    We run a couple 4880s still on our farm, they pull 80ft of heavy harrows as well as 50ft of anhydrous cultivator, or “chisel plow” as the Americans say. We’ve had great luck with them, ran them for over twenty years and the only major part we needed to replace was the hydraulic pump, they pull hard and work great! From Saskatchewan Canada

    As a massey ferguson nut I find this video absolutely brilliant.
    For me the big articulating tractors are my favourite. You don't see many of them in the UK but I am lucky to know a man with a mf4840 that is his pride and joy.
    Great video.

    I always like the videos the old moldboard plows.
    I farm in eastern Iowa and I’m young enough (around 30) that I don’t think I’ve ever seen one being used in a field around where I’m at as far back as I can remember. It seems most people went the chisel plow+disc route 40 years ago here, or the big guys use a disc ripper.

    We owned one of the 4880 tractors. The 903 Cummins was quite an engine, with lugging power unmatched at the time, the 18 spd transmission was great, you could always find a speed/gear to get the job done. We had a 10 bottom White plow, then added an 11 bottom White plow so we had 21 bottoms turning dirt at one time, made easy work out of 80 acre fields. During the spring we pulled ft 25 ft, field cultivator with an Unverferth rolling basket harrow.

  • @Deathwish682

    My grandfather bought a 4880 new, last tractor he bought before passing the farm to my uncle. My dad put many hours on it, mostly used for tillage work. One day while pulling the chisel, and with a Dodge pickup behind that, it snapped the power shaft while climbing a curved road up a tall hill in road gear. No way to stop it at that point, freewheeled back down the hill. Totaled the Dodge when it jackknifed but kept the rest straight. Traded in 1992 for both a JD 4650 and 4850 MFWD shortly before I came into the picture.

  • @touchofgrey8922
    @touchofgrey8922 4 роки тому +1

    My son and I bought one and only used it one year. Too bad, our 4880 is all pimped out with extra live hyd. (atom jet) for running an air drill, and a sat-loc gps auto steer as well. We shut down our farm for lack of land. Tractor sits beside the hi-way with a for sale sign on it. We want 20k cad for it, but I guess it's easier to lease new ones. Cab and paint are rough on ours. My son has a paint shop, so its getting hauled to his place for paint, cab kit and some luvin. Lol!! Price after the work will be 30k cad. Try finding 325 hp with these options on a lease...for that $ you won't. Tractor is located in Sask. Canada. Always enjoy your videos with that "take no prisoners sound 903 V-8". Lol!! TOG out!!

    It's a screamer for sure... Sounds kinda like a Scania V8. Think I would have harrowed it first. Would have buried the trash a little better. Only problem with those plows is it takes a big area to turn them around. Think he needs a little more weight. Started power hopping some. That tractor has been a few rounds in it's day.

    • @bigtractorpower
      @bigtractorpower  4 роки тому

      The IH 700 and 800 plows are high clearance so shredding or disking stalks is not really necessary with them. A few stalks sticking up is normally. If it was wheat they would all be birdied. This 250 bu corn so there are tough stalks. This ground had not had rain for a few weeks so there were some tough spots of the tractor to work through.

    Ploughing/plowing is expensive, I like to see old soil turned over and fresh soil on top ,but I like to see the all the rubbish buried and if the plough/ plow is set up correctly you shouldn't see any rubbish especially if the plough is fitted with skimmers, the operator hasn't set his plough properly, he would be better off pulling a chisel plough or a set of reel discs. All the very best ,
