Harry Ferguson was brilliant, changed farming for the better throughout the world forever.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

Yep, I'd like a demonstration. Do you have any request cards left? ;v)

[@AtmoTacOutdoors]

Love my Ferguson to-30. 70 something years old and still runs like champ.

[@leebuck180]

near the 25 minute mark the operator put his foot on the "highway" peg, thank you Harry Ferguson.

[@travisricks3436]

Harry Ferguson was a genius.

[@ottoneidlinger4938]

I knew how the system worked but I watched every second of this film. I even rewound when the guy hit the metal stakes. I was impressed how the little tractor could lift the heavy implements at the end without the front coming off the ground. No wonder the industry adopted this system. Thanks J and L.

Love my 53 too. A neighbor makes fun of it, but we fed the world under the Marshall plan with such tractors. Trying to find a distributor cap for it right now, but good running tool no mater what.

Good video👍 I love the old ferguson ❤️ Hello from France 🇫🇷

[@russellbarron6775]

Thanks for posting the videos that you do. Just bought a 56 to-35 at auction. This original footage gives a perspective on what was going on then.

[@KRowe]

God bless this tractor! My 53 TO-30 has saved the day too many times to count.

23:48 Rare footage of the rear wheels installed inside out to increase tread width. 16:16 Cool U-turn with the inside wheel blocked 😊 Thanks a lot for uploading !

[@bendermi]

Is there any documentation about the Ferguson 4X4 ?

[@mikeshimel3337]

I love your vids much love

[@JandLVideos]

Thank you!

He lost control when his tie got caught in steering wheel

[@connorarmstrong6762]

I’ve had a TO-30 since 2019 and the fingertip control lever isn’t quite so smooth these days

[@RustyZipper]

Should be under warranty 🤷‍♂️

[@connorarmstrong6762]

Update: replaced the lever fingertip control is restored

[@danielheckmann4898]

The good old Ferguson 👍🏻

[@therealghosthouse]

My dad still uses his

[@rickpaul4383]

What goes wrong, when the hydraulic starts to vibrate ,up and down? Where do you adjust?

[@georgemartinez2741]

Damn it I had a 1950 Ferguson T30

[@zeliacruzsilva2745]

Tenho um exemplar desse que está a venda.. em excelente estado de conservação!

I have once , I would not do it again :)

[@Gugernoot]

How does the pto affect traction on these tractors?

[@thesteelrodent1796]

the PTO is is directly on the driveshaft through a simple clutch, so engaging the PTO creates resistance that causes less power to go into the wheels, which means there's less torque in the wheels when the PTO is on. The opposite happens when they disengage the PTO, which causes the torque that goes into the wheels to exceed the grip of the tires.

[@Gugernoot]

@@thesteelrodent1796 Is there that much parasitic loss from engaging the pto without a powered implement?

[@ericeiden5957]

The pto shaft is what drives the hydraulic pump that controls the draft control. So when he turns off the pto the plows downward force inst carried by the tractor but drug behind it while also digging down deeper.

[@copperhead6132]

I've noticed that the Ford and Fergusons have the carburetor on right side of the tractor while other brands like AC, IH, Oliver, etc. have them on the left.

[@randymagnum143]

They also put the gas tank right over top the engine, for nice hot gasoline.

[@copperhead6132]

@@randymagnum143 i never realized that it was directly over then engine

[@randymagnum143]

@@copperhead6132 i never thought about it until the guy across the street with a 135 asked me how i kept my Allis wd45 from vapor locking in the summer. I never had vapor lock on a tractor, heck, the manifold frosts up even in the hottest weather. (I used to have a 44 Massey Harris, the entire intake plentum would frost up when working ground) The gas tank on the Ferguson's and n series Ford's is directly over the engine and muffler, and the hood acts as an insulator, holding the heat it.

[@copperhead6132]

​@@randymagnum143 I wonder why they thought it was a good idea to put the gas tank right over the engine.
