    What's great about classic tractors is that they require minimal maintenance. What's bad about them is you really have to know what maintenance actually needs to be done to prevent hefty bills 😄

    The Best 6 cylinder all rounder and most underrated of the time has to be the wonderful sounding 110-90!!

    The two basic rules of thumb for restoring any vehicle.
    1) Thoroughly and honestly ork out how much you think its going cost - then double it.
    2) Work out how long you think it's going to take - then treble it

    Best tractor for me is a tractor I used to drive, when I was about 17 I worked for a small contractor, and we had 1984 IH 1455XL. It was well tweaked , 188pto hp. I used it on a DP7 Dowdswell 5 furrow plough and Reco Mengele forager.

    A dream favourite for me has to be a schluter super 1500 (still available in the 80’s just) for the simple reason the cutting edge phenomenal engineering and high specs. Yes designed in the 70’s but built right through the 80’s to be 150hp, air brakes, synchro box with the turbomatic clutch, sliding door, forward facing windscreen (behave Massey with your new shiny 8S) and a hydraulic rear tilting cab- a feature still not available on a 2021 high spec fendt or Deere. For repairs you’d still struggle today to find a tractor for ease of servicing like a schluter but then again they were the rolls Royce at at least twice the price of a 1055 international or a 3050 Deere but obviously twice the tractor- imagine how you’d feel to be at the helm of such a big tractor in those days.

      There was a number of Schluter tractors in '70s and '80 in Ex-Yugoslavia. During the war,my village was occupied for 8 years,after reintegration of occupied territories to Croatia,including my village,there was a state company in village which had about 2500 ha of land,the main working tractors during occupation where very badly maintaned Schluters, 125-140hp,4 of them. They where bought new in mid '70s.. from than to late '90s, those tractors where known to work for 2 months day and night. Especially during occupation,ploughing few houndreds of ha, heavy soil, each one of them And all 4 of them,where still working. I think that they where the most durable tractors ever made.

      Bought a 80-90 a few months ago. Was after a slightly newer NH or Massey but it came up nearby. Probably needs a few jobs done some day. Seller was also a bit economical with truth... However I wouldn't change it even for 390 or later MF.

    When I was a kid in the 80's / early 90's I was friendly with the farmer over the road, lovely old boy, would do anything for anyone if he could. He had a variety of classic kit but the daily workhorse was a Massey 595. First tractor I ever rode in that was. He had it from new right up to about 2015/6 when he retired and sold the farm yard (the fields were leased if I remember but the house and yard were his). Shite new build houses on it all now. At least they left the conker trees.

    Good video, it's always good to have a rough figure in mind when stating out on projects, it's usually the smaller things that hike the cost up, £30 for this, £40 for that, it soon adds up.
    As for tractors it would have to be a David Brown/Case 90/94 series, about every farm where I stayed had at least one of them, most were replaced with a 7810

    A classic for me of that time was the John Deere 3350 4 wheel drive with the castor front axle, great turning circle, and when a turbo was added a good pulling tractor 👍 had one for 5 years.
    The 7810 will look great and be a lovely tractor to use when done 😁

    I worked for a construction company that built smoke stacks for power plants. Our hoisting equipment had a ford industrial 5.9 diesel engine? When we were hoisting people, it was restricted to 600 feet per minute. So the hoist was geared so 2750 rpm with a full spool of cable was 600 fpm. There wasn't a speed limit on hoisting materials, so the operators would turn the governors up! I had one that came to the shop that was turning 3800, and I just turned it back down and serviced it and sent it to another job!

  • @liamb86
    @liamb86 2 года назад +5

    For me, I'd choose a Zetor 16045. Reason? When you're six years of age standing beside one, it is absolutely huge. And the noise was just unreal. So in a nut shell, I'd love one purely for the memories I have of when I was a child. Couldn't care about realibility, sore on diesel, etc. and for my son to experience the same now would be amazing. Also, good vid as usual.

