[@sheldon6993]

That shuttle would drive me nuts!!

[@thefunkyfarmer]

tractors fitted with a hydro clutch so not the same issues as a conventional one. some valid points made though

[@thefunkyfarmer]

About 10 years old Thomas, hope to retire it this year

[@callumcurrie1651]

Funky farmer how many tractors do you have

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

This guy has to be one of the first KZbin farmers.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

you're right. I've been doing it for ten years

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

@@thefunkyfarmer Bet there aren't many farmers that have been on KZbin that long. None I've seen anyway.

[@michaelrafferty373]

Hard on machinery

[@arthurbutt4603]

Going a bit fast on that first load going over that trac there was a bit of a hole muck spreader nearly tipes over great vid

[@OkOk-mw4hc]

Arthur butt how's it going

[@bradleykirk3206]

No we're near tipping over

[@willfletcher6418]

The clutch looks a bit rough on that McCormick!

[@martinschenstrom2472]

ye he are very fast w the clutch!!!:)

[@Jim-McKechnie]

I put a video on my channel with a CX105 clutches are all very jerky on them - very hard to find the biting point of the clutch on them - its either all or nothing, seems to be a bit of a design flaw

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Jim McKechnie I think your right jim. The cx95 we have is the same, maybe its something to do with it being a hydro clutch rather than a conventional sort.

thefunkyfarmer I am likely that you have to go on to a few minutes ago x👃😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😱😱😱😱😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

[@Masseyman-nv2kl]

thefunkyfarmer I know what u mean. I had to drive a case 895xl and you could never find the biting point. It was your waiting for it or breaking the seat setting off. But great vids

[@ollyg2k11]

Your a bit ruff on machinery

[@hamishcarr9400]

Oliver Gough it's just cos mckormic have a bad clutch on them

[@cowsrcool1103]

@@hamishcarr9400 o they dont he is a shit driver

[@jamesgreen7831]

luckily its only a mcormic but your right thats why you never buy a second hand loader tractor expecting the clutch to be good or the front axle and steering to be good because they just dont last when treated like this

[@Northern_Farmer]

wow thats a jerky clutch on that tractor... reminds me of my old case with a bad clutch spring

[@thefunkyfarmer]

yes its very sharp.i guess thats because its a hydro clutch, takes a bit of getting used to

[@tobimobiv1]

I realise this is an old video. But I love it anyway.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

It's not old I filmed it this week

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Sorry I was confused. This is an old video. Take a look at the video I uploaded today to see the latest video

[@alistairtipping9343]

do you still have two muck spreaders now?

[@kroneking127]

All tractor's are different really it all depends what it's doing, as you can see the ground around the muck is very uneven so u have to give it welly to get anywhere as such and no one knows his tractor better then him

[@michaelryan9882]

Your breaking my heart

[@epj900]

Not to labour the point, but I'm sure that clutch shouldn't be so harsh,it must be sending massive shock loads through the gearbox.I think it needs a dose of looking at!

[@thefunkyfarmer]

its been like that since we bought the tractor new so i always assumed that is how they are on the McCormick however after putting some vids on here and getting some comments i'm not so convinced. I think i might get someone to take a look at it

[@jacktomlinson4167]

thefunkyfarmer if its an extra shift box the clutches on them are known to be shite!

[@michaelryan9882]

Jack Tomlinson I couldn't agree with that now

[@Masseyman-nv2kl]

thefunkyfarmer with some masses especially the ones with dyna 6 in the early 2000's the clutches on them are that bad they just throw you about in the seat and nearly break you back! Cause we have a 6465 dyna 6 and I like it in the way it's a smooth tractor on the road but close quarters I would rather get another tractor!

[@darrenduffy9542]

Why don't you open the lid on the spreader? makes loading so much easier and that what it's designed to do

[@thefunkyfarmer]

+Darren Duffy yeh i know but the rams broke so it won't stay open

[@darrenduffy9542]

Haha! we use to use a piece of wood. Good videos

[@lesleyhenderson181]

Probably need to recalibrate the clutch just on the loader tractor

[@Faly657]

happy new year

[@scottscottirwin1535]

I was driving a tm yesterday and it seems to be a problem with the clutch

[@SuperDiscovery95]

make life easier for loading by opening the door of the dung spreader.

[@thefunkyfarmer]

I would James but the hinges are knackered

[@ceiranworthington558]

my uncle has a spreader like you but we dont use a tractor we fork it in takes us about an hour

[@thefunkyfarmer]

+Ceiran Worthngton done that myself many times

[@garymellett123]

id say your clutch needs to be calibrated dealer would do that for you

[@thefunkyfarmer]

i think your right Gary

[@garymellett123]

Ya ive seen the same thing on a claas arion no smooth take off in it whatsoever clutch wasnt calibrated

[@lsshetland722]

Your running her to rough on the clutch!!

[@kawasaki6107]

Do you have 2 muck spreaders or did you just change tractor

[@thefunkyfarmer]

2 spreaders

[@adrianmorris4560]

The clutch just needs to be calibrated, 10 min job

[@Thomas_-qj2kf]

How old is the spreader

[@g.j.hphotography7170]

You need to let clutch of a bit slower 🚜

[@thevloger8580]

nice I want to be a farmer

[@Aziz-cc7us]

TheVloger it’s hard work

[@MrFarmingmad]

[@riordan7740]

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Niall Ferry

[@martinschenstrom2472]

[@thefunkyfarmer]

+Martin Schenström 2

[@martinschenstrom2472]

Ok

[@davidbrown7066]

could you not put some morn spreading videos on please

[@thefunkyfarmer]

In a few weeks

[@iestynevans9275]

Why would u not have 4wd spreading its so dangarours

[@thefunkyfarmer]

why is it dangerous

[@richardtalbot4035]

Nothing dangerous with using 2wd while spreading at all Ok if you was on slopes then yeah 4wd would be a better option but on flat 2wd is fine

[@iestynevans9275]

1, you only have rear brakes2, if you drive on the muck your gone, 3, of you start sliding your in trouble

[@thefunkyfarmer]

4. I've never had any problems. 5. I grew up in an era before 4wd tractors were available and managed ok then

[@iestynevans9275]

thefunkyfarmer but you would agree thats its much safer? Thanks for replying love the videos keep up the good work

[@supersiem1431]

Man you get so much hate😒

[@conorwalsh7413]

why do you drive sooooooooooooooooooooooo slow and post new vidos
