- What can I say... Its better than using a shovel
Thanks Banggood for sending me the DJI osmo pocket camera, these cams are amazing, they stabilise the camera using a 3 axis gimbal. Check it out on the Banggood website - www.banggood.c...
The weather, the birds singing, old tractors, looks like paradise to me.
And don't forget to mention the huge property !
U got it.
We have -22 ° C (-7 ° F)
and 100 cm (3.28 Feet) snow ❄️,
in northern Sweden.
@@makingithappen9722 God Jul!
@@makingithappen9722 We need a bit of that here in Melbourne Aust, tomorrow Sunday 34deg C, Monday 42deg C snow - nil.
@@anthonyoer4778 Swedish, 👌 where are you from?
My dad’s first tractor when I was a kid was a db case 990 around 1980 in New Brunswick, Canada. I was about 5 years old and it took both my feet to push in the clutch but I was able to harrow the fields to help out! Great videos! John from Canada!
Peewee.31 from N.B. Canada myself
She's functional and, yep, beats a shovel! Love the sound of that old tractor... I just find it hard to imagine some of the new machines working 75 to 100 years from now...
Should curl the bucket right out and extend the boom right out when you park it so the ram rods are as hidden as possible to stop them rusting
Really great show of why it's so great you have those well used but still serviceable equipment. Along with your "community" coming together!
That one actually still looks pretty tight. Probably not used that much since it's a homeowners class machine.
@@TheMetalButcher And it sounds like the motor is running very well and now starting easy.
I really enjoy your vidoes , your are such a practical man ,,and you can virtually fix anything i am envious ,being a practical man myself i relate to a lot of the stuff you do
All nice and such, but come on, 7,5 minutes, we demand more of your time haha great stuff. We will be waiting for the next one.
This has to be one of the best channels on UA-cam.
Job well done Marty! It's nice to see that these old machines have a new lease on life!
Nice to bring back wonderful memories of living out in the country as i did. To me, this is the best life on the planet... Working and using the tools that people discarded for the newer and the better, but the old stuff still works.... Great work...
Seeing the kid at the end of the video had me think what a wonderful childhood, living in that environment.
Definitely looks like paradise.
I like watching you get those old machines running again and working them, the backhoe may be home made but it’s still neat and seems to work pretty good, enjoy your videos
Hi, see you are struggling for traction towing the nufeild setup even though you have reasonable rubber on the 990. If you bring your boom in and as near to vertical as you can in transit, you move your centre of pivot from half way from nuffield axle to boom, to closer to the nuffield axle, so instead of lifting the back of the 990, you can actually get traction, also, suspect there is little water in your rear tyres, we used to run water to top of rim plus half of the tread above the rim, hope this makes sense and helps, cheers keep up the good work
Great video of your little Paradise and amazing rebirth of vintage machinery. Thanks for sharing
That ol Perkins just keeps on pumpin
Love seeing old stuff put back to work, I feel like if a machine could talk it would tell you it's happiest being used. Also pleases put a guard on that PTO shaft, I've seen good ones fail in spectacular fashion, they can easily kill or mangle you, just a couple of steel hoops will do the job.
I have this feeling that if you lift the bucket up and all the way in when towing it will give more traction, more weight in the draw bar
You're right, I didn't realise it was so far out until I saw the footage
was thinking the same
What we use to say " better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick " ! 😊
I think it done fine!
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Marty, that New Zealand is a beautiful place my friend. Always love to see a new video pop up from you buddy!! 👍Jay👍
I agree. NZ is on the bucket list to visit.
You brought the whole ranch with you!
The tractor is sounding great. I think you can find those used back wheel weights pretty inexpensively. They would give you some good traction. On a side note, the weather looks great there!
Just use the independent rear wheel brakes = Limited Slip Diff.
The old Dai Brown will get the job done! My Dad had one the same and it never failed! Great video!
I was using one in the early 80s that broke in half wile I was using it. The tank and hood smashed the dash around the steering column. Other than that it ran fine.
Well worth the money and time you have in the equipment. And it sure does beat using a shovel.
This thing is so cool. I have an Oliver 550 with a front end loader. I love it.
Great Video MartyT, I was mistaken, i thought you were going to excavate the pipes, ! funny watching a nuffield back axle behind a david brown! thanks for sharing
Dear Marty T.
Good to see that stabil backhoe at work again. Please kindly allow me to suggest to modify that free spinning shaft. With a kind of cage one will have a lot more security respectively protection.
2) Dear good old David B..
