Very nice to see those great old Ford's working, these are real tractors! Nice video!
That's the way to get all your fieldwork done in one day!
Even the old Ford Major and Ford 5000 are gettin' the job done.
My father farmed for 40 years with nothing bigger than 3 Ford 5000 with duals, eventually upgrading later to a 7600 (in 1981) and for the final few years, a 7710 (1990). It might have taken 2 weeks to get all of the fields fitted up for planting, but the work always gone done on time and without expensive Bank Payments for newer or bigger equipment.
My father attributes much of his long success as a farmer to NOT having bank payments to make. He saved up and paid CASH for pretty much every piece of equipment he ever bought. 90-day Loans is about the only financing my father would ever take on. Meanwhile, most other farms with bigger tractors and equipment went out of business when they could not pay their bankers. I even know the story of one farmer who has spent the past 20 years working as an EMPLOYEE on the farm he once OWNED, but is now owned by the bankers.
I'll Love Blue till my Dying Day . Thank you George great filming plus music to our Ears .
Regards
Some beautiful examples of days gone by... Thanks for sharing George enjoyed very much....
I bet you had a great day there George, that 8830 wow - sure is a lovely machine. Brilliant video and what a way to have enjoyed your special day!
That 8830 is an absolute beaut! Would love an old 30 series powershift!
Awesome video ! The sound from that FW 60 ! The major with the bomford chisel plough just shows what you can do with 2wd in the right conditions!
Now that is what you call a dream video to sit back and enjoy just wonderful to a Ford nut.
every one gets excited about the big old girls and i can see why but for me the best parts were the 2wd just always drawn to them lots of happy memory's growing up i guess.
stunning video pal thank you for sharing this and a very happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday George, great video lovely to see the Fords in action👍🏻
George I wish I had of known about this I would of loved to go along to this. I live a 5 minute drive from Devizes. Glad that you made this video so that I didn't miss out completely.
Great Ford day bring's back a blast from the past , I spent many hours on a lot of those great old girls !! Happy Birthday !!!
Happy Birthday!! Mine was last week. Great to see these old tractors in the field. Nice job on the video!!
What a great gift from liz, Just love the ol' Fords. It is good that we still can look back and see some of our lovely machines of the day. Shame that a hand full of ford owners haven't kept up the maintenance on their machines. When the tractors past the point of no return very sad to see them get driven into the hedge row and lost for good. "Happy video day George".
Wow, what a great and big Ford's !!
Happy birthday George , some lovely plant there , enjoy your day and I hope you get over the flu soon , I'm nursing one here myself and it's a bit of a bar steward . 👍🏻😜👴🏻
I love the 8630 and the tw15. My father had an 8630 I just love the simplicity of the gear box.
Happy Birthday George your man on the major was hard on the tractor, all day as well by the looks of it.
The 8340 looked a good tool and the the big fws look brill, happy birthday George 😀👍
the 2000, 3000, 5000 were my favourite tractors to do a nice fast clutch change back in the days !
Happy birthday 🎂 🎉🎉🍺 George , cracking line up of tractors great to see the blue force 👍
Happy Birthday George . You are one of the greatest CZcamsrs ever. KEEP HER LIT. Have a great day 👌👌👍👍🎉🎉
Great vid George, thank's for sharing it with us .
I drove an 8830 when I was a kid 25 years ago, I remember driving alongside a massive boulder in the yard and being able to push it aside with the front wheels just using my little finger on the steering wheel. The air conditioning was nice too and the automatic mode on the powershift transmission. The most memorable part of the experience for me was filling it up with diesel, it took about an hour!
Now I'm a big boy and have my own tractor, an enormous Kubota B4200...
Happy Birthday George, what a great day to spend your Birthday. Keep up with the vids mate 🚜💨👍🏻
A big Happy Birthday from Ireland. Keep her lit.
Great video George! I love the sound of some on them Ford's!
Excellent video!!!
A big and strong hug!
Happy birthday and great video the 8830 with duals on looked great.
Happy Birthday, man does that FW-30 run smooth. My faw in the video for sure. I like all of the fords/NH do to my own history with them, I know a lot of people out there and sometimes myself know there are better tractors out there, but there's just something about "the blue paint" that is hard to ignore.
Happy Birthday George! Think that is the event for your old girl next year with your plough
Merry Christmas, in a seriousness happy birthday! Hope you had a great day
Happy Birthday George and what a lovely present from your lovely wife Liz. Nice to see some older blue power at work and play and I am guessing you had a great day. When are we going to get some more vids of you doing field work in your new Fast Trac?
Happy Birthday ol' boy. Have a good one.
Many happy returns George.

Ta Ta George and Happy Birthday. Personal favourite for me is the County 1184 TW. Did you get to meet Andrew Collier who helped organise the day? Seems like a nice chap and contributes to Classic Tractor magazine.
Happy birthday.

there ya go a project for ya ! www.robsontractors.co.uk/details/4333
You'll get me in trouble! Very tidy, although I'd rather have an FW join the TW in the stable
There's an old FW in a shed by the A14 at godmanchester. Used to have one on a farm I worked on in the 80s. Never let me in it tho
I have seen that one tucked in the shed by the A14!
Great vid George and Happy Birthday! Some cracking bits of kit there. This might be a bit of a stupid question but what do they do with the land afterwards? Is it just gone over again once everyones gone and then planted up?
nice video happy birthday george
Happy Birthday 🇩🇰
Love them majors
some nice Väderstad equipments over there! made in Sweden
Happy birthday 🎂
ford the best tractor of all age
I drive past this field most days, currently trying to buy a workshop right next to the field.
Happy birthday from all at pfa
