NEW 2022 HYUNDAI 140A-Series with the LEGEND Doug Potter

[@paulnolan1352]

Hi Lord Muck, thanks for putting this together. I’m a retired Plant Mechanic of many years and I like your question on making a short film and producing the content, how about the people?, the plant machinery game wasn’t just about the kit and the day to day working it was about the men, the skills, the perseverance and I suppose comparing us all to the old pioneers, so, round a few of us up and get us operating some plant and get us swapping experiences again and mix us in with the new guys as well and just see how we all get on and how it makes a good film for everyone interested in machinery and your channel. Thx for your time.

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

That's great to see him getting back in the controls I used to love watching my grandfather man handle the dozer up on steep hills he would stop on the slope and the machine would slide sideways and then he drop her in gear and climb right back up and send it. He fought in ww2 as tank driver and had nerves of steel great man the older generation had something this next generation will never get.

[@DirtPerfect]

Awesome video Doug seams like a really cool guy and agree with everything you guys said. Hyundai has been awesome to work with over the years.

[@LordMuck]

They're a cracking machine and very underrated.

[@theoriginalwelderpaul]

I met Doug years ago, lovely bloke and nice to see him again

[@roylaunchbury-rainey8568]

Muck spreading, the world needs more Muck. And who is best placed to do that? well it has to be the Lord of it.

[@RobClarkeRacing]

Nice, enjoyed the video. Great to see old school operators. The video made me think. A video where you put the latest drivers on old school, as in pre war kit and then reverse that with the oldest driver on new kit. Love the content 👍

[@kevinmothers904]

"It's as if he's done that before" must be the best one liner yet. Well done Doug for giving us a demonstration of how it's done, hope I'm still able to get in any cab at 80 and make go of it! Thanks LM for showing a bit of British clag and thrash from the Napier engine of 55019 Royal Highland Fusilier, much appreciated. Now, if I was a creative director of an episode my choice would be a video of how tipper trucks have developed from the days of Kew Dodges as in the film Hell Drivers to todays big boys toys.

[@nigelburton5376]

I would like to see a feature on the operators of years gone by, It was fantastic to see the joy on Dougs face when he was in that 210, his sprit was lifted. It would be great to see more of that, some retired guys reunited with the machines they used to run, maybe the gear they learned on, and to hear a few yarns from days gone by. If not that maybe something with a propeller for something different.

[@timothymilam732]

Some of them ole boys were purely magical to witness their abilities in equipment that was a PIA to operate just on flat surfaces. Think about the ones that had four times the levers, and pedals to do what is done with one joy stick nowadays. Plus they had the noise, heat, vibration, and a quarter of the pay to boot! Purely magical is only way I know how to explain it to those that never had the honor to witness it first hand. Thanks Your Lord Muckster, those last two were a treat, and brought back memories lost in the old fog bank of different men, and they're machines across the pond and half a continent away

[@weegrant1980]

Great video, for not being on a 360 for years, Doug really is smooth with both machines. A real testament to his abilities. An answer to your question, how about taking part in a track day at a racing circuit

[@zoewaight163]

Great video brilliant too see Doug potter back in the seat you can tell he definitely enjoyed himself on the leavers thanks muck fab job

[@mikeduin8311]

Absolutely amazing to see Mr. Potter at nearly 80 working the hyundai's as smooth as that, even the 210 with all those years of experience. Just a joy to watch! And great to see you got him some nice gifts as a thank you. Lord muck episode: taking a new tractor with trailer to go and do a Will it start on An old digger/dozer/tractor, use some new tools willst trying to get the machine going. Then take said machine back on the trailer to test the new tractor. Just a brainfart.... All the best M'lod! Cheers, Mike

[@trevorhewett834]

Great work. I worked on a farm as a lad & learnt to drive tractors, then I did some work in forestry & used Fordson Majors, one had a winch fitted & had a 6 cylinder engine. That was over 50 years ago but I still love old tractors & see many Massey Ferguson's in use since I retired here on the Maltese islands 7 years ago. I am so pleased that I discovered your show.

[@bodg130]

All these plant Operators that think they are good will never be as good as Doug Potter, what an absolute gent and a brilliant plant operator, absolute legend, hats off to him.

[@mittw1054]

Any chance you could find out where all the 1980's tractor's got export to, and are they still.in use please

[@zftransmax1]

Ahhh that was fantastic... I'd say the memories was flooding back wen he got into that 210... great video.

