fame at last thanks for including me in your video, sorry if I seem a bit flat and emotionless but that's what Parkinson's disease does to you we watching this video whilst finishing some of your milkshake and the rolled pork from your shop cheers
So nice to see your dad. He certainly hasn’t lost the pep in his step! Love hearing him talk about the tractors, what a great man he is. I love his ‘don’t tell mom’ comment, what a trooper! Great video Tom, enjoyed seeing you ‘boys’ out there having a day together. Henry is a sweetheart and fits right in. 😂🤣 Have a great rest of the week. ❤❤
Im not a farmer, but I collected the Britains farm toys as a kid and still would love a classic Ford tractor for real! A farm near me still uses a 50s Massey MF35 around their yard, which is always a joy to watch..... those old work horses were built to last :)
Took a little liberty and shared this vid te mad about tractors. Love listen te ye dad rabbit on about tractors. Reminds me o people I grew up around. If not will happy te take it down
Tom i have been a huge fan since you came to RUclips i love your videos they are so helpful because i am a beef farmer in Ireland I farm 55 head of cattle
Well if I'm ever going to buy a tractor, there is only one person I'm going to ask for advice, Tom's dad. He should be on mastermind with his amount of knowledge. 👍
I love the English countryside its so elegant except for stone picking im from Douro Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 originally stone picking is the worst hay is fun done the right way bale in the day and unload after supper my father Carl has a 1948 8n Ford fully restored almost lower left unpainted the old paint is great so my dad can rake hay with it
Auctions are great fun Tom, you did well not to catch Auction fever. I think the wives sending Henry was a clever plan. You should check he wasn't wearing a wire 😂
That was one of your best videos Tom. Henry is such a clever little chap! Landrovers pre 2000 are and always will be the best Good to see your sense in sticking to your budget. Too many get carried away
We have 3 similar machines. An 885, a 4240 and a 4220. All done us very well and very similar mechanically. 4220 has a different engine block, but same backend. They're all getting very tired now, but we're juddling them around. But the gear linkages are fairly awful, especially now they're worn
If you had turned the key to the left then it would of displayed the hours. I really hope you read this, we bought a brand new 4230 lp (low profile) so I know alot about them. We also have had many other case tractors. My point is, the 42 series we in my opinion the worst by a mile. You would be very disappointed and it probably wouldn't even compare to your old 100 hurliman. My advice is that you get what you pay for. The 42 series case's haven't got a big following or that 4240 at the sale would have made more. I would either go for an 856xl or a cx 90 or 100 because they were all much more capable tractors
Good video i remember selling 4240s etc when they were new and to be honest we had alot of warranty claims with them between clutch failure and poor electrics the backend is more or less the same as a 674 but with 95hp under the bonnet the backend was fit for purpose plus i thought the gear change was horrendous compared to an 885
Tom, you need to carry a club to use to slow the ginger warrior down. I've had 3 ops on my back, last one 2013 with pins and rods. I'm sat here now on 2 different pain killers and Diazepam because of multiple issues and it ain't pleasant. The right recovery is so important as it sets the tone further down the line. A good chair for posture, no slouching ! No lifting, climbing, standing too long in one place, riding a tractor, pushing things and twisting. Saying that, keep moving with no prolonged periods sat down and definitely keep up the exercises. 6 weeks back to normal is too short, at least 8. Not trying to teach how to suck eggs....... but we don't want a broken one now do we.
You would have been disappointed with a 4240 or any case in that range they were a step down in reliability compared to the earlier models or the models that came after them. The man giving you advice at the auction was very right
DT 268, it's a 4.4 four cylinder with around 100+ hp, a long stroke of 140 mm to a 100mm bore, basically a 4 cylinder case 1455, loads of low down torque with hanging power, wonderful motor
So, this would be to "update" the 885 loader tractor so you could possibly have 3 field tractors? The Case, the smaller Hurliman and this update? Oh, please bring on the drier weather, I can't wait to see those field videos. And well done keep your father under control when he was trying to jumble around like he hasn't a care.
I love how you buried the news about the shear grab amongst the excitement of going to the sale! Sad that you could not get the Case but with so many collectors there prices were always going to be high. All the tractors looked to be in amazing condition.
Some serious money spent there Tom, glad to see you didn't succumb to the auction fever. You should look at a recent video from Joe in Yorkshire. He had a walk round an auction site near York that was simply "Maahhooosive" And they had some Sheer grabs. 😉. PS: I hope the Warrior behaved himself on holiday and is continuing to convalesce well. 🤞👍.
Always wanted a Massey 35 haha. Unlucky with the Case though mate! About the JDs at the end, not so keen on the new JD models but the older shapes like the 6920/7530 are wicked 😎.
Good luck Tom trying to govern the ginger warrior when he wants to go scampering ❤ You're doing the right thing but oi! You've signed up for rough ride😂🤣😅
Some nice Fords there!!! I'm saving my money for a few years now to buy a Ford tractor of some sort prob be a thousand hundred or ten series. I'm hoping to get it before I'm 17 in June 😊
Lol! Never in a month of Sundays was that 42 gonna sell for 10k! The 15 and a half what the hammer dropped at was probably fair price for it. The gear linkage on them does have a bad rep but are ok if well maintained or certainly not any worse than an XL cabbed 885.
I figure the wheel base to be around 100” or so and the case 4240 is 88.7 so it’s not much bigger. Hell you could probably sell the loader to bring the price down some more if you didn’t need it. Oh and only 2.67 meters tall. Under 9’ tall it’s a muscly beast of a shrimp.
That lad at 19.41 in made a definite bee line for you guys 😂. Do you ever feel self conscious when people stare at you because they don't know why you're filming\ who you are? My anxiety would be through the roof!
Dude you you had a great choice of Deeres there why didn't you check them out!! as we know you had the best time carting silage in a 2850. Cannot beat an old JD 💪
@@TomPembertonFarmLife ohh really that's gutting, they are just the best I grew up driving a 2650 and a 3040 luckily for us we still have a 2650. Just rewatched your video of you carting in the 2850 so jealous of you, I'm not surprised you had a great day sat in that seat 👌
It's a pity the 4240 didn't fall into your budget range. I assume the "slightly older" backup plan tractor is not the PRO model? The PRO was only available in the final year of production. The PRO models have a host of really really nice features that the previous models didn't have, and they were generally all round better tractors. Also the PRO had slightly more power and torque. We had a 1998 model 4240XL PRO, a real pocket rocket tractor - it never missed a beat in 15 years. The XL cab is much more desirable than the 'glass house' LP cab. The transmission would not be ideal for lots of road work, but for around the yard it would be prefect for your operation.
Good for you watching out for your Dad. You need to slow down, hurrying to make the cow's meal only gives you 5 minutes more it's not worth a broken grab. Then I'm sure it took you longer after that. Slow & steady wins the race, take it from an old lady.
fame at last thanks for including me in your video, sorry if I seem a bit flat and emotionless but that's what Parkinson's disease does to you we watching this video whilst finishing some of your milkshake and the rolled pork from your shop cheers
No problem at all. Thought you were great on camera Richard ☺️

