Wow when you climbed into that cab I was 15 again in 1987. My uncle had a garage in barrow hill next to the railway shed and managed to buy some land from the railway which was all overgrown with trees. Now the one he had was an IH 3in1 the cab is very similar especially the holes your legs went down but i was a bit scared of the thing at first and I'll never forget him saying get out of the way I'll show you as he went FULL BORE into the trees. The little thing pushed them down like saplings. He said to me "There you go are you alright with that than" and i spent the 6 weeks holiday clearing that land. Happy Days and many thanks.

Just subscribed having stumbled upon this channel. The educational value alone, from machinery revitalisation to medical terminology, is quit simply second to none. @ 10:30 and on for instance, medical terminology such as 'Tard Launcher' :-) You just won't find this depth of knowledge, or the complimentary manor in which it's put across, anywhere else!

Brilliant! I had an MF 40 with that backhoe on and a Drott 4in1 on the front and a Bristol Taurus Dozer with a Drott 4in1 . both had the Perky 152 3 cyl ..amazing bullet proof engine that runs all day on a sniff of derv. And you are right ..you get really good on the levers and its nothing like the new controls at all Thanks for bringing back many happy memories of me axle deep in mud :D

[@lorrainedimmock4096]

The company building the estate were I lived on in 1967 had a red Drott shovel, they also bought a new MF 40 later on, fitted with front loader and backhoe, she was in yellow livery, the Drott was sold on, I believe...

[@xxMasterofSparksxx]

Great video mate, nice to see you felt the machine has character. I understand as also have owned one for a while now, few minor fixes all working.

[@nickb2509]

Brings back memories of loading manure and feeding sheep with an ancient open station wheeled massey like this. Sound and controls were all pretty much the same.

[@WhiteyTheIronMonger]

Just found the channel And subscribed right after you responded to the crayon eater who went batty. That old Massey is perfect for digging next to foundations and tight quarters, pretty cool how the whole boom can move from one side to the other. Great content. That's a healthy dog!!

[@yorkshirepud3030]

I'll tell you what, the old girl would still dig a trench, back fill it, then track it in faster than you could do it with a shovel. Bloody good video.

[@edkeniston4786]

In the early days Drott manufactured everything. They would buy bare crawler tractors and manufacture the loader frame and arms, then the bucket and the rest of the package. I grew up on 4 stick controls with foot swing, it’s easy, just spend 10 hours in the seat. Love the channel, keep up the great work. I would like a 1964 Autocar with a 318 Detroit and a 13spd with 4:88 rearends.

[@1powercom]

I drove a 200b for while building the metro center in Gateshead they where on the way out of general use by then but had an advantage of being relatively low to work under the steelwork doing drainage and preparing floors for concrete the big advantage of them was that they where around before 4x4 tractor diggers invented and where very popular on large housing sites where they could travel off road where a 2 wheel drive MF50B , or JCB 3c and the like could not because of the mud in the winter month in particular , the 4x4 tractor digger by them with with a telescopic boom and often pallet fork plus a nice cab pretty much killed them off quite quickly but through the 1970s and into the early to mid 80s they where a very common site

[@LordMuck]

That's a great summary of the 200B and Drotts in general 👍

[@esurcylimaf4335]

I worked on a mining site years ago and my boss used a drott and as you said it was like his third arm.He save the truck I was driving from tipping several times and a few others also. He sure was a good operator, I love seeing these old machines again.Cheers.

[@bluegrallis]

Now I want a "drott" for my OC46, that Watch Wes Work has been fixing up for me 😎😎😎 Maybe next Christmas, there will be a brand new 1953 Studebaker Starlite Coupe setting in my driveway.

I learnt to drive a digger in a 1964 Kato excavator and that is how I know why JOY STICKS are called joy sticks, them old things were like dancing with an octopus that didn't like the music.

[@stevegifford9989]

Update. Apparently according to a light hearted email I have just received from a mate in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, he joked by Christmas morning he expects we all will be in Tier 6, which means you can't even open the curtains to see what's on the drive!!! Then on the 31st we will celebrate the coming of the New Tier. Only place you are safe now is on your own in the middle of a field in an old Drott with a copy of Classic Tractor magazine, a packet of hand wipes and some Cillit Bang spray to ward off Ramblers

I love the yellow massey Ferguson equipment! They’re so overbuilt and tough as nails. Wish we still had the 30B backhoe at work. But we didn’t have the time or funds to repair it.
