JOHN DEERE 3350 WHEEL SWAP

[@farmerbill6855]

John Deere 4020 power shift. Best tractor ever produced. Worth more now than when they were made. Tons of them still making a living. Thanks for asking, best regards from Indiana, USA.

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

Lovely model , fingers crossed , I'd go for an mb trac in the museum , would be no fastrac without it , it was ahead of its time

[@AlexanderJuholaJones]

Lovely vid👍. Ferguson should go to museum because of the 3 point linkage.

[@perfoss2309]

Hello from Norway!:) I used to own a 1987 3050JD, it was 13,6-28 front and 18,4-38 in the back. It was a 40kmh tracktor but did almost 50kmh! Best tracktor ever!

[@lee-hallagri3075]

Have to be the fergy, still been used today for small potato 🥔 and veg plots etc, and you can still get most of the kit. Great video, love sg2 cab series, videos have been a great help 👍😀

[@Redgolf2]

Zetor Crystal, it’s cab was ground breaking compared to what was available ie ROPS, quiet, view and attachment. Set standards for safety and comfort for users and still loved today

[@patrickhosking613]

Hello mucky. The tractor for the museum just has to be the old grey fergie te20 and that is simply because of the Harry Ferguson three point linkage. That hydraulic system completely revolutionised the way the tractors handled the machinery that is attached to them . For example,the plough,once its connected to the tractor it becomes a part of the tractor and can be picked up and put down at any point, and once in the ground the depth can be controlled from the seat without the use of a cumbersome set of wheels on the plough. That system made such a vast improvement in the versatility and speed of operations for the farmer, and in my opinion it has to be the only one to go into the museum. Oh, excellent video as always, keep up the good work mucky,looking forward to the next one.👍👍👍

[@ewansimpson9662]

Great video, your 3350 is what got me hooked on this channel, MF 3000 Datatronic, first tractors with a computer

[@billupstateny9151]

The International Hydro 70 or Hydro 86 made the job of haying a pleasure & no longer a chore. Adjusting to differing conditions became a snap.

[@thepajbren]

An excellent wheel choice Mr. Muck! Old school all the way. I drove my cousin's 3350 back in the mid 90s and that's exactly how it was shod. Not quite sure how the wider tyres going to look but we'll see. Lovely tractor to drive, perfectly balanced.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video Kurt 👍 think it's gotta be the Fordson F was the tractor that could utilise many of the trailed horse equipment available at the time and also had its own version of mechanically raised equipment 🤔 and made a huge contribution to feeding the countries population during very hard times 👍👍

[@laurencegibbs2753]

3000 series Massey, first of the truly modern tractors with the wheel slip radar and the beginnings of automated functions like auto 4wd and diff lock. All in a comfortable cab with air con. Yes they had their failings but they were the last revolutionary Massey, and I bet these big museums are full of te20’s already.

[@28YorkshireRose12]

On changing those tyres, you should have been here about 13 years ago, just after my dad died. I was doing my best to complete a few of his requests, which involved getting the right wheel set up on our DB 1390 four wheel drive. Talk about swapping rims, dishes, and tyres! It does your nut in! I got there in the end, and ended up buying a spare set of rims and tyres from the auction centre. That old 1390 stands up well and looks more like it with everything set up as it's meant to be. - You have to do what your own mind tells you, and what your heart is set on. As for the tractor in the museum? - Well, I once saw a 1907 (I think it was) Oliver Hart-Parr, one of the very first internal combustion engined tractors around, but interestingly, that tractor was subservient to the horse, and as such it was designed to mimic the way a horse (or team of horses) would draw an implement, so that it could be used to work with horse drawn implements. Imagine a tractor, trying to imitate a horse? Forty years later, and we have two in our yard, there was the 'British Anzani Iron Horse' trying to do much the same thing, but with its own dedicated implements, but, when you stand behind an Iron Horse, it does look vaguely like the arse end of a horse! But with wheels.......

[@kevinwillis9126]

Its has to be the Fordson Major for me. Great tractor and its stood the test of time.... Great vid Kurt and take care sir...

[@LordMuck]

Cheers Kev 👍

[@chrisjohns7137]

Mucker, you da man. Jolly good. Would choose the Tractor Beam off Star Trek, but would probably put grass tyres on it.

