Massey Ferguson 1805 hits the field!

[@ronzezulka6646]

Said it before, say it again. 1805 is a gunslinger. Absolute stud!! Nice Joe.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! She’s always been a fav of mine

[@malcolmgreenhill4955]

Good to see this video, brings back memories of my time working for a farm contractor in the late 70s early 80s here in the UK. operating a MF1200 and a 1250. Mostly ploughing and pto work towing a forager.

[@bmobmo4963]

Great video!, love the classic tractors that are still doing a great job, thank you !😊

[@edwardking2217]

Turd Ferguson looks and sounds great JT

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@prevost8686]

Thank goodness it’s spring. It’s wonderful to be able to get outside on an old tractor and smell some fresh dirt.👍

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Amen to that!

[@timmywade1313]

That is a really nice farm

[@gleanerk]

I’m a little late big T done a fine job ! Enjoyed watching the video!

[@ronzimmerman8968]

The Massey sounds good!!

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

That brings back some good memories. Didn’t seem noisy in the early 90’s. Definitely loud buy today’s standard. Thanks for the videos. Have a safe planting season.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

It’s really not terribly loud in there. The 7520 that I used to have(makes an appearance after the very end of the video) was terribly loud and rattling in comparison lol.

[@hughperkins707]

You want to hear noise drive a “145” Versatile..🙀

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

@@hughperkins707 I been around one of them when I worked at a dealership. 555 Cummins, cab was basic. Compared to todays standards, everything old was way too noisy.

[@HaroldJackson-s8p]

I love this guy. He can work on anything.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!!

[@DavidBrown-fd8ed]

Love your videos. Great how there is a bit of everything. Watching from Australia. 🇦🇺👍

[@tjroberts3411]

One of the best looking tractors

[@CircleTFarms419]

Great video , thanks for posting 👍🏻

[@johnfugate3432]

Man that tractor sounds good looks like you made a good investment good video thanks

[@richardschaffling9882]

Looks good but where I live some people call that a chisel plow, and others called a cultivator so I wonder what the proper name is I have a small one with six shanks on it .and got it out yesterday and ran around the big garden just to smell the fresh dirt smell and today it’s rain and Thursday it’s supposed to snow.

[@briannelson4493]

The 1805 looks and sounds great it should give you many years of work

[@timmywarren2349]

Very good Video 👍 👍

[@aparecidonogueira6536]

Muiito bom trator robusto

[@stevec5338]

Way to go Turd!! 👍

[@buddymartin7923]

I always wanted to mount a drop seeder off the back bar of a field cultivator and then pull a single roller behind.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Get it all done in one pass!

[@hughperkins707]

We had a 1500 and a 1505, great tractors.

[@fmerkl]

Hell I own one of them ! sold it and bought a MF 4840

[@waggtech4883]

Awww…. The old dogleg turn. The dogleg turn has been the topic of many discussions at the farm. It always ends the same with side notes of turn braking the 2wd tractor and the always dreaded late execution of a late turn and fence clipping.

[@ironhead782]

I don't think you should call it "Turd" anymore. It looks like you have it running in tip top shape! But, I have to admit, the name gives me a chuckle. Thanks for your videos. I enjoy them all, but mostly the ones dealing with the Masseys!

[@petergardner2334]

good tractor

[@ronzezulka6646]

Drop fuel and giv er!!

[@rickfournier3413]

I wouldn't trash on Turd Ferguson , that's a damn fine 4x4 JT . It would be awesome to see you really do er' up . Full cab inside and out . That tractor has really grown on me buddy !

[@1300gprr]

JT Love your channel and content! We farm in western NY and run an 1805 as well...not nearly as nice as yours though! Great job keeping that old iron going...gotta love them! Id like to pick your brain on all the upgrades/repairs youve tackled...especially your "driveshaft" between motor and transmission. Please lmk if i could email you or vise versa...thanks!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Sure thing! I’d be happy to share. [e-mail]

[@brentillig5205]

Nice video

[@cesargallo7424]

1805 runs good! the front cracked tire probably can get another 20 years of duty 😁

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

It’s not going anywhere till she blows 😆

[@davehughesfarm7983]

Great uncle had 3 1800's and I had a 1805.... Not gonna get into the issues...Well OK It was the junk throw away 3608 and the damn belts and dog that run the pumps...Other than that the tractor was simple and well built...

