    Beautiful video that reminds me of my childhood back in the 1960s spending my summer at my uncles farm. Very reminiscent of those old British Pathe films too.

    International 440 , probably the best small square baler ever made.
    Nice to see period equipment doing a great job...takes me back 50 years.

    This brings back fond memories of haymaking with the Nuffield 460.
    I remember my old man upgrading from a KM 22 to a KM25 mower causing wheels in the air excitement for the old Nuffield!
    Marking the beginning of the end for the old girl!
    I learned to drive on her and I wish I had her and my Dad back again for one more summer!

      I cut , raked and baled hay for five years in the late fifties and early sixties with a BMC Nuffield 460 and a B55 international wire tie baler, that's when bales were bales, such a reliable tractor only problem we ever had was having to change rear axle seals every couple of years , cheers from Tasmania

    My friend Simon rebuilt a little orange Nuffield sold it off and bought five Belarus things so that he could leave an attachment on each one and save constantly changing them on and off again, they were noisy and vibrated, a copy of an old International engine I believe. Happy days with him doing bale cart and corn cart, straw chopping, drilling, ploughing etc. he left us at only 50 years of age.

    I spent several haymaking seasons with a 460 - loved it. I can’t remember the model but we had an old Massey Ferguson baler, a Wuffler and a borrowed Acrobat !! Happy days.

  • @shankarbalan3813

    Massey Ferguson tractors are common even now in India. They have always been an integral part of the scenery around the tea and coffee estates in South India as far as I can remember.

    It's quite dangerous to stand that close to a rotary mower, IMO.
    I've seen the damage caused when one of the knives flies off.

      peter james So true, poor nutritional value though, more like belly fill. Lovely video though!!!!!

    • @williamoloughlin8298
      @williamoloughlin8298 4 роки тому

      far too late, cut when heads beginning to show, more energy in the grass. When it goes to seed head, the plant has done its job and the nutritional value is less.

    • @peterjames2004
      @peterjames2004 4 роки тому +1

      you say that but when a grass plant goes to seed the plant with the seed head dies and a cotyledon that is coming from under starts to grow so you should get a free reseed and some fresh growth coming on to make fill with a little bit of energy for store cattle to keep going over for the following year when they get turned out to grass
