My mother is 88 years young and she still ploughs all her own fields. But she thinks this might be her last year on the farm. She told me that milking cow's for 76 years was enough . I don't think she will give it up that easy . To all those ladies getting out there still doing it I take my hat off to you.
Great to see the Muir hills working, I have fond memories of them as I started engineering by working in the factory building them in the late 70’s. Happy days.😃
Brilliant video, can't beat county/ MH power. I ploughed hill fields with a ford 7710, that were so steep that you couldn't have your feet on the floor due to the toolbox sliding across the cab floor
Good old mum, she really knows how to put the Muir-Hill through it's paces. My wife used one in Scotland back in the 1970's. You should give her some front weights like on the Ford. Your stone content appears to match ours!!!
1961 dad had 5 of the brands come to our farm and started them side by side up a slope like that..3 bottom plows..The Ford 800 Select O Speed got to the top first and he bought 2 of them...
Hopefully you had a lot better luck than my neighbors who bought them did. The Troy built one's sold in North America has some serious build issues that, when they failed were whorendusly expensive to fix. Because of that, Ford didn't have any market presence in my neighborhood until after the merger with New Holland.....
Kudo's to your Mom, BUT, when you said very steep hills, I expected to see the Palouse country. Running crawlers on those side hills, will make the hair on your neck stand up! Just watching a hillside combine slide on the slippery stubble, takes your breath away. On some of those hills, we call it, "talking to the angels!" These tractors, would roll over where my family farms.
Beautiful country, looks like the combine was throwing over. We have hills steeper than that but I seeded them to grass. Zero till would be a good option. But I don't know the details. Good video.
Ooooh Look at your Mom go..! Now that's a tractor pull if efer I seed one 4 wheel drive too..! Man look at the wheels spinning in the dirt and still making progress..! I'll bet it takes a Veteran tractor puller to do that..!
Fantastico num and gritty tractor, but those are not steep Hills,in Italy we grow vegetables in those condiction, steep hills must at least be 30% slope.. Have you ever plowed a Land with clods Rolling behind It?
mind watching dad ploughing following along side on a wee quad - he had a 1594 3 furrow reversible kv on - one field had a big hollow wi a long but steep climb out - heavy yellow clay n you got the front wheels lifting for a second or 2 while the draft control sorted itself out - as wee boy it was strange to see something that big wi its front wheels lifting
I like so much that tractors with all four wheels of the same diameter! About old farmers.... Here in Italy I've seen several +80 years old men drive tractors
Just curious the plowing pattern includes uphill dragging? Just didn't seem right especially hearing from videographer how steep it was ... there's gotta be a most efficient way on hills
I am glad to see Mum out plowing. But I hate to tell you that is not steep ground. I am in the Northwest part of the USA. We have steep ground. But keep Mum plowing that will keep her healthy.
How are you dealing with erosion from plowing straight up and down like that??? We've got a couple of fields like that on our farm, and woe be tied the person who didn't plow cross way's because of it. We've got one hugh washout from back around the turn of the last century that one of my great uncles caused because he had had an argument with my great great grandfather about something.... And yes, that's when the family was still pure Irish; it was my grandparents generation back in the 20's & 30's who started marrying outside the neighborhood when the took jobs off the farm... My brother and I were the only kids in our generation to grow up on and help work the place....
It must be in the UK. I don't think the UK gets much heavy rain. They get plenty of rainfall but in small steady falls. In Australia all fields like that would have Soil Erosion Contours to prevent Erosion. Also very few Farmers here now use ploughs. In some Small Crop areas possibly where soils get very badly compacted during harvest. Most Farmers of Grain type crops here now use Zero Till or Minimum Till methods. Often the only mechanical cultivation that happens is when the Crop is planted unless they have a wet harvest that leaves ruts in the ground.
Dodge pickup in bed exhaust, has to be Australia. I hear yall were really first in flight,wilber and orval wright were second,but got credit for being the first.
@@allistairc123 well heck,I thought that's what I heard on there, but I didn't think you would see a dodge pickup in North Ireland. Interesting anyway looked like nice country or area,and I have ancestors from Ireland, the potato famine brought them over here.
Hi madam i want job i can drive i am from Pakistan My mob and whatsaap numbr +923236522651 i am young boy can you give me job ya your relative have job so invite me
Hey guys the ONLY plow I have ever seen with leaf springs on top were built in Norway and Kvernland was the manufacture is that the kind of plow that is behind the Ford??
Good on her. Great to see. Realy steep no. Come plough in New Zealand. I used to.pull three furrows with a 465 Nuffield two wheel drive. It was steep in a Landrover there in Arapuni South Waikato. Some of the best fun was holding her on line sideways or up and down. The diff lock sure earned its keep. Great old English Tractor now. Was brand new in 1970.
I guess they haven't tried no-till planting and skip all this heavy ground work. Nice pulling tractors when farming the old way. How many passes to make soil ready for planting: plowing, disking, harrowing/cultipacker and finally planting. Ag Soil experts say plowing upsets the biodiversity of the soil and exposes ground to erosion. I can see a 3 inch heavy thunderstorm washing all that good soil down those hillsides and forming gullies. No-Till planting...one pass over field and your are done.
I used to plow up much steeper hills than that, the front end would come up until the plow would not let it come higher, would be almost standing straight up which would put all the weight on the back tires , no 4 wheel back then or rops or seat belts LOL , if the tractor did come over you had to be able to jump fast
My mother is 88 years young and she still ploughs all her own fields. But she thinks this might be her last year on the farm. She told me that milking cow's for 76 years was enough . I don't think she will give it up that easy .
To all those ladies getting out there still doing it I take my hat off to you.
Bless her heart!!!
My mum is only 79 but still farms her sheep every day.
Working is what keeps people young and in good health. Retirement homes and communities are for when you want to die.
How is she going now 3 years later?🤔 hope she's fine?!
Her hip is sore these days she's taking it a bit easier but still in good form
She’s 65 years young. That’s what’s keeping her young and strong. Good for her.👍🏻
Kudos to your mother for doing a difficult task on such steep hills. 63 years old and ploughing. GREAT JOB!!
Hats off to your mum!! May she plow for many more decades to come!
Great to see the Muir hills working, I have fond memories of them as I started engineering by working in the factory building them in the late 70’s. Happy days.😃
Hey up that's one good mum you've got there mate
Brilliant video, can't beat county/ MH power. I ploughed hill fields with a ford 7710, that were so steep that you couldn't have your feet on the floor due to the toolbox sliding across the cab floor
Power to those hard worker's from before and God bless your mom power to you and your family
Something tells me , She's seen this RODEO before. 60's don't mean incapable, but rather experienced ! Go ! Mamma Go !
Great video
Loved watching your mum grab that throttle and put it to it. She never hesitated! I was laughing and cheering. 👍
Great video really enjoyed it, God bless y'all and stay safe thanks for sharing 🚜
Nice to hear those 6 cylinder Fords singing and pulling hard👌nice Video got my 👍well done Mother.
When I was in my 30s I used to think 60 was old but now that I’m 61 it isn’t old at all, dang what a woman !
Looks like she's doing a great job :)
Lovely looking muir hill 101.
My dream tractor when I was a child.
she done very well.keep at it for manys years,nice old tractor.
Love watching those tires pull a ripple.
maximum effort
That Muir Hill with the cab was pulling like a champ.
Wow! We didn't have anything like that in the states back then. Amazing!
May the Lord bless her and give her many seasons
Good old mum, she really knows how to put the Muir-Hill through it's paces. My wife used one in Scotland back in the 1970's. You should give her some front weights like on the Ford. Your stone content appears to match ours!!!
Reminded me of my own grandmother when she was at her age. Not with the ploughing, but with the attitude...
👍👍👍

