A time when most farms were self sufficient machinery wise and a breakdown meant a broken fan belt or failed bearing, happy days I am glad I lived through them, note the tractor driver with the ear defenders, never owned a set of them 😂

The first weather cabs were horrendous when it came to noise, they had no safety frame in them either and not easy to enter and exit. The deaths by crushing in an overturn were many.

Who remembers ‘buckrake knee’? When you had done ten hours on the pit pushing up 4 ton trailer loads of grass on a 135 and your knee looked like a melon with swelling?

Nice footage, I know farming has come on but if you compare the price of farm machinery then to now, it would be scary self propelled harvesters, huge hp tractors towing massive trailers. Diesel ⛽️.

It’s interesting to compare. What there has been is a big depopulation of people working on farms. Although you can’t halt technological change, what’s actually happened is that instead of the cash earned from farming going into the local economy, it’s increasingly gone to big ag- multi national machinery manufacturers, grain merchants and chemical companies and most of the local businesses either bought out or gone

@@charlespaynter8987 indeed Charles totally agree, I think prior to Brexit in the UK there was a certain amount of subsidies available and there still is some grants it would appear if a farmer was to apply . Not sure where farming is heading and if the UK Government has any interest whatsoever in Farming?

Yep. I remember in the late 70s as part of a silage contracting outfit carting silage for 49 consecutive days, each day 10 to 15 hours except the Sundays which were 6 to 8 hours. My young knees were sore from continous mounting and dismounting the tractor as the back of each trailer had to be opened and closed manually.

What year was this?
@dellhell8842

It's the early 1970s. The flexi cabs on the newest Massey Fergusons shown were fitted to the 1970 and 1971 models, and possibly for some years after that. Safety cabs had just become mandatory in 1970. The frames of the MF cab were made by Sankey and the flexible cladding by Sirocco. The New Holland Clayson combine shown appears to be relatively new and to be either one of the M series (M122, M133, M135 or M140) manufactured in the late 1960s to 1971 or possibly the New Holland 1500 series (1520, 1530, 1540 or 1545) manufactured from 1971 to 1980. If I had to guess a year, I'd say 1972.

What was pulling the Fox forager 178
@dellhell8842
Ай бұрын
@aidanquinn5498 Any 178 I ever saw had the heavy cast PAVT centre on the rear wheels and the Massey with the Flexi cab on the Fox forager at 0:05 doesn't have that. It could be a 185 which replaced the 178 in 1971. I drove one of them as a young lad and it had steel wheel centres like the tractor shown. PAVT may have been an option on them though. Later on in the video, at 2:32, an older pre-safety cab Massey with a Lambourn canvas cab is shown on the forager. That has what looks like PAVT wheels and could be a 178 or even it's predecessor a 175 which also had PAVT rear wheel centres. The tractor shown though doesn't have the matching weighted front wheels that came with the PAVT on the rear. It's definitely not the Massey with Lambourn cab on the pit at 4:35 which with the left hand exhaust is a MK1 165.

Hi Dell thank you for replying, yes you are correct probably 185 at the beginning, I was wondering about the one with the Lamborn cab which would be a 178 the head lights were also a give away, spent many a day on these tractors, very hilly ground good times.
