My mother is 88 years young and she still ploughs all her own fields. But she thinks this might be her last year on the farm. She told me that milking cow's for 76 years was enough . I don't think she will give it up that easy . To all those ladies getting out there still doing it I take my hat off to you.
Great to see the Muir hills working, I have fond memories of them as I started engineering by working in the factory building them in the late 70’s. Happy days.😃
Brilliant video, can't beat county/ MH power. I ploughed hill fields with a ford 7710, that were so steep that you couldn't have your feet on the floor due to the toolbox sliding across the cab floor
Good old mum, she really knows how to put the Muir-Hill through it's paces. My wife used one in Scotland back in the 1970's. You should give her some front weights like on the Ford. Your stone content appears to match ours!!!
1961 dad had 5 of the brands come to our farm and started them side by side up a slope like that..3 bottom plows..The Ford 800 Select O Speed got to the top first and he bought 2 of them...
Hopefully you had a lot better luck than my neighbors who bought them did. The Troy built one's sold in North America has some serious build issues that, when they failed were whorendusly expensive to fix. Because of that, Ford didn't have any market presence in my neighborhood until after the merger with New Holland.....
Beautiful country, looks like the combine was throwing over. We have hills steeper than that but I seeded them to grass. Zero till would be a good option. But I don't know the details. Good video.
Kudo's to your Mom, BUT, when you said very steep hills, I expected to see the Palouse country. Running crawlers on those side hills, will make the hair on your neck stand up! Just watching a hillside combine slide on the slippery stubble, takes your breath away. On some of those hills, we call it, "talking to the angels!" These tractors, would roll over where my family farms.
mind watching dad ploughing following along side on a wee quad - he had a 1594 3 furrow reversible kv on - one field had a big hollow wi a long but steep climb out - heavy yellow clay n you got the front wheels lifting for a second or 2 while the draft control sorted itself out - as wee boy it was strange to see something that big wi its front wheels lifting
I like so much that tractors with all four wheels of the same diameter! About old farmers.... Here in Italy I've seen several +80 years old men drive tractors
Ooooh Look at your Mom go..! Now that's a tractor pull if efer I seed one 4 wheel drive too..! Man look at the wheels spinning in the dirt and still making progress..! I'll bet it takes a Veteran tractor puller to do that..!
Just curious the plowing pattern includes uphill dragging? Just didn't seem right especially hearing from videographer how steep it was ... there's gotta be a most efficient way on hills
I am glad to see Mum out plowing. But I hate to tell you that is not steep ground. I am in the Northwest part of the USA. We have steep ground. But keep Mum plowing that will keep her healthy.
Hey guys the ONLY plow I have ever seen with leaf springs on top were built in Norway and Kvernland was the manufacture is that the kind of plow that is behind the Ford??
Fantastico num and gritty tractor, but those are not steep Hills,in Italy we grow vegetables in those condiction, steep hills must at least be 30% slope.. Have you ever plowed a Land with clods Rolling behind It?
Dodge pickup in bed exhaust, has to be Australia. I hear yall were really first in flight,wilber and orval wright were second,but got credit for being the first.
@@allistairc123 well heck,I thought that's what I heard on there, but I didn't think you would see a dodge pickup in North Ireland. Interesting anyway looked like nice country or area,and I have ancestors from Ireland, the potato famine brought them over here.
How are you dealing with erosion from plowing straight up and down like that??? We've got a couple of fields like that on our farm, and woe be tied the person who didn't plow cross way's because of it. We've got one hugh washout from back around the turn of the last century that one of my great uncles caused because he had had an argument with my great great grandfather about something.... And yes, that's when the family was still pure Irish; it was my grandparents generation back in the 20's & 30's who started marrying outside the neighborhood when the took jobs off the farm... My brother and I were the only kids in our generation to grow up on and help work the place....
It must be in the UK. I don't think the UK gets much heavy rain. They get plenty of rainfall but in small steady falls. In Australia all fields like that would have Soil Erosion Contours to prevent Erosion. Also very few Farmers here now use ploughs. In some Small Crop areas possibly where soils get very badly compacted during harvest. Most Farmers of Grain type crops here now use Zero Till or Minimum Till methods. Often the only mechanical cultivation that happens is when the Crop is planted unless they have a wet harvest that leaves ruts in the ground.

