@@davebroster8930 We got the dual power ones eventually. I learned on the 6600. We had a Roadless with 4 full size wheels - no idea the model now. My Mum drove, when she worked on the farm, a Belarus from the 70's! "My" tractor was a Universal 55. No heater, basic cab. Happy days!
The water splash brought a smile to my face. The first road run I ever did was a millennium run in a TVO Fergie my dad had. I hooked a car trailer on behind & mounted a seat in it for my 7yr old son to sit on. We forded a river on the run & halfway across I looked vs k to see him standing up on the seat. The water had half filled the trailer. He’s 30 now & we still laugh about it. 😆
Would have to be the Massey Ferguson 3095, great tractor to drive, to work, to repair but mainly it’s red with a shed attached 😝 Great video again and well done to organisers, not an easy task!!!
Great video 👍 really nice to see mostly vintage or Classic tractors taking part, as no sign of my favourite B series International tractors there my choice would be the MF 590 4WD 💪have heard from a few people up here 🏴 that they took their vintage tractors on a road run but gave up because all the guys on new 50k tractors just disappeared in the distance on a clear road 😕 I understand that these new tractors raise lots of money for charity but in my humble opinion a vintage tractor road run should be just that Vintage 👌
Agreed there Bob👍, even when I'm driving the oldest one on a farm a John Deere 2030 with the sheep hurdle race I've had my fare share of misses, but in my case is driving my International 956 on the busiest road, the near misses I've had, trucks, tractors (50/60k), but what gets me really p!$$ed off is boy racers, FFS !! some of their over take Stunts!!! That's why I drive slower tractors at dawn to avoid them.🙄
I'm not saying ban them because they do raise a lot of money for charity but get a crowd of young farmers out with 50k tractors and many of them seem to leave their brain at home 😞 and if not careful then could possibly put the future of road runs in jeopardy unfortunately 🤔
Oh wow what a great selection of tractors brought back happy memories for me when i worked on loads of farms locally to me in northamptonshire the MF 35x 135 168 175 188 3080 1200 3095 590 DB 996 1210 FORD 4000 5000 4600 5000 selectamatic 6600 7710 8210 TW20 JD 3350 3140 4850 7830 and my favourite of the ones i drove out of all the farms i almost forgot to mention with out doubt the COUNTY tractors fantastic either the 1164 or 1174 both my favourites but out of the swimming tractors its got to be 2 choices the well restored Ford 6600 and the 8200 well done everyone what a great run....chris now in north wales...
Hi again thank you so much it meant alot to me you replying from my message i loved that swimming tractor run and i shall watch it forever thanks chris in north wales...
Great video. That’s one way to wash the tractor. I kinda like the smaller tractors more so. I didn’t see a TEA20 Ferguson or a Ford 8N in the line up, I don’t think. Have a great day.
Another cracking vid!! good to see everything made it across , wouldnt like to chance it on a petrol fergie though! ,keep the vids coming, all the best!!
@@Casterton-Vintage MBE 900 is a 1952 fitted with a Winsam cab it is indeed fitted with under swept exhaust Colin the owner has done 1000's of miles on our roadruns over the past 30 years
Pure heaven on wheels for a vintage tractor fan. Excellent video !!
Thanks. It was a good day out and, unlike most things I planned to film this year, the rain added to it!
Brilliant footage Brian glad you enjoyed your day, Total money raised that day was over £1200 for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice
Well done to you all. That's a great result.
Seeing the Ford 6600 brought back some memories! We had those and 7600's on the farm when I was a teenager in the early 80's
My grandad had a 4000, which i learned to drive on, a 6600 which I learned to subsoil on and a 7700 dual power for ploughing 😍

Lovely simple tractors with no computer to go wrong!
My favourite the Massey 3095. 🤩

I would have enjoyed catching that on video 😃
My favourite tractor fordson super major !

I Love Watching These Old Tractors on these road runs and they raise a lot of money for charity too, Great video to 🚜 🇬🇧 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Fine video favourite tractor would be a blue and orange super major 🙂
It's starting to look like the Majors come out on top

I see the problem and I prefer the vintage. Hopefully we can get young guys to see the light 😊

I thought about 70 in all and my favourite is the Nuffield.
That's close to what I counted.
Super Major forever! Great vid
You are not alone in choosing a Major. Very popular.
Excellent video! All the best for the new year, Fordson Power Major for me!
Happy new year!

Anything with spark ignition would have been a worry for me. 😂
Another great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice one, unfortunately my favorite tractor wasn't there e27n p6😮😊
Glad you enjoyed it. A P6 E27N would have been good for keeping your feet dry!
Good video.
Thanks!
Like to bring mine next time!
enjoyed this very much.i go to tractor shows,but not like
this one.neat.i would like to do one this way.thank you.larry in USA
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
I saw just over 60 tractors plus the unimogs and Landrovers, however there was one or two breaks in video with a breakdown etc.
I think we counted 60 as they left the yard. Well done.
Great video as always and are you coming to the downham market young farmers road run again
Thanks. When is the Downham run?
Ford MBE 900 missing exhaust pipe? surely not underneath?.
I'm not a Ford expert but they made some with the exhaust underneath. Maybe we have an expert reading this who can help?

Not many international tractors
You are right. It would have been nice to see some more IH. Ford was always very strong in this part of the UK.