You smoked quite a bit out of your exhaust. Are you a little bit ill maybe? Whatever: get well soon.
;-) :-)
Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all involved life forms (humans, sheep, rams, cows and tractors).
I may not be the first to say that there really is no need to speed things up. I'm sure I'm not the only one who could watch this all day in real time.
Same here, I watch the hour plus long vids glued to the screen, and I'm not a farmer. Just fascinating.
I love backhoes. I bought a 1988 Jcb 3cx with extra dig and 4wd. It's the best purchase I've ever made in my life. Helps me out with so many things. Everyone. GO BUY A JCB 3CX.👍
Looks like that could be a pretty nice place for a hop garden.
Marty I enjoy watching your videos.your one clever fella.. watching from Maine USA .. I have a 1955 Farmall Cub I H
Good thing the director of photography approved of your camera placement. Otherwise, she would have made you mooooove it. I'll show myself out.
Ok I would make a complete sitting area with picnic bench and hammock next to that waterfall👍
Marty, you must be the local here in your neck of the woods. If a problem arises you always have a solution.
Nice job boy’s, old machinery can still do the job wow👍👍👍
I have a lot of respect for this tractor, gone into the wood, worked in the farm
Awesome video mate thanks for sharing sharing
Looks like a great spot to build a swimming hole.
All the animals are trying to figure out what you two were doing that's for sure!
Some cows are very curios and nosey, the Jersey I think, the other type here is the Friesian
even the cows and chooks followed you down there . so funny .
Perfect size job for the setup, and the cows were looking cheerful.
prettiest spot to work in that i have seen yet!
That is one curious cow! You should give her a featured role in more videos!
Dear ddoyle 11
LOL 👍👌👏
Yeah, I bet this tripod was trembling of fear. The cow probably smelled the salt from hands on the grip. But fortunately it wasn't enough dried sweat on it so that the cow didn't lick.
Best regards luck and health.
Fewer cows, more sheep!
All that beautiful crystal clear water would be nice over on the west island Marty we need it about now, and I love how the chooks and cows come down to check the finished product
Wow - really surprised at the DB wheelspin around 0:56 - I grew up on a farm, and (IME) a tractor that size can pull a LOT
(oh, and while I'm here, I LOVE your approach to restoration which is: to start with do the routine maintainence the previous owner SHOULD have done - filters, seals, bearings and fluids. A refreshing change from the "total strip down and mirror polish everything" school of UA-camr)
No matter the age or wisdom of a man he will never tire of power tools and muck. Cows, chickens and a dog are all bonus.
Need a higher flow pump on the backhoe. You need to also load the tires on your David Brown.
Nice to make use of the old backhoe that way cool video
I haven't seen that machine combination before.
It looks strange.
Miiint 👌
Aged not useless . Works quite well for the price . Great job on restore . Still need to work on pto shaft though . "Deeds not words" Its not as much on what is sead but what one does .
Great footage. Our weather in Nebraska was almost as pretty as yours this week.
Merry Christmas! Wishing you and your family God's Blessings as we look to the New Year!
I see the backhoe takes a few of the three point hitch points. A couple of the unused hitch components should have bars to hook up a thousand lb. Weight of concrete for the back of the David Brown. That would make the lashup more useable. Then straighten out the driveshaft on the pto so you can turn it about 200 rpm faster and will make the backhoe turn a pretty lift and stop being so sluggish. Unless you are already peaking the high pressure dump valve. If so all it would do is heat the oil. Probably needs a filter in the hydro summers.
The DB running a lot better Marty after the service... not too much exhaust smoke now and only after a bit of load goes on for a sec... might clear up a wee bit more yet. Reminds me of my dad's farm at Hokitika
Damm I love the old tractors
Beautiful cows you got they are very cute
Marty you have it made it New Zealand, what a beautiful little paradise... Love your videos bud!
Making a small roadside swimming hole in the summer isn't such a bad idea either !!
You know his dog hates getting left out!
Neat to see one of these. Not sure if these are common over there but I'm pretty sure this is the David Brown responsible for the "DB" in the Aston Martin DB series (which is what made Aston Martin the brand we know today). Cool piece of history.
@ Gregory Wolf, Perfectly correct, also one time owner of the shipbuilders Vosper Thorneycroft, and of course luxury car brand Lagonda.
Marty very nice farm I like the homemade backhoe works really nice
Nice to see the David Brown and the backhoe in action. Is it practical/possible to upgrade the hydraulic pump to make the backhoe to work faster?
