I loved my old TW, like Muck said you never forget what looking down the bonnet of one looks like, for me it was the character of driving the tractor, technique of changing gears, being obsessed with getting them right, the noise, the rattling all the bouncing around, after you spent 18 hours driving and your trying to get to sleep in bed and you can't because your head and ears are buzzing from all the noise an vibration you had to put up with all day. You either love it or you hate it, and I f#$%~ng loves it!!!! Old before new all the way, every day.
Lord muck please teach George how to shift the TW. You were spot on . Miss my old TW 30 put 9000 hours on with very little trouble. Thank you for the video it brings back happy memories .
One of the reasons why I like watching your videos is that you tell it like it is. You say the good points of the machine but you also tell the parts that don't work so good. Also, you explain why they built the machine a certain way at the time it was built. Thanks for sharing another great video.
I haven't spent any time around a tw25. But my grandfather had a 7710 of that era. And my dad got it after he passed. I spent many hours riding on the toolbox as a kid and spent many hours driving it as I got older. I certainly miss it. Nice old tractor.
Always had a soft spot for a TW10 but I'm more than happy with my International 956 a tractor I've dreamed of since wearing terrys nappies! I never drove one until I bought one and I've never been disappointed with it, took me a while getting one but good thing's comes to those who wait love it!🙄
My name is Rhys, i'm 16 from Newport south wales. i work on a farm when im not in school and i get the amazing opportunity to operate a New Holland t6.155 remapped to 185 horse and a case puma 150 around about 200 horse from factory. I personally believe that they both have their pros and cons, the t6 is good for some jobs and the puma is good for others jobs i know there is a horse power difference but i still think that they have there own jobs and again it down you personal preference as you mentioned in the video. anyway great video yet again cant wait for the next one thanks guys :) Rhys
Eoin O'Reilly in not sure I could be wrong on the horse power rating it just what I was told by my boss we aren't sure but it's enough to run a front and back off set mower
I do watch a states farm show and he is a DEERE FAN except he has a CASE MX255 and loves the tractor. Has the great Cummings with that proper bark exhaust note.......
Really interesting seeing the TW-25 neked! Amazing how similar all Fords are, if you strip off the cab, fuel tank air filters etc you'd have a little skid unit underneath. When I got promoted from driving a 6600 to a 7710 as a kid thought I was getting a massive machine. But soon realised it was really just the same with a high up cab and big tank sitting on top of the engine (and a turbo)!!
That was very enjoyable seeing more of the mechanics under the skin of the T dub and shows what a solid example she is. also Ben never lets you down for entertainment that whole section got me laughing and reminded me of Max Headroom stuck in his box lol....showing my age now. great video lads really enjoyed that.
well said lads .i use to run an ford 8100 manys years ago it was abit numb .i think if i was havin a new holland or a case for the day it wouild be a case not new holland allways breakin down seen to many things go wrong with them blue ones .the price of them never shouild break down like they do
blue feels like front visibility better not having the info on pillar. On red found it made a blind spot on roundabouts. Front suspension on both doesnt do much unless youve got weight on. Both have very comfortable seat everything positioned where you need it on arm rest, both got nice passenger seat keeps the wife happy lol. Both lack cab storage compared to the likes of deeres r series. Power shift boxes on both are equal, vario boxes in red probably better. Exhaust break good feature on red. But as i said earlier cant split them would be happy to spend 12 hrs on either with no fuss
It’s blue for me, purely because I’ve done more with new Holland, and it’s my favourite colour, as you said same machines but it’s what makes you comfortable visually and ease of use
i use to drive a tw25 for a good few years at pulling a jd momer 1360 then after silage i was pulling a power harrow and never had a problem with one when low on disel it took 17th small 25liter drum to fill it that was a pain
Reason I love the tw’s is the shear power and brute force of the things put one of these on nearly any plow you can find it’ll pull it or have a bloody good go other problem with the fuel tank at the front if brakes fail or some pilocks not looking where they’re going you can end up with diesel every where or a good fire
i really wish i could be a part of it.. it looks like a blast and to much fun for all that are involved hmmmm i should crash the party and put in my two cents lol.....
Brilliant video I always loved the look of the TWS but never got to drive one. If you wanted a gear box to learn to get your rev's right on gear changes try the Eaton twin splitter fitted in a ERF E14, once you got the hang of it best manual box of its time.