So nice to see your dad. He certainly hasn’t lost the pep in his step! Love hearing him talk about the tractors, what a great man he is. I love his ‘don’t tell mom’ comment, what a trooper! Great video Tom, enjoyed seeing you ‘boys’ out there having a day together. Henry is a sweetheart and fits right in. 😂🤣 Have a great rest of the week. ❤❤
Could listen to your dad the whole day, talking about tractors. 👍🏻👌🏼
Good to see dad out and about, loving his knowledge of the tractors.
Thank you Tom & dad I’m glad to see you up on your feet but please take it easy 😊

Love listen te ye dad rabbit on about tractors. Reminds me o people I grew up around.
If not will happy te take it down
lol i love the moment when Tom was watching out for his Dad not letting him climb in the tractor.
Once an adult
Twice a child 🚜 🚜 💯
There’s no stopping the old boys
Your dad is an encyclopedia of knowledge about farm tractors.
Not just tractors.
Tom i have been a huge fan since you came to RUclips i love your videos they are so helpful because i am a beef farmer in Ireland I farm 55 head of cattle
Haha, I loved the txt msg from dad. "dont tell Mum," 🤣
Class wasn’t it 😂
“It’s easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission”. An excellent old saying. Great video, thanks. 👍
That is Not a viable strategy in a marriage.
@@lindaarmstrongjackman9788 The original saying wasn’t about marriage or relationships, but, thinking about it? 😂
What a ridiculous statement
Well if I'm ever going to buy a tractor, there is only one person I'm going to ask for advice, Tom's dad. He should be on mastermind with his amount of knowledge. 👍
I'm glad you took Luke! It shows you don't treat him just like a regular worker and more like a part of the family 👍🏼
I bought that 3680 blind online from cheffins nice to see it featured on your vid aha
It's a good thing your dad didn't go alone Tom or he would be climbing in tractors left and right!

Very glad you put this video up. Henry is amazing as are all the people you met at the sale. Good to see dad looking so well. Take care. X😊
Good one Tom, Henry is a star. Nice to see your dad out and about.
Nice to see Henry getting an early start on auctions !!
It's amazing how much used farm equipment goes for.
Greetings from Alberta
That was one of your best videos Tom.
Henry is such a clever little chap! Landrovers pre 2000 are and always will be the best
Good to see your sense in sticking to your budget. Too many get carried away
Articulated Massey and TW Ford are dream machines.
Keep up the good work Tom, night pop down to farm shop soon hopefully come meet you
Ya dad has the knowledge n great to see the passion he has 👍
Glad to see your dad up and moving around
This was a really fun video Tom. Ive never been to an auction. Henry did so good. What a swell lad❤

