Most great tractors have caring, knowledgeable owners. Dearler in Pennsylvania,USA sold Zetor and Belarus,back in 1993, had 3 cyl Zetor from India and a Belarus 250, bought the 250, for 3 grand less, brand new. Still have it, never, and I mean "NEVER" failed to start in 30 yrs, love that Same V-4 air cooled diesel. Thanks for sharing 👍
We had a Same Delfino 35 hp 4x4 tractor on our vineyard, 2 cylinder 2.0L, ran on the smell of an oily rag and was incredibly reliable. Still going strong 16 years later, we bought it second hand, when we sold the vineyard in 2016! Did an awful lot of good work for us and my wife used to love driving it.
Hi mate. I haven’t heard a bad word about SAME tractors. I’m sure it did the job just fine for you both, and yes they are good to drive also. Everything is in the right place on them
You have to love the durability of this old equipment . It gets used and abused and with just a little mechanical foreplay it responds to its owner ! 😂 My father was an engineer at Allis Chalmers in Milwaukee Wisconsin after WWII . I grew up loving farm equipment .
I used to work with Same tractors in the 1970ies. Very good sturdy and strong tractors made in Italy. A bit rough to work with but really good stuff. I loved them!!
Thanks for taking us along again Steve . I dont get tired of this kind on content. That Same tractor didnt seem to happy when you first started it , but seemed to come right after a little running . Good to meet Roger . He has about the same body build as my dog Otis. Doesn't miss many meals . Dont forget to shut that fuel off mate ! Cheers
Thanks Scott. I think at least 2 cylinders are right down on call compression. I’ve swapped injectors between cylinders and it stays the same. It will work all day and has done like it but the fumes get to you. Glad you are enjoying the content. Roger sneaks up to where my parents live and my mum cooks him breakfast as well as dinner. When he stays with us he doesn’t get it because of his size😂 but he’s a great dog. He’s always about when we are playing with these machines. I actually did forget to turn it off. I called my dad because we went to Singapore the next morning and got him to turn it off. Thanks again
Hi mate no problem thanks for watching. I may do another video on it. A tree fell down behind my house so I might video the Sammy pulling it away maybe
That Eytie engine sounds great, thought it was going to be a smoker but it cleared up quite well. It would be a shame to just let it rot. If, as you say, you could get that blade to angle and it looks as though it's strong enough to push some dirt you could use it to flatten out a site for a new shed or two.
Hi mate. I think a set of injectors or at least get get them serviced she might be better. Still breathing very heavily. I’d use it all the time if you could angle it. I’ve got a cylinder here to use on it. All I need is a valve and I can make it happen.
Hi mate. It’s not bad stuff, for a mid strength anyway. I wasn’t aware that it made it all the way over to you blokes. That’s really interesting. I’m glad you supported it😅😅😅. Great one mate very good
Hi David yes it does mate. I’ve learned a lot over the years playing with them, plus I’m an earthmover mechanic through the day so it all adds to it. I’d rather play with the old equipment though. There are some interesting ones in n the collection and it’s still growing to which is good
I was sitting here drinking a Yuengling lager watching your video when you showed your beer. Sounds like you're gonna have to rebuild that starter. Cheers from eastern Tennessee
You have some nice old tractors there. I don't know much about the two that you drove, but the old Massey tractors you have were sold half way around the world and parts are still available. Keep those old things running and they might out live all of us. Keep up the good work.
Hi Brian thanks for watching mate. I don’t know a lot about those ones either mate. I used to have the 6ft slasher on that zetor, as it was in this video, but since I bought the Massey 165 off the family I put it on that and haven’t regretted it. Such a beautiful tractor to use with the power steering and everything is so easy compared to the zetor. I have 2 MF 35’s also with the 3 cylinder Perkins in them, both great tractors. I also have 2 MF 30’s which are made in France(I think). Those France ones are very hard to find parts for mate. Thanks again mate and there’s plenty more to come
@@stevesplacedownunder Here in the US there are a lot of old Massey Harris and Massey Ferguson tractors around. The 135's are still popular with a bunch of people. They are popular with collectors too, so if you have trouble getting parts, see if you can make contact with some people here. I'm sure there are some people here who know of places to obtain parts or ways to fix old parts. Good luck.
Just watched a video with the Same and the Zetor. You mentioned people say you talk too much but I enjoy hearing commentary and the back story of what ever machine or truck your working on. All you need now is a camera man or woman so you can have both your hands free. Keep the good stuff coming bro. I'm not the only one that enjoys it.
Hi mate thanks for reaching out. Yeah I like talking about what’s going on rather than just start it. I’d like a camera man but there’s not always someone around. It would make good content though. There’s plenty more to come mate and go and check out all my other ones. There’s a few there now. Thanks again
I love my SAME 105 Tiger. I was babying it to start with and it started to glaze the bores like bad valve stems. Me mate who worked at a dealer in the day said it was a problem so workm harder it cleared them up. I have some dealer manual s came with it. Don't let hydraulic oil leak out of implement s it will screw the transmission., A common gearbox problem.
