I enjoy your program Marty , I’ve had the pleasure of visiting your Country , Thankyou sir from a working man ,to a working man ,cheers mate hello from Alberta Canada.
I think I've figured out part of why I enjoy your content so much. It has the feeling of those channels with the "wild natural living" vibe of hand-crafting little houses and shelters, but you integrate technology. However, you use technology that most people would write off as junk, very patiently repair and restore it, and put it back to work- in the process, doing a fantastic job of whatever you set out to do. Incredibly satisfying and relaxing, and I'm always amazed by how quickly you get ancient rust back to work. Love this channel.
You certainly get your money's worth out of your equipment, Marty! That old John Brown 30 will indeed last another 70 years as long as she's in your care!
That old tractor works like a charm! Pops right off and eager to go. LOVE that simple dump/drag reset bucket! Brilliant and probably one of the reasons that tractor is still in use - elegant and long-lasting
50-year flood? Bloody Kiwis. Come across the ditch mate and we'll show you a 1,000-year flood here in Oz. Haha, hope you're ok, we are getting on with it. Cheers mate, love your work.
Always a joy to watch your videos putting old classic equipment to work! They don't make gear like that anymore.... and with all the new technology keeping equipment running today is rough!
You are right in what you say, they tell us that technology makes work easier and lowers costs, but it is a lie that it lowers costs, besides a new tractor could never work for so many years🤦 no, no way🤷♂️
@@Marcelo-56 Farm and construction equipment technology might make things more efficient.... WHEN IS WORKS PROPERLY.... but the problems and inability of the end user to effectively maintain and repair the equipment takes away the advantage quickly.
Gotta love the sound of that ol' David Brown when she's chuggin' along. Your editing as always is spot-on, and enjoyable. I'm always waiting to see your next video. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share the fun stuff, mate, it's appreciated! Glad to see the DB30 out for a good day's work, keeps her alive and well.
Great when you look back and say that your actually driven a David Brown crop master in NZ , Great job of spreading the rock ,your done more than the council have done in a life time lol
Hi Marty, just love the old machines , I just can’t imagine how much hard work it would be digging it out by hand and saves a lot of hard work thank you for sharing the videos keep up the hard work brother Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia just over the ditch
Hello friend from Queensland - you are right. We are so used to seeing massive modern machines shifting meters of gravel at a time, that the little DB 30 with FEL looks like a hydraulic porridge spoon. But - just try moving the metal by hand and you will soon be praising and blessing the little spoon!
Brilliant stuff Marty, The contrast between the clear oil on the shiny dip stick and the patina background of the old workhorse that it belongs to, true value from a classic. Still a bit of rock in there mate but i expect you are making your way through it. Thanks man
Hi Mart from the Capital. As a teenager in the 50s i worked for Craddocks Transport at Westport, where i cut my teeth learning to drive Fords, Chevrolets and Austin trucks, all crash boxes. We had a front bucket loader, Fordson tractor which was mean't to be used for bulk loads such as gravel, sand etc. Much the same vintage as your DB tractor. The problem was, the Fordson was always breaking down, so yes you guessed it, when someone wanted 3 yards of sand, we shovelled it on. I was about 17yo and often had blisters on my hands in those days. LOL. We also filled sacks with coal for delivery at the hopper down at the wharf. I was just a boy, and one guy i worked with used to abuse me for not holding the sack open correctly while he was filling it. He later became a NZ Police Constable. I often wondered how he managed to get into the Police Force. LOL. Bob. LH.
I wonder how many 17yr olds have ever had blisters on their hands in the last 20yrs ? Used to be normal, in fact we recognised how hard a person worked by the callouses and blisters on their hands !
A little younger than you at the time, the guy I worked for had us using banjo shovels for shoveling sand, literally more than half as wide again and depth as well, so you got a workout!
Another great video Mr.T, I still remember your comment last year about diesel/oil mix for rust control, I've not forgotton but I have to wait till we are done snowblowing so I may treat my "JD Lt150", I love her like you love your Equipment. You are taking those ol girls & giving them life again, love to watch you fix your "track", glad I have short driveway:) Keep up your great videos sir.& thanks for sharing with us here in Internetland:)
I truly enjoy seeing you use all of your equipment. And every time I see you do that, I think wow that is such a better use of equipment than trying to do it by hand - much faster and much easier on the back.
You do not need fancy new tractor to do it! Pleasant to watch how old machine still is very usable in capable hands! Mine is almost as old MF-65 mk2 from 1961 or 62? with 3.3 liter Perkins diesel! Bullet proof! and very reliable! Owned it over 40 years! It will last longer than me! 😂
There are many reasons I like watching the mini doco’s of your work day Marty. One of them is I’m never left wondering what I may miss due to your phenomenal camera set ups. No angle is missed. It shows you have the same dedication to filming as you do with your work and repairs. Wonderful stuff. Btw, I’m now watching the videos of your artist Mrs Marty T. We are spoilt.
Nice job Marty. There will likely be people that say, "Jeeze, why use that old stuff!" I say hand them a shovel to load with and a rake to spread it with. They'll figure it out quick! Wish I had your gravel here. We have clay and ledge, nothing much in between. We pay for gravel like you have, they call it "bank run". The name makes a lot of sense after watching you video!
A man and his toys. I absolutely 💯 love what you do and have a no fear of the cliffs at the edge of your road yet it adds drama and tension to your videos. Real neat.
Nice job with the road repairs. My grader blade is the same except it has the height adjustable outrigger wheel on the back. I find it really helps to get an even surface. Enjoying your channel, thanks for sharing.
That old DB is a great little unit! Nice to see you don't rattle gun the back end out of everything, 99% of people would have put the rattle gun on that bolt. It's a shocking way to do things got to replace 2 wheel studs on the misso's Subaru after a "mechanic" striped them, and that's the second time I've had to replace a wheel studs in recent years because someone who should no better has buggered them through auto motive abuses, you've got to show things a bit of love especially if you want them to last
Hi Marty. I have a 65 year old 950 Davey brown. Missing a lot of parts, LOL, but she has moved a lot of earth over the years and I still skid logs with her. I even have the trip bucket. LOL
Isn't it amazing how many people don't appreciate wonderful old machinery, yet I always marvel that in the day this was state of the art, and like you have shown they are still as serious a tool as they were in their youth? Yet they give so much and ask so little? I find myself that I cannot help smiling when old girls like this ticking away like a sewing machine. Great video as usual and inspiring to see classics still working rather than classics put on a shelf where no one sees them work. What ratio do you mix your diesel out to? we used to just spray straight diesel and them work them dusty and never wash them again and it's amazing how much diesel will protect under that film and it was easy to reapply when you did your maintenance and cheap as I love the patina it gives I look forward to your next work adventure. Keep the dream Alive Brother
Hi Marty, it's great seeing the old gear at work. I use old clean ATF as rust proofing in an identical setup to yours. It goes on red so you can see where you've sprayed it, and after a couple of days it dries to a clear film and stops smelling oily. I find it lasts about 18 months on my 4WDs and it's time to recoat it when water stops beading off the chassis.
Dear Marty T. 👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always (video and work). I absolutely love that you put all the machines you rescued/repaired/restored/maintained back to work again. This rusty old David Brown tractor with the front loader and especially the 3 way adjustable grader blade in the back, is a pretty versatile machine. By the way: Your Ute with the dump bed comes in handy often. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Love how you maintain and run your equipment looks really shiny when your coat that tractor with oil and diesel it looks like you are painting the tractor =)
Perfect lunchtime viewing, Its made me remember my days forming and maintaining our farm tracks fondly. Thanks Marty. PS: my wife still won't let me buy one of those Chinese digger you borrowed from your mate, I'm still working on that though.
So what colour is your tractor? "Rust." Oh, so red? "No... Rust".
It is a rather nice patina, isn't it ...
I think the correct color is "sun baked rust" lol
It's called patina I love it
Rat Rod Rig Red
pa10 is the color
Beautiful old machines. You either appreciate and love them, or you don't.
I enjoy your program Marty , I’ve had the pleasure of visiting your Country , Thankyou sir from a working man ,to a working man ,cheers mate hello from Alberta Canada.
Love the old David Brown. Thanks for keeping it going.
I rarely click on a video so fast as I do with yours, mate.
I'm the same way

