My father just passed away this past August. Before he got very ill we “adopted” his fathers first tractor purchased in 1954. It’s a Farmal H, although my dad isn’t here to help us we hope to restore it. Grandpa used horses up until he purchased this tractor . Dad had a ton of memories haying with that tractor. When he was a kid he still had to sit on a team of two to lift the hay into the mow.

[@johnfoley9617]

Mwm engine will never have any faults absolute beast

[@judithwhitworth1]

I just love these videos - a gentler way of farming. Well done Mum🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@flankfarm]

Thanks so much

[@davidchiumya]

Thanks for this. I'm encouraged. We've just bought one and are excited about what it's capable of doing.

[@flankfarm]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mjos691]

Renault tractors are more appreciated than years ago. There are now 9 Renault tractors in my community

[@viscache1]

I couldn’t help but think of our menagerie of old tractors. The 1949 JD 440 dozer that we clear the drive with then clear the road beck to the goat shed in winter. Only 2 cylinders but mighty in spirit. Our 1954 JD 440 track loader that gets in and lifts the biggest loads of hay, poop and dirt when needed. The 1969 Case 680CK Backhoe..no farm can get by for long without one. The 1983 AMG military surplus 10 WD Semi with flatbed and 10m missile trailer that can carry a total of 30 tons of hay off road. Finally the 1994 1194 Case farm tractor..nothing but the basics but the 3-point hitch runs the cutter, the discer, post hole digger and pulls everything else out of the mud and snow. I’m always tuning, oiling, greasing or watering these machines but they made them to last and I think my children will be the ones to use them next. We only have 10 acres but we have to do everything ourselves and as you get older like we are you rely on the muscle of machinery where once we just pushed, pulled or carried it off ourselves.

[@flankfarm]

Love this!! Thanks so much for adding this to the video, amazing to have your stories alongside it

[@perambulationsinfranglais8947]

Just like the perfect children's drawing of a tractor! 🚜 Fantastic!

[@paulsharpe6996]

As all your Videos Rufus, I love them all, I think your mum is a beautiful lady, I love all her chats about her various tractors & machinery on the farm as if they were almost Human, her children in not so many words & always seems more than content with everything, ( even without a radio in the cab) I love the empathy the lady has with all of her livestock, if I was any type of farm animal, Large or Small, your mum's farm is where I would want to be reared, with all that love, care & attention to every single animal/bird on that farm, it goes without saying really, you boys growing up with a mum like that & what little bit I've seen of dad, it must of been a fantastic childhood with such a beautiful close family. I know there are always going to be moments as in any family & sadness when you lose an animal for what ever reason, but that's the farming life. I love your dedication to film mum in all aspects of her working life on the farm, through spring, summer, autumn & winter, from hay & silage making, to sheep lambing & cows calfing & if I remember correctly rearing pig's as well. I love the way mum chats about her contractor, who always manages to slot mum in to cut, rake/ted & bale all the hay & silage & mum talks about the big green shiny John Deere & big machinery which gets all the work done in a fraction of the time that mum could do it, along with the spreading of the manure to put all the home grown goodness back in to the land. Keep up with the videos Rufus, because I just love watching mum running the farm with all that hard work & commitment & dedication to every single job that has to be carried out through the farming year. I've enjoyed every single video you have filmed & will equally enjoy future videos, as & when you film them. I hope you like my comments as much as I enjoy your videos, all the best, Paul Sharpe🚜🚜👍just one more thing I would like to say before I go, please get mum a radio fitted in the Renault Tractor for Christmas please, mum more than deserves that small request 🙏🤞👍

[@himself2]

like a well worn pair of shoes, comfortable and reliable, great video

[@helenel4126]

I just love your mum! Renault needs to give her a present for that advertisement.

[@talkorenlevy]

When your mom mentioned sitting you boys near her, made me remember sitting on my dad's traktor wing holding on to the side post, my sister sitting on the other side, was such great fun! That was more than 30 years ago. Thank you for the video, and for making me remember ❤️

[@flankfarm]

Tractors definitely hold some special memories! Glad our Renault brought something back for you

[@charliecharlie7898]

Growing up in Dowagiac, Michigan USA, I spent all of my Summers on my Uncle's farm. I've watched all of your videos and immensely enjoy them. Just wish you would post them more often.

[@seanmcneill8899]

Lovely Tractor and lovely People..Greetings from Ireland 😎

[@flankfarm]

Hey Sean! Great to hear from you and glad you like the tractor 😁

[@Bluesbrotherfan]

The first time I drove a tractor, was this one. Love the video.

