Building Tractors in the Largest Tractor Factory in the UK | Ultimate Processes | Free Documentary

[@FreeDocumentary]

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.

Fun fact: this plant used to belong to Ford. Shame they didn’t mention this when they said it had been open since the 60s I grew up going past the plant nearly every day as a child growing up in Basildon.

In 2001 I worked for roush technology in Brentwood Essex ( they do mustangs and Ford GT40 stuff) it was my work experience I was 15, they took me to this factory one day for a tour .. it was amazing !

[@e020443]

It's interesting that this is an assembly and test facility, not a manufacturing plant. The actual creation/manufacturing of the components is all done elsewhere, no doubt where it's cheaper. Well made video all the same.

[@hedydd2]

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.

[@tillyfoxtrotter]

It was a bit misleading in truth, the engines 'produced' at the plant and sent elsewhere has nothing more than paint applied in the UK. All quietly never mentioned. Screw driver plant and little more. We have come along way.

Case and New Holland is the same company = same machines! And 300HP is definitely not middle of the road, as most tractors have less than that and don't need more.

Saw one or two red roofs. Wonder if CASE IH Optum series is manufactured there as well. New Holland T7 is the mid-frame high-horsepower series. The Optum series is basically the same tractor with a few operator control differences and a red n black plant scheme.

[@Matthew-nc9vm]

Yeah maybe, wonder if the T6 is made there. I have a case maxxum and thats made in Austria. Not sure if nh and case have their own factories or they make both in the same since they are practically the same, with the exception of a few small cab tweaks and different colour scheme

[@farminstoltzfus]

@@Matthew-nc9vm yeah, did a quick search and it looks like a lot of CASE IH and Steyr series are built at that Austria plant. I guess if a couple separate plants make cabs and transmissions for both brands, it wouldn't be surprising if they had different assembly plants. Just thought it was odd there was a couple red n black cab roofs in this video.

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.

It varies over time and models. For T6 and T7 the radiators, or some of the several on each tractor, may be made in the UK. Not sure about wiring looms. Some tyres. Not much really.

[@steviespice3037]

not since ford pulled out. i used to drive for brs collecting parts from around the midlands for delivery to basildon

[@hedydd2]

@@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.
