Very nice Alan, over here they expect temperatures of around 28 to 30 degrees next week which is going to last for a few days. I'm expecting the maize harvest to start, but most farmers will also take advantage of the weather to get a proper cut of grass baled or silaged in the next few days.
Brilliant wee tractors these, learned to drive one when I was at college, brings back happy memories!! Looks a good thick crop of grass there,hopefully the weather will hold. Hope you’re keeping safe and well, regards Brian
Very nice Alan, good weather is far too late though. Still a good few farms have been at harvesting these last few days, we’re still at it this morning.
Best wee tractor ever built! Did 4000 hrs on a 1983 240! Came new with a Longford cab which was not standard on the uk built 240s at that time they came with the cabcraft cab! The tractor we got came with slighter wider but lower rear wheels and only 3 forward gears whereas the regular uk tractors came with 4! From memory it was destined for export and likely was originally cabless and the Longford cab added at dealer, wasn’t a great cab compared to the cabcraft ! In 1986 the cab was replaced to a Duncan exactly like the one in this video and it was superb and was a real upgrade! Havnt driven that wee tractor since I changed career in 1992 but it’s still going strong
@@balmesh we had a 135 that the 240 replaced pretty much exactly the same just mainly cosmetic differences, thinner steering wheel and lighter steering!
Thank you for filming and share it with us! Nothing can beat a working Massey Ferguson! Especially the older ones, Which are the best. Hope you will catch more of those classics in work in future

Fingers crossed! We might get some nice weather here, too! Enjoy the Maize, anyway, and hope you get some hay-making!

Never driven a 240 but my "best ever" is the 135. Owned one of them, years ago.