As a young man at the time that drove through the 80's and early 90' the norm was to get your guts thrown about and damage your ears as I thought they were state of the art compared to the 60's and 70's sample of tractors ignorance was bliss at the time !
I used to prefer the puma to the t7 but since the range was revamped in 2016 or whatever it was I now prefer the t7 as I think the case interior seems a bit cheap and plasticy ( imparticularly the PTO switch) but thats just my opinion.
Brilliant video lads, thanks for putting it together - George’s TW sure looks good turning the sky black. How come it’s not raining up there? We do not seem to of had any rainless days for a long while down in Kent!!
The farming where I grew up was market gardening, and the tractors were all Massey Ferguson 135s or similar. There's not much farming left there now, but whenever I see a tractor nowadays, they all look big and imposing. Question from a pleb, then, have tractors all got bigger? Cheers.
Very nice again George, Mr Muck driving the TW25 Ford, I like the sound, why have you changed the exhaust, I liked the stainless steel exhaust more better sound 😉😂😲💥
It might ‘look’ nice Jan but the straight pipe is awful if using it for a few hours. I think George’s original silencer is better as everyone is putting a straight pipe on these days and it’s just dull. I think he might put it on for the odd working day.
Good morning. I have a Ford tw20. And my problem is that the pto cannot stop. I haven't the manual, maybe you have it or some photo to help me. Thank you very much. Good morning from Greece 🇬🇷
Nice vid boys I am a ford man I drive a t6 and a t7 think they are a gd tractor the t6 150 is my main tractor that I do all my hay making and muck spreading with but I would say it’s abit basic in side
Hi everyone, sorry to burst your bubble, and not that my opinion is worth any more than the next chap...............but: Fords back in the 80's were one up from a traction engine, smoked, gearbox felt like a bag of rocks, gutless, ergonomics designed by Stevie Wonder, noisy. Imagine the board meeting where someone presented the final design where emptying the cab filter simply deposited most of the dust on your seat, a split rear window which when folded collected dust, and the worst for me, the leveling arm adjuster, perfectly placed to smack your elbow on! To make matters worse, and not specific to Fords, we were forced to listed to Steve Wright all afternoon. I retired from farming in 1995, but the frustrations run deep, I could go on. Cheers
It’s funny how much your preferences as a child affects what you like now. Although my Britain’s tractors were Ford, Massey and JCB, I always yearned for a John Deere. Probably because that’s what the local farmers used. Either way it rubbed off on me and my preference is John Deere now. It’s embarrassing to admit but I think I’m gonna buy a Britain’s John Deere model just to complete that child ion want even though I’m now in my 20’s 😂
Hey there! Excellent video! I'm thinking about buying a TW tractor, but before I 'd like to know about fuel consumption, how many liters of diesel consumes in a 12-hour-of-hard-work day. Greetings from Mexico!
Was Deano on a lambo can't be many them in UK he don't half get drive exotic stuff -spotted a PINK claas combine just parked up in field today not sure model but been there yrs not sure why its pink
I ran a puma when they first came out and I would have taken a good team of mules instead and shot the mules. Maybe the new ones are better, can't speak for the blue version.
The 3 Wise Monkeys it was a 2009 165 puma powershift model and I found it was very rough shifting compared to the 7120 magnum that it replaced. The cab suspension made for a very rough ride in the seat, it was fine for road travel but in a rough field it would bounce you right out of the seat. It had the manual levers for scv control that worked fine but the joystick to run the loader was slow to respond and very awkward to operate, of course this was nearly ten years ago and the Pumas were fairly new on the market here in Canada at that time so I'm sure they improved them since then.
A lot of folks did (including me) but because of the extra length they were awkward when pulling on to roads and also a lot suffered from excess wear on the front axle.
Anyone that thinks a straight pipe is good on one of these has obviously never spent enough time driving one ! They’re bad enough with a silencer... Constant mesh box was good in its day.
