The worst problem with the Fordsons was their proclivity to roll over backwards thanks to their worm-gear differential. This was a particular problem on the hilly ground where we farmed. A great-uncle nearly had his arm crushed when the Fordson he was operating caught one wheel in a broken-off fence post. The differential also produced such extreme heat when under load that the operator's "behind would get blisters" (according to my dad). Maybe an exaggeration, but it couldn't have been enjoyable.
As a Ferguson and Massey Ferguson collector and user, I highly recommend disagree with Your documentary. True, the hydraulic system was designed around the three point hitch ( Ferguson System ) but the system could be tapped for auxiliary use. The main engine for the Tractors, built in the US, was Continental. After Massey purchased Perkins Engine in 1959, They started using Perkins ever increasingly. In summary, I have hardly any problems with the issues exemplified in the video. Fergieman
MF 35 had a big problem for decades. Mechanical brakes as they wore, would stop you when going forward, but would not stop you if going backwards. My dad's best friend died when his 135 stalled and the brakes failed as he crested a steep hill. The tractor rolled backward, and hit a small tree, flipping the tractor over.
You tend to forget "state of the art" in your evaluation especially in your comments about the Holt Caterpillar units, if the crawlers would bog down imagine what would happen to the narrow wheeled units of the time.
@@HeavyMachinery2207 Your comment precisely explains why this video is replete with inaccurate info and comments clearly made out of sheer ignorance. The Internet is not an accurate source of information -- personal experience and testimonials from a wide variety of actual tractor users is much more accurate. Oh, but that would require a lot more work.........! LOL!!! Personally, I will not spend another minute watching any of your videos.
@@HeavyMachinery2207 Ahhh, many of these tractors were sold when you had a choice of one of these, or a -- - - horse, ( I should say,, a team of horse's. ) With a tractor you only had to worry about one idiot. With a team you had to worry about three idiots. While the tractors of that time frame did leave something to be desired, from what I remember, horse's did as well.

Thank you for your comments
I own a '62 MF-35 and it is a workhorse with the 3cyl Perkins. The only drawback to mine is no power steering!

Thank you for watching the video

Thanks for your comments
As tone deaf as this video is, I am surprised that they didn't refer to the Fordson as a Hoyt-Clagwell.
5 models picked at random, then called shit boxes. Choice of mf35 proves that.
We rely on information on the internet to come up with the list as shown in the video