Hi mate thanks. I’d say this one was never worked hard knowing where it first came from. It’s possible that that’s what contributed to the problem now with the engine. Thanks for advice on it👍👍
I drived such a model in 1974 - Fuel injection pump CAV England - since 1977 I owned any Same till today - in forest skidding with Tiger Six - makes a great job
Hi mate that’s great. Good to see you still have it. I’m sure they are great for skidding. Very stable and powerful. Thanks for the comment and watching
It would be good if you could find someone that could repair those rusty cabs. It would take a lot of bondo. Plus it would involve a lot of beer consumption. I like that Centauro tractor. That's a nice 4 banger I would put a couple of turbos on and give it some good power and put a larger blade on.
Thanks Neil yes I’d love to get a bloke to do some weekend work on them.. there’s going to be beer drunk regardless of what happens 😂. Yes she has a lot of potential. For a smaller tractor it has a lot of power even how It is at the moment. I like it to mate
*- Yup, refurbish the Centauro, new barrels, lap the valves, find the needed cylinder rings, tilt blade.* *-...good project for you and for your growing viewers.*
I don't think the engine is shot, I think the injectors and or the injection pump needs rebuilt. That tractors well worth fixing. Oh , and a starter lol.
Hi mate thanks for watching. It does breathe heavy but the injectors definitely are a problem too. I haven’t had them tested but it’s the first thing I will be doing. I bought a cheap crack tester recently so I will pull them out to have a look
Once I acquire it mate I will be doing just that. The people across the road own it at the moment but I will do another one on it soon because I want to test the injectors. That won’t help with blow by but will help it run evenly. Glad you like it mate thank you
I have run some of the larger Same tractors in Sweden (145hp Titan with a straight 6 turbo) and I also had to work on them and they were kind of finicky to tune and were a pain in the ass to get parts, BUT they were powerful and were decently reliable even under harsh conditions. Thanks for the video and enjoy!
Nice collection of tractors! I have an old Nuffield 10/60 but I’m looking to buy my neighbors old SAME Centurion 75. I love the old Same tractors! //New subscriber from Sweden
Hi mate thanks for subscribing and watching. Great stuff. Yes they are a good machine. This one needs a lot of work though. I haven’t got a Nuffield yet. How amazing from Sweden. Plenty more to come. I have a lot of videos up if you go through the channel. Thanks again 🙏🙏
@@stevesplacedownunder Sounds like I have lots of nice videos to go through on your channel! Stay safe and if you decide to fix that old Same I will definitely be watching!
Great video Steve! Surprised how difficult it was the fire up, when it started to smoke so quick I thought it would pick up. Interesting machine, never realised they had a V4. Subscribed!
Hi again mate. Yes it’s never been that hard to start but never sat that long either. It has needed a rebuild for a long time. Thanks for the sub mate and there’s plenty more to come
Another great video mate, I love your sense of humour. 'Hopefully I'll tip diesel all over the tractor and the grass and get none in the tank'. BRILLIANT!! You earned another 'sandwich' for that comment alone 🤣😂😂Cheers Steve, take care. Norm.
Hi Ken thanks for the nice comment. Yes I’m proud of the place. It’s a nice area. There will be plenty more mate so keep an eye out for next episodes. And yes thanks, I did forget. I went away the next day and I got my dad to go down and do it
Good job mate 👍, grew up on a farm as a kid, just bought 40 acres with old trucks and tractors on it so do the same trying to get the life back in them. Good to see beers on at the same time👍👍. Keep the videos coming mate.
Hi Shane thanks for watching and the nice comment mate. You sound just like my life mate which is a good way to live. You need to get them going mate. Beers are always here when I play. Serious work I wait till I’m finished but play time Is beer time. Plenty more to come Shane so stay around
Back in the day, McKeller's Tractors in Bauple Qld were Same dealers. Great tractor for hilly country. Lantana should be our states floral emblem don't you think? 😉
Gday Garry yes it should be our emblem mate it’s everywhere. I believe there were a few same dealers up that way. I’ve got parts for it from a bloke in Dungog in NSW before. That’s when it was used for farming. Once I Aquire it I will be pulling her down and searching for parts
I love both the Same and the Zetor. My dad owned an 1968 3511, great tractor, this 6911 one is just bigger, but in fact the same. And the Same tractors.... I worked with the Saturno 80, with an inline 4 cilinder. Also the Panther 90, and the Tiger 100, both 5 cilinders. Great simple tractors
Hi mate they are great tractors. The zetor is a really good powerful machine. I actually have a smaller one coming, a 3 cylinder one which is identical to this one but smaller. Good comment mate it’s great to see blokes appreciate this stuff rather than the British and American equipment all the time.
