I love these old promotional videos. Music is classy, and you see people using the machines as they were intended. I have learned a lot from the old videos that modern implement dealers don't know how to use or fix on old tractors.
what you can do is take the rear right tire off and place a long pole an just put your meet above the fir and let the tires roll whit first gear ofcourse you have to put like wood or something under the tractor so it dont fall
Great tractor my youngest brother has owned a gas 35 MF for about 20 years still runs good . I bought a 539 IMT that's a copy of the 35 MF in 2007 . It has power steering and a front loader. Got many attachments for it for my garden . And it's a good hay raking tractor so easy on fuel.
In Maine they used to roll snow before they had steel plows. I saw a documentary where one old timer said in May they would be breaking ice chunk off the road as big as your car.
@@Alex-uy7pc yeah, my grandfather had as snow roll here in NH. Large steel frame with planks bolted on it. Quite heavy too pull with horses. Can't imagine how cold that would have been rolling the streets!!!
the fella nxt door bought one and asked me to help him bring it home...it had a full growen tree and hedge through it but we stripped and rebuilt it over 2 years and its working nearly everyday and going to shows!
All those people around potentially dangerous equipment wouldn't be allowed today. But, in generations past, people had the ability to think for themselves, use common sense, and take accountability for their own safety.
I remember seeing something about accidents at airshows, there was no compensation to the families and none was expected, your father or mother or child was just dead.
@@oldfarmer3001 And then it would have been their fault, wouldn't it? Now it's all the flipfloppery, someone sneezes 40 miles away and it's the red tape mill, your papers please and the whole shebbang, just.. useless. Use common sense, it doesn't get easier than that.
I beleive Harry Ferguson refused to accept a knighthood from Winston Churchill stating that "no business man should be offered a knighthood as there would have been many a dubious deal done to obtain wealth and that knighthoods should only be given to members of the armed forces who carry out acts of bravery" this said at a time of ww2, nowadays even pop singers and bycicle people are knighted, gone are the days of the gentlymans agreement, nowadays a written contract isnt worth the paper its on
My Dad bought one of these in 19 50s . He bought on special at the Scottish Highland Show and it came with 4 basic implements....Cost then 400.00 pounds all up.
@@fazeeti2692 Wood floor and wooden sided 3 ton. Single axle. 30cwt all-steel tipper. Single axle. Ferguson did not offer a 2 axle trailer as far I know. 2 axle trailers aren't often seen in the UK.
My neighbors have the one with the loader that stills works the loaders not on it but I found a shovel in the shed were they keep all of there old farming equipment
I know this comment is 7 years old but there’s a reason you will never see that design many many people died because of it if the tractor died with the loader raised very bad things would happen
My dad told me he's first ferguson had that loader on it. He cut it loose whit gaswelding and made a grader off it because he really didn't like the way you had to climb in to the driverseat.
In Rural america there are lots of old tractors still in use on small farms. My neighbor has an old 1958 ford tractor that he uses for cutting his grass with a brushhog.
My mothers brother bought in 1950 en Ferguson 26 tractor. Aften Manu years Well done work, among whitch was to drive with An 5 foot combiner!! It now still is om the same adress in Denmark and makes still easiere work. My son is still proud of it, and the motor works as e new O'Neill. The body Number is: 121673 and the motor number is: Standard motor number 72618 . The first Grey Ferguson tractors had en Continental motor! Hans L. Andersen Earlier farmer, now pensionist 85 years old!! An later Ferguson 135 was NOT AS god. It was repaird twice in the gearbox!!
@@TheFowler99 The Fordson only pulled it's implements and was potentially lethal to anyone within 20 yards if it caught a snag. The fact that it didn't make the implements part of the tractor was it's downfall. It was good enough for completely flat acres in the U.S, but proved to be less than adequate on the much smaller U.K farms.
If the government would stay out of business and let them build for quality not emissions and safety the new equipment sold today would be as rock solid reliable as these old machines
I guess the sports ground where this was shot is now all houses or a "retail park". So sad that all our open spaces are disappearing or completely gone in the name of greed of local government .
I have one and had it on my 51 TO-30 but took it off. Crazy amount of lifting power but not useful for much else. Just to bulky and always in the way. Also like to snap front ends if not braced up like mine. Spend the money on a small skidsteer instead.
I've bought recently TEK 20 model in nice condition. It's 65 years old and I've only adjusted carburator and it's working like brand new. Can't wait to plow my field for the first time in my life by myself. I was driving it around all Saturday and felt childish joy. I can't imagine what it must felt like to change horse plowing to this beautiful machine, it must be like gift from heaven to all those hard working people.
The Vanguard van seen about 1.17 is an Eastern Tractors van, they were Ferguson dealers in the Essex/Suffolk border area, there was a branch in Steeple Bumpstead near where I lived as a boy.
Cool.. I have been farming in Central Nebraska for sixty years and have never seen some of those implements. I didn't catch it but how did they control the steering on that Roller gizzmo.. Ha.. I still got my Dads old 8n that he got back in the fifties you should see it park between our three 7030 E's...

