Ford TW25 ploughing, hard going!

Having a bit of fun and putting the TW to a bit of hard work and she was working hard! pulling six 12inch furrows at about 4.5mph, now all the ploughing is done the duals will be going on for top work

[@darrenholland6049]

great machine george.love the old ford.

[@kubanskiloewe]

as an old Ford mechanic i would say ...this is well balanced ;-) greetings from germany !

[@mukymik6414]

That cleared the old girl's tubes, nice video with some great angles, awesome!!!

[@nemesisandy2193]

Love these old Fords! They sound great!!

[@darrenholland6049]

what a great tracter this is.

A bit nostalgic for me…… Nearly 20 years since I was last in the UK, but then for several seasons in the 1990s I used a similar TW25 and green five furrow rig to plough a couple of farms nearby in Cambridgshire….. After finishing shearing for north Bedfordshire shearing contractor. Then I was based at the St John's Arms in Melchbourne. Interesting to see the countryside in the videos. Must get back to check it out again some time. Was a bit of a step up on the MF35 I first ploughed with in Canterbury NZ back in the mid 1970s

[@kubanskiloewe]

12:56 we always said " where is smoke there is fire" ...times are gone

[@mikeclifton7778]

Can't beat a bit of "rolling coal" action!

[@cibie01]

Now thats a good work out for her, hope you can find some more weigh for the front end make her bite a bit more George. great to see and love that shot under the axles brilliant.

[@pat8866]

[@user-rd7zb7bs3h]

[@todlindley8101]

[@aministratorgeneral.9298]

Love the contrast btween the fast track and the t, dub, "come on son i,ll show you how its done",. lol..

[@Lancaster730]

I still love the COUNTY thou , - Made in Fleet Hants 5 miles away from where I live

[@GEORGEZIPPY]

Spent many an hour on a TW 25 great tractor 30 years ago! Before that I had 9700! Have to say though, when my old man got me a 4650 I thought I'd gone to heaven! The Ford couldn't hold a candle to the big JD! Great videos George! Takes me down nostalgia lane!😀

[@carlrummey8401]

Nice one mate

[@joebarton2700]

She's a good clean runner, some of the tws I've seen would be obscured by smoke when working that hard

[@koenmarist7857]

Very very nice

[@chrisboonlom3166]

Nice to see a TW at work nowadays. (The reg on this TW ends in VL..so maybe supplied new by Harris's of Epworth..?) Amazed at the nit-picking comments below too..enjoy the vid ffs!

[@juusovuoristo1573]

why only 12inch furrows? is there something with the soil that you cant use 14 or 16inch plows

[@edrowling8217]

Keep that good old girl go'in

[@melvingduncan]

you ot to get that wheel change over sorted George be a lot easier on the old girl great to see the her pulling like a wild thing! ye ha

[@mikeclifton7778]

Certainly giving the old girl a good workout, better than her standing in a barn being looked at!

[@christopherrolfe4543]

Was this video before the turbo and manifold replacement

[@7810ftw]

my poxy dowdswell does the same thing with the depth wheel lol

[@johngell4842]

Brill video george bet you were smiling extra wieghts and she be right

[@dannymiester5825]

Nice Tw, maybe being a bit hard on her though. 1 furrow too many perhaps

[@torbenalstrup3902]

Its a 150 hp tractor. It should handle 6 x 12" just fine. Fords always smoke a little when they are put to work. That said the soil looks really dense. That can soon require 10% extra hp to pull the plough through

[@dannymiester5825]

@@torbenalstrup3902 it maybe 150hp but it's probably about 35 years old or more, I just meant maybe give the old girl a break

[@kubanskiloewe]

hm, she´s doing quite well for her age.....we had a 150hp SAME and 5 furrow were max because tractor was perhaps not heavy enough.

[@torbenalstrup3902]

2 x150 liter of water in the front wheels on the Same does wonders. You are correct, tha Same ks kinda light. Good sometimes, bad in other situations

[@torbenalstrup3902]

Another thing that is almost always left out in the comments is which size cut. There is a significant difference in power requirement between a 16" and a 20". 5 x 16" in normal to clayish soil should be a piece of cake to pull for a 150 hp tractor, whereas 5 x 20" can put a 150 hp tractor to work.

[@marctack6034]

Bonjour George pas de problème avec le relevage ? (6 socs)

[@louisegoffin842]

❤

[@OragroundcarePlantHireMadeley]

How do you get a 125 hp tractor pulling a 6 furrow plough in heavy going uve not even slatted boards crikey

[@jeffreyhollink985]

thats becaus its crankt up two 159 hp

[@markleonard4868]

150HP NOT 125

[@muttgusse]

a little to big plow there! but i like it!

[@mjmsoundlight5]

+Gustav Andersson Its not too big...perfect mate to the tw25 actually

[@user-hw2pi2xh3k]

Is this tw25 gen ii??

[@SaoPauloNX]

sounds like a train engine, hehe:)

[@petessite]

did i see may-weed you were ploughing under ??? could be sour ol land ?? need some lime on er George !!!

[@fingersmccracken4235]

soil looks really hard, alot of clay

[@cantbyou3086]

Wow we put the duels on for this work to eliminate any wheel slippage, slipping wheels is a waste of fuel and power, we have even gone to the radials for the bigger foot print the tires have.

[@andrewhutchinson1570]

me thinks tw is too tired for that job

[@ginggur17]

Sweet to see the ole girl scratting

[@raven_hawk_1736]

[@19Dad84bod]

[@herbhouston5378]

Is it not possible to find drivers who know what their doing?

[@joshoweragriphotography154]

+Herb Houston in what way ?????

[@andrewmorley1225]

+madmax ower In the way you're saying the person driving doesn't know what they're doing. Why is this?

[@joshoweragriphotography154]

well they are just testing the tw on the plough nothing wrong with that is there

[@andrewmorley1225]

+madmax ower no, its a good video

[@joshoweragriphotography154]

+Andrew Morley Yes exactly but some people think it's stupid or something

[@koenmarist7857]

Me j have tw 25 with tm pouwerstar motor 7.5 liter un exploision my father tw 10 with 8670 pouwerstar motor un bom

[@bartdereu9267]

So sad that their engines were crap. Other then that, for its time the best tractors you could get.

[@jamesblade6684]

Best you could get apart from crap engines! That’s a pretty major caveat there mate!

[@jamesf8651]

[@iancoupe20v43]

[@2xxx2xxx21]