[@matthewhodder3029]

Another great Lord Muck production and you made an old man very happy. Great feel good factor and an interesting comparison too

[@alfadoofus]

I am glad you showcased that oldtimers skill , I worked on a few jobsites and seen a some good operators But Doug has probably forgotten more than the hotshots think they know . I like the old iron and seeing it come back to life or just seeing it.

[@collwyngoodlad3680]

I'd like to see an episode looking at the history of the JCB Backhoes (Seeing your videos on your 3C has sparked my interest from when I was young and watching the County ones on road works etc....) but seeing them in action on a modern site and how they compare with the latest ones for capability and efficiency etc. Possibly look at attachments like breakers, hand held hammers, pallet tines, whacker plates, pan mixers, etc

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from durham KM @ LM got to say at 7:20-7:25 and 9:30-9:35 played dougies face was like a beam of sunshine at rite time he was in his element and I felt so overwhelmed just at that the machines made a difference but I am grateful just to of seen that smile on his face as if he just got in the machine for first time 💙💓💪💪💓💙 love that overjoyed feeling thank you for your time and massive thanks to DOUG POTTER 💙 be safe snd see you soon 👍👋

[@danpettifer8260]

Another great video, haven't seen Doug in action since I went to college at bircham newton and we went to SED for the day. What a true legend he is

[@TheGingerGenius78]

It’s great to see Doug back in the seat ! Just like the days at SED or the Doe Show when I first saw him operate and as a group of students back in late 90s we would watch his demos with words like how the duck and such as he slews round on the side slopes etc ! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this happen and to all those that came together to help you do it really nice to see ! As for an episode of LM well it would be great to see a big will it start something like a haul truck or big old excavator or dragline or such :) the tractor and vehicle will it starts are really good but the challenge of something larger would be great! I’m sure we could find something to fit the bill lurking in East Anglia ! 😉😉

[@jasongalley8281]

What a legend Doug is!!! Just goes to show you never lose it. Great to see. Now. I’d love to see a top gear style video, you, Saunders and Deano all turning up to a field with a tractor of your choice and putting them to work against each other. Ploughing, cultivating, pulling a full trailer, racing around an obstacle course. That would be amazing. Let’s get it done. 👍🏼

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That was a nice thing you did for Mr. Potter. My idea is for a Rodeo of equipment where you can get some equipment doing a certain number of tasks skillfully and you can get some of the older guys to judge who is the best at it. The winner can then get a prize and some bragging rights. This could be a family affair where they can enjoy the day and see what dad does for a living. I went to one for truck driving where the drivers had to precisely maneuver around obstacles. The drivers families and locals went and there was food and drink as well as the people cheering for the drivers. Great fun for all and proceeds can go to the winners favorite charity.

[@helenburton3338]

Great to see Doug in action and enjoying himself… if I was directing the Chanel for a day, I think I’d choose something like a day at the National Ploughing Championships maybe? You’d get to see Vintage trailed, Classic mounted reversible, World Style, Modern, Steam Engine and Heavy Horses. Also hedge laying.

[@elborrachogrande]

First off, what a pleasure to see Doug hop into those excavators. A true master and a gentleman. If I had creative license to choose the subject for a LM episode, it would definitely focus on British bombers and fighters of WWII. The storytellers from that time are almost all gone, and it is important for present and future generations to understand how air power played a critical role in the Allies winning the war.

[@rolnics]

You certainly made Doug's day! As for the question, how can technology be used to help farmers improve efficiency and make savings, such as using drones to map the fields.

[@michaelcooke1672]

Fiest class video.Lovely to see Mr Potter having a wonderful day.You could tell he loved just by the look on his face.

[@donc81]

That really looked liked Doug enjoyed himself running the equipment. Hyundai looks like they make a really nice machine. Great video muck!

[@LordMuck]

Cheers Don 👍

[@antonyrunciman5578]

Great to see the respect you have for Doug. I’m sure Doug enjoyed some digger time again . Great video

[@ryanjohnson4320]

Another fine episode. If I were the director, it'd be great to see an episode geared towards operators of equipment, with tips and tricks on time efficiency, and respect to care of the equipment.

[@robertmunday-crates7616]

Thanks Mucker and well done to Doug, he was a natural talking to the camera in the cab! Can we see more of Doug?

[@chox2001]

I’m not an excavator big fan but I thoroughly enjoyed that. Congratulations on pulling that off for us all. My episode would be about the Mercedes unimog

[@markwestmore4178]

There's drivers and driver's and then there's doug potter, enough said 🙂👌good on you mucker.