“C’mon son, go put on your suit so we can go to the tractor demonstration.”
My great grandfather bought one of these 70 years ago and it is still there in that same shed
I have a '51 TO-20, still runs like new, seems like it will run forever, lots of power!
I have never seen a front end loader like this one.
Super little tractor. Have one for 4 generations. And the thing about it was they start just like daisy. Mine is a 1946 ferguson brown.
I love the roller attachment. Genius.

I got on from my grandpa and it still runs like it did for 60 years ago
Love hearing that music!!!
That is the time when the music have no peat
My great grandfather mad the earliest front end loader known on a fordson and was called the tractor shovel, he let the patent lapse..
It was all cable driven off the PTO

Love the roller :)
Neat! The front-end loader is a bit scary!

Yeah Ford and Ferguson kept their gentlemans agreement without a hitch or problem.
It was Ford's son that broke it without warning.
I love Massey Ferguson.
The video was awesome, but I had to turn the sound down after about 30 seconds.
Still dream to have one
Great job
I own a TO 20 with a 60" Woods belly mower. to cut my grass. great tractor.
Wonder why they never marketed this style of loader, pretty slick unit, clean, simple.
My Dad bought one of these in 19 50s . He bought on special at the Scottish Highland Show and it came with 4 basic implements....Cost then 400.00 pounds all up.
Wao very amazing
did a trailer also come with it or just plow,cultivator and that kind of stuff?

I was intrigued with the front end loader witch had the main pivot point mounted to the back of the tractor. Never seen one of those in real life
skid steer loaders or Bull dozers 👍👍
I know this comment is 7 years old but there’s a reason you will never see that design many many people died because of it if the tractor died with the loader raised very bad things would happen
Very unusual design indeed
i got mf 255 and it still runs perfect
at our cabin we have a 1956 one and we are the orignal owners of it and we still use it all the time for cutting grass
No you do not.
Once upon a time I too had this tractor...
Weird that he’s driving with the front end loader in the air. Your supposed to keep it low when traveling so you don’t tip over
_You're_ supposed to, not "your".
Wunderschöner Film
Wow i can't believe this was only 10 years ago
Music represents the 20"s
But the vehicles in this were from late 40s early 50s era
And?
My dad told me he's first ferguson had that loader on it. He cut it loose whit gaswelding and made a grader off it because he really didn't like the way you had to climb in to the driverseat.
The little Fergie 20 took over from the horse; TVO and petrol instead of hay.
nice!
good job thnks
harry ferguson was a genius.
Everybody always gets confused with these tractors and calls them massy furgussons but this was just before the two companys merged
Now that's a proper front loader, I wonder can you even dump the load on yourself.
conek2 the real question here is, can you dump it behind you?
There’s more than 2 ton on that trailer?

Wouldn't trade my 1952 to 30 for anything, great tractor. That loader looks like you could loose some body parts in it if you weren't careful.
Good incentive to be careful then.
Wonder what the pickup was at the beginning. It had a lot of common foreign design to it.
