The Farmall 340 Gas: Paint - good from far but far from good… Seems like a nice tractor though but has lots of little issues… PA-6 USA nice drive. I drove part of it last year. I’m hoping to get down there later this year, and passer by this auction site when I go, Thanks again for sharing!
That 460 was a diesel at one time cause of the big sediment bowl the glow plug box on the dash and that’s why there is bondo on the 460 emblems it’s to cover up the word diesel
Those old Fords are still very popular here in my part of southern Missouri. In fact, I heard a guy say recently that he wishes he could find a good 7700 to swap his new Kioti for. It's getting harder and harder to find them in good shape. Now that I think about it, I guess I've run more Ford tractors than anything else. My favorite being the 7700 we used for running the big hay baler. Still a Farmall guy though!

We had a 175D good tractor The AC 175D had the same Perkins diesel in it as the MF175D. But the AC 175 seemed heavier with a beefier rear end.

Depends what your looking for? Do you want a big tractor do you want a newer style, I like the older tractors because you can work on them. I tend to favor the older John Deere's like the 4840 or the 2840 the 2950 I don't know if it had transmission problems but it is duel manual stick i never heard about problems with them it is what I prefer over hydro. The White might be on my list just because it has a 3208 Cat engine you can still get engines all over the place for it. The Ford and the Massey's are nice and the Kubota is really nice. Don't really want those old gasoline tractors.
Not much there for me either but I have put a lot of hours on a JD 4840 back in the 80s for a neighbor and really liked it ! But grew up IH and thats all we have and will stay that way !
7710 is probably a eurospec out of Canada imported from England. Those fenders are the European style. It should have had a light bar in front of the lower grill. They were building them in Romeo Michigan for the US market, and building them in Basildon, England for the rest of the world. Lots of components for the US spec’ed ford tractors from the 1000 series & up were manufactured in Basildon, with final assembly in Romeo. The item to watch at this auction is the Kinze 3500 6 row planter. It’s going to bring the money. prebidding is already at $20,000
1155 MF, I had a neighbor that had a bunch of those old Ferguson tractors and they always ran. As for the 460 I like the gas engine in those old tractors, they're gonna start. If I'm buying diesel I'm looking at the 56, 66, 86, or 88 is the way to go
The 4430 John Deere tractor had rear end problems. The l and m John Deere tractors were made for truck farms. In 1969 dad bought a 1959 model 95 John Deere combine. It turned out to be a good combine. We run it a couple yrs before we replaced anything.
I'm an IH guy but the Ford 7000 series tractors are excellent for their size. Turbo charged 4 cylinder at 85 hp is a great all around tractor even by today's standards. "Douche bag at 6 o'clock," love it.
Gotta chime in here. Nice little walk through on a few old iron tractors, but I have to say, the best tractor in that lineup is the Massey 1155 hands down. Don't get me wrong, the JD 4840 is also a beast of yesteryear, but beings that I grew up in the late 70s and my grandfather owned our local equipment dealership which was Massey Ferguson, we always had the newest and best Massey Ferguson tractors available, 1105, 1135 and the king 1978 - 1155. Those are the tractors at 12 and 13 I grew up with, thank you for this video.
The MF 135 diesel is one of MF's best smaller utility tractors that they ever made. The gas version was ok also, just not as valuable for resale, nor fuel efficient.
@Turbo Diesel we have a 230 diesel where I work, I love that thing. I feel like it's the perfect all around chore tractor. I wouldn't mind adding a 135 to my fleet down the road
@@johnnycampbell2719 The MF 230 is essentially a newer version of the MF 135. The MF 245, MF 250, and lighter-built MF 240 are all excellent tractors as well. I have a MF 135 diesel. Somewhere around a 1968 or 1970 model, as I recall. Has the earlier metal nose cone, instead of the later plastic/fiberglass one. Had a newer 1987 MF 250, but sadly, she burned up in a barn fire back in the early 2000's. There was just nothing left to save.
The trouble that I see with 135 Massey’s is that now most of them are pretty much worn, I know that they are a perfect sized utility tractor, most of what I see are due for an engine overhaul. Now if you were buying one with that in mind, then you would have a reasonably good tractor.
When I go to a tractor pull I always watch for something other then Red or Green . I would much rather watch a Oliver or a Allis pull. I like red and Green but you see so many on a regular basis. Yes I understand why they are very good that is why so many own them and I agree . Sort of like when you go to a car show and you see so many Chevrolets I get it I just like seeing something different once in a while.