[@LordMuck]

Yes, I think grass tyres would work well at warp speed.

[@ClarenceFudWeasel]

I would go with a John Deere 2850. Probably the best tractor ever made. And I'm a Massey guy. The 2850 was simple, reliable, nice to drive, easy to work on, capable of ridiculously high hours and it played well above its weight. What's not to love?

[@johncollins464]

Well done on a tyre size topic, a great example of your John Deere ! There is also 28 inch fronts on a Mf 399 for example. For your question - a David brown 1212, the hydra shift gearbox maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but it did help to start the power shift movement. 👍

[@LordMuck]

Yes Massey always seemed to fit tall narrow tyres

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

Have a good weekend mate , fingers crossed you and George get to a few shows soon , I love use pairs thoughts on new machinery 😎😎👍👍

[@MontyPython12]

Massey 3000 series, pretty much the foundation of modern tractors.

[@davidfisher9978]

Ford 5000 Roadless (jerkamatic)! With a Fritzmier cab, spent 100's of hours Direct Drilling in Kent & Sussex in the 70's - Happy days. Great channel 👏

[@whitestream5233]

David Brown 996 . It was just a well engineered well thought out tractor. Pulled like train , always had the right gear for the job , good strong hydraulics, and they sounded nice when you were working them hard.

[@trams66]

Ok I admit I don’t know a great deal about tractors as I have been involved with commercial and private light goods vehicles but one tractor that caught my attention on torquing point was the Ford FW-60 , sounds great!! Loads of power and plenty of room in the cab for your cold snacks 👍 WHAT A TREAT 👌👌

[@stephenjenkins8012]

The ford 4610 or the Massey 135 I learnt to drive a tractor on both of these and my dad who I lost last February work on a farm 42 years and the ford 4610 and the 135 were the main tractors so thank you dad miss you mate loads and thanks lord muck for another great video

[@helenburton3338]

Overtime/ Waterloo boy... just because they’re one of my favourites and OLD 👍🏻

[@vincenttaylor6478]

Great vid again keep up the good work.👍 Not sure which tractor I would put in a museum. They all have had amazing impact on farming.

[@svernon7472]

For me a carraro 8.1000.4, probably not iconic, but lots of memories of it as a kid, and you never see them now. Keep the videos coming mucker 👍

[@fenlandrob6203]

Brilliant video Mucker! I do love the 3350s and the other sizes of the 50-55. I also like the way you changed the front wheels around to, keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing your next video. Fenland Rob

[@gareth2673]

I nominate the Ford 7000 to be in the museum. It set the bar for the 100hp class tractor, turbo charged and features such as the load monitor. Iconic tractor

[@mickjennings2968]

I would say the little grey fergie as it was the start of the three point linkage and look how that has changed farming

[@nuggetwv5302]

Farmall M, they were tough, had a belt drive for stationary equipment, and comfortable for that time frame.

[@jimclements3190]

Mid 70s Deutz Intrac,one of the most advanced tractor designs that never really caught on. The farm I worked on at the time had one on demo and it was brilliant, made things like 168s 4000s of the time seem like antiques 🤔

[@christopherdavies752]

Still have one around the farm K plate and probably the best and only John Deere I will operate! Nice one Mucker.

[@rebelyank6361]

I would have to say being from the states probably the most iconic tractor I think of would be the Ford 8N. Did a lot of plowing and snow removal with ours in my youth. It had the Wagner downpressure loader & dad added Canadian half tracks. My brother still has it and has added a Sherman splitter thansmission.

[@cheydahlitz4165]

I’m loving this channel and how you are so down to earth and say what you think. 💪💪 have a good one, cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@nathanvirag4589]

From across the pond here in the USA, I would have to say a 4010 or 4020 John Deere. I believe they are one of the first tractors with closed center hydraulic. Deere was far ahead of everyone else with these tractors. And there are still lots of these tractors in use 50 years later and most having ten thousand plus hours. A true testimate to great engineering. And this is all coming from a guy who bleeds red equipment.

