- In this one we go back in time...nearly 70 years in fact! and we see our old Fordson Dexta at work on our scraper. We also finally get to work fixing our broken silage pit/muck store after 6 long years! I think it looks smart, what do you think?
I hope you enjoy it

Got to love it when dads talk like they’ve never bent anything in their life.
I am so glad your channel was recommended to watch 😊 I agree we loose so many memories would you not write a book about your farm history it sounds so interesting x I am glad you own up to crashing things poor Joe Seels comes in and the crash fairy have been and gone 😂😂😂 great video by the way 👍
its great to see one still working, Its a new performance super dexta which would make it a 1964. I have a 1960 standard dexta that was supplied by Hallmarks of Ashby and it then spent all its life in Market Bosworth
Nice tractor James
We work our farm with a 950 DB and two 1550 olivers and a 2-85 white and a new mf 4 wheel drive 60hp with loader
What a great video
Great video, it made me feel old when you taking about what year the tractor was from ,i was made in 57 so I don't think thats very old at all 😂😂
Hi James Nice one good seeing and hearing the history of the Dexta I spent a lot of time with my grandad learned a lot still a lot I should have asked but when your young you think they will always be there till it is to late Thanks again Have a good weekend
That's how good people are always with us after they die they live on in our memories, always time well spent sharing memory's with older people
Yes I constantly had the levers off both our ones putting things back right lol
I used to drive a 4000 with a tanco loader to muck out bedding muck etc
At last the dexta video cool machine 😊
Good to see the old Dexta working but it is definitely not a 1958 model, more like 62 , it's a super dexta.
Really enjoyed you showing the Dexta I have a 1959 Dexta it still does its keep
nice video james
We used to have 2 of them and they were cracking machines
What a cool looking tractor
Hi James Your grandad must have bought the tractor off bill hobill I worked for him 30 years ago great farmer as was your grandad And yes you should ask your grandparents about things it may well help you in the future when there gone it’s to late Cheers 🍻
Your right there
Dexter 1958 65yo I'm was born 1953 I'm 70yo 71 in July i learnt to drive and tractor a Dexter when I was 8yo good video 👍
How old is your Dad. I was born in 1965 and learnt to drive on Fordson Majors and super Majors before they let me drive the Ford 4000s.😊😊😊😊
Hi James I have a 1960 face lift Dexta to find the exact date yours was made the serial number is on the lip of the bell housing between the engine and clutch on the left hand side of the tractor with that number you will be able to find the manufacturing date but Super Dextas were only manufactured between 1962-1964.
Fairly sure it’s a 1963/64 new performance super dexta unless its tin work was replaced with newer panels when it was written off
Great advise
How come you don’t fill the pit with silage? Save on bales?
I'm not sure.... I think it's more 1963/64 ??🤔 we've got a Dexter (1958) bought in 1984 with the Horndrolic loader, like yours, then came the Super Dexter, the first one's had orange wheels and grills, yours must be a later one.
Your john deeres not be going at half that age
58 or 59 makes the teacher 65 not 70😅