@@stevesplacedownunder I have friends here in the States that use Zetor and other makes, farming is about making a living, not making John Deere rich because they refuse to give information on their electronic systems.
Yes mate that’s correct. We have had the same problem here with no product support from them for a tractor at our work. In other way’s very helpful though
@@stevesplacedownunder If you need something from the States let me know, and I will try to assist this side of the world or find someone here that can.👍🇺🇸😎
There is mate. It’s a bit shaky at the start but I’ve upgraded my video equipment in as I went so it gets better as I learn to use it. Will get better mate as I grow it. I have plenty of toys here to create content with
That's great, a lot of tractors are there dut this 96 Zetor is good. I have at home 77 Zetor. He has been working for me meny years. I like tractors, Thank you for the video.
woow amazing, 4911 it's very old tractor. it's nice see the Zetor in your country because we have these machines written in our history. in our country we have a many this tractors and still working. I like wait for next video. see you
Yes mate it’s a 4911 and it sat for at least 28-30 years so hopefully I can do a first start on it. I will put up a community post about it in an hour or so. Keep an eye out for it. Yes they are in your history so I’m not sure how many were brought over to Australia. Certainly not a common machine here
So SAME tractors of that era didn’t have a duetz. They used the in-house same engine. My same leopard goes hard. 40 years old and I still use it for contracting. All day every day
Hi mate thank you. I can’t thank him enough for the shoutout. There’s plenty more after the one you’ve watched here. And plenty more to come so thanks again
Sure Steve why not man. I would put them to use somehow. Get them out of nothing else just to keep them working still. You can use them for hauling firewood with to.
I probably could have got the barrels and pistons etc for the old salami through work but we are closing up shop now. Any duetz dealer should be able to source the parts you need though
Thanks mate I would of probably been interested. I’d say it would be a fairly expensive job. I actually know a bloke here that works in a deutz dealer for stationary engines but should be the same thing. I will ask next time I’m there
@@stevesplacedownunder i just finished an engine for a Same Krypton, just got the guy going again i put new pistons, sleeves rod bearings etc no head or crank work and the final bill inc labour was around 20k (that included a clutch and other repairs too though) i believe the pistons, sleeves, ring and bearings were around 1000 bucks per cylinder, so yes not a cheap rebuild but your tractor would be worth a bit of coin in the current market. Mind you the reason it cane in because it had a coolant leak and the guy used dam water in substitute for coolant and the sleeves suffered electrolysis and pin holed one sleeve filling the cylinder with water
I worked as an agricultural machinery mechanic in Germany 25 years ago. Same tractors were always a pain, I didn't like them at all. unreliable, especially in winter and difficult to repair compared to the other brands we have served. Luckily there were only a few of them among our customers. There were also always problems obtaining spare parts. Still, a great performance and an entertaining video 👍🏻
This is great mate I love to hear what people think of different machines. I haven’t had anything to do with them except this one. More to come very soon on it and thanks for watching
@@stevesplacedownunder there are also people for whom these are the best tractors... personal taste and experience with the different brands are crucial. For me personally, the IHC/Case 1455XL was the optimum at that time. I also liked the Ford TWs, which didn't get much approval from my colleagues 😂
And a stubbie to ease the pressure of having to move all that lantana!! Hate the stuff. Have fun mate. Bloody hell - after watching you move that "lovely" flower and at double speed I could do with a beer also. I'm stuffed just watching.
Steve, you know what equipment you need regularly, so get those up to right first, then as time allows, bring all the rest up to right. One of the most successful independant farmers I knew in the US operated his grandfather's farm this way, every machine on it from the beginning was overhauled, repainted, and in garages, said it took 5 years to get it like that, equipment his dad & grandfather had just left sitting for decades took longest, but now if needed he can do small jobs around the farms without pulling out the expensive new prone to electronic failure mega-tractors which the old stuff now 'backs up' if the dealer can't get a service truck out quickly enough to repair the new electronics. If it couldn't be repaired, he bought another like it, and the original became his parts stock. only 2 ancient tractors and a couple of accessories were in that category.
Hi John thanks for watching. The ones I use are ok at the moment. They need a bit of work but nothing serious enough to stop it. I’ve heard a few of these stories now mate where the blokes are still farming with the old equipment or just prefer older equipment. It’s great that people are still using and restoring this stuff. I have that much stuff here at my place that I don’t know where to start
@@stevesplacedownunder Basically the same thing, he was in a bit better shape to start as most of their old stuff was still garaged in buildings too small for the newer replacements, and their farm had expanded largely after he took it over from his dad, so he wasn't having to reclaim an entire farm at the same time as you've been, that in itself is a remarkable feat worthy of a book, a video series, even a mini-documentary with photos if no video for CZcams.
