Unloading Jamie's FORD FW60 ARTIC at Field of Friends

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

Before modern tractors started to use mobile data connection the old Ford TW's used smoke signals to call service work shop! LOL

[@farmerfuller87]

After meeting george and liz at the day I can say he is a jolly giant and down to earth and liz is as kind as she is on her videos keep it up. !!

[@neilporter3286]

That FW60 is a beautifully restored tractor.

[@jackhume4532]

Hi George, I thought that your Ford TW 25 was big but that articulated FordTW 60 is huge and if my memory serves me correctly I saw one of those working in a field between Down ampney and poulton in Gloucestershire back in 1989 and it just made the field that it was working in seem very small and I cannot wait to see part TWO.

[@stuartsmith7618]

That's the best FW 60 I've seen in a long time..... I miss my old one the sound of that engine 😍😍😍😍😍

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

Super stuff George , as always , thanks 👍👍👍

[@SEPK09]

FW looks mint. Impressive the weight its pulling damn.!

[@patkelly7999]

Fantastico George, that is one savage ball of a tractor, a lovely machine:):)

[@kevboy1657]

Awesome video George! Pure nostalgia...I’d love to have your job 😍

[@cibie01]

That shore is a credit to the owner and sounds amazing even idling along cant wait to hear her getting stuck in.

[@jimclements3190]

Nice to hear a 903 grumbling away,it's a long time since I drove a tractor with one of them glorious V8s in (4880) ahh memories 😏👍💪

[@Massey-man]

Bigfoot by any chance ? Are you a relative of Granvillle ?

[@jimclements3190]

Yes mate he is my Dad!

[@Massey-man]

Lovely people your dad, and mum. He had an 1135 in the 70’s, that’s how I got to now him as I have one in the shed at home.

[@jimclements3190]

Thank you for that Simon, I know all about you mate they speak very highly of you.I did drive "his" 1135 and remember it being pretty awesome with its Opico duels and MF pressure control coupler. Gaga farms ran 3 4840s including Bigfoot and 1 4880 which I shift drove busting pealand up.I am 61 now by the way and happily retired, once again ta for the nice comment 👍😎

[@Massey-man]

Keep watching for part two to this video, I’ll be on the 4840. Or look on here at last years event ‘old school grunt and plenty of it’. Take care all of you and keep safe.

[@ianleak]

Best tractor I have ever had to drive we had it 5 years brilliant

[@Perfect5Recurve]

Fantastic FW06. That Morooka MK160-S is pretty cool, don't know that I've ever seen something like that state side. If anyone did something like that, it was probably Caterpillar. Would love to hear that yellow Leyland run. My friend had an open station tractor like that in blue, unfortunately when I met him it had already blown up for the second time and I never saw it running.

[@SAB_Agri]

Great Well be looking forward to seeing her working 😉👍

[@MB2340]

What a beautiful beast.

Awesome machine that FW I recon you need one of them too.

[@tomwe11ings]

Great video, looks a good day 👌

[@ThomasAnderson-uw5pk]

Will look forward to seeing that beast working

[@JonDingle]

A bit big for a scraper tractor but it could pump the slurry instead!

[@farmerstephen]

FW60 is looking fantastic. Had a fair bit spent on it I reckon!!

[@svengranzow3702]

Hallo George Nice Film with Ford fw60 case 1455 and the vorher youngtimer. The second Part wehre intresting

[@johnmobbs1675]

Wow another beautiful beast, thanks for posting 👍, is that a 6 or 8 metre cultivator? 🤔

[@buckhorncortez]

Made by Steiger for Ford with a Cummins 903 cubic inch V8. TW series was discontinued in 1982.

[@DJC995]

Hi George That Morok ? crawler is a rare thing the FW looks Good Thank's

[@matthewhayes7765]

Just thought the same thing my self when I saw the thumbnail. Wonder where that going too

[@bradleykirk3206]

There’s several around in Lincolnshire there is a dealer of them just uo the road from me

[@billupstateny9151]

Enjoyable content,

[@johnlemmey7698]

How did that Ford-Waltarna end up in England ?

