth2957]

I just got offered an internship for this summer being a round and square baler design engineer at New Holland! I can't wait!

[@bigtractorpower]

That’s awesome. Congrats.

[@farming4g]

Awesome history lesson. When my grandpa passed away and his Massey dealership closed down, we switched to New Holland and those blue machines helped our farm grow with some of those quality machines they did produce like the 70 series and the TS series tractors.

[@GICK117]

I'm not a Ford guy these days. But growing up, my Father and his brother were Ford guys. I am still excited to see Ford written on those big machines. I wish they still built and sold tractors today. How easy it would be to purchase then maintain a tractor. If there were any problems, just head to a Ford dealer for resolution. Awesome video dude. Thanks

[@kenking6145]

We owned 3 Ford tractors a 9600, 8600 and a Ford 5000 on our wheat and sheep farm here in Victoria Australia all three were a valuable asset to our interprise and performance wise very little downtime. They are a mighty tractor.

[@Phaller6]

my dad bought a Ford 3000 1966 still remember the ride home from the dealership. since then we bought 14 blue tractors and still using them on the farm. great video

[@bigtractorpower]

Wow very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@josephfinklea3650]

I like all of Ford tractor very powerful work very well.

[@bigtractorpower]

Ford built great tractors. I wish they were still in the tractor business.

[@johnnycampbell5234]

Ford will forever be my favorite, love seeing your videos dedicated to Blue Power

[@bigtractorpower]

Great tractors. I hope to film a few more Ford’s this spring.

[@captaindee6130]

Great video! My maternal grandpa farmed with a 5000 and either an 8000 or 8600. One of the locals had an ex-Versatile Ford Bidirectional 276. The now-retired neighbors chopped our silage for years with an 8630 and then an 8830; as a kid I loved driving them. The 70 series Genesis are classics, and the guy renting the aforementioned neighbor's place bought an 8770 last year. A local custom operator had a pair of high-speed red Genesis 70s - the G190 (8770) and G210 (8870) from overseas. Now I'm running a T8.390 from their last production year -- it's a brute, especially with the power boost. Love that engine brake for pulling a manure tank in these hills. The T8.390 was huge when I bought it, but daggum if it didn't shrink up on me after I drove it a few days!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Great blue history. Thank you for sharing.

[@captaindee6130]

@@bigtractorpower Our area is dominated by John Deere, and all our other tractors are green. But there's always been a pretty good Ford/New Holland presence. Dad used to work the books at the local New Holland dealership, and we now own the field where the old Ford dealer (different business) kept their used inventory before eventually relocating the whole place. We run several pieces of NH equipment along with Deere and a few others.

People seem to think farms keep old tractors,out of love. Everyone seems to forget farming is a business. It’s really kind of sad that we have disassociated farming to the point it’s viewed as a hobby.

[@jamieshields9521]

Great find on NH tractor models, I operate few NH n Ford like 5000, T6080 n T7.210 on dairy farm. Our farm we have two TM125 that does main workhorse work like feeding hay out, sowing with International 511 seeeder, spraying n pulling harvest equipment around. I was lucky get ride in T9 when it was laser grading fields, better for flood irrigation. Super smooth ride with no backache. Other NH driven TW 15, I didn’t like operating as chaser bin tractor. Best NH is TL80 awesome little tractor better then T6 models. Most weirdest NH tractor is Ford 6000 or 7000 with Rubix cube gearbox it took me while to operate into right gear, definitely one for skill operator.

[@jamesaustin3379]

Love the Ford and New Holland tractors

[@bigtractorpower]

Great tractors for sure.

[@locklearfarm6380]

Ford 9600 best tractor ever made. Great video

[@falcon642]

Love blue tractors. Our farm has had several. Considerably cheaper than red or green, reliable, and in some ways very innovative (powershift transmissions). We've had a Ford 7600, 7710 II, 5640, and a TS110. The TS110 is my absolute favorite tractor to load hay bales with.

[@golfy808]

And the TS sounds great to..the turbo whistle

[@brianstreet185]

Drove a 9600 for years, good times!

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool tractor.

AWESOME shot with the T8.390 coming around the corner!

[@bigtractorpower]

That is one of my favorite filming opportunities with both CR8090’s swinging their augers out in unison.

[@nickkercheval2704]

Interesting video and very informative regarding corporate ownership changes. I remember my grandfather having an 8N and turning the rear wheels around to match the rows for cultivating corn in the early 50s. I have a 5000 from the 70s that just sits in a shed now but was a good tractor in its day.

[@jimzoesch5799]

Great video. Learned a lot about the genesis of Ford and New Holland. Thanks for the detailed work on this.

Thank you for watching. Ford was very strong in the UK. The 7610 is a nice tractor. I hope to featuring a Ford FW60 Series IV in the UK this year.

[@davidshort9439]

Just came across this channel, very cool. My grandfather had a Ford 6000 gas engine with the automatic transmission. It was good for hay work, baling, raking, pulling silage wagons but for heavy duty work it would overheat, never could figure it out. My uncle had a Ford 9600 and it would pull a 5-20s plow with ease. Very simple and rugged tractor.

[@johnmessinajr.2591]

You got me with this one!! So much great footage of great equipment!! Loved that 9600, 4000 row crop, and of course that 9700! Thanks for including that 2000. Dad started with a 63 2000 diesel he plowed,disked,planted and sprayed with. With diesel prices then he could run that tractor all day on $2.00 where others were $10. Great job putting this all together!

[@jimwhite1061]

Great video, thanks

[@jimkuhlmeier]

Love the footage of the TV6070, I did not know New Holland still made a version of the old Versatile Bi-directional tractor. Kool!!

[@GeneHunt406]

I think they stopped after the TV6070 in 2014, which is a pity. I think a 105HP was a little limited by right they should have had a range of bi-directional tractor. A 300HP bi-directional tractor with triple mowers would be a great combination.

[@GMdieselman]

Seeing that TW25 at 9:41, man that hits the nostalgia for me. Seeing a Blue tractor with the actual Ford name on the side with a pull type New Holland chopper is almost nonexistent these days. Everything in my area nowadays is all self propelled JD and Krone choppers. Miss the Ford New Holland days.

[@bigtractorpower]

The Ford 8000 is one of the all time great tractors.

[@RyTrapp0]

Here's to hoping we continue to have this Ford/New Holland brand that's always been the major player willing to invest in unique niche and often innovative machinery like the 6070 shown in here, like their early adoption of track systems, especially on fixed frames, etc. None of the other major players have as unique a portfolio as the Ford/New Holland brand does

We had a Ford 9000 on the farm. I'm from up North. It was the only tractor we used year round. Awesome tractor. Hardly ever had any problems with it. Now the 2 Oliver's we had. Well let's just say when they ran they were good tractors. But we did have to work on them every year. Also had an 8n another awesome light duty tractor. It ran and ran would not stop. But it was more of a yard tractor. No real field work. Stretch alot of Barb wire fences with it!
