- In this weeks video we look at all 17 tractors on the farm ( actually 16 and a forklift) but who is counting. Main jobs, horse power, how did they end up here and what are the future plans for them. I did want to do this as part of last weeks video but it would have made the video too long, so here it is.
That's a great collection of Massey Ferguson tractors. As someone who watches Grassmen and John McClean from Farmflix i find it staggering to see how many people are John Deere on the brain and would run down Massey in a heartbeat. OK some of the Massey ranges gave problems but that's the same in every brand. Its good to see a Northern Ireland man having pride in a tractor which has its very DNA in this country. Yourself and the Killen brothers are the only ones i see flying the Massey Ferguson flag (Farmer Phil here in the republic is also a Massey man). We are Massey men also. In my time i remember 135,165,168,185,188, 2 x 575's,590,690,698,699,390,398,399 tractors on the farm and today we still have a 3080,4255,4345 and 5465. Our fleet is getting old but they will have to do for a while yet cos you would need to win the lottery to be able to buy anything new.
Thanks Ollie, thats some range of tractors you have had over the years. I would actually like to add a 42 or 43 series to mine as these were the last out of Banner Lane. I think both the cost of new and even older tractors has gone through the roof.
Your Sunday videos have become the highlight of the weekends, thanks for doing them👍🏻
Thanks Kevin, Im glad you are enjoying them.👍
Cathal does his own stunts
Great collection there Cathal. Lovely to hear a bit of history about them. The best bit for me tho is that they all have their place on the farm and still do a bit when needed not just gathering dust in a collection.
Agreed. Keep them active and enjoy them.
Thanks Eamon. 👍. Yes they all still have a job, big or small. 😊
lots of 590.s do that with the doors . she looks great . and yes spot on with the hp.. only thing that lets then down is the steering
Yes steering can be a bit "slappy" although we did the whole steering up in her about 10 years ago which took a lot of the slack out of it. Just need to sort out the door.
Great video, as usual, lovely to hear the history, keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
A lot of memories from te20s,fe35, 65 and 590 and use to drive a 6290 for an old boss, now plenty of projects. great shed full of kit.👍
Thanks Mark. As you say plenty of projects.😁
This video was one of my favourites of your vids. Very interesting to hear the background and history of these beautiful tractors. Loved it 👍
Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it. Been meaning to do that video for a long time.👍
Great video, really enjoyed the walk around the tractor shed and seeing all those lovely classic Masseys! Models such as the 590 & 290 especially bring back great memories as they are the models I used to drive when I was in my teens. As for the 3075, I always wanted one ever since they came out.
Thanks David. Bit like you I seen a 3075 away back in the late 90s cutting silage on a neighbours farm and thought they were fantastic looking tractor.
Great video Cathal. U need to get a 135, then you have the complete collection😊
Thanks Paul. 135 would be a nice addition to the collection and a very useful little tractor.👍
Great video , I had a 698T some years ago I loved the tractor but it got hard to start so I moved it on for a 6270 as well as a 8220 great tractors , I came across a 390t two years ago it was unloved where it was and is hard to start probably needs a set of sleeves and pistons, my late father's first tractor was a used petrol grey Fergie then he purchased a new TEF20 1955/56 later on a 35 three cylinder so I was born into the Ferguson stable like yourself😁
Thanks John. 390T will defo be worth of fixing and straightening out.😃
Good video have a 1980 590 2 wheel drive great tractor great reliable tractor still going strong
Thanks Kevin. Great going old tractor the 590👍
Great video just subscribed 👍
Thanks, 👍 and thank you for the sub.😀👍
Interesting video! I have a working fleet of fergys too, albeit a bit bigger ones. 3075, 2x6480, 7618, 7490, 7495, 7620 & 7720 in the working fleet, which has grown in size because we've added to the fleet rather than replace with new since prices have gone silly. We have a more random fleet of almost retired classics too - Ford 5600, Renault 551, International 454 and an auld Major.
And a 135, how could I forget the 135!!
Thanks, thats quite the fleet you have there. As you say the price of new has gone through the roof, but the price of second hand is now also sky rocking. 👍😃
Good man a beautiful collection, grew up on steep ground, I’d rather top with the 135 than a cab tractor, put oil on the rust
Thanks Aidan and good tip.👍
Thanks, great informative vid.
Thanks Adrian. 👍👍
Nice one Cathal all looking well in the new shed
Thanks Gearoid.👍
@@FlyingFergyMan Great to see them indoors especially near the sea and this rain ☔
If the rain keeps up we will need to swap them for boats!!!!
