    Great video. Sends me back to early 80`s when I helped a neighbor who bought a brand new 4840. I was the first person to do fall tillage as our neighbor was behind on combining. So dad helped with our combine and I drove his 4840 with a chisel plow. We had a Versatile 935 but I liked driving the Massy... probably because it was new.

      Thank you for watching. I am always looking for Massey Ferguson’s. They are harder to find. I filmed this one 50 miles from my house on the 4th of July and was late to a family cook out to get it filmed on the last field of the year. I hope to get a Massey 1805 filmed this year. My top priority on my filming wish list is to find a 2775 and 2805 to feature.

      They built the high horse power tractors there through 1982. Other big tractors included the 2805, 2775, 2405 etc…. The 4wds moved to Canada and a new range was released from the Massey factory in France for 1983.

    There used to be a few of the 4wd Massey's in the area of North MS that my step father and his family farm, from the older 1800s up to the 4900. He's the only one left running Massey Ferguson tractors now, an 1100 that gets run almost every day and an 1130 that has become the backup loader tractor. I take the 1130 to some local tractor shows and plow days in the spring and fall when I can.

    Still running an 1805 MF, 1976 vintage, with 3208 Cat, 210 hp. Use it for digging primarily, 30 foot cultivator. This is on a small farm, Red River Valley. It isn't pretty, just basic... but it gets the job done. Check out JT's Barn & Grill.... he is still running an 1805 also. Nice looking tractor!

    When i was a kid back in SW Scotland i remember being in awe when our silage contractor showed up with his first MF articulated chopper tractor, think it was a 1200, seemed huge to me, then i think he traded up into the 2400 range, but by then he was running a Claas Jaguar pull type chopper with the engine on the drawbar. Never saw a 4000 series till i came to Canada

      A 30 foot no-till great plains drill like the one we have, the one in this video, weighs 22,000 pounds... empty. And we have a lot of hill ground too, I doubt any 100 horsepower tractor can pull it, our 200 horsepower 8950 Valtra can only handle it on fairly good level ground. A large 4wd articulated tractor is just right for this drill.

    • @davidlogel2350
      @davidlogel2350 Год назад +1

      There is power loss through the drivetrain. Just like the the advertised horsepower number your personal vehicle has is it’s engine horsepower, the number it would make at the wheels is significantly less. A lot of higher horsepower FWA’s and 4wd’s are electronically limited to a certain horsepower because often what the tractor is capable of making at the pto is not necessarily needed.

      Tractors oddly did not come with many lights until the 1990’s and more so in the 2000’s. Head lights were fairly new in the lates 70’s. Most tractors previously just had fender lights.