  • @jimclements3190
    @jimclements3190 2 года назад +5

    Two spring to mind for me, 1986 Fiat 160/90 which I operated for a farmer on a large veg farm nr Lincoln, it was the main tractor for ploughing (6 furrow Dowdswell and lempkin press), Simon three bed bed former,and Hesston 4800 Baler. Fiat was replaced half way through 1989 with a Massy 3680 which in its day was bloody awesome ,Datatronic, and all that came with that spec.Both special to me ,as a driver ,best one? Massy all day long but closer than you think. Have a good Christmas Mucka and thanks for all you do mate.😃👍

    I would go for the fendt favorit 612lsa. Being small child and spending a lot of time on a ford8100 tool then to have a massive passenger seat was great. Many yrs later I’m working amfor an agco dealer working on modern fendts. How ever I’m the first to jump when the old school stuff rolls In. Still have the pleasure of playing with 611-615 and even tool carriers.👍👍

  • @IdiotBumpkin
    @IdiotBumpkin 2 года назад +8

    The tractor I would love the most is a Same explorer 80 or a 90 there's just something about them that does it for me and they sound unreal too, other than that it'd be a Leyland 2100 which I believe was built up until 1980 so it barely qualifies and I would like it simply because of the memories my dad has of his friends one driving the trailed harvester and to let him relive that again.

    What a good insight into pricing a revamp/restoration. A couple of years back I did an International 674 (mongrel) it wasn't in a good way (rolling scrap). I did my sums like you then went for it, total cost around £10,000 mark.
    The classic I'd have is a red and cream International 956xl British spec. Absolutely brilliant tractor.

    I said to myself about 350 quid when you asked about the silencer, & then close near crapped my laundry when you said how much. Then I did the exchange to the Canadian Peso & about near fell off my chair $1479.39 for a freaking muffler. I love my old trucks & stuff but that is just insane. I can't justify that to myself never mind the Missus. She would hand me my head & tell me to blow out the dust. Great video. Old tractors like old cars or trucks are expensive.

    Classic tractor prices in the US have skyrocketed in the last 2 years. Have looked @ some of the UK dealers w/ sizable export operations & those values for classic machines are rather inflationary compared to just 5 years ago. Although not classic models, you know Wes Pandy made some attractive UK purchases not long ago.

  • @sparrowlegs8439

    Lord Muck, i would love to re own at John Deere 3040 2wd sg2 cab, i bought a X reg one as a toy back in 2003 but it soon got me going with my own contracting business, i used it for arable work and then put it on a hedge cutter and served me well for 6 years, put 5000 hrs on it and sold it for £500 more than i bought it for, the one regret is selling it, would love to own one again (currently have a JD 2450 as a toy) but long for a 3040, true power of the 80's everyone says you need 4wd, i managed fine with 2wd in the floods of 2008, its a case of drivers and screw drivers!

    Lucky enough to own a 7810 Ford and recently a 6410 Ford both gen 3. My dad had a 7810 jubilee when new when he was still dairy farming this was traded for a 7840 this was sold when he sold the cows. When I was a kid he bought a 6810 which I loved and always wanted a 7810 to go with it, the 6810 was sold but is still local. Then I bought my 7810 from Forsyth farm work in Warwickshire one owner tractor in 2015 and fully restored it before prices boomed and have recently bought the 6410 from France with 3300h on very tidy example. Personally I love the super q cab it’s still a comfy and quiet cab even by today’s standards

    1980 massey 240. Why? Because I had the opportunity to buy it with a genuine 460 hours on it. It was previously a grass mower with brackets for a belly mount and was offered with grass tyres. The story goes it was ex mod stationed on Gibraltar air field but I have yet to find actual proof of that. It now lives in semi retirement being occasionally used with a transport box for moving the odd sheep or logging jobs. It's only fault was needing a new fuel tank as bits of shite got into the pump. It's a beautiful thing.

  • @stephenross1581
    @stephenross1581 2 года назад +1

    I think for me it would be a 956XL, was the main tractor I grew up with, spent a summer on one, ploughing, working land and 3 weeks solid leading spuds, it was a cracking time in my life that I would give my right arm to relive now, good times good kit and even better memories.

  • @MrWilbert001
    @MrWilbert001 2 года назад +5

    It wouldn’t win many popularity contests but for me it would be a zetor 10145 with the Duncan cab. When I was 16 my father owned one, it had its faults the gearbox took some mastering and when the brakes warmed up you had none but when you pushed the lever forward at the steering wheel to knock it up to 40k it felt like you were doing 60mph and with little to no brakes it left life interesting but would still love one back in the yard.

    @marklaverty95 2 года назад +2

    We had a 2wd mf690 fitted with a turbo. I think she was putting out about 90hp. Fantastic little tractor that definitely punched above her weight. Gear box worked flawlessly and the cab was such a nice place to do a days work. The note and whistle coming out the exhaust was top notch. Obviously had rust issues and a few oil leaks here and there. Also had a knack to starting it on a "cold" morning. All things considered my favourite tractor I've operated from that era.

