Snow Plowing 1950s Nuffield

The first plow of the season with my vintage Nuffield universal four tractor using my home engineered ATV plow on the front and an extended scraper blade on the back. I love this thing!

I just love that big old tractor. The sound it makes while idling, is like someone clicking their fingers 🤣

[@ash.pollard]

Probably metal on metal smashing itself to bits if where honest... CHARACTER 🤣👍

[@PeterPeer]

Oowww that fire lit at the end. That must feel so good. A satisfire!

[@ash.pollard]

Satisfire, love it 😅 yea it's a damn good feeling 👌

[@whu58]

That double pass (one front & rear ploughs) looks perfect for clearing paths & driveways👌, + just love that solid old school red tractor of yours with the dark days & nights = something magical about it👍.

[@ash.pollard]

Was a bit overkill for this amount of snow with the double blade but really shines once it gets to like 40cm. I'll take any excuse to play with it though 😅

[@stewmoyse7310]

boys and there toys yes lad lve this

[@ash.pollard]

Never grow up 😅👍

[@alecjames1426]

It’s easier to pull than push raise your front a bit 👍

[@IrenESorius]

Ohhhh what a joy when your dieselengine starts up like that, in proper winter temperatures,, ⭐🥳💖. As always Ash. Cheers and thanks for your time and work it takes to share your adventures,, 🍻😎👍‍‍👍‍‍

[@ash.pollard]

Wish I'd have put the second pre heater on last year. It used to be a whole day event just to get the tractor out 🤣 my pleasure!

[@vog178]

One of my favourite issues about tractor s! Have one myself (T-25 built in USSR). You're a top tractor-driver Ash!

[@ash.pollard]

Awesome! I love these old machines 😊

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

And the Thunderbird returns to its pod till next time its needed. Fabulous video Ash. As you know I love that machine, proper Old Skool kit. Quite surprising how far the linkages lift up. Right I've watched this twice now. Awesome 👌

[@ash.pollard]

Hahah thunderbird... love it 😅 it's quite a versatile machine, so glad we got this one. Definitely has character 👌

[@ringonotts]

Sitting here in my tiny suburban house watching this and thinking - "you really have made it if you own your own tractor". Epic. I think if i had all the money in the world i would just buy something like that. Perfect.

[@ash.pollard]

After having driven a couple of modern big tractors, none of them put the same smile of my face as this thing 😊

[@paulbailey1149]

Just love your videos , in all respects. Thanks again and happy Christmas to you both .

[@ash.pollard]

Thanks Paul, you too!

[@andrewlecount8944]

Looks like that modified grader blade is working great! That Was really great to see the wildlife, were those Roe deer? I'm wondering if you do any hunting on your place? We just finished up our firearms season for Whitetail deer here in Indiana US. My wife and I and also our daughter hunt and were able to harvest 4 deer to fill our freezer with venison for the year! Love the Chanel!

[@ash.pollard]

It's really working well! Gets me out of the danger zone near the edge haha. Most people here hunt but we can't get the licence yet as I believe you need full Swedish citizenship to apply and we have another 3 years before we can get that.

[@janhjorth965]

Seems like front plow would like a couple of horisontal skids to run On, to prevent it from digging in. You can drive on an inch of remaining snow, but you really don’t want the jolt of an object coming up through that long arm to the fron of the tractor…..but…a great rig at low cost.

[@ash.pollard]

It actually has the normal pads on the bottom for that but i found they were just digging into the gravel too much. The plow is sprung and I drive pretty slow so is always folded over properly in the past if I've hit something. Next time should be smoother anyway, it's always a bit rough on the first go because this track doesn't see much traffic so the snow doesn't get squashed down in the middle.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the channel ash thanks lee

[@ash.pollard]

Thanks Lee 👍

[@Home.on.wheels]

Hi Ash great video mate keep up the great work

[@ash.pollard]

Cheers David 👍

[@Schla-Gulp]

I think that's exactly what you always wanted when you were a little kid. The fun on your face is glorious. Great that everything works so well. How much diesel does this tractor use?

[@ash.pollard]

According to my mum from about the age of 2 every tractor was "Tommy tractor" and I loved them 🤣 28 years later... its actually very efficient, even with it pissing diesel out half the time! I think because I only run it at low rpm and nor driving anything from the pto. A snow blower would probably eat the fuel.

[@garyedwards1184]

Great video again mate. When you going to use your tune what you always used. Been along time . Stay safe peaky

[@ash.pollard]

It's been too long... I'll fix that 😊 nice one 👍

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

Volume on full

[@ash.pollard]

😄👌

[@fortague]

Ahh mate, just superb ! That sound of a vintage long stroke diesel 👂! Perkins ? Three or four cylinder ? Cold here in France tonight mate minus 6 Got both log burners going ! Nothing compared to your temperature though Ash ! Keep warm mate 👍 x

[@ash.pollard]

It's a perkins 4 cylinder👌 haha sounds cozy! Current temp here is -27 🤣

[@fortague]

@@ash.pollardmad temperature there ! Can't believe it gets so cold, but I suppose it's like a hot day, after 30, it's just heat ! My friend near here has a digger with a Perkins P3 in, it sounds so nice on tickover, I've got an old open crank Fairbanks Morse engine on display in my lounge along with an Amanco and a BSA bantam ! Have a lovely Christmas guys, lots of love from Mark, Alison and Olive our spaniel near Pouancé in France x

[@aaaaheahea]

You can't plow like that, you tear up all the gravel from the road, then flatten it and then put all the gravel in the ditch, you have to raise the plows so they go over the ground easily.

[@ash.pollard]

What do you mean I can't? You just watched me do it 🤣 the track was uneven and needed to be graded anyway. The middle was 40cm higher than the sides in places. Now it's flat all the way so can raise the blades onto pads

[@aaaaheahea]

@@ash.pollard Haha I sure did, just so you know, a gravel road should be higher in the middle, almost like a pillow, because the water should drain off. We have graders out here where we live that create the shape of the road and if someone plows away the slope it costs both time and money to fix it. But you live more remote than we do, so I understand if it doesn't matter too much where you live.

[@ash.pollard]

Yea that makes sense, I notice all the roads managed by the municipality are higher in the middle. This track though gets very bad because its narrow and private. When we first came it had years of neglect and the people with a cabin at the end couldn't drive without ripping their car apart from the raised centre. The farm drives with their big machines which squeeze it up and just leave it. We get serious frost heave in the winter as well which raises it even more. Im still new to this but trying my best to keep it actually drivable😅

[@sim6699]

Did you purposely buy a British Tractor?

[@ash.pollard]

I actually didn't but its kind of cool we did 😅 engine made in Peterborough, not far from where I lived.

[@vangeezerexperience]

@@ash.pollard When i was young, growing up in Sweden (the 60's) and not far from where You are, those Nuffields were quite popular and you could find them everywhere. They weren't manufactured that many years but apparantly they are quite good.

[@grahamsfarmportugal2022]

Waste of time 🤣 he just dropped it at the end of the road. Chimney clearly wasn't that heavy. Let the quad do it's job, or maybe buy a old f250 as a plow.

[@ash.pollard]

Well he had to get up the 1/2 km track first to get here haha