Glad you commented as such. I've always felt the 42 series were, 'nowt flash'.
My dad has a county 944, only one I’ve ever seen and it’s one of my favourite tractors ever. Wouldn’t change it for anything
My grandfather was a mechanic for Massey Ferguson. I have a soft spot for those machines…. That old one is a beauty!!!
great to see you and your Dad on bangers and cash with the BMC Mini tractor, I thought it looked like your farm
Good morning farmers from afar.. I guess when your at the auction you got to watch your words.!!!!!
A fine exhibition of tractor geekery - loved it!
7:37 Not bad Case IH 4240 with hydraulics total flow rate 60.9 lpm and a optional to up it to 69.6 lpm.
Good video i remember selling 4240s etc when they were new and to be honest we had alot of warranty claims with them between clutch failure and poor electrics the backend is more or less the same as a 674 but with 95hp under the bonnet the backend was fit for purpose plus i thought the gear change was horrendous compared to an 885
Worst tractor that case ever made!
Some great characters in the video today Tom. Enjoyed it.
You don’t get anything cheap at auction when you tell everyone in the video before hand that you were interested in it….😉
🤦♂️😂😂😂
Ain't That the Truth
Would have been smarter to keep his slavering organ shut!! If people know SFA they know too much 😂😂
Hey Tom. You need some laundry cleaning ? Srsly You went in dirty clothes on auction ? You were the only one.. checked video twice
@@CastewaPL I went straight after work 🙈
@@TomPembertonFarmLife it was cringe a bit
Enjoyed that. Who dosnt love an auction. Tractor prices are mental now.
Tom, you need to carry a club to use to slow the ginger warrior down. I've had 3 ops on my back, last one 2013 with pins and rods. I'm sat here now on 2 different pain killers and Diazepam because of multiple issues and it ain't pleasant. The right recovery is so important as it sets the tone further down the line. A good chair for posture, no slouching ! No lifting, climbing, standing too long in one place, riding a tractor, pushing things and twisting. Saying that, keep moving with no prolonged periods sat down and definitely keep up the exercises. 6 weeks back to normal is too short, at least 8. Not trying to teach how to suck eggs....... but we don't want a broken one now do we.
You would have been disappointed with a 4240 or any case in that range they were a step down in reliability compared to the earlier models or the models that came after them. The man giving you advice at the auction was very right
Hey mate, ask your Dad what he thinks of the Massey Ferguson 178 2wd, just picked one up and I'm in love! Needs a LOT of cosmetic work!
Good to see your dad up and about despite you having kittens every time he does something he’s not supposed to do know the feeling
DT 268, it's a 4.4 four cylinder with around 100+ hp, a long stroke of 140 mm to a 100mm bore, basically a 4 cylinder case 1455, loads of low down torque with hanging power, wonderful motor

Great video. That County 1004 would be sweet. I’m a big blue fan. Problem is, it’s so clean, would you want to use it hard?
Give him 5 mins with it, he'll have it nice and muddy for ya lmao
On those generations of case IH you have to turn the key back to get the hours 😉
As an American i can say I AM SO JEALOUS OF THE AMOUNT OF NICE CLEAN FORD TRACTORS YOU GUYS HAVE ACROSS THE POND!!!
Ach, it was a good day out nevertheless. I fancied the Muir Hill 121 - we had a 161 back in the day. My fave tractor of all time.
7:02 Putting a bit of practice in for the new dad voice/skills I see.
I wouldent recommend the 4240 we have one of them but it it’s hard to keep going it brakes all the times
I love how you buried the news about the shear grab amongst the excitement of going to the sale! Sad that you could not get the Case but with so many collectors there prices were always going to be high. All the tractors looked to be in amazing condition.
😂😂🙈
Just brilliant video loved it
Thank God father is doing well 😊
Tom sure wasn't it great to have the day out,I'm a ford 7000 fan,but all I'll be ever doing is admiring it 😢
You should get a case International 956 XL tractor instead of a smaller tractor
Hi tom you need to turn the key backwards on the 4240 to show the hours👍
That little 1700 is a nice one. My brother has a 1910 4 wheel drive. 😂 It's ace
I missed it. What did the little garden tractor go for? The baby ford?
Some serious money spent there Tom, glad to see you didn't succumb to the auction fever. You should look at a recent video from Joe in Yorkshire.

Turn the key anti clockwise for the hours

Used Farm machinery has been really high for quite a while. But some of those prices. That definitely was auction fever.
I dont know how you van take your father anywhere without him trying to climb into every tractor lol

To see the hours on those case tractors you need to turn the ignition key one notch backwords
I was thinking that was Jim fisher from classic tractor alright when you were talking to him before he said it 😅
Great video Tom it sounded like everything sold quite strongly good for the seller and not the buyer 👏👏👍👍
Enjoyed watching your video.
What a sensible upgrade.