Whenever I could hear that distinctive exhaust note working nearby where I lived I’d pester my parents to go for a watch. And me dad knowing couple of driver I’d sometimes get to go for a ride.

    I'm a Fendt-guy. Always have been. Grew up with and on the Fendt Farmer series, working on my granddad's farm. Other boys would work on farms for money -- I did it for free just because I driving tractors (especially Fendts) so much! Thus, I would like to own a Fendt Favorit 611 LSA. I would have loved to have one of those on the farm! However, my granddad and my uncle found them to be too expensive and too big. Yet, for me, a 611 ticks all the boxes: was built during the 80's, 6.2 litre straight six, comfy cab, great sound, enough power (more than enough for me) and just beautiful enough to pull up a chair to and look at it after a hard days work.

    I think for me it would have to be one of the late County tractors something like a 1474, mostly because my earliest childhood tractor memories are of my dad driving a County in a sand quarry near Charing in Kent and being totally in awe of what was at the time an absolute monster of a tractor. Sadly the prices of even really rough Countys are now way above my price range so I’m not likely to ever own one but the contribution made to British and worldwide agriculture by County and other 4wd conversion companies like them really is in my mind somewhat under appreciated.

    Hi Lord M, now of the age when we bought new in the 80s so lived, worked, (ploughing matched a couple of I think classics, Mercedes MBtrac 900 and Same 90 explorer 2, classic lightweight livestock/arable tractors.
    Great informative video again 👍

    I've got a '83 International 1056 and an '88 John Deere 3050 here. Now I know that the 3050 is the superior tractor, and I still do a lot of work with it, in fact the hedgecutter is probably going on it later this week. BUT, my old 1056 has so many memories: I bought it when I was 19, with the proceeds from working a silage season then a straw baling season with contractors, then made over 100,000 round bales with it with a succession of balers over the years, as well as running a couple of hundred acres of arable with it. Obviously I already have it, but it's overdue it's 15,000 hour service, and needs a complete restoration, which I'll start very soon, in fact, hopefully this decade!!!

    Don't know if you class it as a "real" tractor, but a Ford 1500 would be ideal for looking after a few acres at the stables and small enough to live in the storage tent we have.

    Great video Mucka, no nonsense breakdown of the cost. For me I would have to say Ford 8210 with the super Q Cab, when I was a young pup local contractors always had a fleet of 8210s in Q cab and Super Q cab form, carting silage or spreading Slurry the Look and raw sound of the 6 cylinder always brings back fond memories of the good ole days.👍

    Always loved the sound off a 6 cylinder ford then over a few years off saving I got the opportunity to buy a 8200 but the cab was rough so between welding and interior and 2 windows an seat I think it cost me £2500 tho it's not perfect but it's in a good usable condition now but it's scary how much u can spend

    Great video. Watching you from across the pond in Canada. But as a teenager I lived in Cumbria and helped out on weekends and holidays at a local dairy farm so a lot of these tractors were on the local farms in my area. I dont see them much now because many of them were never sold in North America. 3350s and 7810s are rare over here. Instead its mainly 7710s, 6610s and 8210s in that size for Ford and 2955s, 3150s, 3140s, 2950s for Deere. One tractor they had on the farm I worked on which I loved and again you dont find in North Amerca was a Case 1694 with the Hydra Shift. i think thats what they called it. It was such a nice tractor to drive and that would probably be my choice for a UK tractor from the 80s

    I think modern tractors are for contractors, classic tractors are great for farmers and collectors for investments or a hobby, I run a fleet of classics and get told by modern tractor owners that I should buy a new one 🙄. I really couldn’t care less for a new one, just because a tractors new doesn’t mean it doesn’t break down.

    I would have many tractors from the 80’s ranging from Valmet, Massey, Deere, Case and Fendt but since I like being a little Different; the classic tractor I would love to own would be a Same Hercules 160. Not very common but they were a strong tractor, mainly for cultivations. They were also used in forestry around Europe due to their weight, high torque and low maintenance.

    The real cost is quite Deere, not unafFORDable, a CASE of FENDTing the spare brass and even at INTERNATIONAL level going on trips to NEW HOLLAND with an old MASSEY could be a steep MUIRHILL to climb. However, STEYERing on the subject I believe you don't need to be as rich as Catherine ZETOR Jones or have an Aston Martin DAVID BROWN 7 in the garage to visit mount Kubota in Japan with your old McCormick!