[@davehughesfarm7983]

3208....my bad

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Well, the 3208 isn’t for everyone. I eliminated the dog bone, made a better shaft and it has been problem free

[@ronzezulka6646]

Take her to Rantoul, IL in 2025

[@timerfarms113]

Shes looking good and sounding great. Got an old 1800 coming up at a sale. Needs so so so much love but think it could be a fun project. Because who doesn't need more projects. Hope you can get some seed in ground aoon. Im in south east Michigan probably gonna get some bwans in today if mt MFers allow.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Nothing wrong with a project 😉. Hoping that I can get beans done next week.

[@AutoCrete]

Just more proof that you don't need millions tied up in equipment to get the job done! When that cracked up front tire gives out I hope the camera catches that 'magic moment' and I hear a really loud "Thar she blows!"

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I’ll do my best! I have a good used tire to replace it, but after changing all 4 inners I was done with tires for the year lol

[@AutoCrete]

@@jtsbarnngrill6873 That's the spirit! Run it until it NEEDS replacement! With the inside tire there you won't wreck anything getting it home unless there is a 2 or 3 ft long chunk of tread or sidewall flapping in the breeze.

[@pleasantviewfarms2084]

Just found your channel. Love the content ! But watching older videos did you switch from John Deere to massy equipment

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I’ve always liked my Masseys. I had the 7520 years back because it was headed to the crusher, so I saved it. Used it for a while, cool tractor but I moved it on. I still have my Deere combines. They are here to stay. I wouldn’t turn down another John Deere tractor but the $ they are bringing lately is keeping me away lol

[@pleasantviewfarms2084]

@@jtsbarnngrill6873 yup grew up on dads 4020. Brother and dad traded it in on a new Massey I later started my own farm and wish I had a 4020 but they are crazy expensive

[@Auxbeam]

Hi Wondering do you open to add some light to your vehicles? We're looking to do some lighting sponsorship with your truck:)

[@BriggsStratton11]

What depth do you use this wilrich at? I bought a similar one with 8" sweeps, I havent tried it out yet.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I was in the 3 inch range for most of the way.

I see my old Glencoe chisel plow in the video. 😮

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Yessir! Just waiting for wheat season 😉

[@TimMartin-bh9js]

Hey JT how many acres do you farm

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Not enough to support the equipment I own 😆😆

[@northdakotaham1752]

Can you still hear JT?? That Cat (not Fluffy!) really screams at 2800 Rs . I put a new muffler on my 1805 thinking it would help. Nope! Wrongo!! So I never run it faster than 2500 which helps some and I always wear muffs. Don't have that fancy, high tech audio system you have there..😂.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I’m just glad I can still hear the radio at field speeds 😆

[@jeepanimal2943]

Joke for ya JT! Why are old Massey Fergusons SO jealous of new John Deeres? New John Deeres get to spend SO much time in a warm cozy "shop." True story, promise ya........

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

😆

[@ronzezulka6646]

Hydraulics aren't slow,,,they're dramatic.

[@narisse89]

Why is it in the USA you always seem to have double wheels on no matter what job or what tractor you have here in the UK farmers don't bother with the extra wheels unless it's necessary

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Mostly for flotation and reduced compaction. The wide footprint helps keep the ride a little more smooth. A little extra traction in the wet spots never hurts either. Depending on the soil type this region to yours, might not be as necessary there?

[@jamesmarsh4957]

she pulled that by the looks of it as if the cultivator was not there , what a site not that noisy for the age

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

It pulled that along really nice! For 70s technology the cab is fairly pleasant 😉

[@tonybunch543]

👌

[@ronzezulka6646]

Watched a lot of vid from Rantoul so far. Not one huge Massey.

[@billdees6961]

Music way too loud. Please turn it down so we can hear you and the tractor. Better yet, eliminate it.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Nobody’s perfect. I try to keep the music tasteful and the video entertaining. Not loud enough to blast you out of your seat and not going through the entire video. Thanks for your input.

[@donttreadonme4355]

Music is kinda necessary when the video is sped up