[@bobcrawford2105]

Old Grey Fergie the for runner of all today’s modern tractors

[@pbgd3]

I dont think any other brand can compete with the importance of the three point linkage. Maybe secondary to it the PTO but really probably live PTO and live hydraulics and maybe today CVT variants as even a % or few% efficiency adds up so fast. Even to today too many do not even fully grasp all the ramifications of the Ferguson hitch patent

[@jimgardner9044]

Well all that tyre stuff is as clear as muck a good job I understand it. Takes me back to doing P.D.I ,s on new New Hollands. first thing in the morning with clean overalls on fit the radio that way keeps the cab clean, then set wheel widths and drop pressures. takes most of the day to complete the whole tractor. Stick a grey Fergy in the museum. cheers Jim in NZ.

[@deanmacdonald1524]

Brilliant video mucky Tractor I pick is a trantor as it was an early attempt to combine road speed and field capability quite forward thinking at the time

[@dannymiester5825]

Any Track marshall, coz when it was really wet all other tractors were pretty much useless. Plus I just love em. :)

[@alanirwin5230]

Massey ferguson 35x, reliable easy started, and would have had a great contribution to farming

[@Hiluxtrd07]

From the 1957 Round Australia Rally.The 1955 Chamberlain Champion. Tail end Charlie 👍

[@laytonphillips6667]

Grey fergie as they were such a great addition to British farming, great video, about time you and the fud weasel got an old combine and restored it.

[@LordMuck]

The Fudweasel has already been warned if he brings a combine to the yard, I'll cut the bastard up.

[@carlgrimwood8318]

Fiat 110-90 ... it was one of the first tractors I drove full time , maybe not the most innovative in its time , but it packed a punch and I just love the pininfarina design 👌

[@matthewbrittain2919]

The legendary MYMUMSA bike, is iconic in my home town, hundreds of satisfied riders!! Would make a great working exhibit in Lord Mucks museum 👍

[@paulc8581]

Always love when your working on old John deere

[@patkelly7999]

Good stuff Kurt and Pippo, it has to be the Massey 20, for the Ferguson 3 point linkage, it was ( correct me if I am wrong ) the first I think 👍👍

[@GarethPierce69]

Got to be the grey fergie. I’d like it to be something else, but it’s the forerunner of all modern tractors which still use the 3 point linkage. Love a County too though...1174.... Equal wheels, did much if what a tracked dozer could do but tried lightly. Loved to see a Forestry Commission 654 working the forests with a set of balloon tyres and a winch in the back too. Then there’s the JCB 3C.... I could go on and on!

[@fillwisher6236]

Spoilt for choice, change wait to see the 3350 on its new old rubber. Great video!👌👍

[@adigibson3605]

Think I would put a Ford 7810 in museum, plenty of power and not too much electrical stuff to go wrong like modern tractors

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

That little thing would look sweet on front and rear duals. Then it would really float. Lol. I think the 50 and 55 series were probably the best looking tractors Deere ever built. Love the nose they had on them.

[@LordMuck]

I'm not sure you can dual the fronts up (unless turning wide) due to Deere's front axle castor angle.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Dang. I forgot that series lays the front wheels over in a hard turn. Don’t know if the baby finals and king pins would appreciate it much either.

[@garfsgarage2921]

Right on, good video. I would to see the ferguson black tractor take pride of place as I would say that it was the genesis of tractors going from being just an engine with wheels to a world changing machine.

[@onemanandhisvlog74]

Great video! The Tractor I’d put in the museum would be a standard fordson, to me it’s the tractor that won the war for the land army!

[@mikahakkinen5651]

hi.a must say fordson dexta deserve a place in museum.small workhorses and was pretty comment tractors in finland late 50 and 60s.

[@jimconnolly3572]

Any of these 3 or all 3 Ferguson 20, david brown 995 (was ahead of the competition with their cabs and the reliability of them is unbelievable) and a john Deere 7810 ( an unbelievably reliable pure powerhouse) most of them will go forever with little bother if maintenance is kept on top of and are capable of doing insane hours

[@jimmybroom]

Great video Lord Muck. Keep it up. It would have to be a Ford TW35 with a super q cab as they look fantastic and remind me of my child hood.

[@jimspeed1388]

Not strictly a tractor but a JCB 3C is an iconic vehicle for me.

