[@avafw60]

Great video,I was probably as old as the small boy when I remember scenes like this. Very very happy times. When farming was hard work but rewarding

[@kevinevans9792]

The good old days

[@madeljacky]

0:52 Allis Chalmers Roto baler, the fore runner of the modern day round baler. These were the days when farming was farming, very very happy times. Hard work yes but none of the modern day stress

Lovely to see some classics from the 60's. Thank you.

I remember as a small boy watching the local farmers , I suppose I'd have been roughly the age of the young lad in the early 60s . Worth their weight in gold these old films for the memories they provoke . 👍

Having to push the clutch pedal down and stop everytime the baler makes a bale must of shortened the life of the clutch.

Great video Jim, love the Massey 35 🙂

Finally a video without annoying music

[@robertallen3441]

Great to see footage like this. Grew up on a farm myself at about the same time, so all familar scenes. When Massey Ferguson were top of the tree. Went on to repair Massey tractors and combines during my working life, looks like the 20 baler is being 'giving the beans'. Jealous of the 6 wheel trolley @ 6:06 , must have had 2 old prams, only had 4 wheels on mine.

Bit before my time but similar to how I grew up late 70s and 80s. Still had some of that gear then with a few newer ones as well. Love the six wheeler bogie

Great video with a fantastic array of red machinery. Brought back a lot of fond memories growing up and school holidays and nostalgia.
