Ford TW25 Lely 9 metre rake

Out with a classic, my lovely TW25 is on the Lely Hibiscus 855cd twin rotor rake and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

[@mukymik6414]

A great video sir, nice explanation of what was going on, amazing how quiet the old girl is with the window shut.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Cheers Mik me ol'mate :)

[@eraaspr1]

absolutely love this kind of video when the viewer can go with you and see how it's like in an ordinary Day on the farm. You are One of my favorites to follow.

[@cibie01]

I have actually watched this video twice so far a bit addicted to listening to that engine if i am honest lol. pleasure to enjoy a real tractor at work and she seems to be running very nice after her recent TLC.

[@billwhitmore3852]

no fancy electronic buttons in the Ford not a computer in sight nice and simple 👍

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Its quite refreshing pulling levers!

[@billwhitmore3852]

[@ihcinternational8761]

+George Saunders is it normal to hear that grinding noise when you shift gears?

[@Mr.M1STER]

I think it is normal enough on old tractors. If ya can't find her, grind her.

[@jeffreyhollink985]

that is becaus it is ah grash box non singron gear box

[@ihcinternational8761]

[@danielsaunders8459]

Great video George

[@steliosdoukoumetzakis5339]

nice camera angles..makes a repetitive job,interesting to watch! well done sir.

[@SproutsandCustard]

That's not smoke that's "rev plume". That's the way a Ford rep described it back in the 1980's :)

[@aministratorgeneral.9298]

would be nice if you done a G,s, mouse mat with the ole t, dub ond co on it ,..with flodge too..

[@mattwilkinson8502]

theres still some of those Ford's running around here close to home

[@WilliamB161]

[@stu1818]

[@nWoMaxodus]

Very nice !!

[@tomforrest7814]

ahh love the smoke can you possibly do an exhaust cam for the Ford and catch some awesome smoke

[@t.farmer7777]

Nice mate. do you ever take the top arms off the rake when going down the road so you dont hit tall trees etc?

[@tomasmetti7138]

Do a video on all of your tractors plays

[@RFagricontracting]

The tw looks in fairly good nick boss, has she had a re spray in her life or just looked after? And how many hours has it done?

[@quiquo9320]

Why you use the rope for the hydraulic? Sorry for my english but im italian

[@hannese1470]

very nice vid George, and this may be a stupid question but i am only trying to learn: for what is the rope that you always have to pull for the unfolding of the rake ?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Hi Hannes, most folding implements have a mechanical lock so that they cannot unfold whilst on the road if the hydraulics are activated by mistake or fail altogether. Hope that helps.

[@hannese1470]

+George Saunders thanks for the answer George and keep up with the vids i am always enjoying them very much, thanks for that

[@thomasmonks6039]

Any idea of new tractors?

[@fergie35X]

Great video George. Engine sounds superb. Are you using additive in the diesel for the TW ?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

I've not been using an additive

[@nickwilson1476]

lol, looks like you zip-tied a foam pad on the side marker. Is that from bumping your head on it all the time?

[@owencrouch3899]

@George Saunders is that you I just saw baking near great Barford?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Yes you spotted me!!

[@joepenrith5325]

hi George great video's do you ever drive Massey Ferguson's tractors

[@liamsmith1310]

Could I ask George where did you acquire this beautiful TW?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

A farm close to me in Huntington, I'm actually going back up there soon to do a bit of filming, they run a fleet of modern classics 👍

[@liamsmith1310]

@@GeorgeSaunders wow bring back memories for you look forward to it do they restore tractors? I'm restoring a 1974 international 354 on my channel 😀

[@GeorgeSaunders]

@@liamsmith1310 I'll have a look 👍 they don't really restore but they keep them in very good condition.

[@liamsmith1310]

@@GeorgeSaunders glad to hear I like things in original condition

[@davidherreramoreno1311]

buen video George al tractor parece q le cuesta un poco q entre las marchas no

[@Cody-eu5pp]

Could the ford tractor you have run the krone baler if it can can you make a video

[@cathalshannon5853]

You should probably put you foot on the clutch when shifting

[@dstevenpaisley]

How come your not using a fast trac?

[@ThomasSweden]

nice vidio

[@jpw1490]

If one indecator on the rake dosnt work it shouldnt matter too much becose from behind you can see the indocators on the tractor

[@ryancarr2028]

what do you use to record

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Go pro's and Sony handicam

[@williamsimon1711]

Why does he say cheers mate cool

[@timothyalexander2788]

Why's your name William?

[@aaronbambrick870]

because he was thanking the people for letting him out and giving him some space when he was leaving and heading on to the A1

[@aministratorgeneral.9298]

Fords and older tractors and landrovers were designed so they could be fixed in the field with a basic tool box and tools, the machinery nowadays, you have to call someone in with a laptop, its like the basic principles have been lost ..

[@blobby273]

its a BLINKER its supposed to be on n off lol

[@aministratorgeneral.9298]

Sacrificial camera, more raking footage please you arive at the field, then it cuts to where you finish, would like to see more of what happens in between,,

[@Mr.M1STER]

You look tired mate, no offense.

[@mattwilkinson8502]
