  • This footage features a Ford 9700 lifting grass with a New Holland 550 trailed harvester. This was taken during summer 1991 where the harvester was a demonstrator model out of Kennedy's in Ballymena, County Antrim. Some real mix of gear carting in including a Fiat 780DT, Marshall 802, David Brown 1490 and a John Deere 2130 in the distance. This has been one of our favourite finds so far - what a fleet! This gear was used by J Millar & Son contractors back in the day in the Braid Valley, County Antrim.

    Jack's 97 was legendary. Maby one of the largest machines in the Braid back then. Great footage and sound.

      Most 97 were two wheel drive, I drove one harvesting with a potting harvester in the 90s on contract it was very reliable.

      Glad you enjoyed. We can't take credit for the filming as it wasn't us but certainly is impressive - no image stabilisation back then! We just do the work to capture, digitise and restore it. More good stuff to come!

    As someone who never had anything to do with chopping grass, is it possible to have the trailers collecting on the right of the chopper ? I’m just thinking of the chopper drivers neck and how he would see the spout better that way.

    • @OldSchoolNI
      @OldSchoolNI  4 месяца назад +1

      Aye that's a good point and I think some of the newer models were built that way. Definitely hard on the neck otherwise!
