I read below that Mr Wade is in his eighties,what a wonderful life to enjoy what you do with what you like to do it with, this is why England remains a great country,, thank you Mr Wade, and thank you for showing
Beautiful video that reminds me of my childhood back in the 1960s spending my summer at my uncles farm. Very reminiscent of those old British Pathe films too.
This brings back fond memories of haymaking with the Nuffield 460. I remember my old man upgrading from a KM 22 to a KM25 mower causing wheels in the air excitement for the old Nuffield! Marking the beginning of the end for the old girl! I learned to drive on her and I wish I had her and my Dad back again for one more summer!
I cut , raked and baled hay for five years in the late fifties and early sixties with a BMC Nuffield 460 and a B55 international wire tie baler, that's when bales were bales, such a reliable tractor only problem we ever had was having to change rear axle seals every couple of years , cheers from Tasmania
This video is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for making it. I loved it. Dream farm and lovely old nuffas doing their stuff. We have a 342 yard scraping!!
My friend Simon rebuilt a little orange Nuffield sold it off and bought five Belarus things so that he could leave an attachment on each one and save constantly changing them on and off again, they were noisy and vibrated, a copy of an old International engine I believe. Happy days with him doing bale cart and corn cart, straw chopping, drilling, ploughing etc. he left us at only 50 years of age.
The stuff of dreams. I would happily volunteer to drive these lovely old tractors on this picture perfect farm if I could sleep in the hatched and get fed. This to me is the most perfect occupational therapy.
Massey Ferguson tractors are common even now in India. They have always been an integral part of the scenery around the tea and coffee estates in South India as far as I can remember.
I spent several haymaking seasons with a 460 - loved it. I can’t remember the model but we had an old Massey Ferguson baler, a Wuffler and a borrowed Acrobat !! Happy days.
Ar bings it all back the 70s cutting hay with my father on the seat with my fathers david brown crop master 30d and some make of finger bar mower..great to C the nuffilds dowing thair bit cutting tossing and bailing and drawing it in ... great to C it done the old way ...great looking hay nice and clean no weeds ...born in the UK lived in oxford ... helo from IRELAND.. cork...😉
far too late, cut when heads beginning to show, more energy in the grass. When it goes to seed head, the plant has done its job and the nutritional value is less.
you say that but when a grass plant goes to seed the plant with the seed head dies and a cotyledon that is coming from under starts to grow so you should get a free reseed and some fresh growth coming on to make fill with a little bit of energy for store cattle to keep going over for the following year when they get turned out to grass

Farming with old tractors is the best kind of farming
Beautiful video that reminds me of my childhood back in the 1960s spending my summer at my uncles farm. Very reminiscent of those old British Pathe films too.
Thank you! Hopefully we can do it all again in a few weeks time, although we will be having help from the big boys!
Great video! We had Nuffield tractors on the farm in Hampshire in 1960s then Leyland before moving to Ford. Happy memories!
Thanks! Should be out there again in a few weeks, although we do get a bit of help from the big boys!
simply beautiful and nostalgic .
International 440 , probably the best small square baler ever made.
Nice to see period equipment doing a great job...takes me back 50 years.
Nuffield lover for sure. Beautiful job well done video
Nutfield tractors were manufactured from 1948 - 1969. They were a five speed transmission. Perkins engine from 1950 .

My grandfather has just the same tractor after 64 years the tractor still works. on a beautiful sunny day we sometimes take it for a ride.
Doesn't get much better than that. Great video. All the best.
A flat field surrounded by threes and no house in sight-- the smell of hay and a nuffield tractor. Can't get any better.
How England should be

I can smell the hay the hot tractor and cloudless sky couldn't get any better
Keeping it simple...AWESOME JOB !!!
Excellent video, well done. History in the making. I can almost get the sweet smell from here.
This video is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for making it. I loved it. Dream farm and lovely old nuffas doing their stuff. We have a 342 yard scraping!!
Great video, brings me back to the old days making hay, some great memories, lovely music too.

great video of good old times, love the tractor.
Funtastic, sound of old time farm tractors are same nostalgic 🇳🇪
The stuff of dreams. I would happily volunteer to drive these lovely old tractors on this picture perfect farm if I could sleep in the hatched and get fed. This to me is the most perfect occupational therapy.
Glad to see someone who knows how to open up a hayfield and start mowing.
As in he went round the right way first pass? Ye.
Great video 👍🏼 brings back memories ..
Beautifully filmed and photographed. Looks like a scene from The Darling Buds of May.
or green acres

Lovely video. Those Nuffields must be at least 50 years old ! Good to see them working. Hay looks well.
Super film makes me feel good about my old Nuffield 4dm-warts and all!
Spent many years haymaking with an old Nuffield universal brilliant old tractor and fastest one on the road at the time lol
Same years ago, in Uruguay can see a lot of Nuffield, cutting the grass; at the higway sides.
Good work on the video! Great operation you guys have there!
Excellent... things just as they should be
Yes. Old school farming is the best.
Ours was a six silinder 460. We cut silage with
The perfect outfit 😊
I spent several haymaking seasons with a 460 - loved it. I can’t remember the model but we had an old Massey Ferguson baler, a Wuffler and a borrowed Acrobat !! Happy days.
Just bought I two owner universal to join our 10/60 universal 3 coming tomorrow
It’s nice to see Mr Wade keeping the old kit going. And he rebuilt the trailers from chassis up.
Kieran Casserley we had a bit of help this year with the mowing from the big boys!

Lester Kirby 👍 did it all again this year, but with a little help from the big boys for the mowing!
Looks a nice bit of hay I can smell it from here lol
mmmmm Yes! I wish i could really smell it here!
Nothing beats the smell of freshly cut hay and a yellow canola field!
It's quite dangerous to stand that close to a rotary mower, IMO.
I've seen the damage caused when one of the knives flies off.
Very nice 😊
Nice video
Los nuffiel són rectores muy bueno
cut when the heads are bowing so the pasture reseeds its self just as it should be also dont take so long to dry either
peter james So true, poor nutritional value though, more like belly fill. Lovely video though!!!!!
far too late, cut when heads beginning to show, more energy in the grass. When it goes to seed head, the plant has done its job and the nutritional value is less.

I see so many cut the meadow before the heads drop , then they wonder why it grows back rank
Alfalfa and Rye-Grass, you can keep them..
That Bussard is loking for mice
Using modern equipment ,"the boy" would have knocked the gate post over and broke down 4 times during the making of this
And broke the mirrors off on the trees.
Who needs GPS? Bullet straight cuts
Real farming
Great video, how many Nuffield 's do you have?
I think Jolly has 10 plus Nuffields, as he is in his eighties he likes to have one for each implement on the farm!
Impressive, always like to see old Nuffield's working away. Nice video thanks for posting it. 👍🚜
