Fond memories of one on these (non turbo) and a 575 as a child. My dad running us to the farm and back on a timber clad tipper trailer.

[@fenlandrob6203]

WoW what a lovely old 590T an old friend of mine has still got his one that he uses only on opening up potato rows with a small trailer. Great sound track coming from that turbo too. Fenland Rob

[@jamieaustin6403]

Sounds nice... can't beat the turbo whistle. As the kids might say.... "SEND IT"

[@ashleychambers7602]

Takes me back to the 80’s. Our 590 had a red cab and smaller front wheels but I remember it been a very reliable work horse

[@williamthomas4027]

Great to see a turbo Massey , we put the same kit on a 248 in a 178 and a 165 with a 212 , worked really well. Keep the video’s coming 👍

[@whitesapphire5865]

I remember driving both a 590, and a 575. One of them was "Multi-Power" but I couldn't say which, but it used to piss off the lorry drivers on the A64. There were traffic lights on the 64 back then, and when you came to a stop, the lorries would move out to the right hand lane - You know what's coming don't you? - A quick waltz through the gears, floor it in 'top' hit the Multi-Power, and leave them standing. Of course, the effect was only temporary, but for the first quarter of a mile, you were way out in front! Ah, happy days. . . . . . I don't think our 590 was blown though, but we did have several tractors that were. Didn't David Brown manufacture a turboed 1412 Hydro-Shift in the late '70s? We still have a 1490 with a Garrett turbo - That sounds nice on song!

[@andyhutch8262]

I used to knock 188 Massey in to low multy half way down Whitwell hill on the A64, free wheel to Barton Hill at dangerous speeds.

[@whitesapphire5865]

@@andyhutch8262 Whaaaaat?! - That's just plain nuts. I know Whitwell, I had a runaway Ford Thames van on the westbound downhill side of Whitwell. That was bad enough, but in a tractor? You'd have to tell the constable there was a screw loose! You'll know the traffic lights that used cause the multiple pile-ups at Copmanthorpe, and Bishopthorpe lane ends? I worked at Askham Bryan during the 1980s - Nice selection of tractors to drive back then, and that Multi-Power Fergy was by far the best for roading between ABCAH and Murton.

[@essexpeter6116]

Gawd knows how I came to this, but it stirred up student memories of 40 years ago. The South Essex farm I joined in '79 had a nearly new 590 2wd fitted with an Opico turbo. It seemed light years ahead (it was only a cab) from the 188 that I mostly drove that year. It pulled like a train and probably better than the farm's 595. The 595 and 188 had front wheel weights and PAVT and rode more comfortably than the light 590. The 590 was also woefully slow on the road and wandered like a drunk after closing time. The tractor was supplied by Eastern Tractors and the turbo fitted pre delivery. The following year a second 590 was added to the fleet. It was then decided with MF, dealer and Opico to run the tractor for 100 or so hours before fitting the turbo. The reasoning was to allow the engine to "bed in". The first one consumed oil at an alarming rate and continued to do so even after several 100hrs. The second one was definitely better but could have been any number of reasons? The 590 had a bad rep on some farms but they gave my bosses little trouble and were a better place to spend the day than a pre Q cab. I never had a problem with one door and the later one had a better side window. They were a bit short on gears by modern standards and the MP a bit quirky (I bet I was not the only one to try free wheeling down hill).

[@jankotze1959]

Love it, it sounds awesome, we have a 590 non turbo at work, bought it new and runs great still

[@johncook3817]

I am a Massey ferguson nut!! That 590 really sounds the business!!! I have had lots of different mf tractors over the years including a 188 and a 590. They are good solid tractors the 575 is also a tractor that you should not dismiss out of hand. I enjoyed the video. Thanks.