[@pullett1]

Same here Jimspeed 13 i got a 1971 jcb 3 c still going strong.

[@davewills4796]

Thanks 👍 for you video's I love John Deere tractors sorry I haven't been watching your channel because I been seriously mentally ill I am better thinking of driving a John Deere tractor pushed me on mate please keep the videos coming they keep me going keep safe

[@adriankennelly1338]

That's a really clean 3350. As regards tractors in museums it's a tough one. Grey fergie and the following 35 and 135s are obvious choices. County was a game changer. Having a 654 myself I'd chose a county. Enjoyed the video again even if it was a bit convoluted😂

[@richardparton1655]

My choice of tractor is Ford 4000 ,because it was the first one I ever drove back in 1972 . Interesting vid though stay safe.👍👍🚜🚜

[@simongodfrey1048]

I just been and done the same thing with my 1255xl tyres it looks a complete animal now and the nose is sat up a little taller great video mucker 👍👍

[@XiamaraTheLuckyMu]

The 1920's Deutz hot bulb engine tractor should be in a museum, it shows how far we came.

[@Scrapmantim]

County 1884. They are iconic, very rare and deserved to be preserved. But I would rather see it out working than in a museum. Great vid as usual. Thanks 👍

[@stevenashby8268]

Ford County, stunning loved watching them driving pass my house with the big rotating plough as a nipper with Farmer Batchelor waving, luckly worked for him later and drove one I'll never forget it.

[@michaelford4703]

First John Deere tractor for me 😎👌👍Michael U.K.

[@thegregdavieschannel]

I got to see the sectioned nuffield that was in the science museum in the early 90's, that was really cool. As much as I like nuffields, the world as we know it wouldn't be much different had they never existed. The gray fergie probably represented the biggest change in farming because of its commercial success, but most forget that it was only an updated version of the ford-ferguson which itself was developed from the even earlier brown-ferguson which was a development of the black-ferguson prototype. However that's already in the science museum, so id probably look at the early 4wd and 6 cylinder convertioms as an example of farm led innovation. There's a lot of farm led innovation stories which get overlooked in favor of commercially successful manufacture's stories.

[@thecountywilliams5098]

Nice video. For a museum, must be the first Ferguson-Brown with a 3pt hitch (prototype/production?) . Amazing development still in use. Great job on spillin' out all the tire numbers. Expect you did that first take, eh? Cheers

[@LordMuck]

Well it was hardly difficult, very rarely do I have to retake footage, I just press record and go.

[@lucasbrooks5177]

For me a John Deere 7530 as it was last of the non computer filled tractors even though it had a simple Computer In it. it’s also the one of the first tractors from deere designed for contractors and they hit the nail on the head with it

[@charleshart6992]

Another excellent video - It has to be the original Ferguson (I think it was painted black) with the three point linkage.

[@mikeduin8311]

That's a lot of tire sizes😅 getting some GRI's for the JD too? Tractor wise Fendt Favorit 926 first one with Vario transmission. Or Grey fergie because of the three point link. All the best!

[@2ToneWalt]

All those numbers, I've got headache now. 😂👍

[@bonniedobkin6948]

You’re Absolutely Phenomenal ! 🎥👍🏻❤️

[@huwby13]

MF135 with a Duncan cab for me, one of the most common tractor world wide and looks beautiful with a Duncan cab. Looks beautiful without the cab but even more beautiful with it!

[@craigmilne2792]

One of the first, original Caterpillar tractors. Caterpillar tracks with low ground pressure were revolutionary for ag and construction.

[@ballyhoulihanagrivideos397]

David Brown 996. In their heyday there were dozens of them around us here. Plenty of power, easy to operate and had the ability to travel over soft ground better the any Massey 165.

[@farmer7229]

our local tire fitter won,t remove any jd 3000 series rear wheels because the bolt hole threads in the rear axles are all knackered just replaces tyres with rim still on tractor

[@LordMuck]

There's no need to remove them to change tyres.

[@AliMackMechanical]

That was wheelie good lol.😂😁 The Te20 because with Mr Ferguson don't think we would have 3 point linkage.

