My favourite tractor ever since having a ride on one in 1979 a county 1124 force. A memorable moment for sure. Back when we made cool things to be proud of.❤😀
Thanks for this Great Vid, I use to work at County's, I fitted Cabs, Dozers, Winches, Air Tanks, We also fitted some Cabs that could be adjusted if you were working across a field, So rather leaning to one side as you drove, A Ram would lift the Cab level, Front Weight, Wheel Weights, Draw Bars etc, Also went to Big Shows Earls Court & others, Lamborghinis were parked next to us, Very few looked at lambos, But we're always all over our Countys, Great Vid Cheers 👍🇬🇧
If this was on my land the springs on the ploughs would be dancing like mad there's so many stones lol. Lovely to see these old tractors doing what they were made for.
Fair play to the county folk they have deep pockets 👏 🙄 😆. Glad the old beasts are kept going there well worth the effort 👌 . Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 🏴
Happy memories working at TROY FARM MONMOUTH MONMOUTHSHIRE driving COUNTY 1184 beast of a tractor in its time and of course Lindsay Ward LEYLAND 472 Happy Days - I have restored to factory like new condition Leyland 804 and a Chieftain Tank MBT. Great content :)
I remember back in the 70's when I was working on a farm we were running all Ford tractors. Our local Ford agent brought round a loan County tractor for us to use for a week with a view to trying to sell us one. Our paddocks were pretty small and these tractors have the turning circle of a football field. My boss decided they were just too big and cumbersome for what we needed. Which was true but awesome tractors.
I miss plowing every year in the fall. We've been all notill for the last 20 years. I can still smell the dirt watching this. Our big tractor was an 1180 hesston. Always wished it had a turbo. It's got almost 14000 hours now and still going, never any major work done to it.
A lot of money gathered in that field! Lovely tractors, have a soft spot for the 1454 and 1884, but with the prices on them I sure is never going to get my hands on one :)
Massey-Ferguson 1250 all day long 🙂 and yes the aroma of newly turned soil in the Autumn is one of those things like new mown hay, it has to be experienced to to know what it is all about.
We just "plow" here in Illinois. The first high school I attended called their basketball and softball teams the "Farmersburg Plowboys". That was way back in 1950's. The only time I've seen the numbers of tractors you showed was at an event called "Farm Progress". Kind of a big fair where many of the farm mfg's gather each year to so their stuff. They rotate the show between Boone, Iowa and Decatur, Illinois. They will host about 350,000 people over three days on a good year.
Our soil conservation people would lose their mind if we wanted to break ground here now. I have 3 bottom Ford plow I use for making terraces and water diversions
I can remember when I was small a local farmer had contractors in doing silage and they were using one to back it up no cab no cab but there was a passenger seat with a frame on the wing that I sat in . I think the farmer saw me and that was the first and last time I was on one .
I think the last Muir Hill tractor I saw was gently rusting away as it ends its life hauling boats from the sea at Bulmer in Northumberland. It was in a terrible state but certain components had been wrapped in that greasy fabric gas tape to stop them perforating lol.
Most impressive tractor there was 1884 yeh was a big tractor but 9 furrows behind it and pulled it no fuss no bother 💪💪 where a lot of the others considering their size an power weren't performing that well in my opinion 🤔 great video though 👍
I think that the poor ballasting of those other tractors was the cause for their comparatively poor showing. Needed more wieght on the front - important when going up hill.

Cracking video thanks my Grandfather ploughed that ground in the 1940s Fordes estate.👍

What an absolutely gorgeous day ... so beautiful ... I enjoyed this video so much Aliistairc123 ... THANK YOU 😄👍🐝🦋🦗🌱🌷
Something special about the old county and Muirhills. Back in the day when tractors were simple to work on and still effective
Absolutely beautiful scenery at the start!
Thumbs up for Tractors in general!

Good looking soil thank's for the show
Superb, really enjoyed watching the plowing, some cracking shots tractors plowing in line.
Really enjoyed your video
Very good video but have to say I've driven both counties and Muir hills and the Muir hills definitely get my vote 👍
Better visibility through being up so high and a much improved turning circle, compared to a County.
These is so cool
Nice to see them out working seen them in shed some plant
Great old skool muscle💪👍

They may be old, but they still do the job :-D
Not as fast as modern machines but you would not expect it.

Mm we just plough here.
Drive should have changed down at the bottom of the hill😊
Brother in law has a DDD in a barn took it apt to do the clutch and it is still in half lol

You forgot to mention County Tractor were Built in FLEET - Hampshire .
I used to pull 5 20” bottoms with my 6030 Deere. I could plow 16” deep uphill and downhill in our clay soils. I don’t think I could have handled 6 20s
The company still operate in Hampshire. 👍
I think the last Muir Hill tractor I saw was gently rusting away as it ends its life hauling boats from the sea at Bulmer in Northumberland. It was in a terrible state but certain components had been wrapped in that greasy fabric gas tape to stop them perforating lol.
Do you know much about the 964, don’t see many of them around. Awesome video
I drove a 954, (HBE 266 D) don't see many of those either.
Always like 👍 👍
1000000 👍 like 👍 👍
