Classic Silage - Ford 4000/5000 at Glarryford Silage Day 2023

Here's some lovely Ford 4/5000 gear working at the 2023 Craigs Tractor Enthusiasts Silage Day held outside Cullybackey in County Antrim. This was a fundraiser in aid of Air Ambulance Northern Ireland, a really worthy charity. 4000/5000 working with 42" JF FH 112s and a Kidd MK2 double chop.
We have more clips coming from other makes/models including 10 Series Fords, Massey Ferguson and Nuffields working with single and double chop harvesters.
The 4000 at the end is a bit different - it has a 7810 III Series 6 cylinder engine, standard clutch and brakes, power steering, 7000 tyres, oversized fronts, roughly 110HP. Unbelievable machine - pity that the weather didn't help the footage quality for the road sections clips.

I so feel too this video. Ford4000 and danish Taarup - and wagon was of course finnish Tuhti, bigger than those.. That was quite rally days, always watching out weather and then make long days on fields.. We got in Finland also that AIV - formic adid in that and on my farm we put silage to 2towers with crane :) On winter silage was frozen thing.. heavely thing to pick up with silagecrane...

about 1990century coming new age it was Ford 5610 and special YLO haychipper and more bigger Tuhti M85 haywagon.. Now those new things are those white haybales and contract working and co-operating with New Hollands. My brother keep farm now, and Ford4000 is still in use. For little things.

Thanks for watching! Everything has got so big now, with contractors in and out in a day or less. We like seeing the smaller scale stuff that still does a job. Memories from the good days.

Great to see the Fraser trailers. Spotted a yellow New Holland double chop in the field. Any clips of her?

[@OldSchoolNI]

Thanks John, yes there was a 7840 with a New Holland 341 double chop. Keep an eye out for that video coming soon.

Health and safety wouldn't be to happy about those tractors with no roll bar or cab!! Still have a Frazer trailer like that,they had a habit of bouncing out of p.u.h.

[@OldSchoolNI]

Aye your probably right! Hard to beat the old Frasers.