If I was looking for a tractor of that size I’d have no problem buying that MF1155. That’s a nice looking tractor. Humble Haymaker out of VA runs an 1100.
I like the rough ones. I’ve always had better luck luck with the rough ones mechanically from the engine to the rear and to top the bottom front. The back round me painted up ones says there’s gonna be a mechanic issues.
@@FarmallFanatic 100% agree! The later ones in any given series will sometimes have drastic improvements over the earlier ones, such as heavier powertrain parts, better hydraulic capacities, etc. I used to own one of the very last Ford 8000 tractors. Loved it, but had to sell her back in 2013, due to divorce. Good news is that she went to a good, somewhat local to me home.
Seems like everyone and their brother decided to have an auction this weekend. I won't be able to make this one but I'll be watching online because there's a couple of things I'm interested in.
@@FarmallFanatic RG Mason up here in Angelica NY for one. Decent looking 460 Farmall and a clapped out 986 is really it for red power, but I'm not in the market for a tractor.
@@FarmallFanatic :Those IH 684's are a great tractor. That one just could use a little paint, which is nothing, really. Only things to really check out good are the 3pt & remote hydraulics (MCV valve) operation & the PTO clutch. Best thing about the 84 series utility tractors is how easy it is to replace the PTO clutch. You don't have to split the tractor to change the clutch discs, which was a superior design over almost everybody else's. Oh, and I'll guarantee that vertical muffler on it was brand new, & not just "high-temp painted". Because she's just a little ratty-looking, I'll bet you someone gets a great buy on that tractor.
Massey 1155 about 145 hp at the PTO, we had Ford 7710s that ran 104 hp an 110 hp at the PTO had been tweaked a little 🙄😁 drove a Kubota 128 over here for 5 yrs and it was a fantastic tractor couldn't fault it at all 🤔💪💪 Ford TW 35s were often putting out over 200hp superb Draft work tractor 💪👍 great video even without a lot of Red Power 💥 The MX 125 over here 🏴 is a 4 cylinder couldn't tell what that one was 🤔
The 340 is a 1958. 559 is #59 built. I am thinking that was a 460 diesel converted into a gas. The "Diesel" on the emblems was covered and the water trap was used as a sediment bowl, and the glow plug meter provision was there. On my last 2 auctions, there were lots of beat up John Deeres. I don't find the IH any worse than John Deere or Ford, but I see good ones and beat up ones of all. I do like the 340 and 504, as well as the Allis 175 and 530. But I, like you, can live without all of those tractors.
Wish I could watch this but I promised my boss I come in 4 hours early. Ugh this is why you never volunteer I always mis the good stuff lol. I’ll have to wait for the unlive .
All those tractors and not a modern drawbar among them, no pickup hitch, it would be like going back to the seventies (if of course you were going to use the tractor) the 2010 case is low hours.
Trans OK on 2840, just make sure hydraulics are good! If it's been neglected the hi/lol clutch pack is expensive to repair. We have one, and love using it with a 7 pod Kuhn disc mower. Make sure everything works as it should after it is fully warmed up!
@Glenn Schlorf : Well, you're kinda wrong. No such thing as a JD 2830 model. The JD 2840 was a pretty good utility tractor overall, with only some folks complaining of weak rear-end issues. They were never intended to be a heavy tillage tractor. To my knowledge, nothing was ever wrong with their actual transmissions, aside from the normal drive & pto clutch wear & tear & replacements. As for comparing the 2840 Deere to the MF 1155, you shouldn't. The 2 tractors aren't even comparable. The JD model 4630, or JD 4640 would be the 2 models that are directly comparable to the MF 1155. Although the overall tractor was decent, most folks are not very big fans of the MF 1155. Some were known to have engine issues & very costly transmission/rear-end failures, particularly when field worked hard, which is what they were built for. Also, for as much Hp as they produced, the V8 didn't produce all that much torque, for what they were. If my memory serves me correctly, they were about 200 ft-lbs lower on torque, when compared to the competition's 6-cylinder tractors. That's quite a lot less. They are a big heavy tractor with a powerful engine & weak drivetrains. Multi-power clutch failures, sunshaft & hydraulic pump drive failures, final drive failures, etc. For those reason(s), they earned a stigma & ya used to be able to buy the used MF 1155 model tractors for dirt cheap at auction, ($2,000 - $5,000 USD) because pretty much nobody wanted them. The lower Hp straight 6-cylinder turbo diesel MF 1105 & MF 1135 were better & more reliable tractors than the V8-powered 1155, as they were a little better matched to their powerplants, although even the MF 1135's had their share of drivetrain issues, when pushed hard.