Kudos to your mother for doing a difficult task on such steep hills. 63 years old and ploughing. GREAT JOB!!
Hats off to your mum!! May she plow for many more decades to come!
She’s 65 years young. That’s what’s keeping her young and strong. Good for her.👍🏻
My mother is 88 years young and she still ploughs all her own fields. But she thinks this might be her last year on the farm. She told me that milking cow's for 76 years was enough . I don't think she will give it up that easy .

Bless her heart!!!
My mum is only 79 but still farms her sheep every day.
Working is what keeps people young and in good health. Retirement homes and communities are for when you want to die.
How is she going now 3 years later?🤔 hope she's fine?!
Her hip is sore these days she's taking it a bit easier but still in good form
Great to see the Muir hills working, I have fond memories of them as I started engineering by working in the factory building them in the late 70’s. Happy days.😃
she done very well.keep at it for manys years,nice old tractor.
Power to those hard worker's from before and God bless your mom power to you and your family
Hey up that's one good mum you've got there mate
Great video really enjoyed it, God bless y'all and stay safe thanks for sharing 🚜
Nice to hear those 6 cylinder Fords singing and pulling hard👌nice Video got my 👍well done Mother.
Great video
Loved watching your mum grab that throttle and put it to it. She never hesitated! I was laughing and cheering. 👍
Brilliant video, can't beat county/ MH power. I ploughed hill fields with a ford 7710, that were so steep that you couldn't have your feet on the floor due to the toolbox sliding across the cab floor
Something tells me , She's seen this RODEO before. 60's don't mean incapable, but rather experienced ! Go ! Mamma Go !
May the Lord bless her and give her many seasons
Reminded me of my own grandmother when she was at her age. Not with the ploughing, but with the attitude...
👍👍👍
Lovely looking muir hill 101.
My dream tractor when I was a child.
Looks like she's doing a great job :)
Love watching those tires pull a ripple.
maximum effort
Fantastic mom. Health to her.
I dig all your tractors!
God bless you, and your mom, your very lucky because you have your mother.
Wow! We didn't have anything like that in the states back then. Amazing!
Nice job mom. Happy New Year too.
When I was in my 30s I used to think 60 was old but now that I’m 61 it isn’t old at all, dang what a woman !
That Muir Hill with the cab was pulling like a champ.

Not even a seatbelt!!! I love it.
We all want a mum like this….😂
Commentry is superb 😂👌 "that is one steep hill"
She just bout snuffed er. That field looks like a good place to try no-till or reduced tillage
what a joy to see old real muscle doing a really good job
The Ford (country)didn’t even know there was a hill until it hit a ditch that was half its size. FORD 🤘😷🤘
Nevys Nova county u mean?
hr
Hard worker like my mother when we used be farmers in Mexico ❤
Beautiful country, looks like the combine was throwing over. We have hills steeper than that but I seeded them to grass. Zero till would be a good option. But I don't know the details. Good video.
She looks way younger than the tractor!😜