I dig all your tractors!
Commentry is superb 😂👌 "that is one steep hill"
Not even a seatbelt!!! I love it.
The Ford (country)didn’t even know there was a hill until it hit a ditch that was half its size. FORD 🤘😷🤘
Nevys Nova county u mean?
hr
Hard worker like my mother when we used be farmers in Mexico ❤
Kudo's to your Mom, BUT, when you said very steep hills, I expected to see the Palouse country. Running crawlers on those side hills, will make the hair on your neck stand up!

Fantastic mom. Health to her.

We all want a mum like this….😂
She just bout snuffed er. That field looks like a good place to try no-till or reduced tillage
The phrase that came to mind seeing your mother on a charge was, "AVE IT!" Good on her!
God bless her, she OBVIOUSLY loves doing it. Why werent you helping your mom?
what a joy to see old real muscle doing a really good job
She looks way younger than the tractor!😜
God bless you, and your mom, your very lucky because you have your mother.
Ooooh Look at your Mom go..! Now that's a tractor pull if efer I seed one 4 wheel drive too..! Man look at the wheels spinning in the dirt and still making progress..! I'll bet it takes a Veteran tractor puller to do that..!

It looks like she has it sussed, but I'd invest in some type of roll-over protection for the tractor, especially on hills like that

Dang...I love that tractor that your Mother is MAN HANDLING!! A 4WD non rops old school tractor kiling it in the fields!!
I like so much that tractors with all four wheels of the same diameter!

