Hey guys, I hope you enjoy today's video! I've had a lot of requests to do a video on how to drive the JD, so here we go! Also, what tractor do you think we're getting this week? Hope everyone is keeping safe! 😎

[@joshwhyte9074]

Maybe an old ford

[@killianmurphy8527]

What made you go for the 8r over the 7r

[@victoria-dawn]

My father was a farmer, in the late 1950s I remember him driving a Massey Harris 744D with no cab then onto Fordson Majors his last tractor a 1964 County Super 4 in the Early 1970s so your old Fords would of been superb and the John Deere unbelievable to him. Love your Vlogs thank you

[@NicksFarm]

Thanks for the comment Dawn, 😁

[@matthewwinn4198]

Hi Nick, I am 7 and watching your video with my daddy and we think you are buying a new Holland. And I gave you a thumbs up.

[@NicksFarm]

Thanks Matthew, and thanks to your dad too! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@ginggur17]

Loved this Nick, sounded lovely going up through the gears.

[@NicksFarm]

Thanks 👍

[@Cayman306]

Hopped in a 8335R today took a bit of learning but got her figured. This is a great video describing how to drive it. I’m used to running a Massey 8530 with a Dyna-VT transmission. Completely different tractors. We still run 3 old Ford TW-10 over here in Alberta.

[@kelvingravel8699]

Great video again Nick, thanks again for all your videos throughout the year, hope you have a fantastic Christmas 🎄,stay safe.

[@NicksFarm]

Thanks Kelvin 😁

[@JMFarming]

Good video Nick! I had always wondered about the transmission in this tractor! Looking forward to seeing what's arriving on the farm!

[@NicksFarm]

Cheers dude 👍

[@colmkennedy3109]

Good video Nick 👍

[@wallaceloan4169]

Great video Nick and interesting in how to drive the 8270R. She is a sweet yoke to have on your farm. There is nothing she can't or won't do. Look forward to seeing your new toy when she comes.

[@NicksFarm]

Thanks Wallace 👍

[@ryanagate228]

Lovely looking tractor the 8 series..

[@cheechU38K]

Hey Nick, do you want to take the wrap challenge? I think you’ll beat funky farmer & ginger moustache 😉

[@MatthewOdea-hz4sq]

The jd8270r is the perfect size tractor for ur caltivating n planting I'd say ud need 260 but the extra 10 is way to go such good tractors n simple to drive aspecaily that ones super easy good video keep up the good work

[@roberthiggins6401]

Not on Instagram Nick. I'll guess new Holland or another JD. Look forward to seeing it.

[@xrsuperduper7660]

What a beast!

[@stephenwebster7960]

Great video again very nice tractor is it a new Holland t7 stay safe and happy Christmas 🎄

[@paulkelsall6600]

It’s got to be a 155R just to even up green against blue on the farm if not it should be they are brilliant merry Christmas to you, dad & all the family 👍

[@ginggur17]

Hi. Looks on par with the 69 that I drove last, well, simpler I guess. Is this like the newer models when starting with the key, as in turn key to start, let go and she will operate starter until she fires?

[@casto-]

So I guess the fendt 1050 is out of the running then??🤣. Nice walk round on the big girl, always nice to have something modern for a long days work.

[@NicksFarm]

Cheers mate, I’m not saying a word 🤫 😂😂

[@andrewwhite5555]

Great video like the deere but had issues were I work was all grren and yellow 6930 primiums had 2 both had cylinder head problems and turbo issues both around the same hours now run all case pumas with no issues would like to try the r series so can't judge them happy Xmas to you and your dad all the best for 2021 from Yorkshire

[@NicksFarm]

Cheers Andrew, merry Christmas 👍

[@themeparkkieran4573]

Think you have gone for a McCormick something like an x7 maby 🤔 (And would you ever buy or try a massey out?)

[@simongoodwin2035]

Evening Nick, It was good to talk to your dad the other day in the timber yard, hope i helped him out with some suggestions for the roof, I would guess you"ve bought a 6830/ 6930P?

[@NicksFarm]

Yes he did mention he bumped into you, 😁 good guess, all will be revealed soon...

[@dennyb2354]

Great video Nick, I think it’s a New Holland 155 to keep the old TW company, have a safe n Merry Christmas.