Great to see this lady on top of her job on the 101, seems a good yoke to pull here but they are hopeless on the pto.
Get a raised PTO gearbox. Makes all the difference.
The phrase that came to mind seeing your mother on a charge was, "AVE IT!" Good on her!
I like so much that tractors with all four wheels of the same diameter!
About old farmers.... Here in Italy I've seen several +80 years old men drive tractors
That is a proper worker if I ever saw one.
Ooooh Look at your Mom go..! Now that's a tractor pull if efer I seed one 4 wheel drive too..! Man look at the wheels spinning in the dirt and still making progress..! I'll bet it takes a Veteran tractor puller to do that..!
God bless her, she OBVIOUSLY loves doing it. Why werent you helping your mom?
Fair play to the lady she's doing a great job
I haven't plowed hills in years o do light contour dishing just enough to chop up the cover crop
Bet the runoff and erosion is pretty bad .
Some Machine them Muir Hills and Countys!!!- still doin the Do years later !!- Theyd seem like a kings ransom to buy new but Great Value for money !!
Dang...I love that tractor that your Mother is MAN HANDLING!! A 4WD non rops old school tractor kiling it in the fields!!
You go mum. Keep on farming.
I wish I had a county tractor !!!
I have a ford 6600 2wd county made a 4wd conversion that's impossible to find in the States.
A lovely bit of countryside, 63 isn't that old wait till you get there
Keep the mind active and the body moving and the rest will take care of itself .
It looks like she has it sussed, but I'd invest in some type of roll-over protection for the tractor, especially on hills like that
ATB
Dave
She sure know how to use equipment to the max!
Parabens a sua mãe. She does a nice job.
Gonna wash like hell, should be plowing with the contour! 😌
Same thought I had
Totally agree.
Just curious the plowing pattern includes uphill dragging? Just didn't seem right especially hearing from videographer how steep it was ... there's gotta be a most efficient way on hills
she is doing well. that tractor is a beast. but maybe a roll cage.
Ol Ma knows how to Get It!👌🏻
She's just like us sending it!
We quite plowing up and down the hills years ago.
She can run the hell out of that deal!
What was the fallow period? Looks like some serious grass growth
God bless her
I am glad to see Mum out plowing. But I hate to tell you that is not steep ground. I am in the Northwest part of the USA. We have steep ground. But keep Mum plowing that will keep her healthy.
The proper title is My 63 year young mum.

How come the guys get cabs , rollover protection ,air con but your mother's out in the open ?
Very good I like it
I would class it as sideland but that is not steep by no stretch of the imagination..fair play to the lady for doing her bit 👍👍
Show me steeper up hill ploughing please
It was wrecking your nerves to watch your mum going up that bank?..even i would be concerned considering there is no roll bar or cab on it.
For sure
Steep hills, but nice looking soil!
Great vid 👍
Where is this located? Britain I assume.
Dodge pickup in bed exhaust, has to be Australia. I hear yall were really first in flight,wilber and orval wright were second,but got credit for being the first.
Northern Ireland!

Must be some ride on combine fair play cut quite clean, header must be going like mad 😂
Though as nails, the only one without a safety cab or bar😬👍
Where is this? Where I used to farm all the topsoil would be washed into the dip after the first rains.
Pls how do you control heavy rainfall from messing up the field?
is it feasible to use heavy machinery ( bulldozers or scrapers ) to excavate that ridge ( summit of the hill ) to make the slope flatter?
Not economically
Ever hear contouring the field or retracing?
Thats funny. My mum rides a unicycle at work.
Most of recent tractors wouldn't do it
My mother not in this universe, since 1984 I am still finding her in the world yet she is not seeing any where in the world.

Was wondering the same thing
You can tell by the rock protectors going off all the time that there isnt much topsoil left

@@skippy5712 we get plenty of rain in the England crops were put late in a lot of places this year because of flooded field's ground was saturated
Go Mom 👍
Queen🐝
Looks like mum handled go up the hill better than that lead tractor. Doesn't it seem that way to anybody else?
Go mum...go mum.....its your birthday!
Looks like you youngsters need to get out of her way so she doesn't have to stop behind you and wait.
Look After your Mum !! Watta Gal !!!
Fucking hell,she let that motor hang on,thought she was going to dump the clutch,but she rode it out.
Fucking tidy !!!
Ford tractors and Dodge pickups in Ireland?
Yes sir!
There are loads of fords in Ireland
What country it is ? I saw dodge ram ( backstage ) is it U.S. or Canada ?
Northern ireland
Niice looking soil, may I ask where you are located?
I think it's Northern Ireland

What is this brand of tractor units, the first and the second? The yellow one with a cabin and those without a cabin?
Muir hill
@@allistairc123 Thanks
Ol granny getting it done
Those are some old tractors!!
