Time to plant.... 1970’s technology! Massey Ferguson 165

The time has come to plant some beans! I’ll be using the finest tech that 1970 has to offer. It ain’t fast, it ain’t perfect.. but it works!

Really enjoy your videos. I'm 62 and starting to farm again after 20 years. Long story, no one cares but Me. It's kinda like my Therapy. Your attitude and sense of humor are Awesome! Please keep the videos coming. God Bless 👍🇺🇸🚜😺

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Can't beat the old 165 Used to a acre an hour and a gallon of diesel

[@ktunkkari4287]

Pure nostalgy, MF 165 💪

Best way of planting

[@darinbarfield8738]

Just bought my first tractor today, 1975 MF 165… Not necessarily for farming but for yard , woods & pasture cleanup & dirt work but after seeing this - I might have to try to farm a small section of land. Love some fresh veggies. And thoroughly enjoyed your commentary.

Soda came streaming thru my nose when the "Rows were straight as Elton John".

[@mikeduffy7271]

I drew in silage for a neighbor in Ireland for a few summers with his 165. The sound brings back memories.

[@gleanerk]

I like your combination planter ! Thanks for the ride and the video, enjoyed!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

anytime bud!

[@markward6076]

Don't feel bad about your old equipment. One things for sure, at least your trying to get the job done. New equipment equals new problems that are more expensive to fix.

[@davidwhisnant3230]

I like the old school like you I have a set of 71 planters

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! They plant perfectly every year and are simple to maintain. I’ll use them forever!

[@ianhotson6057]

Just found your Channel gave me a really good laugh, you're farming the way I like it LOL, and fluffy seems like a pretty cool cat LOL

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I appreciate it, hope to get some new stuff up soon! Tough time of year for vids 😉

[@iainpaton7129]

Hi 👋friend another amazing video thanks again friend please keep the great videos coming and please stay safe friend from Scotland

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thank you! Will do!

[@jamieshields9521]

Why would anyone want brand new, technology pack with GPS? Liking old school, small field sowing, we still use our 511 International 24 row seeder in our small fields instead of 40ft airseeder with 9380 Steiger.

[@kurtjohnson3496]

Sounds like fluffy had to put a cat scan on the empty bag!😂

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

yes! she wanted to be sure I didn’t leave any behind 😉

[@prevost8686]

Fluffy has separation anxiety. Perhaps a therapist and Xanax are in order.

[@neiljanes2871]

My date to the Senior Prom was all of that and more...😜🤟

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

🤦‍♂️😄

[@massey2680]

Hey JT how are the beans doing time for an update ?

[@bradleykiepe300]

Another great video, like the Ford truck in the background when you were explaining the planter, is it a f450? The 165 looks in good shape.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

thank you! I got that tractor pretty straight several years ago, just painted it and keep it under a roof 😉. the Ford is just my everyday 150. been a good truck!

[@richardnorthern6945]

Nothing wrong with row beans

[@carrottopfarm9037]

Great channel, I have a 165 that I am fully restoring currently and plan on planting winter wheat up here in Canada to kick off my growing career (just bought the farm)… Curious, what size front tire are you running on your 165? Mine are 6.5 and I want to go with something wider like you’ve done. Thanks again for the great content.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Good for you! Starting off farming can be exciting and nerve racking, good luck with your journey. Those are 11L-15’s on that. Keeps her floating on top of about anything I come across!

[@josephmclennan1229]

Is the MF 180 a larger tractor or smaller HP I have a1966 180

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

The 180 is slighter larger. The other major difference is the 180 is a platform tractor, and the 165 is a utility, meaning it has the transmission and levers between your feet and not on the dash

[@kevo8824]

What size are your front tires on the 165?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Those are 11L15’s

[@kevo8824]

@@jtsbarnngrill6873 thank you

[@danakrzysik2671]

What brand seed did you plant?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

that was basf credenz

[@ernest6962]

Where is your newer planter

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

It’s in the shed. This vid was from a couple years ago

[@LolaBgcps]

😺 👍 😸

[@allenbeiler883]

What is the 165's top speed?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

It’ll do about 21mph if you hold the throttle open
