First tractor I ever drove many , many moons ago . Absolutely love the fergi 35 . Thank you for the trip down memory lane .

[@780special]

Ditto for me. Great little tractor.

[@gordonwilkinson4389]

Excellent video brings back many memories drilling and tractor hoeing sugar beet in the 1970s ..Also well explained so people from a non farming background can really understand what's going on and how it all done brilliant love you videos Gordon

[@antonyfarming]

Brilliant Dan and family 👍 Thank you for taking the time to film for us 👍👍👍👍👍

[@manfromthemist1958]

I wish I could work with my dad, unfortunately that not possible, make the most of the time you have!

[@robhardingham6770]

There are times when it is nice to have a radio to listen to in a tractor. On this occasion who needs one when you have a little engine purring away and the clink of the seeders and soil mixing it up. Nice and relaxing....

[@ianclarke4660]

Interesting and nice to see old machinery working well. Just shows you don’t need highly technical equipment if the old is looked after.

[@bobpaterson1845]

I'm sure that setup has saved you as lot of money doin what it was designed to do 👍 feel sorry for the young tractor drivers of today who have never experienced drivin a bog standard tractor with no cab 🙄 it's an experience like no other 💪 great video 👍

[@edwardconnolly8580]

Brilliant stuff dan as always great video

[@mikeclifton7778]

That offbeat three-cylinder soundtrack is a pleasure. Great video Dan as usual, I don't think I've seen a tractor tracked out that wide before, watch it doesn't kill wheel bearings! Nice day for it too!

[@CowfarmerDan]

Bearings will be OK, it only does about 4 hours a year.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video dan, nice drilling rig, waiting for that vintage Thursday combine start up.

[@justinglenn1844]

Great video Dan those old Massey Ferguson will run forever

[@JonDingle]

Great to see classics in action. Top stuff young man!

[@Mike-oo5ys]

Hello from Lincolnshire nice video 😄😄😄🤘🤘🤘

[@murraysmith6315]

Blaze is my cultivar of choice down here but we feed in situ to ewes, so no dramas with our harvesting, when it's dry... Thanks, great vlog as always 👍

[@780special]

Thank you for another fabulous video.

[@casto-]

There’s something nice listening to the plod of the old tractors. Mind you, after 16 acres at 5ft wide I’ve had enough of the tvo for this year 🤣😩🤦‍♂

[@steviechalmers1218]

Cracking video, great wee tractor ❤️👍

[@lordofhowell7158]

Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@williambowman155]

Brilliant wee video

[@graemebowyer4901]

Cracking video, really enjoyed it after a 150 mile drive to deal with a Contractor who is a pain (Construction) what I would have given to be plodding up & down on a 35 in the sunshine ?? Good drone footage, just the right amount & father looked like he was in his element. What about the sighting poles ?? getting in practise for a ploughing match ??

[@jasdunlop9907]

Who needs a radio and guidances

[@anthony342]

much better than heavy stuff ...

[@qaisarmahmood7070]

Greetings from Peshawar Pakistan. Just found your channel. Love to watch. My interests are the same as yours.

[@charleshart6992]

Great video!

[@ianhaggart1438]

Well that was music to my ears 😁. Lovely filming work. ... now this might be an odd request but could you put the old fashioned touch to one of your classic vids at some point? I love the quality videos you do but some old bw video with dubiously dodgy quality would be a trip down memory lane when it comes to TV tractor viewing that is 😊.. Great video looked like fantastic weather for it to. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johnhicks8772]

It's done the job the only electric saying he's got is the starter If you send someone to use that today they would need an understand where where it was cos he hasn't got a cab with a horrible noise blasting in their ears and it doesn't cost 150000 Thousand I used one of these in the 70s and it worked perfectly good

[@vincentkenswiel5598]

😂😂😂😂 loove the phomesound😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎👊👊👊 smart!!

[@paulthompson8467]

Class video Dan really enjoyed it you and your dad are first class at the drilling wee Massey looks and sounds great 👍

[@bencarter2334]

Who needs GPS. Your dad with a pole is probably just as accurate.

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

Lovely video. Perfect tractor for the job. Where did you manage to get the exhaust from?

[@CowfarmerDan]

It came from a trader at the Great Dorset Steam Fair a few years ago. It's well made and very heavy by the time I'd carried it a mile back to the car 😆

[@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer]

@@CowfarmerDan ahh ok cheers for that. 👌

[@b7100ripper]

Cracking video again! Lovely little MF 35, it seems to only have one fuel filter? did some of the 3 cylinder 35 only have one?

[@CowfarmerDan]

Yes, should have 2.

[@davidfisher9978]

I notice you have the Hopper Monitor latched up, that will tell you when the hoppers are getting low on seed if connected. I assume you don't use it? I used to work in the Stanhay factory when it was located in Ashford Kent I know the seed spacing drill quite well.

[@CowfarmerDan]

Yes, it's a level monitor, but we don't use it.

[@patrickaherne3598]

Sweet to see the old girl and drill in action. How much does the beet seed cost per acre or hectare?

[@CowfarmerDan]

Around £80 per acre

[@claireburton129]

great tractor are you doing more with the 35

[@CowfarmerDan]

It'll be in future videos

[@bobcrawford2105]

And how many times did you forget to turn over bout marker Yes admit I’ve forgotten in the past

[@geolograf]

Diesel?

[@CowfarmerDan]

Yes
