- VERSATILE 1150 Tractor working ground in December
Recent video I shot of a Versatile 1150 tractor pulling a 40 foot wide Versatile Fury High Speed Disk near Washington Court House Ohio.
Merry Christmas Mike Less
That big disc is giving the tractor a good workout.
I love these old tractors growling along under a load! The sound they make is MUSIC! Unlike the new stuff. It all sounds like over speeding leaf blowers!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to You!
Marry Christmas

Happy New Year Mike
Beautifully shot video Mike, once again a joy to watch, your drone footage is excellent! 🇬🇧
That’s doing a hell of a nice job. Merry Christmas Mike and thanks for all that you do.
Very very nice Mike
Awesome video once again. Love the drone coverage... I think you are the best at this on farming videos. To me it seems like you are talking directly to me. Thanks for sharing Mr. Farmhand. You got love those videos by that Mike Less guy on UA-cam.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the heart. Always looking for your videos. Love when you share.
Awesome video and I can't imagine a better deal than old iron pulling new iron for the holiday's. Merry Christmas everyone and God bless
Cool video. Always enjoy seeing older iron doing tillage. Great drone footage as always Mike. Two thumbs up 👍👍
Merry Christmas farm hand mike

Merry Christmas to You!
There aren't many of them around anymore. I used to see one by Sleepy Eye MN.
1150 is very nice 👌
Thanks Farm hand
Great to see these old high horsepower tractor footage, big tractors in their day . Sounds awesome. Had some operating in the Moree district, New South Wales Australia.
Is this particular machine Powershift or Manual?
Best Wishes to you and family for a very Merry and safe Christmas,
thanks for the memories. Love your work 👍
Thanks 👍. Merry Christmas to you!
It is the 8 speed manual transmission
I noticed with some of the older versatile tractors that the muffler is at the end of the hood but other older model its by the cab, was there a reason for this?
They were out front from factory.
And another question for such a big tractor why is the cultivation tool so small ? Mike less
Small? This disk is 40 foot wide and is the biggest one.
Lol, not to mention it's about all the old girl wants!
These high speed discs are very heavy, and you really do have to pull then fast for best results. I’d say this 1150 has all it can take
That's cool jannson,s farm our farm
Big tractor! Nice unit, that disc does a nice job, did ford have interest in versatile
Mike may be able to answer better, but Ford-New Holland bought Versatile in the mid-late 1980's and put their name on the tractors until right around 2001-2002 I believe. When the Case-IH and New Holland merger came about in 2001 they sold off the Versatile line to John Buhler in Winnipeg, when it became Buhler Versatile. That's about when we started as a Versatile dealer. We started in Nov/Dec 2003 if I remember correctly.
Thanks chris! Good info ill have to stop down at the dealership sometime!
How long has versatile been using Cummins power?
Since they started. 1963ish?
@@cmayerMFE they started in 66 actually, but since 67 I think because the D-100 had a Ford diesel
@@nellsonstout7001 Forgot the first ones had the Ford diesel. Thanks for the reminder.
That's a great sounding tractor. No idea if any ever made it to Europe? I've certainly never seen one.
Versatile only made 100,000 of those articulating tractors...so I would assume they could be a few in europe, while most are here and the land of canucks.
Farmers in europe are using versatile, but they aren’t using the articulated tractor...it’s said to be “the nemesis of the articulated versatile”. Pretty good looking tractor and the classic yellow and red colors. Note- i’ve been looking while posting and just found this bit of information.
I remember a couple in the neighbor hood years ago.
Is this the same one like the one that was on welker farms
It is
Different tractor, same model
Straight pipe would drive me nuts.
J like hem in color ford blue
Top stroj! :D :D
👍👍👍👍
For 'high speed' implement, it's not going very 'fast'? Looks to b getting job done tho
As heavy as the ground is that's the only gear we could pull it in. Next gear up is 9mph and that 1150 didn't like pulling that tool at that speed. The Fury is an excellent tool, but it can make today's biggest tractors really work at the higher speeds. It was running between 6 and 7mph in the video I believe.
@@cmayerMFE still working!! Awesome
@@cmayerMFE Thanks for the explanation. Seems marginally wet for doing tillage. Prolly either go that day or wait til spring. Id make the same choice as you
@@cmayerMFE is there fluid in the tires? These suckers only weigh about as much as a panther 1000 and I can’t imagine a tractor in that weight range pulling a 40’ fury
@@nellsonstout7001 no fluid that I can tell, but we haven't pulled tires since we have it. Speed helps the weight problem
First person
Nope not didn’t see a comment
I miss the monsters!
Merry Christmas
Video is 11:50 long😄
Nice easter egg
Sat nav eco lovely all inclusive non binary tractors don't have the same impact!!
Hey Mike, great video! We just picked up an 1150 ourselves up in central Alberta Canada. Wondering if you know of a good place to source parts from for these old girls.
Very very nice jason
Lol who’s Jason?
@@farmhandmike people mistake Jason (BTP) for you, but this is the first time I’ve seen it the other way around 😂
@@nellsonstout7001 Yes not sure why that is.
Nice video but try that in Saskatchewan in December lol
That big horse had 475hp at the low end an you could feed it more oats to easy make it 550hp or more . It was a beast . Still can remember when I was ALOT YOUNGER running it , power for days .
Sweet tractor and sounds great yes they have a awesome tractor collection I got the pleasure of touring their collection a few years ago and for that I thank them it was a good time
The old tractor still sounds pretty strong. Love the straight pipe, make the hair on your neck stand up!!
Just an idea, but to deal with compaction have you considered using a deeper individual plow for each wheel track at the points of wheel contact? 4 individual deeper plows Attached to the current plow being the only modification... or is the compaction not an issue?
Sorry I'm late, great video. That baby looks as good as if it just came off the assembly line. Late Merry Christmas .
As always,another great video.
As soon as I seen the 1150 in the picture I had to see if this was the welkers that you got off them, since it’s not what’s the story on that old girl
* What an excellent 360 fly round at 8:05!
Old school versatile Awesome Merry Xmas Mike from oklahoma

That tractor sounds and looks awesome! Oh to spend some time in the seat of one of them. Quite convenient how long the video was 👍
Awesome Mike 👍
Old school cool
I have spent lots of time in one of those summer fallowing, great video
Great Video, Glad to see another video of a 1150.
Is that the same high speed disc that you were demoing at the farm show earlier this year. It kinda looks like it.
Its the model of disk as the one at the farm show but that was a 30 footer we used at the show.
@@farmhandmike okay thanks I wasn’t sure but I knew it was close to it
Merry Christmas way up there and keep up the great work
Thanks and Merry Christmas to You!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to You!
Love watching these older tractors still working! Merry Christmas Mike!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas “Farmhand”
