Tractors out, fields rolled, shed wired and the 168 returns, its all happening today!

With the recent good weather we have been able to get back onto the fields for the first time in many months, the shed is being wired so all the tractors have to be moved out, we get stuck into a bit of rolling and the 168 returns back after being away for years!!!

Another great video. Definitely an impressive lineup when you see them all sitting out in the field like that. The 1200 will be the pride of the fleet when she gets her coat of paint 👌👌

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks lad, hopefully get a bit more done to the 1200 over the next few weeks.🤞

[@user-pi8ic8tg6i]

I’ve said before but thankyou for caring for these beautiful tractors from a simpler era when there was a skill in tractor driving no gps on a 168 !

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks.

[@crimsonsunshine264]

That 390T looks a minter, grand tractor to spend a day rolling on the engines are sweet as a nut to listen to. A hi line as well so good seeing .Good video Cathal what grand countryside and views you have there. It doesn’t get much better than this what an office

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks, 390T is a great handy wee bus for sure. 😎👍

[@gerrywray42]

Lovely video Cathal. Nice to hear and see the old country, as I've lived in California for 20 years and have family in the glens who I visit frequently. Keep up the good work.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Gerry👍👍

[@abbiejones1843]

[@FlyingFergyMan]

[@user-pi8ic8tg6i]

Massey paradise what a sight!

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks 👍😎

[@user-pi8ic8tg6i]

290 does it for me! Prober tractor for me! We had had a new one at duchy collage in Cornwall when I was at agricultural college in the the 80s always loved the look of them . Great tractors I will all always have great memories of them!

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Great old tractor in their day, basic and simple. Mine needs a bit of a tidy up but we will get there some day. 😀

[@paulcogan2012]

Great video Cathal. I have a few old timers too, there is always something wrong with most of them😢 If it's not flat batteries, it's punctures, oil leaks, oil pressure issues or fuel in oil. It's a vocation ❤

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Paul, thats the price you pay for the joys of having these old girls.😁😎👍

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Super video again Cathal. Great to see the tractors out on the land. You had some serious view for your day rolling. I assume that's Scotland You can see in the distance? Weather and days like that can really lift the spirits. PS. I hope all those tractors have good handbrake's on your hilly land 😂

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Alan. Yes thats the Mull of Kintyre. Good brakes, handbrakes and a change of underwear is needed on our fields. 😂

[@MasseyDave]

Nice line up 👍great to see and the ☀️👍👍👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Cheers Dave.😊

[@Gearoid35]

Nice video Cathal, everything looks better when weather is dry, we have a saying here in West Cork that stones grow over the winter. Fleet looking great.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Gearoid, you are right about the stones growing, the frost sends them up! 👍

[@paulthompson8467]

Good video the co Antrim coast is breathtaking on a beautiful day like that your 168 is quite tidy there's not many of them about

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Paul. As u say lovely on a good day. Nit so much fun when horizontal rain is coming in off the sea.😊

[@Nialll87]

Classic Tractor need to come pay you a visit unless they have dropped by already! 😉

[@FlyingFergyMan]

No Classic Tractor Niall, just needed them out of the shed to get the wiring done. 👍

[@Nialll87]

@FlyingFergyMan very impressive all the same, lovely kit 👌 we are red also in Ireland but more IH than Massey!

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Drove an old 884 years ago, took me a while to get used to the gears on the other side

[@barrymallon9373]

Great vid today. Great to c the line of red!!!!!

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Barry 👍😎

[@shutterspeedireland1148]

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Will have to get u over with the drone, D doing well. 😎

[@user-ke8nz7if4m]

great video cathal likewise my first lone tractor work was rolling as well tractors all looking great.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks👍

[@casto-]

A cracking place you live but bet it’s hellish when the weather is bad😬. I tried rolling this week but the wet spots were proper wet😩🤦‍♂

[@FlyingFergyMan]

You said it Casto, stunning in a good day but when the horizontal rain is coming off the sea, 😮 not so nice.

[@casto-]

@@FlyingFergyMan 😆I know the feeling… horses, rain and clay on the land and a big country house

[@philipjmcloughlin5880]

Great video Cathal nice 168 my first tractor was a 168 good tractors

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Philip. Very capable tractor in its day. Not many about now sadly.😊

[@williambowman7589]

Another great video 😊

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks William. 👍

[@calumanderson5617]

I think the reason why the sun is out and drying is because of the lovely Massey's are out, and the reason why it's not raining.... YET!!!! Because the young Bambi got beaten by an old International 956XL on the spreader yesterday, lovely sound it made...😊

[@FlyingFergyMan]

956XL 💪💪

[@calumanderson5617]

Yesss.....😁😊👍

[@stephennesbitt8337]

Another great video as always, rolling is my favourite job also ever year although sadly none done this year as ground doesn't let you and the grass is well on now so hopefully the mower doesn't pick any stones up, nice to see a bit of sunshine for a change. Hope you dont mind me saying but watching you and your brother and trying to park the 35 in the trailer was painful.. either put stones down as a ramp in or maybe turn the container around so you can reverse in with little step and drive out. All on now for safety on the farm as accidents happen so easily.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Stephen, yes agreed safety first. We cant move the container as the ground is too wet, its going back down to the farm soon as space is available. A stone ramp would probably have been the best option, just keep the tractor there to stop it blowing away.

[@JACK11168]

Great video

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Jack.👍

[@BackyardMechCon]

He was all out to get the tractor in the container 😅. Would it of gone in backwards? Pretty dodgy without a roll bar... 😅

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Not a mission of it going in backwards. Yes probably not the best way to put it in the container. Needs its roll bar on for farming work never mind dodgey parking. 😁

[@user-pi8ic8tg6i]

Bet your neighbours thought you were having a farm sale !

[@FlyingFergyMan]

They actually did, and phone up to see if we were selling the tractors. 😃

[@stephenmurray2993]

What part of the country are you living in the views are unreal along the coast

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Antrim Coast Stephen.😎

[@joeinglis132]

Are the rollers full off water then

[@FlyingFergyMan]

They are Joe, or at least they should be.

[@joeinglis132]

The last time I roll grass it was just a 10 foot roller and it was fill rite up to the top