Great video, super collection of reds there. Nice to hear the history of the tractors to. 👍🙏
Thanks 👍
Fantastic collection
Wow and it’s amazing that you have such a great connection with each one.
Hard knowing which ones to tidy up,which ones to restore and which ones to leave in there work clothes as they say.
Once you start you gotta keep going 😂😂
Great job with the video keep them coming 👌
Thanks Philip. Agreed it is hard to know whether to restore or leave as original.👍👍
Great video Cathal nice to see all the tractors 👍
Thanks Philip.😃
Lot of moneys worth there, great collection, great video.. can you do a video of your diggers and maybe that harvester, is it a jf?
Thanks Daniel. I will do a video on the old silage kit that includes that MF harvester (mex 6 with MF badges). Will do something on the diggers as well when I get time. 👍👍
Super collection Cathal. Some lovely original looking fergies there.. Are there any models you want to add to the collection?.
Thanks Alan. Goal is to have one from each series that MF built and marketed in UK-Ireland starting from the Grey Fergy up to the 62 series. Would love a 6150 although the 61 series got a bit of a poor rep. Would also love a 2000 series but these are hard to find now and from the prices at the sale yesterday in England they are now crazy money. 43 or 42 series also be nice as they are the last of the Coventry tractors. 90-90 or 100-90 Fiat would be super to have as I drove one years ago and loved it.
@@FlyingFergyMan Excellent.. So the next building to go up will be a museum 🤣
The whole place is a museum Alan.🤣🤣
@FlyingFergyMan They are a great investment.. Better than cash in the bank 👍
Love the video
Thanks Abbie.😃👍
Great vid today
Thanks Barry👍
What acollection!I use a Massey 165 on my small twenty acre stable,having contractors for heavier jobs.
Thanks Brian. 165 is a great old work horse.👍
Have you still got the Peugeot 309 van for sale?
The 309 car yes still in the shed
@@FlyingFergyMan how much are you looking for it and where are you based
No idea on cost but send me your email address and i will email you some pics etc. Now that the shed is empty we can pull it out and have a better look at it.
@@user-vu5sm3fl1v Co Antrim

Thanks for the Tip. 👍👍
Nice shed tidy tractors
Thanks 👍
The farm of many tractors😊
Its getting the drivers thats the problem William.😁😁
After watching the video New Sub 👍
Thanks Bob and welcome to the channel. 👍
@@FlyingFergyMan first tractor as a young farm worker was an FE35, then a 35x then a 65,then 135, then a 148 then 165, then 575 4wd then 595, then 698 with Opico turbo she was a beast 💪💪 then the 2000 series which were a fantastic draft tractor, our neighbours farm had a 1200 and got the chance to work the 2640 alongside it and it just made a fool of the 1200 especially when turning with a Dowdeswell DP8 reversible on the steeper ground much more stable and also seemed to pull better when ploughing uphill 🤔💪💪👍
@@bobpaterson1845Hi Bob that’s very interesting history and very interesting that the 2640 eclipsed the 1200. Id like a 2000 series for the collection but I am a big 1200 fan to😊.
Some fleet tractors had 168.from new 4000 pound cut terror silage on jf single chop.great tractor until put loader.on it home.made grab far too big it few years later recked
Thanks Gerry. That's a pity about the 168, the front axel was just not strong enough I suppose for the heavy loader.
Good stuff!
Cheers Pete, hope you feeling better??👍
6265 are on paper should be 115 hp, I had one for 2 years but never really liked it, but also had a 6280 and she was a great work horse pulled well
Funny you say that Richard as I did not like the 6265 when it came, but it kind of grew on me when the 3075 was off line. 6280 super machine.
The 6265 had a loader, it replaced a 390 loader tractor. We also had a 3065 which was replaced with a 52 plate 6270 which was a great tractor then we got 51 plate 6280 which I used daily for hauling mushroom compost in 12 ton silage trailer which ther 53 plate 6265 wasn't quite the same on it, It lacked the grunt on the hills. Then the final one to the collection was a 54 plate 6480 which was ok but I didn't like the cab suspension.
May i ask y do ye buy so much tractors
I like collecting the reds Sean, but also they appreciate in value which is never a bad thing.👍😃
First comment? I’ll take it…
yip first man across the line.😁
Having watched the video, I reckon you could do with a few more tractors…
You cant have too many Classic Tractors Mike, just look at the prices in yesterdays sale.😁😁. Might need another shed though!!!!!
@@FlyingFergyMan get rid of the cattle out of that shed beside the new tractor shed. The future is Ferguson’s…
@@78mikehayes Might not be a bad idea Mike, but id get rid of the sheep first..🤣
🇮🇪🇮🇪👏👏🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks Greg.👍😁