[@georgegalyer8224]

Just watching this older video brought back memories. We had various newish Hitachi 360's but the machine that was left on topsoil piles for all to jump in and load themselves was a 210 Komatsu. Lovely bit of kit. Beautiful to operate, quick hitch, no f**king adblue pumps to go wrong etc, etc. Hitachi were the site machines that got traded in as and when. Sounds tragic? But when that old Komatsu eventually went. It was like losing a mate!! Trouble with getting old I suppose. lol.

[@rangeroverl322]

Best video yet, the old master still got it. Didn't he make them move . Well done Doug and good on ya Kurt for sorting it 👍👍👍

[@thomastaylor1283]

Poetry in motion there is mountains of talent about us that nobody sees plough men, bobcat drivers etc . It’s great to see. Thank you. Creative idea the development of the plough from single furrow walk behind to multi furrow guided prestressed beam because we might be seeing the demise of it like we did in the early 80s when direct drilling was the answer remember the betterson 3D tive slit cutler and mf 300 drills. We have been down this road before but power and size is against the plough today.

[@chrisclose7793]

Great video as always good to see a old school operator comparing a older machine with a new machine should get doug to do a comparison with a old jcb 814 and a new jcb

[@simongriggs4351]

Really great video duog was spot on at 80 did not miss a beet thanks lord muck

[@steven907]

Got to say mucker you have knocked it out the park with this video that man is a legend like the excavator equivalent of evil kinevil

[@johnthrelfall23]

great video lovely to see gentleman doing what he obviously loves doing at a young 80 and happy birthday Doug

[@stevehucker7170]

Yet again another great video really enjoyed that,if I had to choose a video it would be George Saunders at a bmx track,only joking,it would be a video at a local steam show,there would be working steam engines,tractors,cars motorcycles,machinery and tools a real mix of all you show on your channel.thanks again for sharing.

[@wyattoneable]

This was a fantastic episode. So much going with the equipment and construction expert Doug.

[@dustykeetch8927]

awesome video but as for the question I'd like a trip on the history of the powermaster ford 801 and 901 series tractors. Anyway awesome episode pretty damn cool!

[@miketrotman969]

The ferguson system and how it changed agriculture worldwide and tractors as we know it 👌

[@lewisgardner1660]

That man is a star, the look on his face say it all. I see it’s a rose builders machine do you know mr rose? A lot of people look upto him

[@phillipmcalinney4256]

Great video! Fantastic to see a skilled operator at work. Thanks so much for going to the effort to put this together and to everyone involved. Question time... Lots of folk have always bad mouthed Leyland cars but I have drove many a Leyland bus and you never hear drivers complaining about Leyland buses (ok the headless wonder(the 510 engine) was bad decision for bus on there part but I see why they done it) Id like to do a video on the headless wonder engine and why no one has maybe tried it again..

[@howardporter7440]

That old boy is in heaven just look at the happy head on him i have drove the 12 ton and a great wee machine good work good video

[@ryannicholas8045]

great clip as always mucker was a pleasure seeing doug back in his element. If i had to do a lord mucker episode it would be about YOU yes YOU. From sitting this side of the tv watching you enjoy bodging and mucking around. I personally would love to know what made you the person who you are today and who was your idols and where the passion for heavy equipment is from and a bit of history on previous work project you where fortunate to do. cheers again mucker do well

[@jamieshields9521]

Awesome to see Doug Potter in action, what skill operator even at age of 80. Can’t wait to read Earthmovers magazine with Digger Man interview👍. To the winner, I say SEND IT with Type 55 Locomotive, Q what type engine is in Locomotive? As for what type vid I would like to do, Pimp my daily operating machine, this could be truck, tractor, earthmoving equipment etc so Mucka n YT subscribers you get see what Mucka subscribers operate.

[@railroadman57]

LM thank you for this Splendid video , watching Doug enjoying himself operating the Hyundai excavators seeing the big smile on his face was worth a million ! Bless you making such a wonderful day for Doug ! Cheers 🍻🍻

[@pitt6801]

Yet another really great question Mucker. I think I'd really like to produce a show where you come to mine and fix my 1940's twin Cylinder Ruston and Hornsby diesel generator set. The poor old thing has sat for far too long under a tarp awaiting the love it deserves. Its a lovely old piece of kit with two massive flywheels and a 25KVA generator which just need bolting back onto their cast iron base and fettling back into life. I'm sure that it would make a great episode which all my fellow Muckers would enjoy. Here's hoping 🤞Do well Mucker!

