We Got A Bi-Directional Tractor!

[@trenton1880]

We have 2 of the reverse station New Holland TV 145s we use em in the cranberry industry for a lot of different things mowing running snow blower pumping water. They are handy tractors we also have an older 276 versatile.

[@jounilappalainen66]

Awesome cold start!! 👍

[@koenmarist7857]

The best tractor ever the bidirectional of versatile 1

[@SKC640]

It's amazing how many people don't know about this tractor and it's crazy how it didn't become more popular. I know a few farmers who have the original versatile one and a couple with the very first new Holland ones which where just painted versatile models. Everyone I have talked to has said that they are definitely their favorite tractor. A 2014 TV6070 with dual PTOs and 3pts is hand down by dream tractor with a loader ofcoarse too. With my operation I am trying to start I could almost do everything I need to with one. I don't think I would even need another tractor actually! Accept I would have another one for a back up because a guy unfortunately just can't depend on one machine. I would love to have a 2014 then a older one for a back up them both with loaders would be awesome!

[@Flyingdutchman586]

They don't pull well at all.

[@CraydenGamingOfficial]

We have a bi detectional and we don't like it it sucks way to much fuel and gives to low of horse power to the pto for what its horse power is

[@richardcleasby105]

Calf’s look really good.

[@simonrettinger1366]

This Bi-Directional tractor looks like a TM series.

[@alexdesrochers452]

Simon Rettinger it tm hood i think 🤔

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Diesel crack/either: down here in Texas it seems like once you start using it whatever you use it on gets addicted for life. Even when it's warm/hot out. Up where you are you're limited and seem to have no option but to use it. But we don't see any days even approaching low teens and below.... Already mowing grass and planting maters and such here.

[@organicpaulguy]

Yes using either is pretty much a thing up here on and off from November until April. Except the tractors that have glow plugs in them.We usually try and plug the block heaters so we don’t have to use either much.

[@jeremysmits9784]

amos snow a mechanic once told me that either is just liquid damage for engines

[@jwiereng]

ether

[@socalgordo20]

Dude I work mowing the roads with one these tv145 . Bad ass machine . But it does throw you off backing up on them And it always looks like you driving it backwards . I’m up load a video soon of me using it .

[@billamsberry7976]

Peterson farm bros have one they mow hay with it have a 2 mower system on it

Thanks! 👍😎

Just got here from ol' straight pipe acres lol.

[@haydenwest1422]

We’ve got one of those too

[@ethanringelberg9771]

Is it from Peterson farm bros?

[@heartland96a]

Glad you put the doorback on. , no need to get all that feed and dirt on you ..

[@alanlanghorn7393]

Hope you tractor is still under warranty for it he computer replaced or won’t be cheap to fix good luck

[@MrHAVOCK77]

Those head lights will come on when you turn seat around

[@farmingnodak]

A guy I talked to who had a haybine head for his bi tractor said they are nice machines, but he said they are really good for a couple things and that's about it. I think you'd be better off with a regular loader tractor instead, or rather get a smaller payloader instead... something to think about for the future. I think with the new self-propelled machines the past 15 years having so much higher HP now is probably why the bidirectionals are not as popular anymore.

[@organicpaulguy]

I still prefer our other loader over the bi-directional. Yes there are things I like about it but not enough things I like to justify buying it.

[@edcrego396]

How do you know if your coming or going??

[@kristianskov4841]

By the smell......🤣

[@SouthSaskFarmer1]

I've got a real love hate relationship with them lol

Cool Paul. South Sask Farmer is watching you🤘🤘🤘

[@SouthSaskFarmer1]

@@dizbob6250 I watch everyone i think is cool lol

[@daleolson3506]

Either is terrible for engines. It fires in the cylinder way too early and is expanding causing the cylinder pressure to be high,then the injector fires and the cylinder pressure gets way too high. Breaking rings,pistons,head gaskets,bending rods or wiping out bearings. Lots of times the damage doesn't show up until much later.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Not many Bi directional tractors about over here 🤔 think perhaps it's use be limited an ur better off with your own loader 👍👍

[@xSCHEF]

Bob Paterson over here in Europe there’s loads of Valtra, Deutz, Fendt and Claas Xerion tractors with rotating cabs. Particularly the Deutz ones are seriously impressive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epaWdKFratajoNE

[@autocat9371]

now that was a cold start video

[@MFKR696]

What good is a front PTO when there's no 3-point to support it? Without that, it might as well not have a front PTO at all. Also, you'll find out rather quickly over the course of operating that thing that counter-weights are a must, and since there's no 3-point at the front, you can't do that either. Weighted wheels alone aren't enough, especially when they're on a swiveling front axle. That kind of "un-sprung" weight on the front axle is also gonna beat the hell out of your tie-rods to boot. That's why you don't see many non-articulated tractors that have weighted wheels at the front. It's really not worth the headache.

[@jmdickie1]

Drawbar pto combo comes to mind off hand ie. discbine, baler, generator. Should be a decent amount of counterweight at the front with the motor and front wheel weights and having the loader hanging off of the opposite axle puts the fulcrum directly over the rear axle.

[@3069mark]

Hey Paul. Is the tractor that needs the new computer still under warranty? Hope so or else that is going to cost you a chunk of change. But not as bad as John Deere would nail you. Also, you referred to that loaner tractor as being articulated, but does that loaner tractor bend in middle? It doesn't look like it does to me, and I always thought that for a tractor to be articulated it had to bend in the middle. But as for me I prefer your old loader tractor over the loaner tractor. Good luck, Paul!

[@organicpaulguy]

Hi Mark. I don’t for sure if it’s still under warranty yet. I kind of doubt but we’ll find out soon enough. Yes it articulates in the middle. There are things I like about it but there are things I don’t like about it either.

[@knowltek]

Hahaha like operating a ole huff loader from my child hood...yeah thoes sucked too...thoes old skool tools need to die..js...new subscriber your on top of your farm..carry on farm n

[@rickwoodvine.7529]

MORNING PAUL , DO YOU OPEN THE END DOORS ON THE MILK BARN When IT GETS WARM . ROOSTER J ACERS MIDDLETOWN CA

[@organicpaulguy]

Yes we do open the doors on the barn when it warms up.

[@makingithappen9722]

2019 was not a good year. Let us hope for a better 2020.

[@antonyfarming]

Great video is the computer covered under warranty or you gotta pay? That reverse drive one looks a handy bit of kit 👍 maybe you could think about a loader on the other new holland it's always handy to have two loader tractors if one breaks or if you go off doing something your brother can still have one as well 👍 👍

[@organicpaulguy]

Not sure if it’s covered under warranty.

[@teamstromski]

we run 3 of them and once you get use to them you cant beat them in the hayfield. the visibility and flexability is awesome. you will love it till you get a hyd hose rubbed through and you have to work on it. ive never seen such a piss poor design for hose routing.

[@BigRig965]

we had that happen and the neutral switch likes to go out on them.

[@hankelrod7315]

Are you the guy from MN who bought my Versatile 160? If so I want it back:)

Do you want to buy another? I have one with 950 hours!

They are nice but I don’t like hydrostatic part about them.

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Why don't you buy a used loader for the other NH tractor. Then you would have a spare

[@organicpaulguy]

Yes that would be nice to have a spare loader tractor. Maybe someday we’ll find one for a good reasonable price.