+Lord Muck hahahaha ive a 4000 with a straight pipe and a silencer i drew bales with it at silage deafening hahah i like thr crash box the 2650 johndeere we have has one i think i love them
I loved my old TW, like Muck said you never forget what looking down the bonnet of one looks like, for me it was the character of driving the tractor, technique of changing gears, being obsessed with getting them right, the noise, the rattling all the bouncing around, after you spent 18 hours driving and your trying to get to sleep in bed and you can't because your head and ears are buzzing from all the noise an vibration you had to put up with all day.

how is the 150 puma 200 horse when a 185 is 185 boost to 225?is it remapped
Eoin O'Reilly in not sure I could be wrong on the horse power rating it just what I was told by my boss we aren't sure but it's enough to run a front and back off set mower
i repaired them back in end of 80´s and i loved them very much like our Schlüters !
I do watch a states farm show and he is a DEERE FAN except he has a CASE MX255 and loves the tractor. Has the great Cummings with that proper bark exhaust note.......
have to love the old ford. we have a ford 7610 and she's a lovely old girl.
Really interesting seeing the TW-25 neked! Amazing how similar all Fords are, if you strip off the cab, fuel tank air filters etc you'd have a little skid unit underneath.

But soon realised it was really just the same with a high up cab and big tank sitting on top of the engine (and a turbo)!!
back when i was a farm hand i was mostly on the TW15 and the good ol TW20 loved them both the TW20 was an amazing tractor
Fantastic! Allways fun to see you three. It would be fun to compare the lights on the red and the blue aswell. The range form cabview and so on
That was very enjoyable seeing more of the mechanics under the skin of the T dub and shows what a solid example she is.
also Ben never lets you down for entertainment that whole section got me laughing and reminded me of Max Headroom stuck in his box lol....showing my age now.
great video lads really enjoyed that.
I like the tw-25 used to drive one when doing land drainage
well said lads .i use to run an ford 8100 manys years ago it was abit numb .i think if i was havin a new holland or a case for the day it wouild be a case not new holland allways breakin down seen to many things go wrong with them blue ones .the price of them never shouild break down like they do
Don't know nothing about big tractors but that one looks like a tractor should look.
blue feels like front visibility better not having the info on pillar. On red found it made a blind spot on roundabouts. Front suspension on both doesnt do much unless youve got weight on. Both have very comfortable seat everything positioned where you need it on arm rest, both got nice passenger seat keeps the wife happy lol.

But as i said earlier cant split them would be happy to spend 12 hrs on either with no fuss
I might be in touch in the next few weeks.
no prob. hope my comment usefull
allways loved the big fords, never knew about the fuel tank - cheers guys
Great video. Mr Saunders and Mr Muck
Well gentlemen!!
Hmmmm, I don’t think I need to tell you what my choice would be....lol
Super dooper video anyhow chaps! Great stuff!
Jonny 1388 you be blue 😂😂😂
It’s blue for me, purely because I’ve done more with new Holland, and it’s my favourite colour, as you said same machines but it’s what makes you comfortable visually and ease of use
Another cracking vid lads.... nice for you to get Ben in it... wouldn't want him feeling too left out.... 😂😂😂 keep em coming!!!.
i use to drive a tw25 for a good few years at pulling a jd momer 1360 then after silage i was pulling a power harrow and never had a problem with one when low on disel it took 17th small 25liter drum to fill it that was a pain
The Dealer can also influence your choice of brand as backup service is important!
Massively ! Dealer support is half of what choice you would make a lot of the time.
Reason I love the tw’s is the shear power and brute force of the things put one of these on nearly any plow you can find it’ll pull it or have a bloody good go other problem with the fuel tank at the front if brakes fail or some pilocks not looking where they’re going you can end up with diesel every where or a good fire
You'd probably have liked my old 7710. Used to run a timber crane behind it, the old girl would happily pull 15 ton of Oak out the woods all day long
What a great video lads brill insight into tw workings n the cab debate is bang on Delano so funny can't wait you do the test 👍👍
Spent an afternoon on one of them discing once, and that was an afternoon to many lol. I’ll stick too my 4755 thanks !.
I drove a TW 25 and loved it
Hi Monkeys
The Ford 6000 with the jerk-o-matic transmission was the the one that was really ahead of the field in its day
yes indeed, the Ford 6000 was a great machine in it's day!
your doing a good job setting up whats coming next!!!!