Don't know about down south but South Burnett Tractor Parts in Qld do a lot of Same parts and Fiat tractor and dozer parts still and are good to deal with.
Hi Rob thanks for watching. I have heard of them mate when I’ve been looking for parts for other tractors. I should ring and get a rough quote on what the parts would be
Great stuff Rob thanks. I have a Fiat here. It’s a 513 so she’s old and we have a later model new holland which is a great tractor. There’s a mob close to us that do new holland and later fiat agri parts. The old fiat I don’t use so haven’t needed parts for her. I should do an episode on it actually.
@@stevesplacedownunder oh righto yeah I had a 50ci fiat dozer it had been "rebuilt" started getting hot pulled the head and found 2 off the linner heights a 4 thou under the spec the head studs bent and rusted out and the crank had huge scores in it the more I looked the worse it got 😂. Ended up getting a 513 engine on a stand that was used to drive a pump that had been rebuilt as a spare but never used was very lucky to find it. Was a handy dozer when going for it's size but I got to know a lot more about the mechical then I wanted too 😂
The early SAME were good old brutes .I used to drive a 1980s SAME tiger 6 105 and you could not fault it .I am not too keen on the newer ones they seem to lack guts .
Hi mate this is the only one I’ve ever had anything to do with and yes it is a good old brute. New ones I can’t really comment but I’d believe it. I think that goes with a few makes
Good to see the Centrauo Running. They were very popular on the South Coast and Southern Highlands. She'd be a 1970 - 1972. Parts for the old Same's are getting hard to get but I'd be trying Aussie Ag Spares in Sepparton (Darrell) Burnett's in QLD and D & D in Griffith and John Wright in Kangaroo Valley ( He's a wealth of knowledge. All really good to deal with, we have a couple of Older and Newer Same's we run along with a couple of David Brown's.
Hi mate yeah ok I didn’t know they were popular down there. Parts were hard to get years ago so I’d imagine it’s harder now. I remember it broke a part in the lift behind the seat. We ended up finding one in Dungog. Had to buy the whole lift component and pull the part from it. It was a fairly technical process to fit and adjust. Another bloke also recommended Burnett’s. Once I buy the tractor off the owner I will pull her down and see what she needs. Good to see you run David brown tractors. I like them. I have one old 30c petrol here and a 1200 I think it is but it’s locked up. I haven’t looked into what’s wrong with that one. I got it in that condition
@@stevesplacedownunder they were hugely popular in the mountain areas and with the grape growers. We had one of the main importers here in Robertson and for 30 years just about every second tractor was a Same. Yeah parts can be hard to get even for the newer ones but they can be found. The Centrauo being a two year only model will be hard to get bits for but they are a great machine and very unique with the V4 and fairly rare even by Euro standards . Grandpa and Dad started with fordson and then went to David Brown's and then Same. Rather than trade them in we just built another shed and kept them. Ive got a 950, a 66 880 a 66 990 a 72 1210 4wd and a 84 1494. The Same's 81 Centruion 75, 82 Buffalo 130 a 97 Dorado 70, 2001 Dorado 85 and a 2006 Dorado 86. All have their specific jobs that they are good at and they are all turn key ready for a days work.
It has a great Center of gravity mate very stable. I can see why they like them in the mountains. I have never seen another Centauro around here. It sounds like you have a great collection of equipment there too mate with is great. Good to see that they are kept and still going. Great stuff
Thank you for saving this one. I grew up with a SAME Centurion 75 Export, also air cooled. Good times, great memories.
Thanks for watching mate. They are great old tractors

Thank you mate it’s my pleasure
Would love to see a video series of you fixing this up. Neat video, thanks for sharing.
Hi mate. Once I eventually own it I will definitely be doing a tear down of the engine and doing a rebuild video on it
Same tractor needs a little loving. Thanks for posting
Yes mate she does. Unfortunately I haven’t got near enough shed space to put them all in
A Same tractor in Australia??
Wow😳
Greetings from Italy!! 👋👋
Paul
Hi over there Paul. Yes mate there are a lot of them over here
I used to work with Same tractors in the 1970ies. Very good sturdy and strong tractors made in Italy. A bit rough to work with but really good stuff. I loved them!!
Love seeing those older diesel motors get fired up!! Thanks Dude!!
My pleasure mate thank you
Mate you have some great old tractors there real beasts ! Loved your channel mate , keep up the great work ! Thanks from Tas 🍺🍺
Hi Steve thanks for the comment mate. I’m glad you liked it and there’s plenty more to come.

Yeah I’ve subscribed to those blokes. Good channel. I sometimes get frustrated watching though when I can see what’s going on😂
👍Super !! This magical sound of a revived diesel.
Thanks mate
Lantana!! Another "flower" brought to AU by know-all gardeners, settlers and foreigners!!!!
Dreadful stuff mate
Bloody Argentinian curse.
Thanks for the latest video mate, she deffo needs an overhaul.