[@chrisfleming5109]

Fantastic video all round with high-quality content. I don't have much experience with Hyundai but in the JCB world, I would say that the 3cx model built in the early 90's grey cab model was way better than the models today and I have used all of them over the years. Also in 2003, I got a new JS220LC and that model was the best I have used and recently I have used Volvo, Cat and Hitachi 20ton machines and these are definitely not as good as the js220 from 2003. So my point is that not all machines are improving as time goes by.

[@andrewcole851]

lurking inthe background of this video i spotted an old daf tipper 2300 or 2800 find out if this old duchess is still earning if she is what is she doing if not a will it start and move video

[@richardjones5255]

Very impressive, both man and machine, his feel for the task was obvious.

[@henrybarbour289]

Love to see an episode of a tractor/truck/train or any machine with an exceptionally large engine still out working earning a keep thundering through its day.

[@donparker8246]

The man is an absolute professional. I was watching him on the 210. Not a single wasted movement. About as efficient as can be. 😁👍 He basically said it's like an extension of your own body.

[@clifforddark]

Good morning your Lordship. Been thinking about your “question”. What about getting Simon Slingsby to do a feature on the class 55 Delta. There are so many of us that are not really sure of how this Delta engine and transmission works. I’m sure that there is a private line, club, organisation somewhere that would welcome the idea of doing a video on this engine, good publicity for them ! What do you think.? All the best, you do it well Clifford.

[@daveadams4128]

I really enjoyed that, almost as much as Doug did ! Lots of people have an interest in different forms of kit - myself, its' the big 6 cylinder fords from back in the day.but the only exposure to them is either over the hedge,Tractor magazines or yours & Georges channel. The only way to 'have a go on one' is to buy one, but its one thing buying a Ford 3000 to have a go on but there's no chance to actually have a drive on any of the larger kit. If only someone would give people the opportunity to experience these machines & maybe the modern variant that would be epic. ATB Dave

[@kenmurray4232]

Great video comparison between new & old. I would really like to see the cab rebuild process on the Matador. Thanks for sharing

[@julianhawker7672]

Doug, legend for sure, great too see you still at it at nearly 80. Best Wishes. :-) Episode ideas.......... Dale and the 2000 mile harvest+ all the other custom cutters.

[@markdonoghue1013]

I’d have an episode about quarrying showing the mobile crushers and screens and how they operate with 360 and loading shovels dumpers and how much ton an hour of stone can be pushed through the plant

[@wiliamheadwoods]

Another great video been looking forward to this one, sadly I lack any form of creative bone in my body so a episode by me would just see you doing more history stuff or perhaps a day with you and my track car at a track having a good go and perhaps hearing your review or changes you’d make to the car

[@davidjohnson6891]

Great episode You should do an episode following up on your competition winner with the Deltic focusing on the Napier Deltic diesel engine and showing how different it is to a conventional engine and its origins

[@billupstateny9151]

Nice to acknowledge your legendary friend. 💯

[@TheDARJAMRAN]

Such an amazing video❤️, Brought back happy memories of seeing the bobcat demo’s at the royal show, digging and doing similar stunts🙂

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks Kurt and Doug great vid .thanks for shearing.... Take care to you both...

[@LordMuck]

Cheers Kev 👍

[@gmartin8240]

Lovely video with Doug on the two machines, a true professional. If I had a chance to do a video, how about tips and tricks on pulling trailers. From jeeps to tractors. Well done Mucker 🚜🛠

[@saxovtr1234]

What a brilliant video and a fantastic tribute to Doug

[@treestractorsandtimber33]

Brilliant video!! My video idea would be forestry equipment seen in use going from older machines like County’s, Boughton winches, timber cranes up to modern day purpose built harvesters & forwarders

[@owensmith862]

Great video, Doug seemed to be loving it! I'd like to a episode where you get the big Styer (in the background when you bought the 7810) out and working, maybe against the current CNH equivalent, please

[@miketrotman969]

Lord muck a tour of the classics in my shed!

[@neilcotten2816]

Brilliant, good to see him back in action. He still puts a lot of operators to shame.

[@paulpreston1736]

That was brilliant well done Doug fine to see you back on a bigger and to you mucker 👍for getting it sorted out

[@HamptonSimon]

I often pass what looks like a plant and machinery auction near Mepal in Cambridgeshire that would make a great video. The yard looks like it’s full of 70’s - 90’s era kit, would love to see you and Saunders just have a walk through and tell some stories!

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment again. Fantastic idea for Doug's Birthday. Well done all involved.

[@paulatkinson2849]

Nice to see an old hand taking the controls and showing us young pups how it's done 😁😁😁

[@gethhumphreys6717]

Another interesting video mucker, as i used to be a machine driver, keep it up dug poter, watching from aberystwyth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@garethmcmahon9769]

Great to see the old boy still has it! For me review of the Ford 550 digger.