Its going mad getting it all in place Wes but so much fun and really interesting for us !
i really wish i could be a part of it.. it looks like a blast and to much fun for all that are involved hmmmm i should crash the party and put in my two cents lol.....
I reckon we should make that happen at some point Wes...
that would be true blue youtube gold!
Brilliant video I always loved the look of the TWS but never got to drive one.
If you wanted a gear box to learn to get your rev's right on gear changes try the Eaton twin splitter fitted in a ERF E14, once you got the hang of it best manual box of its time.
Put George on an old hydrashift case or David brown lol.... I’d reckon that’d bring tears to Ford mans eye... lol good video lads
As a young man at the time that drove through the 80's and early 90' the norm was to get your guts thrown about and damage your ears as I thought they were state of the art compared to the 60's and 70's sample of tractors ignorance was bliss at the time !
Id say Puma! the cab seems more smaller to me but the controls are more layed out well and It just feel like more quality in the cab of a puma!
thanks guys
I used to prefer the puma to the t7 but since the range was revamped in 2016 or whatever it was I now prefer the t7 as I think the case interior seems a bit cheap and plasticy ( imparticularly the PTO switch) but thats just my opinion.
Great video chaps, looking for to the next one.
I also prefer the case lay out. Just because everything falls to hand and display is so much better
Brilliant video lads, thanks for putting it together - George’s TW sure looks good turning the sky black. How come it’s not raining up there? We do not seem to of had any rainless days for a long while down in Kent!!
The sun always shines on the Righteous.
Your really doing this well lads, i think its alot of what your used to aswell
think we need to get saunders in a 956 muck
Great tractors Paul, i need to get up your way and have a go.
I think we will have to sort that Paul 👍
i need to pull my finger out,,,, you need to pull your finger out, ben and George need to get hopfully worked up n get over for lineside
Ben's gonna have his comments section spammed with cheap viagra links in the next video 😂😂😂
Nice TW25..strange the TW 35'S are hardly ever seen..Liked
The farming where I grew up was market gardening, and the tractors were all Massey Ferguson 135s or similar.
There's not much farming left there now, but whenever I see a tractor nowadays, they all look big and imposing.
Question from a pleb, then, have tractors all got bigger?
Cheers.
Basically yes !
spent time on both. currently drive blue personally can't split them wouldn't be able to pick one over the other
That’s interesting to hear, cheers.
Nice drone shots!
Interesting video 👍3 top blokes always a good watch
Good crack lads... poor Deano (Pingu)
Where is he these days,??deano that is??
Have to say lads, really enjoyed this :)
Very nice again George, Mr Muck driving the TW25 Ford, I like the sound, why have you changed the exhaust, I liked the stainless steel exhaust more better sound 😉😂😲💥
It might ‘look’ nice Jan but the straight pipe is awful if using it for a few hours. I think George’s original silencer is better as everyone is putting a straight pipe on these days and it’s just dull.
I think he might put it on for the odd working day.
the optum cab is very very nice
The case is slightly nicer finished off inside with the chrome and side pillar clocks etc
The nh 210 is the equivalent to a puma 165. We got one its a beast
That's right Lewis, Case always show the un-boosted power.
I find the case cab to be better, seems to be higher quality too
My first tractor yoused to work with tw 15 loved it
Awesome job guys
Brilliant video guys, would love to see one comparing an older fastrac 125/135/145/155/185 compared to George’s new 4000 series 💪🏼
Cracking idea !
Trip to Earnest Doe required then for one of each for a face off.
Crash box transmissions, had them in International harvester tandem trucks.
Great vid can you guys do more of this type vids on tractors.👍👍👍👍👍
As we build the channel and followers we will get to do more of these ‘overview’ type vids on various tractors, excavators etc.
It's a beefy tractor and she's beautiful..LOL Take Care you.. Great Vid.
sounds awesome 👍👌👌👌
Cracking video guys. oh Deno Viagra is overrated i just use two lolly sticks as a splint.lol... Thanks for sharing guys....
I was pleased with how well the ‘live link’ to Deano came out. I’d text him to say I would try and call him and that was the result !
Lord Muck. turned out great in my opinion.. Thanks for the reply sir....
Pleasure is all ours Kevin, thanks for the support.