What a great life you have Marty your videos are really great and help me relax and unwind after a long day of driving truck.
I love seeing those old blades and buckets getting shined up.
Every time I see that blade it makes me want to build one. Nothing commercial that I've seen myself is half as cool.
The old D.B's were good tractors, easy to use and easy to work on.
You certainly get your money's worth out of your equipment, Marty! That old John Brown 30 will indeed last another 70 years as long as she's in your care!
You are the best neighbor! 👍🏼❤️

John Deere hates that he can just fix it himself
oil and desiel... kills weeds also in your parking spot. great video marty, thanks for bringing us along
Nice tractor, nice video Marty T 🇺🇲🇳🇿
That old Tractor does a Great job...Back when tractors were made too last...Great Video Sir..
nice to see a man with common sense and not just playing around to make content thumbs up
Learned a few new Kiwi words today...
Slip - a landslide
Track - road
Tipper - dump truck
Thanks!
Hey Marty awesome video as always. Take care mate
Love your videos the old girl gets a good workout nice 😎😎👍👍👍
Nice patina! Love the David Brown it lives up to its name!
50-year flood? Bloody Kiwis. Come across the ditch mate and we'll show you a 1,000-year flood here in Oz. Haha, hope you're ok, we are getting on with it. Cheers mate, love your work.
Love the high tech digital rope pull for the bucket. 👍
👍 Oldie. But, goodie! Sure is WAY BETTER than by hand. Good job.
That old David Brown is a trusty old work horse. I really like that multi-axis blade on the back. Thanks Marty.
very neat old tractor my ferguson is 70 years old as well .Has done a lot of work well done sir Marty
I love the simplicity of using a rope as the bucket release. Eliminates one set of hydraulics.
Always a joy to watch your videos putting old classic equipment to work! They don't make gear like that anymore.... and with all the new technology keeping equipment running today is rough!