[@Ferguson-Power]

The 590er series are good tractors!👌👍💪

[@tractorman810]

blimey shes in a great condition for her age, clearly looked after for sure as you say, theres a IMT 4wd one down here,in similar condition ,out on dartmoor on a small holding near merrivale quarry , in a similar condition, again fitted with the opico turbo , rareish girl i suspect

[@markeves8468]

The first tractor I ploughed with was a MF 590 turbo , 2wd v reg , loved the sound of it and the stainless exhaust, it had a habit of pulling the lugs which hold the dish to the rear rims , and getting lots of punctures. Be aware of the side window which would close and blacken your finger nails in it ! I can feel it now ooooooooooch , great vid , love to see it ploughing before the big strip down, maybe a before and after ? Thanks Norfolk nomad

[@danmackintosh6325]

Finally got the notification & about to watch the vid. The intro, specifically the post-sexy-turbo sounds, reminded me a lot of Tor Eckhoff (Apetor on here). The man's a legend, and a nut of the best variety. He turned 57 the other day...

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Great informative video!! Love that whine of the turbo. Thank you for filming it all!! By the way, loved the rescue dog video you put out last video, great job there sir All the best!

[@DavidWilliams-yg2xh]

Looks a honest example of a 590. Actually just sold a early one like that but not as tidy. Mechanically it was perfect but the cab floor was Fred flintstone spec. Always meant to do it up a bit but never got around to it, so be interesting to see how it comes along. Roof lining looks amazing. Mine was doubling up as a birds nest.

[@adamelliott2302]

If not already done, a road trip to Melton Mowbray would be in order to investigate the history of this 590. And those tasty, tasty pork pies!

[@jonboyroy2566]

Love MF 500 range back then specially the 595 the multi power made all the difference back then the time's 😁

[@robbone1189]

I’m a John Deere man but grew up in Lincolnshire surrounded by Masseys, the farm near us ran a fleet of two and four wheel drives 590’s. Great video, and some excellent movie/tv clips thrown in too!! 😂😂👍🏻

Ahhhhh the whistling Opico turbo, happy memories. I will see if I can find anything on the tractor as we took over that area from Tractamotors 👍

Nice MF 590 we had a 2wd model but she was very be slow on the road compared to our old165 so we changed her for a 2wd ford 7610ap which we still have . MP would fairly speed them up it's a great job cool video 👍

[@Ricey1987]

Farm I worked on doing my apprentice had a 590 used to deliver bales to another farm 15 miles away with it loved driving it then I went to a farm with a 590 turbo which was the oldest tractor on the farm everything else was newer John Deeres I would use the 590 turbo everytime I could because of the sound the others on the farm couldn't understand why I wanted to use it but shhhhhh don't tell anyone I like a Massey as I'm a fordson and old ford man

[@danclatworthy2861]

Cor she's nice. I have a 590 2 wheel drive non turbo. Not just a tractor that sits in a shed, I use it for contracting running a massey little baler, topper, teagle silage trailer and other jobs. Mines in original condition done a lot of hours. In the first 4 years it did 8000 hours

[@astonmcleod5344]

590 was an excellent machine at the time, cutting edge. after the 590 series we had a 698, another good MF. After this time I consider MF lost market share due to two reasons, they failed at R&D, and John Deere introduced the sound gard cab, the one with the round door, it was in my opinion the first comfortable tractor. With agco the parent of MF it appears MF have turned a corner. I have operated several makes of tractor, at heart I am loyal to MF.

[@neilcrossley4718]

I often drive a non turbo 590 4wd but with pavt wheels for a friend of mine it was a beach tractor so has very rusty cab but it is a good yard tractor moving lots of kit about. It starts really easy and drives superb, they are great tractors.

[@Phil-The-Gardener]

I drove a 2wd 590 with a opico turbo for many years while working for a rose grower. when the turbo went wrong they took it off. many happy hours.

[@TemeraireJimny]

We used to have a 540 of a very similar condition but it had a knackered orbital valve and was interesting to take down the road oh and it was gutless. Your 590 on the other hand looks like a bit of a peach!

[@jimclements3190]

She looks like has a few stories to tell, always liked the 500 and 600 series Massy, on our farm we had a 590, 5 690's, a 698t 698 4wd, 699 all small by today's incredible standards but I drove most of them brand new and they were lovely 🇬🇧

The best tractor ( in its class ) of the day. The ones I drove had Opico air pre cleaners , which helped the engine breathe better in very dusty conditions . The 4WD front axle killed the power of the 248 engine ,so the turbo made a huge difference . Around 90 hp when fitted ,( not hard to open them up to 100 ! but don't tell the boss ) A better tractor than the 690 which followed it .