Thanks for watching Stuart yes it does mate. I’d love to attack it and see what’s going on with it
Great job Steve, keep the cold snacks flowing, do whatever Roger says and you can’t go wrong 😊
Thanks mate, he’s there to lend a hand mate indeed 😊😊
Another you beaut revival, Steve. Always love watching these old buggers come back to life. 👍
Hi Mick yes mate I love getting them going. Certainly how I like spending time
That is a cracking machine with the blade on and that Zetor is a big un, you can chat all day while you're filming Cheers
I love the twin exhaust stacks 👌
Hi Greg yes mate they look great. They are also real being a bee engine which is good 👍👍🤘🤘
The joy of having enough ground that you don’t need to scrap anything 😎😎🏴🏴
Nice one Stevo. That's some excellent stubby control there mate, around 34:25
Mate that’s how it needed to be. 🤣🤣
I did not know that Zetor was sold also in to Australia...nice video...and nice collection
Hi mate yes I’ve seen a few just in our area. I know of another smaller one just up the road. Thanks for nice words👋👋👋👍👍👍
Bring back the Sammy. Very nice tractor. I have only seen one other. I really like them. Thank you for showing it off.
Hi mate no problem thanks for watching. I may do another video on it. A tree fell down behind my house so I might video the Sammy pulling it away maybe
Tractor heaven! Congrats!
I have small new tractor and i love it.
Thank you mate. I’m sure it’s a great thing to have and use

Interesting collection of tractors. It must give you an education when you work on them.

Yes mate they are good tractors. This one has been great over the years

The place looks amazing. Twenty two acres. I am quite jealous. I hope you have many happy years with your family
Thank you John. I certainly hope so too mate
Good job. Very nice Zetor.
*- Yup, refurbish the Centauro, new barrels, lap the valves, find the needed cylinder rings, tilt blade.*
*-...good project for you and for your growing viewers.*
Hi Robert that’s right mate. That’s everything I’d like to do to it. I’d like to pull it down and inspect it all to see what’s going on with it
On all the older same there’s a button on the end of the injector pump that you can pull out and it makes it much easier to start.
Yes mate but this one is lack of compression I’d say.
My same just starts first pop. I’ve never noticed the button you mentioned I’ll look tomorrow
Well done! Another great tractor brought back to life 😅
Hi Anthony thank you
You always find these cool gold mines of neglected stuff. Definitely need a bottle holder for each rig.
I’ve found a few good things mate yes. I’ve got a little cooler bag with a few of those elastic straps that can adapt to most vehicles
I don't think the engine is shot, I think the injectors and or the injection pump needs rebuilt. That tractors well worth fixing. Oh , and a starter lol.
Hi mate thanks for watching. It does breathe heavy but the injectors definitely are a problem too. I haven’t had them tested but it’s the first thing I will be doing. I bought a cheap crack tester recently so I will pull them out to have a look
keep up the good work Steve , i would also love to see the rebuld
Once I acquire it mate I will be doing just that. The people across the road own it at the moment but I will do another one on it soon because I want to test the injectors. That won’t help with blow by but will help it run evenly. Glad you like it mate thank you
I have run some of the larger Same tractors in Sweden (145hp Titan with a straight 6 turbo) and I also had to work on them and they were kind of finicky to tune and were a pain in the ass to get parts, BUT they were powerful and were decently reliable even under harsh conditions. Thanks for the video and enjoy!
Thanks for sharing this story also mate. Very good indeed
これはすごい！長年放置されていたとは思えない力強いエンジン音！
It is mate yes
Nice collection of tractors! I have an old Nuffield 10/60 but I’m looking to buy my neighbors old SAME Centurion 75. I love the old Same tractors! //New subscriber from Sweden
Hi mate thanks for subscribing and watching. Great stuff. Yes they are a good machine. This one needs a lot of work though. I haven’t got a Nuffield yet. How amazing from Sweden. Plenty more to come. I have a lot of videos up if you go through the channel. Thanks again 🙏🙏
@@stevesplacedownunder Sounds like I have lots of nice videos to go through on your channel! Stay safe and if you decide to fix that old Same I will definitely be watching!
Great John yes mate hopefully you enjoy and stay tuned for further adventures
Heeey Zetor... I'm suprprised to see it there. Anyway - grettings from Czech Republic.
Hi thanks for the comment. Great to here from someone over there. Good tractor too
Great video Steve! Surprised how difficult it was the fire up, when it started to smoke so quick I thought it would pick up. Interesting machine, never realised they had a V4. Subscribed!
Hi again mate. Yes it’s never been that hard to start but never sat that long either. It has needed a rebuild for a long time. Thanks for the sub mate and there’s plenty more to come
And air cooled thought Deutz , Volkswagen were all that where Air cold!
