GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to KZbin. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating farming machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry, and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen​, we would love to have you.

Good man Alister.. .. at least you are having a bit a craic during the pull... most the other drivers were like zombies... the concentration on your face up the hill was very amusing....

[@allistairc123]

I was listening as hard as I could and watching RPM lol

[@jamesoneill3475]

@@allistairc123 ...hey I notice at the start of the pull you hit the gearstick twice when changing gears... are you skipping gears..

[@allistairc123]

@@jamesoneill3475 the gears are very close ratio and no ranges and you can't skip them so I'm banging through them as fast as possible. Three or 4 of my gears are about the same as one gear change on an old gearstick

Photo finish 📸 Nice to see the lads enjoying themselves 😁

[@SimonKL11]

That was a close fight😁👍 both tractors are real beasts👍😉

[@donnellykieranj]

Best race so far.

[@ronniehoyle9671]

The Massey 2t heavier and giving away 25hp, the Ford should have wiped the floor....good one Massey Ferguson 👍 The best race so far 👍👍👍

[@allistairc123]

Ford smaller engine and 15 year older technology...

@@allistairc123 Should had a rematch against the John Deere, the start was way better in this round :)

@@allistairc123 power to weight , ford and massey both had traction , match them up equally would be a different matter after the chip look what big red did to the green taxi

[@opgeblazenstream9554]

That 2t extra is just easier for the mf to pull it above

[@rolnics]

Great race! Even better sound, what more can you ask for.....?!

Wasn't much in them to be fair.

[@zimmermanservice7474]

Massey 👍💪

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Have to say the CVTs are all performing strong except for the ZF I the john deere.

[@crfarmlife1267]

The 8970 did well considering the weight difference

[@joeschipper6465]

There was nothing in it great seeing it now was impossible to just from the bottom of the hill lol

[@marteinsks6979]

2nd round Massey front linkage got it over the line , look at the front wheels the newholland beat it, more or less dead heat for both with out splitting hairs , if long-distance i would say the new holland would gain the advantage

[@zimmermanservice7474]

The Massey is two ton heavier and has 25 less horsepower. Blue should have been way out front. Massey put the power to the ground well