Top video guys really enjoyed it
I drove John Deere's and New Holland and Challenger but my favorite is still the case all the way
Good morning. I have a Ford tw20. And my problem is that the pto cannot stop. I haven't the manual, maybe you have it or some photo to help me. Thank you very much. Good morning from Greece 🇬🇷
We will look for you.
@@torquingpoint5057 thank you...
Blue Power all the way
Nice vid boys I am a ford man I drive a t6 and a t7 think they are a gd tractor the t6 150 is my main tractor that I do all my hay making and muck spreading with but I would say it’s abit basic in side

I have a Ford 5030 with the 2 and 3 gears are so far apart and I had the Dewl power but it broke

I’ve still got all mine from the 70’s and 80’s
Lord Muck now that would be an interesting video!
In my opinion the majority of the tw's were used mainly for powering up forage harvesters etc.
Not in the east and south east of the country, they were mainly draft tractors.
Hey there! Excellent video!
I'm thinking about buying a TW tractor, but before I 'd like to know about fuel consumption, how many liters of diesel consumes in a 12-hour-of-hard-work day.
Greetings from Mexico!
I know you and Kurt the best. Keep it up ya pair of silly bu***rs. Love it.
Case IH all the way
Great video chaps!
very good video boys .. good laugh
We have one Ford TW 25 just two wheel drive but it's a good old tractor
Basildon Blue all the way
What would people recommend for the Hydraulic fluids side .I was told type 32 would be fine but others say UTTO OR SUTTO For the TW 25
UTO. Everything you hook on to will use it so it's makes no difference.
very interesting, well done chaps, was that a Mustang flying about??
No.
Green or blue all the way
cracking video!
Would love to see some videos like this but on an excavator
Stay tuned !
great vid boys
What about the County tractor, are they not the same as Ford? I really enjoy your videos here in IL USA
County’s were a Ford skid unit taken to Fleet in Hampshire and then built up by County with their own axles and drivelines etc.
Top class video
I use jd 6830 and nh 6070. The jd is more convenient and comfortable than the nh.
We won’t compare the JD only NH and Case.
OK, I understood. an opinion is always useful. good continuation.
We will look at JD in the future. Thanks for viewing.
I dive a puma 160
Had a t7 on demo but puma cab is than t7
Was Deano on a lambo can't be many them in UK he don't half get drive exotic stuff -spotted a PINK claas combine just parked up in field today not sure model but been there yrs not sure why its pink
He was on a Challenger
Please Exhaust in black , for your Nice unrestored tw 25 😀😀😀👌👌👌🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
I ran a puma when they first came out and I would have taken a good team of mules instead and shot the mules. Maybe the new ones are better, can't speak for the blue version.
What didn’t you like ?
The 3 Wise Monkeys it was a 2009 165 puma powershift model and I found it was very rough shifting compared to the 7120 magnum that it replaced. The cab suspension made for a very rough ride in the seat, it was fine for road travel but in a rough field it would bounce you right out of the seat. It had the manual levers for scv control that worked fine but the joystick to run the loader was slow to respond and very awkward to operate, of course this was nearly ten years ago and the Pumas were fairly new on the market here in Canada at that time so I'm sure they improved them since then.
Hmmmm.... that makes sense especially going from a Magnum. Thanks for the info !
What is the difference between a tw25Q and the tw25
Few bits in the cab, couple of options and later on a digital dash.
Maybe get a old magnum against tw;)
It would have to be against a 30 Series as the TW's were before the Magnums.
Blue is the colour
Case is nicer
Would you lot plan on going to the royal welsh show
Would like to Jack but think it will clash with work.
👍 fiat now holland
Why not put a bracket and suitcase weights on the front if the weight is needed? That's what we do over on the other side of the pond lol
A lot of folks did (including me) but because of the extra length they were awkward when pulling on to roads and also a lot suffered from excess wear on the front axle.
crash box with straight pipe only way to have them.no radio needed hehe
Anyone that thinks a straight pipe is good on one of these has obviously never spent enough time driving one ! They’re bad enough with a silencer...
Constant mesh box was good in its day.
+Lord Muck hahahaha ive a 4000 with a straight pipe and a silencer i drew bales with it at silage deafening hahah i like thr crash box the 2650 johndeere we have has one i think i love them
Your 2650 will have a synchro box Eoin.
+Lord Muck 👍👍