[@tandemwings4733]

No. That's a Steiger-Ford. Built in Fargo, North Dakota, USA. Waltanna was a different look - bigger & boxier.

[@Joey0353]

I like Case tractors very much, the 1455 XL at 0:40 is a legend.

[@mrclucker1969]

DO you reckon an injector refresh would stop the smoke on the FW60? Sound happy enough and only looks like unburnt fuel.

[@paulfreeman2259]

It’s a new engine mate hardly done 200h

[@farmtech8976]

Gotta love armchair mechanics

[@trackmarshall105]

It’s just cold It clears up soon at it’s got some temperature in the bores.It’s a Cummins 903 thing 😊

[@izalman]

@@trackmarshall105 Agreed... needs to pull a serious load for a few days.. settle the rings into the bore walls, injector working some fuel and the turbo spooling up properly...

[@richiefearn4214]

[@nikolaiploug5519]

Think of the trees and the nature.... that poluting bastard 😂😂😂

[@peanutsmith1462]

Good old American Muscle

[@colincampbell3679]

Blimey a old Diesel Tractor Museum! Roll on full electric non-noisy non-polluting Tractors.. Where you can recharge them at the farm with solar and wind. No more pricey over taxed Fossil fuel woes. excess electricity can be sold for a huge profit when the grid needs it on peek, Clean , Efficient, powerful, instant Toque. No worries over expensive maintenance either. just the job.

[@tandemwings4733]

That's quite a fertile imagination you have there..!!!

Hi George. A am your fan form Poland. Great video. Greatings for you.

[@andykeeble1]

The Cooperative farm in Leicestershire ran one of these back in the 1980's. As I remember it was totally useless on stubble cultivation if there had been any rain!

[@ginggur17]

Oh mate, the sounds! Bloody heaven with those FW’s alone. Damn I wish I’d have known. Even the FH had twin stacks! Ya gotta get an FW George.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, Good to see the Ford FW 60 in as new paint and still running sweetly Thanks

[@ginggur17]

I didn’t even know this was on, I’d have been there like a shot! Looked brilliant.

[@Paul-vd2sp]

Dam missed it!!! I thought it would have been cancelled due to Covid.

[@steezy_p]

That old 60 is chucking smoke, just the way I like it.

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Always love seeing some old tractors running 🤙🤙🤙

[@izalman]

Love it... the only lap top needed for those sort of machines is a dog whilst you're driving it..

George, please give some vid time about the little crusty tractor that was on the trailer with that hulking FORD. Cheers from🇺🇸👍✌️🐾

Great looking and sounding bit of kit that. Those big articulated machines always look a bit tippy on singles though duals would make I too wide to be practical of course.

WHAT...take that distinctive Cummins ROAR and turn it into something that sounds just like Kermit - NO WAY! I have friends that're big JD fans and I jazz them by asking how their 'Kermit' tractors are doing...you know...Kermit the Frog is the same color.

[@ross6343]

@@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759 TOTALLY, indeed! Me thinks that Cummins exhaust would belch a TON of Kermit's straightening itself out to get back to normal. Do you know that 'frogs' make good fertilizer - they're akin to fish...well...that's what I tell my friends with JD's. ;)))))))

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

@@ross6343 The best with JD's is that they are not longer visible in springtime when the real nature is as prettiest! LOL And thank you for the new word for them. I'm appreciating not to take the (JD-) word in my mouth, similar to frogs! Haha

[@ross6343]

@@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759 My one JD buddy knows when I walk in his shop because I'm saying 'ribbit...ribbit...ribbit...ribbit. Funny story this - my buddy was riding along with me one day and a JD 9RX was going the other way and my buddy was all excited. I began chanting 'ribbit' and after a moment or three my buddy asked me why I was saying ribbit. That's when I told him I called JD tractors 'Kermit' tractors because of their color. To say he wasn't impressed is an understatement. Anyhoo...we're still friends...distant that is.

Were those FW60´s always painted in white and blue? I remember seeing some of those that were blue only - however I don´t know if those were repainted or maybe just different production year?
