TWO TRACTORS WENT ON FIRE | SERIOUS TRACTOR PROBLEMS #CRAWFORDFARMS #046

Today was an expensive day, 2 tractors had major breakdowns while carting gravel. Cows treated for fluke and shed update
My name is Crawford and I’m a farmer.
Being a farmer is more than a job; it’s a way of life. The good days can involve bringing new life onto the farm or sunny days outdoors whilst on others it's dealing with machinery breakdowns and on the worst days, sometimes animal deaths.
Farming can be isolating at times - away from the busy streets and city life - so this platform brings you closer to the inner workings showing the highs and lows and everything in between.
I hope to bring some context to how the food ends up on your plate, from your Sunday roasts to morning porridge and even the tulips on your kitchen table. Hopefully a bit of agricultural education along the way.
This video captures the latest goings on including crop management and our efforts to increase sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

I was watching someone's channel talking tractors, which is the best? Their reply was What is the local agent like?. Which is sort of true until you end up with a model that has a common recurring fault.

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

NH is the most local and service is good cant complain at that. All colours break down but feels more regular than it really should be/could be. Wont be changing in the near future anyways

[@jimmydickson8854]

Back to the drawing board for the engineers to solve these problems

[@shepherdewan]

Those sheep are good girls and boys cute sheep

[@dude1624]

New Massey seem good . They stepped up their game but all the colours break down at some point

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Heard good things! Yeh would like to try others too, good excuse 👀

[@shepherdewan]

Do you have video of the sheep getting sheared

[@brianovington]

Your right it's poor on behalf of nh. That's a well known problem for 10 years

[@ajb542]

Plenty problems with those Portaloo tractors! Time for a trial of something else?

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Won’t be buying anything this year but might trial a few for next year! What would you have?

[@ajb542]

@@CrawfordsFarm1 all weights up to the price and local dealership! Driven plenty Massey’s over the years, very comfortable for a days work. John Deere’s much the same. NH’s I found to be rough and sore on the back. Class have JD engines and look the part maybe worth a look ?

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

All 3 worth a demo and dealerships all near the farm, have to convince the old man too 👀

[@ajb542]

@@CrawfordsFarm1 the recent mechanical bills might help 👍🏼

[@jameshopkins9097]

Valtra or claas

[@johnreid4142]

[@claymonsterpottery]

I know nothing about tractors but there are the John Deer fans and skeptics, so my question is why do some people dislike John Deers tractors?

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

No idea

[@andrewpeock7644]

Demo what works for being practical.

[@CrawfordsFarm1]