My main tractors are red they work in the field. I bought a green one along with a red one brought it home because the green was cheap and it just sits in the shed because it quit running
Did that Maxxum say Hopf Equipment? That's local yocal for me! It's always red in the shed, put it to bed. I'd be in on the 460 for the right price, but really wish it had a fast hitch. I grew up on a 706, I love those 60's 6 cylinder gassers, even if they are thirsty.
@Farmall Fanatic : @15:35 : MF 1155 = 140 PTO Hp. Cat II or Cat III was available for the 3pt hitch. Looks to me like that one is a Cat II. (My "smaller" MF 1105 actually had the larger / stronger Cat III hitch with a factory quick-hitch.) And yes, that IS the factory MF top link on there. I always get a kick outta how you underestimate the rear tire tread depths on almost every tractor you look at. Those Goodyear rear tires on that 1155 have plenty of life left in them, and most likely the RH (furrow) tire was replaced more recently than the LH tire. Only wealthy people or the much larger operations will typically replace costly rear Ag R-1 tires in pairs. The rest of us only replace them when they're damaged beyond sensible repair, or totally bald. Those beasts don't command big money, because they fall into the "gap" of being too much tractor for smaller farms, and not enough or simply "too old" for today's large corporate farms. Thus, they sell on the cheaper end of the spectrum, commonly known as "cheap horsepower", in the used Ag sales world. Btw, this "big hoss" of a tractor will also drink nearly double the fuel of say, that JD 2840 or the Ford 7710, which average around 5.5 GPH, vs the MF 1155's 9.5 GPH of fuel consumption. So, it really all depends if you really need those extra 55 horses or not. Bigger is no longer desirable for today's small farmer, due to $5.00/gallon diesel fuel & generally much higher equipment maintenance & repair costs.
@@FarmallFanatic Fair enough, but I can tell you that brand new tractor tire lug depths can vary A LOT. For example, a Firestone "All Traction Field & Road" model R-1 Ag tire does not have really deep lugs, from day one. They also wear fairly quickly. As a side note: Another thing to note regarding Ag tractor rears is recognizing the deep-lug Rice & Cane versions of tires, vs the more common standard lower height 23° and alternating long bar/short bar V-bar Ag lug. Many people simply don't know or understand the differences these days, which is kind of understandable, given the overall decrease in farming in our country. Point is, really deep traction lugs don't necessarily equate to better tires. Sounds strange, I know, but hear me out... Unless you operate on regular wet/soft ground, a deep lug Rice & Cane tire will actually sustain damage to the tire from excessive lug flex, if regularly operated on harder soils. It's true. As far as physical dry rot appearance is concerned, that can also vary pretty widely. Some cracks in the tread here & there really don't mean much, and are mostly just cosmetic blemishes in nature, which don't affect their use. When the tires become heavily cracked throughout the tread depth as well as the sidewalls, & the black of the tire literally "rubs off" onto you when you touch it, then, they're on their way to being toast. What many people often misconstrue regarding Ag tires is that a low-speed bias tractor tire is NOT like their high-speed radial car tires. I've successfully run Ag tires that large operators considered "no good" for 20+ years or longer, with no issues. The most evil thing to happen is rogue tire punctures, which leak the damned CaCl ballast into the rims, prematurely accelerating the rim's demise from corrosion/rot. Rim condition is also something to ALWAYS pay attention to when buying ANY tractor. Those PAVT (Power Adjustable Variable Tread) power adjustable rims with the angled rails are really costly to replace VS the hoop-style bolt-on rims or clamp-on hump style rims.
Out of curiosity guys....looking at a yellow and blue matchbox tractor...a Ford.....any idea what model it is supposed to replicate?? (From the early 70s matchbox)
@Farmall Fanatic : @14:50 : That's the engine serial number, NOT the tractor's serial number. The JD 2840's tractor serial number is located on the tag on the right front bolster, just above the front axle area. Very common tag location on all of the utility series Deeres from the xx30, xx40, xx50, & xx55 series UTILITY tractors. You actually looked right past it when you were making the video, just after reading the engine's serial number tag aloud.