[@waynesallotment7757]

As ever a good video as for tractor it has to be a fordson major only because I watched one slowly dig it self into the ground. All the best Wayne

[@Dan.Whiteford]

The Fordson N (shear pulling power and belt pulley) or the grey Ferguson (nimble to operate, many engine types inc TVO and 3 point linkage) as they both helped to grow the food in one form or another following World War 11.

[@nickhill3362]

I think a trantor Kurt would a interesting museum piece

[@v666edd]

For me even though I’m John Deere it would be the International 2+2 snoopy. I think it was 30 years ahead of its time, big power , engine over the front axle. If that was on today’s farms on tracks it would look in keeping in the modern farm. Iconic in my view 👍👍👍

[@stu.smith79]

For me it would have to be the old single cylinder field marshal the sound when running and the starting process was bloody brilliant 👍🏽

[@johnburns3390]

Gony be honest, don't know enough about any one model. Been out the game for a long time now. 3350 is mint 👌

[@davida.p.9911]

The tractor with the original "Ferguson System"....the TE20 and TO20. When it came to either towing the implement or being able to transport it off the ground to reduce wear, Save fuel, etc....no doubt (to me anyway) that revolutionized the industry.

[@What..a..shambles]

Gotta be the grey fergie for me as you said👍🏻

[@harrybassett1441]

Got to be the comfort of a 3000 series massey they where the first tractors in my opinion that took drivers into consideration and changed everything for tractors

[@kelvinherrala4631]

Choosing a tractor to go in the hall of fame is about as difficult as choosing between the different women I have met along the way . I have 10 old tractors in my collection and I use them all on the farm in some form or another . Every time I take one out it is the best one for the task at hand , it just feels right , similar to a previous reference in this comment . Some get the job done quicker than others and some just rumble along and give you a rough ride that you won't soon forget . I guess I will have to go with my first a Massey 50 . Did a lot of work with the old girl .

[@stitchmeupdoctor]

By far; the best tractor I’ve ever had the pleasure to drive ✔️

[@brecklandengineeringservic4776]

Got to be the grey Fergie for me mucker, first tractor I ever drove and the first one I ever fully restored

[@agrifarmingireland1604]

Are you not worried about damaging the 4wd going up from 12.4 to 13.6 infront ?

[@LordMuck]

There is enough + or - in the mechanical lead to allow for this (as per JD's specs). Remember, it is not a modern tractor that engages 4WD/braking on the road and going UP a size isn't a problem where as going DOWN more than the recommended size would be as it will be pushed rather than trying to pull.

[@ChrisD1454]

Minn. Moline UDLX. Duel Purpose tractor. Cab had heat and Some With Radio. You Could Farm With it or take it to town Because it had a road gear and You would look Cool Doing it. Iconic Styling.

[@gmartin8240]

My choice of tractor would be the Ford TW 25 , also Ford's introduction of the Q cab as a industry innovation. Well done Mucka on the tyre combos 🚜

[@bigdarbs19]

Why are solid rims used for spraying?

[@LordMuck]

One reason is that crop damage is minimised as there are no spaces/open rims to get caught in.

[@michaelkelly884]

Ford 7810 great video looking forward to next one

[@agw89]

John Deere 6400/6410 well balanced tractor. I would say they set the future for next gen cabs/ comfort and control.

[@2341jasonb]

Field Marshall iv never seen such a wide range of variants in one tractor iv seen a crawler and a narrow gauge train version and it's still the best sounding (non turbo) tractor ❤️

[@danielsnell3288]

I would deffinately put in the the little grey ferguson. I would choose it as the ferguson was known as the world's first modern tractor. It was the first tractor that successfully introduced the 3 point linkage which revolutionised the agriculture business

[@ashleybarratt5292]

Would have to be the Ford 40 series for me another great video as always stay safe mucker

[@neilcrossley4718]

I think the MF 1200 would be a good candidate as it was an iconic tractor of its day, well ahead of the game

[@kyleshores432]

Massey 97 or 98 fwa, really beautiful styling, and a good show of raw American horsepower....

[@seanworkman431]

I think the older Massey Ferguson, dad had one when I was a kid, 2 of my brothers have them. They made it to all corners of the earth and were so reliable.