Man, you need a guard on that shaft before someone dies. I've been caught on a PTO, and trust me, it's not something you will enjoy.
Another thing is riding on a hitch/tongue. I knew a guy that got ran over by a trailer.
Enjoy your video. All the way from Canada Alberta.
There is a Manitoba resident here having fun as well. I wonder who's watching from other Canadian provinces ?
Now your just playing with toys. Great demo too.
Another great video and day in paradise
It just shows that you can put together useful equipment without spending crazy money..
That PTO shaft doesn't look dodgy at all 😂
Jesus!
That thing is home made??
I´ve been moving dirt by hand all year so i´m probably as good at it as i´m ever gonna be, but this home made thing is so awfully much faster than 2 buddies with shovels and spades...jesus.
Why are your videos so cool??
Asking for a friend...
Thank you for sharing your story. Merry christmas to you and your family. God bless
Buddy you dont know how much that trailed bachoe would help me out around my property, wish i had one
That backhoe is cool! I'd be happy having it. Could use it on my leech line... How much to ship, Marty?? Lol
That Moo at the very end. Classic.
Stay Awesome Marty T. Enjoying your videos
I'm kinda thinking that backhoe needs to be transplanted to a complete and functional tractor!
Looks like you may need to add some ballast weight to the rear tires of your 990.
They are full of water, we should have pulled the bucket in to bring the weight forward
There is a product called Rim Guard is made from I think sugar beets it much heavier than water it won't rust your rims. .down side is its expensive and reeks if it leaks say from a damaged tire.
Of course there are iron wheel weights too.
Sounds like an old Wabco machine an old Road grader from the 1960's the Wabco 440
Watched the Hitachi rescue and restoration work and looks like good things happen to good people! Very impressed with your knowledge and skill. Really enjoy the videos and watching you get things done with it. You gave it a new lease on life!
Marty's at warp speed!
Needs a mesh cover over the PTO shaft n chain guard so it it decides to letgo noone gets hurt
Yeah, I was watching it wobbling around expecting it to snap under load.
Even the equivalent of a couple of racing driveshaft loops would help.
That sounded like Chinese to me, my man. You know I'm gonna be researching "PTO Shaft, Chain guard," and all that :D
@John Chrysostom Different saying in my area. Around here its Chinese. Not sure why. I don't question it. And the terms might be 100 years old but I am ignorant of the term in the first place. Love the learning, though.
Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
You should fill your back tires up with water so you can hold the backend down better
Good idea. Cheers from NYC
That backhoe / DB combo is reminiscent of the human centipede
That's a teamwork digger 😁
Need to make something like this you can pull behind your truck and still work
Calming by watching. Really, big thanks for these series, which let globalization and all its bad circumstances seem far away. Amazing nature and environment, makes thoughts why not living just another place and another way of life. Keep enjoying and doing that big boy's stuff! :-)
Merry christmas and good video
Useful tool, shame it won't run off the tracked grader, would be unstoppable. Cheers
Marty, quitale presión de aire a las ruedas del tractor para tener mas tracción.
Awesome video Marty you know what you doing heavy equipment god bless you happy new year 2020 friend
Is this thing really homemade, or is it from the days when backhoes were separate units? The tires do seem kind of heavy-duty, almost like it originally was a tractor.
im pretty sure someone took an old backhoe that possibly the engine blew or the like, and cut the back half off and made a portable unit from that.
Yes it looks like an old back half of a tractor turned into a backhoe and I think the tractor used to be a nuffield
@@jdmforever5583 Pretty slick - use it 'til it's dead, then turn it into something else.
Should really shorten the toung on the backhoe get your self more traction and shorten pto shaft be safer lol but great video sweet equipment
Gday mate, enjoying your work. One observation, the PTO looks a bit shaky, it may need a midpoint support of some kind.
All the very best for 2020.🇦🇺🍻
Ye I would be putting a new b&p shaft on it
loved the waterfall...not sure where you should dig it out though, originally you had an old excavator, just guessing you might of just got it running for someone else...digging all that cobble maybe you should sluice it and look for some gold as waterfalls are famous for their pots of gold...as for me to be able to walk over and get a drink of cool water would be my riches, anyways, love your channel
Yes it's sure is paradise... I visited NZ and my sister, I don't want to come home, keep up good work mate
It might be slow but still faster than a hand shovel 😆
Good vid, Marty. Thumbs up.
Great video. I love seeing the old equipment at work. BUT.. maybe next time go way overboard and get the big excavator out. 😎
Too far to track the excavator, its about 5km from home and I still need to fix a few things on it