Thank you soo much for not painting that irreplaceable patina. As always, Marty does it again! Need a Rambro’s offspring update video..
I love that David Brown! Doing the work every bit as well as a brand new tractor.. and with more style!
What a simple nice loader that saved lots of manual work and a sore back!
Still a miracle of engineering, and used well !! Prayed for you all during the storms. Glad to see you're well.
Enjoy all your videos, as you find, & repair old equipment then put it to use!
Marty T!
Thanks mate, always look forward to your post. 🍻

Thanks for taking the time and effort to share the fun stuff, mate, it's appreciated! Glad to see the DB30 out for a good day's work, keeps her alive and well.
And the diesel and oil mix will make it smell good.. probably one of the most expensive cologne's money can buy at the moment. Great video!!
Looks great Marty 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos
Another awesome video the old tractor is doing what it was intended to do😎😎👍👍
Great when you look back and say that your actually driven a David Brown crop master in NZ , Great job of spreading the rock ,your done more than the council have done in a life time lol
The "OLD BUGGER" still workin like new. Thx for ALL ur vids Marty. Enjoyable as always. Cheers from Montreal, Can. 👌
Excellent old tractor. Love it. Thank you

Marty that blade is 10 times the newer one I own. Love the angle adjustment on it. 😉😁
For a 70-year old girl, she sure doesn't seem to mind putting in an honest day's worth of hard work!
Your ole David Brown reminds me of my grandfathers ole Case probably about the same age still in the family and running strong
I love seeing “old iron” at work. Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant stuff Marty, The contrast between the clear oil on the shiny dip stick and the patina background of the old workhorse that it belongs to, true value from a classic. Still a bit of rock in there mate but i expect you are making your way through it. Thanks man

@@ianc4901 anyone with blisters is not used to work.... just saying
@@davidp8157 Yeah, we filled the coal sacks down at the Westport wharf, using banjo's. Wouldn't like to use them on sand.
Nice one Marty. 👍
Love the high tech shovel release. A length of rope but hey it does the trick.
Love seeing the old stuff restored and put back to work 👍❤️👍
That tractor is mighty happy after that heavenly bath of oil (and deisel) made me crack a smile

Just kiwi as Marty, hand controlled bucket on the front and blade on the back. Sweet job.
Love to see the old iron putting in work!

The high tensile remote control bucket release system is impressive.
We had one of those David Brown tractors that we sold in the late 80's when we gave up our small holding where the FALKIRK WHEEL now is in Scotland
Boy that loader bucket is a trip! 😄
There are many reasons I like watching the mini doco’s of your work day Marty.
One of them is I’m never left wondering what I may miss due to your phenomenal camera set ups. No angle is missed. It shows you have the same dedication to filming as you do with your work and repairs.
Wonderful stuff.
Btw, I’m now watching the videos of your artist Mrs Marty T. We are spoilt.
70 year old tractor 🤔 That gives me some hope, I'm only 67 😊
It's amazing that a machine of that era is still able to work like it was intended to this many years later.
Nice job Marty. There will likely be people that say, "Jeeze, why use that old stuff!" I say hand them a shovel to load with and a rake to spread it with. They'll figure it out quick! Wish I had your gravel here. We have clay and ledge, nothing much in between. We pay for gravel like you have, they call it "bank run". The name makes a lot of sense after watching you video!
yep if I had an old tractor to help maintain my road I wouldn't complain
I like the wet paint look. Everyone is going for the patina style these days, your with the times Marty.
A man and his toys. I absolutely 💯 love what you do and have a no fear of the cliffs at the edge of your road yet it adds drama and tension to your videos. Real neat.
Thanks Marty T, we have a David Brown 990 like yours. I like that back blade , lots of options.

Great Vid, nice to see that old piece of iron being put to use.
Nice job with the road repairs. My grader blade is the same except it has the height adjustable outrigger wheel on the back. I find it really helps to get an even surface. Enjoying your channel, thanks for sharing.
Quite a mess you all had down there. Glad to see the old David Brown was still up for the task. I hope I work that good after 70 years.
Great work on the road Marty . She deserves all that love and care you give her and yes , she will last another 70 years , cheers mate .
Strenuous activity for the equipment operator!
Great bit of spreading without chains or a tailboard
That old DB is a great little unit! Nice to see you don't rattle gun the back end out of everything, 99% of people would have put the rattle gun on that bolt.

Might be time to find a new mechanic, thats a rookie move
Love how it fired right off!!! Great old iron
the DB has got some decent patina going on....
Hi Marty. I have a 65 year old 950 Davey brown. Missing a lot of parts, LOL, but she has moved a lot of earth over the years and I still skid logs with her. I even have the trip bucket. LOL
delightful classic machine. does the job too. thank you
awsome old tractor a lot more fun to drive !
Such a beautiful tractor. You always do a great job with the tasks as well as the equipment..
Those grader blades are a great design, extremely useful.
That old girl goes really well Marty she is well worth 4 litres of paint she would look good great old workhorse
Another great video, love the old gear getting a work out. Thanks Marty, keep them coming.
That's an impressive old tractor Marty 😉