[@vreel8303]

This video arrived just at the right time - rainy Sunday with a cup of tea in hand, and what a great video it was. We love your mum's love for her loyal farm machinery! 🚜😍

[@flankfarm]

Thanks team VReel! Sounds like a perfect way to enjoy a Sunday

[@donnellykieranj]

My late father had a 75.12, fantastic little tractor. MWM engines you see... bulletproof. Had to get the brakes reconditioned as well. But great tractor. Renault with the mwm engine were fantastic back in the day. My kids called ours daffodil, as it started out life on a daffodil farm apparently 😊 . Your mum is an absolute star BTW.

[@flankfarm]

Thanks Kieran! Awesome comment and great to hear about your father & tractor !! 🚜

[@davidbrock5993]

Best of the Renault range 😎

[@fransjesamsom9988]

We love you! Just keeps me going when farming life throws a wobbly. I just look at your mindset and keep going

[@paulhayday8212]

Sitting in my small poly tunnel with the plants and seedlings watching another fine vlog from you both. Good for a Sunday morning! Keep it up Ru & mum. Paul Hayday West Wycombe village

[@flankfarm]

Love it, thanks Paul. What’re you growing?

[@paulhayday8212]

FLANK - cannas, 2 x Japanese bananas, phlox, lemon, 1 x mango and other stuff!! Now sun has gone in, so shall I !! Have a splendid afternoon Ru.

[@braxtonwitteveen8677]

I have a new holland 7840 and it is my favourite tractor because it wasdeliverd to the farm the day I was born and it has only been to the dealer once and it never breaks

[@jobettis9679]

Another great vlog. Its heartening to see how appreciative your mum is. The warmth she shows when she talks about her tractors ❤🚜. They truly are cherished items on the farm & rightly so. xx

[@jackbyrne8814]

Thank you, going to look at one tomorrow 75-32 if its still in the garage in excellent condition. Some give them a bad name so I was glad that yours was so reliable. I have two renault cars so it would look good parked beside them. God Bless your work.

[@vinylrevolutions9718]

Charming video. Thank you for taking note of my comments under the last one. I look forward to the next.

[@scrasebridge]

Thank you, I've ditched the idea of a JCB 8330 Fastrac in favour of a 2nd Hand Renault. // Beautiful, seemingly simple video, with a subject other than the presenter.

[@jamesgillett9559]

Another class video, I’ve watched them all!!

[@baldybaldwin2825]

I have a 1952 John Deere model A my dad purchased new in 1952 when I was 4 years old, I still use it on my farm in Tennessee USA 🇺🇸.

[@flankfarm]

Wow! That’s special, great to hear from you

[@Frankowillo]

Best thing about that tractor? Customized with a Brit brass handle!

[@flankfarm]

Optional extra!

[@michaelhartley9450]

Great video as always your mum always makes me smile keep up the good work

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Hello Rufus. I must confess, I’ve never driven a Renault tractor. Out of all the farms I’ve worked on, no one had a Renault. Not having a central gear stick is obviously a boon. Nothing to trip over when getting in or out. So as long as the engine starts and the hydraulics work, what else can you ask for.

[@mickward6751]

your mother is always loves farming

[@suzanne9504]

This video has brightened my day. Your mum is an absolute star. I love her tractor enthusiasm - I just smiled the whole way through this.

[@flankfarm]

Hah, thanks - she certainly has Tractor Enthusiasm in abundance!

[@andrewellison1203]

What a lovely video nice to see you guys down to Earth relying on good old machinery I remember the Renault tractor when I was a kid used to think it was absolutely amazing as much as it is and when you think 30 years on still working hard credit to your mother lovely lady regards from Andy xx

[@laurieheyman195]

Love your videos! From Los Angeles, California

[@fatchef100]

[@flankfarm]

Thank you Chelsea! Way too kind, and looking forward to showing more

[@lewisfarms2566]

Amazing video as always!

[@flankfarm]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Lewis!

[@alsagrivids4434]

my tractor is a ford 333. built in 1980, used to be owned by the council but now we have it. never had any major problems with it in 14 years of owning it !

[@newholland527]

Always look forward to the notification of a new video, another great one, the way Sarah describes her tractors 👌🏼😄, JB

[@jamesfoad9639]

great video i always enjoy them very much, i have a 1983 jcb 520-4 loadall a friend of my parents had one when i was about 8 and i always wanted one, it took me about 30 years to get one, it was my very first loadall now i cant bare to part with it even though i have upgraded to a 18 year old one, some of us have to survive on the smell of an oily rag.

