[@peterwilson-qj2ds]

Lovely seeing these old tractors and machines working , Happy Christmas.

[@FenlandCrusader]

Thanks Peter all the best 👍

[@freeline3601]

The sound of a perkins P6 is just magical. I'm looking forward to seeing the selene 4 wheel drive conversion.

[@FenlandCrusader]

Thanks it will be soon 👍

[@glennlingard7851]

We had the petrol paraffin e27n back in the day, then my dad bought a Fordson diesel major and that was a game changer for me, also you hit the nail on the head with men and women being stronger than today!

[@FenlandCrusader]

My p/p e27n will be featured on the next episode 👍

[@moorc2730]

Thanks for sharing your videos, it's great to see these old girls working and looking and sounding fantastic.

[@FenlandCrusader]

Thanks my friend appreciated 👍

[@nevillewalker6299]

Grandfather purchased one in 1959 and I spent many many hours ploughing and cultivating. We had the TVO model as well. The P6 pulled a 12 inch by 3 furrow plough with no problem in our clay soil. A railway sack folded kept me dry. A good machine in it's day although I drewled over next doors Fergie.

Nice story 👌

Are bless you mate thanks for the input appreciate it 👍

[@blackhouseengineering5386]

P6 content great. Also love the workshop time. Enjoy the working videos but would like to see more of the technicalities. For example everyone puts up ploughing vids but no one goes through the detail of set up and adjustments. The beauty of KZbin is the content doesn't have to be dumbed down, show us the full job. P6 sounds lovely by the way.

[@FenlandCrusader]

Thanks guys my workshop job's have more details, and i suppose when we're out working the tool's are already set up from the last time, but I get what you mean it would be easy to do a few settings that wouldn't be a problem we'll work towards that in the spring thanks for the input 👍

[@michaelkelly3398]

Great video happy Christmas

[@FenlandCrusader]

Good man have a great one and thanks 👍

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Totally agree what a great sounding engine the Perkins P6 is. I noted on your tractor there is a two position set up in the lift arms, is that for a special application.? The ex army snap bag hung on the air cleaner brings back memories, also sat on the potato planter, that could be a cold job in March :-(. That is a great video thank you for posting. Have a great Christmas & Happy New Year.. P.S. Many years ago when I was a young Boy, we had the E27 Petrol Paraffin model with a winch, that was the only reason we kept it, however Dad asked me to take some seed potato boxes down to the field with it. When I got there instead of turning the Paraffin off to stop it I used the magneto cut off switch, I released it too early before it had stopped - with a huge backfire it blew a hole in the silencer, Farther was less than pleased shall we say.

[@FenlandCrusader]

Hahaha good story, yes it would've had rods to the front for ridgers or similar 👍

[@peterknight1924]

more of rhe cats please, happy new year

[@FenlandCrusader]

Thanks Peter the cat's will be out again this spring, and I'll do a more comprehensive video this time the last video didn't do that good, but we'll keep plodding on. Have a great 24 ,and thanks for the support 👍

[@gparry42]

What an engine, thankyou for sharing !

[@FenlandCrusader]

No problem thank you for looking 👍

[@adamfletcher4262]

truly beutiful tractor and engine

[@philleggitt3005]

I can remember when the TVO ones in good working order were being scrapped for £20, mid/ late sixtys...

[@FenlandCrusader]

@@philleggitt3005 sad 😔

[@rogerwilliams8339]

L grew up with that sound, L steared a TVO model it must be 69 or 70 years a go, L still rember the smell of TVO to this day, one year the lime spreding contractors arived with a p6 model with a gang of about 5 or 6 young chaps because the line was loaded with a hand shovel when loaded one of the lads would take off with the loaded spresder and roar around the field, each time a different lad driving and trying to go faster than his mate, l could not under stand why the engine dod not explode, a very strong engine

[@FenlandCrusader]

Thanks, nice story 👍

[@samdenniss6786]

Can we please have more video of the Farmall

[@FenlandCrusader]

I'll do one In the new year I've got some footage but not enough for a full video thanks for getting back to me 👍

[@kenshort8901]

Love to see the old machinery being used - it brings back some great memories growing up on a farm in Dorset. The implement you are using to cut down the rough grass and weeds (circa 5 minutes in to the video) we used to call a 'swipe' - is that its proper name or a local Dorset nickname?

[@FenlandCrusader]

I would say Dorset there's lots of abreaviations up and down the country 👍

[@kenshort8901]

@@FenlandCrusader What do you call it in Fenland?

[@brianmarshall1637]

My tractor has the Perkins 4 cylindder 4203 engine.
