FORD 8210 NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

welcome back to another episode of farming life at la forge. In this weeks video we have another new tractor, a Ford 8210. We bought this tractor a few weeks ago and we will be showing you on this video the tractor arriving, some touch ups dad is doing in the garage including adding a john deere hitch, and then we will show you around the tractor, drive it so you will get to see it running. Also we have machinery being loaded to go back to Ireland, a hay turner, a plough and a vintage small square baler. hope you enjoy the video!

A beast of a tractor. We have that tractor on our farm. I collect 1/32 scale model tractors myself. I’m looking for that model myself but so far haven’t been successful

Thanks 👍

First Generation 8210! Love them and they are getting rare.....

[@sydsyd]

Ford Tractors are great 👍

[@deanmagnuson2993]

Good morning from Grand Forks

[@martinnewbery3032]

I drove one of those back in the eighties. Ploughing mainly, don't load the engine too much stay in a lower gear than you would normally and rev the engine instead. It will consume a lot less diesel. Good luck with the engine, there is a design ecconomy, the cooloing is pumped in the front of the block and out of the front. The 6th cylinder gets to hot, our one had too be bored out and a liner put in. Good luck with it!! Martin.

[@anthony342]

love the 8210

[@powrotdokorzeni]

nice ford 😃👍 8210 the legend 💙

[@chrisneedham5803]

What a great bloke your Dad is. Loved the dog sat on the tractor tyre. Thanks for your video. Cheers 🍷🍺👍

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@donstravelsandrants.]

So the lorry driver is from Drogheda which is my hometown. I just live four miles outside the town close to the seaside village of bettystown. Enjoying the videos. 😊

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Thanks! yes it's a small world!

[@dlmarquart]

Interesting video

[@bobuncle8704]

Another great video, and another nice Ford tractor. When you’re sitting there with the sunlight behind you streaming through your hair like that it almost like a halo. Are you an angel?

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

yes the 8210 is a great tractor! hahaha maybe I am...

[@siddharthmanderna872]

Ilove ford

[@mattyod73]

Great video as usual, you may need to build a few extra sheds to store the extra tractors but who could blame your dad , we would all do it if we could

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Haha don't be giving him ideas ;)

[@georgemorrison6689]

I am not really a Ford man but Dad obviously is and all the best to him that said its a good clean tractor for an 84 and only 4000 hours it will have plenty in front of it, I had a couple of boxes down so Dad you will manage it no bother, that dog looks a proper cattle dog he's a stock one, let's have some more of your cattle on and may be some of your neighbours cattle as well that would be good to see what farmers round about you are up too, very enjoyable video good effort well done

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Yes, hoping to get some more cattle on here soon, but not a lot going on with them at the moment. Hope your enjoying the channel thanks :)

[@davidbovine]

That’s a nice 8210. I passed my tractor driving test in a 2WD 1983 8210 over 30 years ago. Yours appears relatively smoke free for a Ford, especially one that doesn’t seem to have been worked hard to blast the crud out of the exhaust once in a while!

[@adriannyqvist964]

Tractor driving text? i just did theoritical and then i could drive no problem

[@denncad7174]

nice tractor, used to have one, till it broke in half (fitted a laforge front lift and loaded it to heavy front and back) sometimes forgot to switch between the 2 fuel tanks, but still full of regrets the old girll went iaway

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice 8210, new to your channel and it is great, I love Ford tractors, one reason why I am here

Nicer without the loader savage tractor used drive one with a turbo then ya have some beast can ya get a q cab in France my cousin is looking for one

[@johnmcgee9159]

Do "nicer" tractors get the work done faster?

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

It does look a bit clumbsy with the loader, but we need if for the loader on the second farm :)

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

No but it's true it looks nicer without it ;)

[@user-pe4sx7ey3m]

Are good second tractors 🚜, 07 ,08 100hp expensive, they very dear in lreland

Dont think theres much your father cant do is the 8210 40 km/hr or 36 km/hr on the road?

If it's mechanical he can figure out yes! I believe it's 40km/hr
