Finally we get to show you tractors! Big tractors! As we’ve seen, they’re useful in war situations too. So enjoy! In this episode, Francesca Chiorando goes inside the largest tractor factory in the UK to see how they build their newest bespoke tractor. We now know that tractors can steal big weaponry.

Yes, the engines are machined and assembled in Italy and most transmissions are machined and assembled in Belgium, matched with Italian axles front and back. French cab frames. Very little UK content so it remains to be seen how the new Brexit UK content regulations will effect this assembly-only factory. The work done in Basildon can be done in any adapted shed anywhere with very little capital investment.

I did see some Case IH in the background. They should have been mentioned. I toured the Case IH plant in Fargo ND that makes the big articulated tractors, there were a very few NH versions there. Its impressive what these tractors can do now, but older used tractors are selling for insane money because they work and can be fixed without proprietary software.

@@steviespice3037 Ford pulled out or sold its tractor division to Fiat just before the launch of the 40 series, so that would be back in the very early 1990’s. However they still machined and assembled engines at Basildon, albeit with no forging facility, so blocks, cranks and other major parts were imported to be finished at Basildon, until the demise of the Powerstar or Genesis engine when the TM series and 40 Series were replaced. At that time, Iveco/CNH NEF engines were fitted. These are imported from Italy.

Very few issues. Main one being a synchromesh hub in the Range Command semi-powershift 18 forward 6 reverse transmission.