[@NicksFarm]

Thanks Denny, lots of guesses, all will be revealed soon 😁

[@barryfulls6707]

Hi Nick. Is the Volvo FH a farm truck or just parked at your farm ?

[@davidsmith4118]

Heyyy awesome 😎 where you from man?

[@lukepalmer2126]

What made you pick a bigger low spec tractor rather than a smaller high spec tractor. Surely it's cheaper to buy a 6r with front pto 50k and that?

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video of the tractor nick, why is there always cones out in your yard? (Left of tractor ) does your dad or you hold a hgv licence? Hope you have a nice Christmas together and new year. Enjoy your new case.

[@NicksFarm]

Cones are to stop delivery drivers going on the plainings, we want to get that part of the yard concreted really... nope neither of us have hgv, we have a chap who works for us who does 👍

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

Interesting vid, Nick. What do you use all those gears for? I guess that you need a different range for road and field work, but it still seems like a lot to a non-farmer like me. How does the range divide up? What sort of work would you be doing through the range?

[@NicksFarm]

Basically gives you a very slow speed in gear 1 (hardly used that slow haha) right up to top speed in 16th, 1-10 used more in field, and gears 11-16 for road use 👍

[@NicksFarm]

When cultivating for example I’ll probably be in 7-10 depending on the job

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

Thanks Nick. What gears would you use for ploughing (I know that you don’t do much of that)?

[@NicksFarm]

We don’t much in the way of traditional ploughing, but general rule is about 6-8kph, but of course depends on ground conditions, I guess that would be gears 5-7 ish at a guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

Thanks Nick. I take it that the lowest gears are reserved for exceptional jobs maybe something like pulling a lorry out of a ditch? All interesting to this townie! Love your vids, looking forward to the next one😀

[@joeinglis132]

I say ur getting that mccormick tractor u was looking at

[@johnlewins4523]

I’m going to quests it’s a newer fastrac.. replacing the sprayer tractor.... or a modern classic... tm150/ jd6930.. for a run around tractor..

[@NicksFarm]

Good guesses John ....

[@vxnova1]

Got a question, what does the draft control do?

[@NicksFarm]

Basically keeps your implement on the back from being rigid, gives it up and down movement which is adjustable. A good example would be when I was chisel ploughing, you don’t want it pulling through the ground too rigid so I set the draft to allow a bit of movement 👍 hope that makes sense

[@2007Tarkus]

The JD looks good from the outside but you will never beat a CNH / New Holland / Ford Basildon tractor long live the blue tractor

[@joeinglis132]

Y not do on Facebook as well

[@EmmaJo-e]

A John Deere tractor.... My dad always drove tractors,when we lived on the farm,a bit bumpy,no suspension,they didn't have those computerized things they do now.🐄🐎🐂

[@farmingyear3972]

Happy Christmas 🎄 to you and your family love the video good work love the jd I do work with Mf tractor but now I am with jd now Bit of a giveaway what are you are when my profile picture is the time is a Massey thank

[@Paul-vd2sp]

Is it a blue one? I mentioned a Ford 8630 or TM 155/65 a couple of weeks ago and got no reply from you? You said that you never replied to the comment someone made?

[@NicksFarm]

Hi Paul, I can’t remember that, but like I said I try to respond to most comments, sorry if I didn’t reply... but I won’t give anything away just yet 😉😂😂

[@Paul-vd2sp]

Hi Nick thanks for replying - I was just hoping I'd got it right Lol!!!! Looking forward to seeing what it is. Have a great Christmas. Cheers Paul. 👍 ☺

[@joekehoe1424]

Would u ever think bout buying the new 8 serious Massey nick

[@NicksFarm]

We don’t have a Massey dealer near us, and I’ve never driven one, but I’m up for giving one a go sometime 👍

[@samnadin3903]

[@cptlatency428]

When buying tractors of this sort do you pay monthly? I highly doubt it would be possible to buy a large tractor directly in one payment

[@kalle8836]

it varies from farm to farm but it can be split into 4 payments a year and similar

[@michaelcard9288]

New Holland

[@NicksFarm]

Who knows.... 😆

[@maddog2866]

Massey Ferguson 6715 S/7715 S
