Massey 565 with a mc hale bale wrapper (full throttle)

Wrapping bales with the mc hale bale wrapper

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

My 1st introduction to tractors, mid 70s, a great uncle use to take me out on his MF135 and MF165, he also had MF500 series combine, however I can't remember if his baler (idiot bales) was MF or New Holland, but it did have a "bedstead" to collect 6 bales at a time, grouping them rather than leaving them scattered all over the field Hand stacked, them loaded by front loader onto trailer Your modern machines, not only labour saving, but makes my childhood farm feel like a lego set lol Thanks again Tom Geoff

[@paulthompson8467]

Fine video Tom your granddad's 565 is a fine machine 👍

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks 👍

[@notyouorme]

Yeah seeing that model was a bit of a blast from the past as my grandfather had one. I can still remember riding with him .

[@charliebass9238]

Love seeing how all this stuff is done. Also the mix of all the old and modern gear, really interesting. Would love to hear the history of the farm when you get time. Channel is really coming along Tom, thanks for the upload 👍

[@Tomlamb980]

Will do!

[@jakobrebeki]

Tom, as you asked in SE London it is cold and we have had sprinkles of rain. The cloud cover is low and thick, been a bit of a gloomy day all round. Weather in the next 2 hours is forecast to be 16c and rainy. Miss field work, felt like back then I was in a winning team. At work people seem to be gloomy and in need of outdoors not brick and tin walls. I do like the MF. I learnt to drive on a Diesel powered Grey Fergie back in the late 70s. Good days....

[@Tomlamb980]

That’s a while ago

Amazing that she still works so well i noticed it had 7000+ hours on the clock ive heard those sort of old motors are good for 10000+ hours good to see evidence of that

[@gunton21]

Great video Tom, love the old massey. 👌

[@TheFatmer]

Love it Tom! The farm I worked at as a yoof had two, one got an ex fire engine 6 cylinder and a 590 badge lol

[@LeoAzzakaGoile]

Legend. Appreciate the video on the 565. So the manual bailer is good for small fields, and the older Trator is still capable ❤

[@chriskeller4563]

Boys and their toys 😊😊 great video Tom 😊

[@peterclarke3300]

Great demo on how to wrap bail Tom even with a oops 👍👍

[@edwardhammock24]

My mum in law and her late husband met in the Massey factory in Coventry in the late 1970s. They might have been there when your tractor was being made!

Hey Mr Lamb! Great video as usual. What a proud, stout tractor. Nevermind the weather! It's no better on the prairies here in Canada. Had 10cm of snow not 10 days ago! Cheers.

[@Tomlamb980]

Oh that’s not good

[@miketaylor8777]

6:33 Lots of thrutch!! Loving the 565. Wonder if in 46 years time your grandchildren will be waxing lyrically about the 8 series that Grandad Tom bought many years ago, or whether the computers/GPS/black boxes expiring will have sent it to its grave?

[@cleanmachine08]

Best love story since Twilight!

[@Claes_Isacson]

This Massey is so cool. My granddad had one just like it too! 🎉

[@Tomlamb980]

So cool!

I like the big green machines but this is a real beauty.

[@franksmodels29]

Wow more Tom very cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dfross87]

A quick google of weather suggests that your weather is remarkably similar to what I'm getting ATM. 15-17 degrees C, although you're getting more rain than we are. Which is not surprising because you're in England, and it always rains in England 🤣! Greetings from the cold depths of winter in regional Australia!

[@Tomlamb980]

It keeps raining

[@dfross87]

@@Tomlamb980 Today's forecast is 17C, mostly sunny here. No rain 🙃. Possible showers predicted Tuesday-Wednesday next week.

Spent my early teens operating a 185 with a Tanco wrapper. OR... A 575 loader tractor stacking the bales. 👍

Good video again. Cheers

Do you have more hours in the day than the rest of us to be doing all this farm work and uploading so quickly and frequently!

[@trevormontgomery2869]

Very cold in Northern Ireland tom

[@robertallen3441]

See the tractors done 7300 hours, has it ever had new a hydraulic pump? Its doing well if its still original. Nice simple air conditioning, we did convert a few 590's to have proper air con. One of the complaints when the 500 series tractors were released is that they were too cold in the winter, drivers had been used to the gearbox keeping them warm on 165 tractors. Never understood why some had numberplates fitted to each side, only ever put one on the back when I was PDI ing them.

[@Tomlamb980]

It’s still original

It's been 30c here in upstate NY, supposed to thunder later on.

I swear I have a Britain's Farm of toy of that very Model from when I was a little lad. Does it also have a Hand throttle as well as the foot throttle, or is that the indicator stork by the steering wheel?

[@Tomlamb980]

That’s a hand throttle

[@markhodgson2348]

Lol you should charge people to do this it looks so much fun 🤣