[@flankfarm]

Love it!

[@Beau653]

Keep it up guys I love ur vids I'm watching from ausralia

[@Beau653]

Good as always

[@DafyddHopkins4]

Great tractor there we have a case 1394 and it’s a very good tractor it does everything we want it to do just like that Renault keep up the great work with the videos looking forward to the next one 👍🏻👍🏻

[@flankfarm]

Thanks Daffy! What a beauty the case 1394 is too 👍🏼

[@donnellykieranj]

Agree, the 1394 is another proper old school bulletproof tractor from the 80s. Just like the Renault, a great, reliable and underrated tractor. I think the 80s was a golden age for tractor manufacturing.

[@markwright3161]

Our wee farm has a Ferguson TE20, Ferguson 35 'yellow belly', International B275, International 674 78 2WD, Massey Ferguson 590 2WD and our big tractor is a Massey Ferguson 390T 4WD. Sadly the B275 is in the middle of a stalled engine rebuild, and the TVO (TE20) stopped with a seized engine I think and is waiting for the 275 to leave the workshop before it gets looked at, while everything else is burning oil and boiling off water, while the wee 4 cylinder diesel started spewing diesel everywhere a short while ago. I've grown up around them from a relatively young age, wasn't born into the farm but have been here for as long as I can remember. It might seem strange to say but they've always felt like part of the family, and seeing them in disrepair is disheartening. They all had their jobs, when they were all running. The B275 would push in the silage, the TVO would scrap out the cattle, the 674 mixes the slurry and I think it was the one that ground the barley before we out sourced that, the 590 permanently has a hedge cutter on the back, but the relatively recent 'new' hedge cutter is probably too heavy for it, the 35 did the general light stuff with a link box, and then used for cutting the grass with a cutting bar as well and similar, and the 390T does all the heavy stuff and loader work, putting bales in, loading and putting out muck with the muck spreader, etc.

[@mtozzy11]

She's a lovely old girl, it's meets the fundamentals of what a good farm tractor should be, reliable, comfortable and does what you want when you want it. 😁

[@Aardvarkangus]

I love the way your mom describes her tractor. Too bad about the lack of a radio.

[@AmiBurr]

Always love your work/craft and am more than encouraged watching your beautiful momma work the farm. I’m a female farmer here in the Appalachian mtns of TN. I’m about a decade behind her and also a mom and wife. She’s inspiring. Would love to hear how she juggled mothering and farming. And did she have friends along the way that we’re female farmers too? Can get pretty lonely as a woman when friends do not understand your excitement over good calves or lambs or manure.👩🏻‍🌾 Thanks again, your work is a favorite here on our farm!

[@matthewmadge9478]

I’ve got the exact same tractor (although ours is muck more banged up) she did the hole harvest for us this year p.s I absolutely love your mum ❤️❤️

[@susanmarsh4351]

They don’t build them like that anymore! A great tractor for a farm your size. Good physical size for a female. Couldn’t drive my fathers. Couldn’t reach the pedals at all. Nice to hear from you both. More vlogs please!

[@matthewhomer9369]

I have a renaullt 651 just great tough tractor 👍

[@markcoyne6540]

Hi there. I loved the video of your Renault tractor. What model is it? I looking at a Renault 751 4S next Saturday. It's a 4x4 with a loader. Any advice or things to look out for would be greatly appreciated. We're looking for a basic reliable economical tractor to lift silage bales and stack them with the loader, clean out sheds, Topping, fertiliser spreading and trailer work. Do Renault tractors give any bother starting from cold or electrical faults? Look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your advice. Best regards Mark

[@tobytractor711]

I remember those new at the Royal show in the mid 80s levelling the tractor was pulling area ground when i was a teenager

[@markcoyne6540]

Hi there. Loved the video. What model Renault tractor is it? I'm looking at a refurbished Renault 751 4S 4x4 tractor similar to yours next Saturday. It has a front loader as well. Any advice or things to look out for would be greatly appreciated. We're looking for a basic reliable tractor thats affordable for lifting silage bales of trailers and stacking them. Topping, trailer work and spreading fertiliser. Look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your advice. Best regards. Mark

[@noahhyde786]

Could you do a video that could help people that want to be farmers to know the basic things you need to be a stock farmer?