That is a proper worker if I ever saw one.
Some Machine them Muir Hills and Countys!!!- still doin the Do years later !!- Theyd seem like a kings ransom to buy new but Great Value for money !!
Nice job mom. Happy New Year too.
Fair play to the lady she's doing a great job
Bet the runoff and erosion is pretty bad .
Keep the mind active and the body moving and the rest will take care of itself .
Great to see this lady on top of her job on the 101, seems a good yoke to pull here but they are hopeless on the pto.
Get a raised PTO gearbox. Makes all the difference.
A lovely bit of countryside, 63 isn't that old wait till you get there
She sure know how to use equipment to the max!
How come the guys get cabs , rollover protection ,air con but your mother's out in the open ?
Ol Ma knows how to Get It!👌🏻
I am glad to see Mum out plowing. But I hate to tell you that is not steep ground. I am in the Northwest part of the USA. We have steep ground. But keep Mum plowing that will keep her healthy.
I wish I had a county tractor !!!
I have a ford 6600 2wd county made a 4wd conversion that's impossible to find in the States.
I haven't plowed hills in years o do light contour dishing just enough to chop up the cover crop
she is doing well. that tractor is a beast. but maybe a roll cage.
God bless her

Was wondering the same thing
You can tell by the rock protectors going off all the time that there isnt much topsoil left
It must be in the UK. I don't think the UK gets much heavy rain. They get plenty of rainfall but in small steady falls.
In Australia all fields like that would have Soil Erosion Contours to prevent Erosion.

@@skippy5712 we get plenty of rain in the England crops were put late in a lot of places this year because of flooded field's ground was saturated
Very good I like it
What was the fallow period? Looks like some serious grass growth
She's just like us sending it!
She can run the hell out of that deal!
Dodge pickup in bed exhaust, has to be Australia. I hear yall were really first in flight,wilber and orval wright were second,but got credit for being the first.
Northern Ireland!

Gonna wash like hell, should be plowing with the contour! 😌
Same thought I had
Totally agree.
Pretty nice lookin' dirt, I bet it smells good too, love plowing.
Hi madam i want job i can drive
i am from Pakistan
My mob and whatsaap numbr
+923236522651 i am young boy can you give me job ya your relative have job so invite me
Parabens a sua mãe. She does a nice job.
Thats funny. My mum rides a unicycle at work.
You go mum. Keep on farming.
Steep hills, but nice looking soil!
Hey guys the ONLY plow I have ever seen with leaf springs on top were built in Norway and Kvernland was the manufacture is that the kind of plow that is behind the Ford??
I would class it as sideland but that is not steep by no stretch of the imagination..fair play to the lady for doing her bit 👍👍
Show me steeper up hill ploughing please
It was wrecking your nerves to watch your mum going up that bank?..even i would be concerned considering there is no roll bar or cab on it.
For sure
The proper title is My 63 year young mum.
Where is this located? Britain I assume.
Though as nails, the only one without a safety cab or bar😬👍
We quite plowing up and down the hills years ago.
What country it is ? I saw dodge ram ( backstage ) is it U.S. or Canada ?
Northern ireland
Where is this? Where I used to farm all the topsoil would be washed into the dip after the first rains.
Aren't you supposed to plow across the hill so that you don't have massive erosion down the furrows? I get it if it's that steep, just asking.
Ever hear contouring the field or retracing?
Mum is a hard working young lady!! What is getting ready to be planted?
The field.
Look After your Mum !! Watta Gal !!!
Pls how do you control heavy rainfall from messing up the field?
Great vid 👍
Must be some ride on combine fair play cut quite clean, header must be going like mad 😂
Go Mom 👍
Queen🐝
Looks like mum handled go up the hill better than that lead tractor. Doesn't it seem that way to anybody else?
Fucking hell,she let that motor hang on,thought she was going to dump the clutch,but she rode it out.
Fucking tidy !!!
Go mum...go mum.....its your birthday!
Most of recent tractors wouldn't do it
is it feasible to use heavy machinery ( bulldozers or scrapers ) to excavate that ridge ( summit of the hill ) to make the slope flatter?
Not economically
Niice looking soil, may I ask where you are located?
I think it's Northern Ireland
WTG Mum!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good on her. Great to see. Realy steep no. Come plough in New Zealand. I used to.pull three furrows with a 465 Nuffield two wheel drive. It was steep in a Landrover there in Arapuni South Waikato.

I daresay they have been doing it for years and it hasn't washed away yet
Well it's not really THAT steep.
Still im surprised you're trying to plow uphill! It's impressive that the tractors can do it.