Steve's Place Down under Keep Up the good 👍 work 💕 all those trucks And videos Billy Lizza Uniontown pa USA
Hi Billy thanks again for your support mate. There will be plenty more coming
Great video Steve👍
Great thanks Neil 👍👍👍
Another great video mate, I love your sense of humour. 'Hopefully I'll tip diesel all over the tractor and the grass and get none in the tank'. BRILLIANT!! You earned another 'sandwich' for that comment alone 🤣😂😂Cheers Steve, take care. Norm.
Hi mate yes I say it how I’m thinking or from experience knowing what will happen 😂. Thanks for watching Norm
That is a very cool looking old girl ! I would love to see it restored..
One day mate when the channel grows and allows me some more time to play
Woooouw...! really good, I like it, thaks
Thank you mate
I really like when you pan around so we can see the landscape, beautiful ! what id like to see, is more. and turn your fuel taps off.
Hi Ken thanks for the nice comment. Yes I’m proud of the place. It’s a nice area. There will be plenty more mate so keep an eye out for next episodes. And yes thanks, I did forget. I went away the next day and I got my dad to go down and do it
H@@stevesplacedownunder x7
my grandfather worked in the Same factory here in Italy. I dind't know they were sold outside Italy!! Shed a tear
Hi mate yes a lot made it over to Australia
Good job mate 👍, grew up on a farm as a kid, just bought 40 acres with old trucks and tractors on it so do the same trying to get the life back in them. Good to see beers on at the same time👍👍. Keep the videos coming mate.
Hi Shane thanks for watching and the nice comment mate. You sound just like my life mate which is a good way to live. You need to get them going mate. Beers are always here when I play. Serious work I wait till I’m finished but play time Is beer time. Plenty more to come Shane so stay around
28:00 aww cute lil tough pup
Thank you😊😊😊😊
Very interesting, thanks!
Gday Merlin thanks mate. 👍👍🤘🤘
Back in the day, McKeller's Tractors in Bauple Qld were Same dealers. Great tractor for hilly country. Lantana should be our states floral emblem don't you think? 😉
Gday Garry yes it should be our emblem mate it’s everywhere. I believe there were a few same dealers up that way. I’ve got parts for it from a bloke in Dungog in NSW before. That’s when it was used for farming. Once I Aquire it I will be pulling her down and searching for parts
Another Great Video Buddy Cheers,
Thank you mate. I’m trying to provide some good entertainment 😃
@@stevesplacedownunder Your already doing that mate keep up the good work Buddy
I love both the Same and the Zetor. My dad owned an 1968 3511, great tractor, this 6911 one is just bigger, but in fact the same. And the Same tractors.... I worked with the Saturno 80, with an inline 4 cilinder. Also the Panther 90, and the Tiger 100, both 5 cilinders. Great simple tractors
Hi mate they are great tractors. The zetor is a really good powerful machine. I actually have a smaller one coming, a 3 cylinder one which is identical to this one but smaller. Good comment mate it’s great to see blokes appreciate this stuff rather than the British and American equipment all the time.
@@stevesplacedownunder
I have friends here in the States that use Zetor and other makes, farming is about making a living, not making John Deere rich because they refuse to give information on their electronic systems.
Yes mate that’s correct. We have had the same problem here with no product support from them for a tractor at our work. In other way’s very helpful though
@@stevesplacedownunder If you need something from the States let me know, and I will try to assist this side of the world or find someone here that can.👍🇺🇸😎
Hi mate thanks a lot I will keep that in mind. There’s probably a lot more stuff available over there
Super že Česko Slovenske stroje sa nájdu aj na opačnej strane zemegule 😀👍
Just found your channel, love it! Subscribed!
Hi mate thanks. Glad to have you around. Go back through the channel, there are some interesting videos
@@stevesplacedownunder I will do. From what I've seen just by skimming through, there looks to be some good content!
There is mate. It’s a bit shaky at the start but I’ve upgraded my video equipment in as I went so it gets better as I learn to use it. Will get better mate as I grow it. I have plenty of toys here to create content with
@Steve’s Place Down Under I look forward to it! I love seeing vids of Aussie, my family are up in Queensland, I'm stuck in NZ.
Just found the channel ... keep on going buddy, I'd love me an old same .. see ya next time
Hi mate thanks. There’s plenty more to come so stay around. The Same is a good tractor
Quite amazing!!!
G'day Steve found your video's the other day when you started the blitz so far so good
Hi mate thanks for watching. It will only get better so stay around for plenty more to come
That's great, a lot of tractors are there dut this 96 Zetor is good. I have at home 77 Zetor. He has been working for me meny years. I like tractors, Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching mate. The zetor is a good tractor yes. I’m sure it’s been a great tractor. I got another one only yesterday, a smaller 4911.
woow amazing, 4911 it's very old tractor. it's nice see the Zetor in your country because we have these machines written in our history.
in our country we have a many this tractors and still working. I like wait for next video. see you
Yes mate it’s a 4911 and it sat for at least 28-30 years so hopefully I can do a first start on it. I will put up a community post about it in an hour or so. Keep an eye out for it. Yes they are in your history so I’m not sure how many were brought over to Australia. Certainly not a common machine here
Great vid Steve ! Just Subscribed. The Duetz is an awesome bullet proof power plant !
