    She's a joy to listen to.....her love of the land, cattle and her little girl.....the Massey.

    That little tractor has got some wonderful charm to her that the big fancy ones are lacking.

    Fantastic episode Roo and Sarah...!
    I have the same affinity for our 1961 IH 460U. Best little utility tractor we’ve ever had on our farm. Starts EVERY time, no matter how cold. Is easy on fuel. Requires little more than routine maintenance and goes, goes, goes! We are the second owner. The fellow who originally had the tractor put less than 1,500 hours on her in all the time he owned her. Her tin is blemished, bumped, bruised and randy, but she keeps doing everything we ask of her.
    Stay healthy, safe and alert. Crazy times, for sure.
    Cheers!
    Whipple

    Love the fact that she loves the finer things in life, so easy to see what's available and spend money on something you might never truly appreciate. Someone needs to get her a radio though lol, I think she really wants one every video to do with tractors has been I don't have a radio. Respect as alway's and keep up the good video's really enjoy sitting here watching them with a drink and something to eat

  • @aaronlennoncorcoran7042
    @aaronlennoncorcoran7042 4 роки тому

    We have a 575 Massey Ferguson similar to that. It's the main tractor on our farm does everything from dung spreading to topping and everything in between for a 42 year old tractor it's never let us done and when it's eventually retires I hope to have it restored

    It's a Massey Ferguson 565, the model between the 550 and 590. It replaced the 165. My family love your videos and I have driven past your farm many times.

    MF 550 or maybe 560, one of the better Massey ferguson, you can always trust the 100, 200, 300, and 500 series

  • @killthebums
    @killthebums 4 роки тому

    They’re awful tractors compared to the competition, back end was too light so you had no grip, hence why it has a massive weight on it, the gearbox robbed the power from the Perkins, and the cabs were just horrible, there’s a reason you see far more fords, fiats and John Deere’s of that era

    • @jamesmellor8642
      @jamesmellor8642 4 роки тому +1

      John deere was one door, fords had tight space to squeeze through the door, definitely a quieter cab than the others, most underrated tractors I feel