[@stevehedgecock2560]

Great video nice to see some heavy plant doing some work. A day in the life of a fitter might be a good episode around harvest time perhaps? All the best mucker

[@chrisbowman4487]

Great video and what an operator and gentleman . I would have an episode on traction engine .

[@jamessingleton5686]

Excellent video top job, my idea of a video would be tour of the David brown tractor club museum were the last tractor is looked after and also a walk round the old David brown tractor site at meltham, were most of the old tractor plant buildings are still being used by companies today.

[@michaelconway81]

I've been waiting for this one and Doug didn't dissapoint. As for the creative directors gig. It'd be just yourself Kim and Clarance Fudweasle doing a load more will it start videos and why the old churn I mean battery holder always works so well! Send it!

[@michaelguerin56]

Thank you for a great video. I have been hanging out for this one. Good to see a master at the controls.

[@stubuddle5561]

Great video. Well done Muck for getting Doug out and about. Bo well.

[@andrewmear8704]

Great to see someone having fun with a digger 👍 if I was creative director for an episode I’d love to see something about crawlers from the early ones to the modern rubber tracked ones. Their good and bad points how you get the best from them and where they really excel at. We had a lad come with a D5 with a blade once and dig a dirty water pond He did the majority of the work with the dozer and they just used a 360 to finish off it was fascinating to see it working in the hands of such a skilled operator. Livestock farming means I’m highly unlikely to get an opportunity to see much of these machines and that’s the beauty of your channel such a wide variety so probably at some point something like this will just turn up 😊😉 and until then I’ll keep watching and having fun. Great channel thoroughly enjoying all the content. Keep having fun 👍

[@markfiges999]

Superb vid LM, and an extra big thank you to Doug.

[@paulbrougham451]

Great vid as always. I think it would be interesting to have a look at how the waste recycling industry has evolved over the last few decades, from almost everything going to landfill to zero to landfill. Focusing mainly on the construction waste side.

[@keitharmitage1801]

Fantastic video, really enjoyed it. How about a video on how the big ag machinery brands have amalgamated over the past 4 or 5 decades, and why it happened.

[@philgardener7018]

Great Video I would get a 1940s tractor, 1960s tractor, 1980s tractor, 2000 tractor and a 2020 tractor comparing the differences as tractors have evolved over time

[@johnmelhuish3806]

This is a great example, once you can operate a machine it never leaves you . It makes tickets look stupid .

[@gaslight5]

Tickets are stupid, there giving them to idiots that then think they are experts. Not too many good young operators about

[@bentew5370]

What a another brilliant vid and what a legend in his element always a pleasure to watch

[@andysimpson5159]

Great vid. I would like to see you do two vids a tour of one of the big tractor manufacture and visiting Laura and her dad in France. .

[@v4nd3l39]

Evening LM.... My Episode would b George Saunders on a BMX Bike and u doing a Day on Farming 22 😆 🤣 😂

[@harrysemmence5046]

I know it's not quite what you asked but it would either be a series or an episode with the seasons merged together of a traditional farming year using vintage or classic kit. Yes I know it's been done before however not in a way presented by someone such as yourself, a true representation showing the positives and the negatives and how far farm machinery and tractors have evolved whilst the basics are pretty similar

[@amps8lfc]

Great Video mucker!!.. my episode would be filmed outside gretta's house .... to see how much how dare you smoke we can make 🤣🤣

[@lifebehindthelevers]

Majestic..dougie potter back on the shift. Did he have a time sheet ready for you to sign? 😉😂

[@johnhildreth8334]

Brilliant vid. Well done and credit to you for making it work 👍

[@markhall9048]

It is literally like riding a bike 👍 things have moved on so much from the the 70's till now it still the same feel 👍 great post 🙏

[@acespark1]

What a great video I just want to thank you😁👍🏻

[@johnmassingham5109]

My first thought on making an episode for this channel was a "will it start" as I have a few tractors a digger and a Drott which are well past their best. However this has been covered before so what about a marine theme? I have spent the winter re-fitting my ex-commercial fishing boat which has been ashore for 10 years since I retired. It is powered by a Cummins 6CTA 430 hp engine (last with a "proper" mechanical pump, not a common rail in sight) and needs possibly another 4-6 weeks to finish. I know LM is fairly close to me so what a about a trip to see the seals in our local harbour and weather permitting a run out to the wind farms to see just how big an offshore turbine looks close up?

[@LordMuck]

Give me a call when it's done 👍
