I used a Major a lot when I was a teenager considering their era there was nothing to touch them until the early 70's. I was always amazed how easily they would start in any weather also. On paper the Major didnt have mega power like the tractors of today, but it took a pretty powerful 70's or 80's tractor to achieve their pulling grunt.

Nuffield 66/10 was a good tractor in its day fella

Wish Ford still made tractors.I like the Ford Dearborn line of farm equipment that they use to sell in the USA back in the 1950s It was good equipment for the money. I buy it now when I come across it.

How about a super dexta

[@martykonkus3338]

@@vincehealy7602 my personal favorite is the massy Ferguson 390. I Particularly enjoy the mf 390 for its reluctant reliability, and it’s sporty body lines

[@francoisgirard2306]

I have a 1957 Fordson Major Diesel. The Major, unlike the Super Major, has only Drums Brakes, the governor of the injection pump is a vaccum type instead of a centrifugal type, the hydraulic doesn’t have the auto level feature, power is only 40hp instead of 54, and no diff lock. My Grandfather bough it almost new in 1959, and the tractor has been extremely reliable despite very poor maintenance.

[@tractorbarnproductions2009]

Sounds very nice indeed!

[@davepayne586]

i drove a major for years, out in the fields plowing good tractors.

[@Bret4207]

I'd grab a Super Major even today. Great tractors.

[@bluegtturbo]

Me too... Sick of expensive computerised modern tractors that cost a fortune to repair

[@nigelchurch4573]

I loved the Power Major.

The major series of tractors are a good tractor.

My uncle bought Fordson super major tractor 1962,he died in 1989, and it is still with his grandchildren,but is a scrap...!

[@jankotze1959]

Good old Super Majors, and then the stunning Major 5000

[@buzzytrains9037]

so good that victorian railways literally made locomotives out of them, the VR rail tractor

[@ClaremontClassicGarage]

What a spectacular machine

[@nicostenfors5690]

Would love a Super Major, mine is just a standard Major.

[@sukhbeersingh7938]

I have listened lot of its merits from my Dad especially related to its massive and higher quitly material, low fuel consumption, awesome pulling power. Even today it is my dream especially due to its very classic look but it is very difficult and expensive to bring it to my motherland Punjab.

[@hamish2202]

I would still buy one today im sure allot of people would they are proven still around working

[@1nthechamber19]

I agree. I have 1958 super major and it still works like a charm, wouldn’t trade it for anything

[@dariojesusbancheromontero5171]

La verdad una línea que nunca pasa de moda es como el Ford 5000

[@gerthezsgerthezs213]

Super great! ⭐👍

[@claesmansson9070]

Just traded one together with a Ferguson te20 gasoline newpainted with 480 mm s reartires on for a MF 35x, runs ok, has a 6 m s constructionlift on it, but needs some new bushings and o rings here and there, and new rearaxle seals, started making a cab on it, and renewing the two instruments, must have temp and oilpress gauge on, maybe engine would like a test of the injection nozzles after 61 years and 8000+ hours on the meter, before someone liked to smash the glass.

I wonder if it was true when someone said their super major outperformed a 5000?

[@yusufabdullah9858]

I rebuilt the engine on my father's super major and the 5000 couldn't pull the load like it.

[@adenspeers3389]

Fordson E1A type majors will out perform a 5000 any day

عندي نفس هذا الجرار موديل ٥٧ على ما اعتقد ولكن حولته الى جرار ٤٧٠ فرات.

[@baazigaj9125]

whats the difference between major and super major

[@tractorbarnproductions2009]

Basically in specification, although thye look the same the Super Major came with differential lock and live drive hydraulics as well as a few other changes, it was the ultimate evolution of the Major first seen in 1952 that arrived in 1960

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Don't know why this is advertised as a 'Tractor Barn Production' - all of this footage is actually taken from 'Second Sight Productions' who requested the original footage from the manufacturer, to use it under licence. I have the whole series on DVD.

[@tractorbarnproductions2009]

None of the footage is taken from Second Sight Productions, it is Ford Motor Company promotional material that we have permission to use after compiling and writing the scripts for the DVDs for Second Sight Productions who are no longer in business. Naturally the same films are used and we use clips such as this to promote those original Second Sight Productions DVDs that we still sell on our website
