Massey Ferguson Balers and Hay Tools 1980

[@spinnercheezspunky]

This is great! I have a 124 with a thrower, run by 165 and 275 tractors. Awesome to see the promotional material from when it was new! Thanks for posting

Can't make out the narration due to it being drowned out by the damned music !

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I agree.

I would love to find these old MF Television tapes.

Enjoy the video . We ran Massey Ferguson tractors since the late 1950's on my dad's farm. Today I have a 1990 MF 3070 and a MF 4:16's plow.

1:56 Cutterbar mowers: By That time in The UK they were WAY out of fashion, discs and drum mowers were well established by then. e.g. we got our first drum mower in 1969!

[@lukestrawwalker]

Drum and disk mowers didn't really start catching on here in the US until the mid-late 80's... we bought our CM 212 Zweegers drum mower brand new in 1988... dealer had those and the first generation of Kuhn disk mowers with the non-top service hub cutterbars... they had a NH model which at the time was a repainted Kuhn non-top service model... They kept selling those until NH came out with their own model a few years later. Kuhn later came out with the top-service hub cutterbars. We bought the Zweegers drum mower because I figured that having six bevel gears in a gearbox mounted up above the cutting drums up out of the dirt was a much sturdier design than having 23 spur gears and idler gears running in a cutterbar down on the dirt under the mower disks... we're still running the old drum mower while most of those disk mowers went to scrap long ago... Course now most all the mowers on the market are the disk mowers, BUT they've also come a long way in advancing the design... the cutterbars are top service now for the most part, incorporate various designs to protect the cutterbar and gears inside via shearhubs or other means, and armored the cutterbar gearboxes by putting stubble shoes, guards, and wear plates over most of them. The various designs of modular cutterbars incorporating a stack of side-by-side gearbox modules is also a far superior design to the early single gearbox oil bath spur gear cutterbars...

mf was great back then have a fleet of old mf tractors 50 thru 1135 great

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

MF best equipment made in my opinion back then. Don’t know about it now days.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

ah yes, the mid-flight bale for the "Balers And Hay Tools" title screen, that never got old back when this video first was released in the 80's

[@toyotahilux2]

Just sold a massey 120 baler that's been in the back of a shed for about 25 years this week

[@GeigerFarm]

Thanks for this. I have worn out 2 41 mowers and still run the rake when working alfalfa! Brothers run 124 balers🙂

[@MFV8]

Thanks. I have more of these MF videos, I'll post them as soon as I can get them converted.

[@brodieschubert2388]

I would have had this vhs worn out as a kid. Love these videos

[@Man-cv5ws]

Looks like they would have thrown some kind of cab on the swather.

[@lukestrawwalker]

I think they did up in Canada, gotta keep from freezing to death LOL:)