Thanks for watching and the sub mate very much appreciated. Hopefully we will do more with this one soon enough
So SAME tractors of that era didn’t have a duetz. They used the in-house same engine. My same leopard goes hard. 40 years old and I still use it for contracting. All day every day
Great stuff mate. I think this one is a Same engine. Looks Deutz but got a few SAME parts on it
Would love to have that Italian tractor! That would make a great woods tractor! Put a cage on that thing and go yank some timber!
It certainly would handle the job mate
Gotta have the pup spray the crack while you jump the solenoid.
Subscribed
Fantastic mate thank you
Love the videos mate
Hi mate great stuff thanks for watching. Stay around for more. Trying to get one out weekly
Don't forget to turn the fuel off on your centuro tractor either mate. As in the diesel fuel.
New sub here from Matty's Workshop. Looking forward to watchijg more
Hi mate thank you. I can’t thank him enough for the shoutout. There’s plenty more after the one you’ve watched here. And plenty more to come so thanks again
Sure Steve why not man. I would put them to use somehow. Get them out of nothing else just to keep them working still. You can use them for hauling firewood with to.
Yeah John I’d like to use most of them mate
I probably could have got the barrels and pistons etc for the old salami through work but we are closing up shop now. Any duetz dealer should be able to source the parts you need though
Thanks mate I would of probably been interested. I’d say it would be a fairly expensive job. I actually know a bloke here that works in a deutz dealer for stationary engines but should be the same thing. I will ask next time I’m there
@@stevesplacedownunder i just finished an engine for a Same Krypton, just got the guy going again i put new pistons, sleeves rod bearings etc no head or crank work and the final bill inc labour was around 20k (that included a clutch and other repairs too though) i believe the pistons, sleeves, ring and bearings were around 1000 bucks per cylinder, so yes not a cheap rebuild but your tractor would be worth a bit of coin in the current market. Mind you the reason it cane in because it had a coolant leak and the guy used dam water in substitute for coolant and the sleeves suffered electrolysis and pin holed one sleeve filling the cylinder with water
Watching here mindoro occidental province Philippines....
Hi mate thanks
Hi Steve another banging video bruv
Hi Mark thank you mate
I worked as an agricultural machinery mechanic in Germany 25 years ago. Same tractors were always a pain, I didn't like them at all. unreliable, especially in winter and difficult to repair compared to the other brands we have served. Luckily there were only a few of them among our customers. There were also always problems obtaining spare parts.
Still, a great performance and an entertaining video 👍🏻
This is great mate I love to hear what people think of different machines. I haven’t had anything to do with them except this one. More to come very soon on it and thanks for watching
@@stevesplacedownunder there are also people for whom these are the best tractors... personal taste and experience with the different brands are crucial. For me personally, the IHC/Case 1455XL was the optimum at that time. I also liked the Ford TWs, which didn't get much approval from my colleagues 😂
❤
Bloody rippa Steve luv it
Great video👍👍🇺🇸👍👍👍
Thanks again Joe. I’m hoping to get more out on a regular basis so stay tuned
good to see you getting some gold vitamins good job mate.
Gday mate thanks for watching. Mate the gold vitamins are a must in theses circumstances
Yes I subscribed to your channel already to Steve. I liked it.& Commented on them to for ya. Good job. Keep it up.& Keep those videos coming to man?
Thanks for subscribing John. Yeah mate stay around there’s plenty more coming
And a stubbie to ease the pressure of having to move all that lantana!! Hate the stuff. Have fun mate.
Bloody hell - after watching you move that "lovely" flower and at double speed I could do with a beer also. I'm stuffed just watching.
Hi mate. A stubbie needs to be had while doing silly things like this. It’s dreadful stuff and it’s everywhere here. Thanks for watching
Steve, you know what equipment you need regularly, so get those up to right first, then as time allows, bring all the rest up to right.
One of the most successful independant farmers I knew in the US operated his grandfather's farm this way, every machine on it from the beginning was overhauled, repainted, and in garages, said it took 5 years to get it like that, equipment his dad & grandfather had just left sitting for decades took longest, but now if needed he can do small jobs around the farms without pulling out the expensive new prone to electronic failure mega-tractors which the old stuff now 'backs up' if the dealer can't get a service truck out quickly enough to repair the new electronics.
If it couldn't be repaired, he bought another like it, and the original became his parts stock. only 2 ancient tractors and a couple of accessories were in that category.
