Nice video….Shelby did super and what a fun attitude. Definitely the person I would want making the first impression for my business. I can’t count the number of times I’ve turned around and left places who have bad attitude employees…..I agree Shelby needs to be back….teaching her teaches us all.
How many secretaries can say their boss took time out of their day to teach them how to drive a tractor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? I wish I was 40 years younger, I would love to work for you. Keep up the great videos.
Interesting video...the largest tractor I've ever driven is my BX2680....even for me that was a bit of a learning curve coming from a lawn/garden tractor background....you don't realize how much power even a sub-compact tractor has until you've ran into something with it that would simply stop or stall a lawn/garden tractor. I couldn't imagine jumping into the operator's seat of that New Holland as my first tractor, all the buttons and such on that thing would be quite the shock I'd imagine. But after watching Shelby it really seems pretty simple once you learn what the buttons do, and what controls what function. Neil, more of these types of videos please....Absolutely nothing against Shelby or any other newbie at all, it takes a lot of courage to jump into the operator seat of anything like that for the first time, and she did great. I'm sure if you put that tractor out in a field somewhere with an implement behind it and turned her loose she'd be able to run that tractor pretty good after a few hours. It takes seat time in order to get proficient at operating equipment like that for sure....even after a year and a half with my tractor, I'm still learning stuff on it, and I'm sure by now have forgotten a lot since its been sitting since the beginning of November, and probably will continue to do so until about April when things dry out enough that I can use it again without sinking to the axles LOL.
My first tractor was an L4400(still is). Before that, the most I had ever dealt with was the old Forrest Gump style snapper rider. Getting used to it was a HUGE learning curve. I was used to the little 10 horse briggs on the rider and thought "what can this puny 44hp motor do in something THIS big?!" Turns out, it can do quite a lot.
Would've been epically hilarious to add a segment where the tractor was acting like a monster truck and crushing cars in the "employee" parking lot. She did a pretty decent job of driving a big tractor for the first time. Is still a boyhood dream of mine to drive the big tractors. Grew up with the farm toys. Farmed a gazillion acres as a kid.
I wish Shelby had been where I was working years ago when I thought I knew how to drive a forklift and I tried to place a skid on a rack and accidentally hit a water pipe and broke it.
A huge thank you to Shelby for agreeing to be filmed while learning to drive such a complicated tractor. The video was great.
More Tractor Time With Shelby!
Shelby deserves a raise now that she's demonstrating the equipment.
🤣
Awesome video - I think you need to start a recurring segment named "Driving equipment with Shelby". She was awesome!
Agreed!!!
What a friendly, happy, pleasant woman! wonderful video!
That's a great description of her.
Shelby is a real gem! Better keep her around for future sales and demo work!
Learning never ends.
That was fun. Nice job, Shelby!
Loved it! She has such a great attitude, and apparently, aptitude as well! Nice job. 👍😎
Love those New Hollands. Thank you both for sharing.

You forgot the most important rule.
1. Always go slow in low gear with a wide implement when people behind you have to use the restroom.
Great Job Shelby, that would be intimidating to anyone who has never drove a large tractor.
Thats so cool! Very patient teacher too... Would love to have a go myself one day!
Great job Shelby!
She’s awesome! Great job!!!
Way to go Shelby, you're a keeper!
That was awesome! Thanks, Shelby.

That was fun. Good job, Shelby. 👍
Awesome great job young Lady!
Shot out to Shelby you were great hope to see you in more videos
Way to go Mom Shelby, , but you have a very good instructor as well. Great video guys.
That was really interesting! I had no idea that driving with the joystick was even possible.
Best video yet😁
Great video, Neil, the lady did a great job!👍🏻
Awesome video!! When you guys starting laughing, ,, I started cracking up too!! Good times
Fun video, thanks Shelby
Gotta learn some how!
I wish Shelby had been where I was working years ago when I thought I knew how to drive a forklift and I tried to place a skid on a rack and accidentally hit a water pipe and broke it.
So cool. Great video.
I want a turn!
Next video: Shelby learns to parallel park! 😀
Do tractors have seat belts?
I didn’t know a tractor could move at 34 mph!
It's a tortoise and a hare not a turtle and a rabbit
Weren’t New Holland tractors once upon a time Ford tractors?
