EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COUNTY TRACTORS IN 16 MINUTES.

In this video, we detail the history of County Commercial Cars, County tractors, and Ford converted machines... From their rise, to their demise.

Good information. Saw one recently in the states and had to research them. Looked like a beast with those big front wheels.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@obryan240 Yeah they are a powerful looking machine alright. Thanks for watching 👍

We bought a new 1164 County clocking up 6,300hours on our 10,460 acre farm at Scaddan in South East of Western Australia. The main trouble we had was the small radiator struggled on any day over 100 degrees during harvest (which most were). The 4 wheel drive was great in our heavy clay country.

@@ChookHendo I can imagine with the heat of Australia how some machines might struggle.. I spent a year in WA. Perth and down through the wheatbelt to Esperance. It got crazy hot some days. Us Irish boys aren't used to it 🤣 Thanks for watching 👍

Brilliant and impressive reg. history of County-tractors, Alan Corrigan! 🙂👍

Alan, another very enjoyable video. When you think of some of the great brands like Leyland/Marshall, Muir-Hill and County (to name just a few), it is amazing how changing market conditions can lead to the quick demise of such iconic companies. The tractor market is now really dominated by a small group of very powerful companies.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@gerardhennessy3399 Very true Gerard. A lot of them are owned by the same umbrella companies like AGCO and CHN etc. Thanks for watching 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Well done Alan especially having to do the video twice. 👍 Very annoying but been there myself. There is huge demand for these now as you say, some are crazy money.👍👍👍

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@FlyingFergyMan Thanks Cathal.. Money in the bank they are. And a better return on investment than most pension plans 😃

[@ianmckay1780]

Before it even starts I'm excited with anticipation, I love County tractors esp the 1884.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@@ianmckay1780 Hope it lived up to your excitement 😁

[@stevehill4615]

We've got a Muir Hill, a County crawler (along with Track Marshalls) and one you didn't mention a factory built County loading shovel (apparently 16 were made, basically a County set up to run backwards with a bucket loader where the 3 point hitch would've been) that we're slowly putting back together.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@@stevehill4615 Hi, thanks for that. I'll look it up 👍

[@eamondempsey3018]

Hi Alan. Good video. Its interesting to see the rise, fall and rise again of the county brand.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@eamondempsey3018 Thanks, Eamon.. yes, it mad the way things go.

[@patkelly7999]

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Nice to see you again.

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Alan Another very informative and interesting video on one of the most iconic tractors in their day I drove one once in my life for just half a day, you'd need to be in a twenty acre field to turn it. You need to have a serious word with your sound engineer, after you putting in all the effort and ending up with a silent movie. Keep on keeping on

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@patodwyer721 Thanks Pat.. Unfortunately, I have nobody to blame but myself for the sound 😅

[@eamonmcgrath6798]

my father has a county 1124 super 6.it has the Duncan safety cab. he had be offered serious money for it but he won't sell it.😅

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@@eamonmcgrath6798 I wouldn't sell it either 🤣

[@eamonmcgrath6798]

@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery it's running and drives but needs a tidy up but driving it can be weird because steering is not great in locking

[@JohnPower-b3p]

Are you doing the masseyferguson 165?

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@@JohnPower-b3p Yes, I am nearly finished restoring my one. I have a full video on the 100 series if u want to check it out.

[@richardthomasmillican3980]

The company I worked for had a C Reg (1985), Ford Transit 1.5 t pick-up, 4 wd County conversion. It was not a success to put it mildly, very poor turning circle and heavy steering. A complete dog to drive compared to our B Reg standard Transit pick up. It didn't have a passenger seat on delivery from new, as I believe it was overweight on the front axle.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

@@richardthomasmillican3980 That's interesting. Thanks for watching 👍
