We don't need quality control because the assembly staff inspect their own work (paraphrasing) What could possibly go wrong?? 🙃

Were all great at putting done what was made in Britain now we have nothing well done farmers buy foreign dont look after what was ours

Sure footed as a mountain goat jimmy. never change

Corruption on a large scale the actual story of this is very similar to Delorean escapade!

And told the Police he had a licence when he got pulled over in it when he hadn't !😂

Hi, I'd like to use your video in a video about the history of Dilhorne, could you contact me please?

Did he have nits? 😂

This is my auntie and uncle!!! I remember watching this broadcast at my grandmother's house in about 89 or 90. ❤

Allways loved the track marshall 135 and 155

No wonder they didn't last long built by jock scum

Well done for documenting this list bit of Dilhorne history

3/45 nuffield. 10/60. 384,270,272 285/2100.

Cool video!! 👍🇬🇧

I wonder how "know it all" Nickerson was to work for lol

Wow great video. I've always been a fan of the Marshall tractors and it's always great to see inside any tractor factory.

Big deal!

Whats the beef..

Done a Wikipedia for Charles Nickerson can’t find nothing for him it’s like he vanished into tin air.

A foolish man £11.25 of debts busted !!

The firm went bust in 1985 with debts of £11.25 mn, so no it couldn’t be done !!

What did he say?

Bloody hell, even Hopkins' eyebrows were raised 😂

Ken Morley, shut up! Yoire in the company of an African American who knows damn what racism is, which you certainly are - pipe down child!!

They made it when they got one onto emmerdale farm lol

Fantastic, thanks for this. We had a Track Marshall on our farm which pulled the dowdeswell 6 furrow. Nice to see this.

i love pretty women and david brown tractors

i want to see more david brown tractor videos

We had Leyland and Marshall tractors on our farm, eighty two and one ten hp, and they were excellent work horses with a noise you never forget

It's easy to look back with hindsight....or scoff ...but fair play to the man...having the vision and the balls to out and give it a go....well done..... if slightly more folk were of a similar mindset and there were less businesses run by penny touching accountants we may have a far better manufacturing base in the uk

Honest capable management instill that sense of fairness that breeds team work. Something quite revolutionary back in the day.

Really sad that Leyland went...so much so if I had the chance and the money I would bring it back...

They were working on 60s technology for too long , synchro gearboxes came too late ,100 hp 6 cyl engins matched to 65 hp Nuffield gearboxes etc ,dry brakes etc and horrific union probs in the 70s with BL too many chiefs and not enough Indians

Yet here we are today buying cheap imports from india and eles where yet we could bot support wat we had shameful

Best tractor boy far at that was same and English and Irish people were afraid to buy them

Unfortunately completely outdated by this time. Compare with the likes of Fendt or Renault Agro (now Claas) these tractors were Stone Age technology. The factory itself looks like an old workshop

Great piece of British tractor history! Regards from Australia.

I

oh workout the propaganda and job worshiping propaganda oh everything that we're asking you to do is for the health of the company which is going to help you in the future blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!! that way your children can grow up and basically work the same shift job for more than likely less pay because inflation is going to grow ever higher and then of course the cost of living is going to shoot straight up all the while they're paying the same utility bills that their ancestors paid yet real bright future just repeating the same b******* generation after generation the world over!!

Where is this place Dill Horn he speaks about? Haha!

And by 2008 the whole factory was converted to another retail park. I worked for the main contractor on that job. What a shame it sells retail tat today instead of still making tractors.

Jimmy cowman !! What a dumb ass .....get a David brown , did cliff milner no harm 🤔

British engineering takes a back seat to nobody!

Mr. Nickerson is an amazing man!

Wonderful to see some proper tractors and good traditional farming of the 1970s and 80s

What became of the company?

They were producing this stuff at the same time as the 90 series.. All they had to do was buy one and copy it.. But no, head in the sand and they let the customers decide. They did. They quit buying junk. I was selling an 802 that I gave 2200 for thirty years ago. I had replaced the engine once and the clutch four times in a year. The tractor stood me 5500. After about 100 spent on auto trader to try to get rid of it. I ended up taking 120 a tonne for it. The two nearly new goodyear radials on the back of it were worth more than the tractor.. Pure scrap

So many good things lost. Here’s a list that I can think of. David brown Leyland Marshall Fiatagri Poclain International Hymac Richier Real fords

Same story asset stripped all over the UK..... This country needs to start manufacturing again.

I worked at MF in Coventry for 34 years, it closed with full order books, why well the American owners ADCO just assist stripped the factory, now this was a shame!

I had four of them. Pure junk. Dropped liners, and clutch breaking fingers.. Can't split them, so you have to pull the dash and the steering and the floor outta the cab.. Torture..
