THE DAY OF THE BENDY TRACTORS!!!!

I have been looking forward to this day all year and at one point I thought we would not make it as the tractor kept throwing curve balls. But with a lot of hard work we managed to get the tractor into a condition that we could drive it and participate in the working day. 16 bendy tractors all working in a field at once, what a sight!!!!

[@casto-]

Looked a cracking day 👌👍 lovely line up across the field as well

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Casto👍 Great line up of restored and non-restored tractors.

Mighty video Lovely to see and hear all off them out . That’s some show off 1200 s Each one of them looking fabulous dressed up and also in their working clothes.👍 Nice to to see some with dual wheels, changes the look off them and their stance great. I haven’t got one yet but hopefully keep dropping more hints 😂 Probably end up getting one myself. That big yoke that you could always hear in the background V8 Was she a Perkins V8 or the Detroit V8 Anyway a great show and a big had to everyone that had many a sleepless night and head scratching. And also for a fantastic cause, one that we and my daughter especially knows about from the age off 2 1/2 months old,who overcame the impossible and is now 21 years old. Well done fellas 👍

[@78mikehayes]

The big 4840 has a cummins V8 in it and it makes a fair grumble when you're close to it.

[@philipmcnabb7312]

@@78mikehayes Thanks I’d say so We’ve built a tractor with a Perkins V8 Turbo Perkins 640 Came out of a fire engine She has a good growl But also a big iveco lorry diesel tank But that MF sounds like music 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Philip. Yes nice to see some in their work clothes with all the history that goes with it.

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Super video Cathal. The drone shots are excellent. Looks like you all had a great weekend. All for a super cause. Well done everyone 👏👏

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Cheers Alan, my Bro is the man for the drone, I can fly many things but a drone is not one of them lol. It was a great day indeed and as you say for a super cause. Well done to all involved indeed.👍👍

[@david-g8l6i]

good to all the tractors working👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Cheers David, great to see so many 1200s/1250s in one place.👍👍

[@KennyHanna15]

Great video Cathal. Looked a great day and for a great cause. 1200s looking well 👌👌

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Kenny, it was a great day and a great cause.👍 Great to see so many 1200s/1250s in the same place.

[@stephenmeehan9961]

Great video and after all the effort yous had to get the 1200 ready it was great to see yous have a good day and certainly not a sight that most people will ever witness of such a group of attic Masseys working in the one field.... Glad you gave Massey Dave a mention as he along with his videos are keeping so many of these tractors going and him and Massey Penny made the trip over to be part of the team on the day... Glad your Dad was there too after all his handy work on the restoration work....

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Stephen. I think it's a combination of Alexander farm Services, my Father and Massey Dave. They all helped make it work, especially the mechanics who probably put the most time into it. Great effort by all for a great day.

[@barrymallon9373]

Great vid cathal. Great to c all them 1200s. !!!!!

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Barry, was some sight all them bendy tractors in one place.

Very enjoyable day.👍👍

[@nickhill3362]

That was brilliant thanks 👍 I set off at 8 am and got back at 4 pm on a tractor run with my 1250 today so this vid finished my day perfectly cheers 🍻

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Nice one Nick, I have to say the plane is easier to control than the 1200 on the road..and less noisey lol. That was some tractor run you had.👍👍

[@nickhill3362]

@@FlyingFergyManour local power station owned my 1250 from new it's only got 2300 hrs on it so steering is still tight and not to bad and gearbox is tight and not to whiney plus 1250 has more sound proofing I could talk to my mates on the CB at full throttle on the road so not bad at all it's booked in at newark tractor show that is a big show in the uk and I will drive it there it will be a 50 mile round trip but I no what your saying as I owned a1200 in the 80's that had done loads of work and it was noisey and wondered about 👍

Your ploughing showed up well on the drone shots Eamon 😂

Cheers Eamon, and thanks for the ploughing lesson..glad the drone was not about for that bit of bulldozing LOL. Although I am still blaming Mr Hayes for the "straight lines"😂

[@eamondempsey3018]

​@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery Cheers Alan, yea they worked well together. Never ploughed with the 1200 before and never ploughed with that plough either. Not bad for a 50 year old tractor, 46 year old plough and 40 something year old driver....😂