Hi John thanks for watching. The ones I use are ok at the moment. They need a bit of work but nothing serious enough to stop it. I’ve heard a few of these stories now mate where the blokes are still farming with the old equipment or just prefer older equipment. It’s great that people are still using and restoring this stuff. I have that much stuff here at my place that I don’t know where to start
@@stevesplacedownunder Basically the same thing, he was in a bit better shape to start as most of their old stuff was still garaged in buildings too small for the newer replacements, and their farm had expanded largely after he took it over from his dad, so he wasn't having to reclaim an entire farm at the same time as you've been, that in itself is a remarkable feat worthy of a book, a video series, even a mini-documentary with photos if no video for CZcams.
It’s great mate that he’s done this. I wish I had of started documenting all this stuff when I first arrived here, it would of been a great series.
@@stevesplacedownunder Yes it would have! good on you mate for what you do from a yank.👍🇺🇸😎
Don't know about down south but South Burnett Tractor Parts in Qld do a lot of Same parts and Fiat tractor and dozer parts still and are good to deal with.
Hi Rob thanks for watching. I have heard of them mate when I’ve been looking for parts for other tractors. I should ring and get a rough quote on what the parts would be
@@stevesplacedownunder yeah be worth a call I use the for my Fiat,New Holland,Same and landai parts. Love your videos too mate your doing well👌
Great stuff Rob thanks. I have a Fiat here. It’s a 513 so she’s old and we have a later model new holland which is a great tractor. There’s a mob close to us that do new holland and later fiat agri parts. The old fiat I don’t use so haven’t needed parts for her. I should do an episode on it actually.
@@stevesplacedownunder oh righto yeah I had a 50ci fiat dozer it had been "rebuilt" started getting hot pulled the head and found 2 off the linner heights a 4 thou under the spec the head studs bent and rusted out and the crank had huge scores in it the more I looked the worse it got 😂. Ended up getting a 513 engine on a stand that was used to drive a pump that had been rebuilt as a spare but never used was very lucky to find it. Was a handy dozer when going for it's size but I got to know a lot more about the mechical then I wanted too 😂
great video mate
Hi mate thanks for watching
Very cool!
would love have old beast like like that in the usa
The early SAME were good old brutes .I used to drive a 1980s SAME tiger 6 105 and you could not fault it .I am not too keen on the newer ones they seem to lack guts .
Hi mate this is the only one I’ve ever had anything to do with and yes it is a good old brute. New ones I can’t really comment but I’d believe it. I think that goes with a few makes
I love my 105 tiger. It's a great machine. It's my main farming tractor. Love the brute
First step after year through the grass.🇹🇷
Good to see the Centrauo Running. They were very popular on the South Coast and Southern Highlands. She'd be a 1970 - 1972. Parts for the old Same's are getting hard to get but I'd be trying Aussie Ag Spares in Sepparton (Darrell) Burnett's in QLD and D & D in Griffith and John Wright in Kangaroo Valley ( He's a wealth of knowledge. All really good to deal with, we have a couple of Older and Newer Same's we run along with a couple of David Brown's.
Hi mate yeah ok I didn’t know they were popular down there. Parts were hard to get years ago so I’d imagine it’s harder now. I remember it broke a part in the lift behind the seat. We ended up finding one in Dungog. Had to buy the whole lift component and pull the part from it. It was a fairly technical process to fit and adjust. Another bloke also recommended Burnett’s. Once I buy the tractor off the owner I will pull her down and see what she needs. Good to see you run David brown tractors. I like them. I have one old 30c petrol here and a 1200 I think it is but it’s locked up. I haven’t looked into what’s wrong with that one. I got it in that condition
@@stevesplacedownunder they were hugely popular in the mountain areas and with the grape growers. We had one of the main importers here in Robertson and for 30 years just about every second tractor was a Same. Yeah parts can be hard to get even for the newer ones but they can be found. The Centrauo being a two year only model will be hard to get bits for but they are a great machine and very unique with the V4 and fairly rare even by Euro standards . Grandpa and Dad started with fordson and then went to David Brown's and then Same. Rather than trade them in we just built another shed and kept them. Ive got a 950, a 66 880 a 66 990 a 72 1210 4wd and a 84 1494. The Same's 81 Centruion 75, 82 Buffalo 130 a 97 Dorado 70, 2001 Dorado 85 and a 2006 Dorado 86. All have their specific jobs that they are good at and they are all turn key ready for a days work.
It has a great Center of gravity mate very stable. I can see why they like them in the mountains. I have never seen another Centauro around here. It sounds like you have a great collection of equipment there too mate with is great. Good to see that they are kept and still going. Great stuff
My grandson loves your tractors 😅
Thank you mate
Gotta love the metaphor for the ether and moonshine 😂
It’s a must mate🤣
Cool pup.
🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘
I have a same Delfino I need a steering box can’t find one love the tractor it’s 4 wheel drive