@@FarmallFanatic LOL yeah... Don't misinterpret my brand loyalty tho. I'm just a hardcore tractor fan, loyal to none. I love them all & own far, far too many different brands of them. Deere, MF, Farmall, Ford, A/C, Case... Then again, you can never have too many tractors... 🚜❤
@@FarmallFanatic : Yeah, I can't understand the modern-day thinking with how John Deere is running things. They've pretty much taken majority ownership control over all of their franchise dealerships and have forced them all to grow into mini-conglomerates. What's worst of all, is that they DON'T pay their help reasonable wages, they regularly hire people with no actual agricultural or farm experience, and they have morphed the sales of tractors to mimic that of modern-day junk disposable automobiles. Then, there's the whole "right to repair" issue with all the modern proprietary electronic crap that they sell. So yeah, I understand people's frustrations with them. That said, the best tractors they ever built existed from 1962 - around 1992ish. Basically the xx10, xx20, xx30, xx40, xx50, xx55, xx60 series through the early 1990's. Then, the turn of the century 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 series were still decent, yet radically different from their predecessors. In some ways better, but in many ways, worse.
I buy the Ford that's best value for money those yrs get to 40 series is questionable because transmission issues wife aunt uncle ran dealership east central Ohio.Lran ford's for 17 yrs 5600 7600 yrs two Ford 7710 front assist 7710 two drive synchrony shift 8 speed dual power 6 Forward and 8 reverse but I love pulling 1941 M with 9 speed which change PTO speed
@15:18 : There's plenty of undesirable info out there on the MF 1155 tractors. Apparently just haven't been talking to the right people (owners or mechanics), nor have you done your homework on them ahead of time. LOL That said, they're not a terrible tractor, but they can have some potentially fatal flaws that are very expensive to repair. Like most all old used equipment, you need to know what you're looking at, and you need to find out as much history as possible, on the specific machine that you are going to be bidding on.
Dude, you could find anybody to say any bad thing or good thing about a tractor. I'm telling you thats what IVE experienced. If it bothers you that much as to what i'm saying start your own channel see how it works out for you.
@@FarmallFanatic : Sorry, didn't mean to upset you. Just pointing out that they aren't as desirable as you might think. Those particular model 1155 tractors could ne bought so cheap years ago at auction, it wasn't even funny. Btw, before my Ford 8000, I had a MF 1105, and never had a lick of trouble with it.
@Farmall Fanatic : @11:05 Why? Because someone most likely stole the "mushroom style" air cleaner cap, that's why. They're surprisingly expensive to replace! (I recently bought a used one for one of my Farmall M's that was missing when I bought the tractor.) I really hate some people at auctions. They steal fuel caps, radiator caps, dipsticks, oil fill caps, ignition keys, deliberately sabotage engines so they won't start (to drive the auction sale price down), and much more. Just really, really watch people sometime. Sooner or later, I guarantee that you'll see undesirable things happen.
You would be well satisfied with the ford 7710 it can do a lot of work for little fuel
I believe that
Factory All-Fuel JD520. Nice find
Ferguson has always worked for me….old or new

When I go to a tractor pull I always watch for something other then Red or Green . I would much rather watch a Oliver or a Allis pull. I like red and Green but you see so many on a regular basis. Yes I understand why they are very good that is why so many own them and I agree . Sort of like when you go to a car show and you see so many Chevrolets I get it I just like seeing something different once in a while.
My first Farmall was a 340. Great little brush hoggin tractor. Wish I still had it.
If I was looking for a tractor of that size I’d have no problem buying that MF1155. That’s a nice looking tractor. Humble Haymaker out of VA runs an 1100.
I like the rough ones. I’ve always had better luck luck with the rough ones mechanically from the engine to the rear and to top the bottom front. The back round me painted up ones says there’s gonna be a mechanic issues.
A lot of times yes
I like that open station FORD, pretty neat!
@13:35 : Ford 7710 Serial #: BC618579 = 1990 model year.
2nd to last year of production for the 7710 model tractor. (1982 - 1991)
I always like to buy later years any kinks have been worked out.
@@FarmallFanatic 100% agree! The later ones in any given series will sometimes have drastic improvements over the earlier ones, such as heavier powertrain parts, better hydraulic capacities, etc.
I used to own one of the very last Ford 8000 tractors. Loved it, but had to sell her back in 2013, due to divorce. Good news is that she went to a good, somewhat local to me home.
One of the "should have boughts" that I passed on was a Ford 9600 and it only sold for $6600.
@@FarmallFanatic : Damn... yeah, I've been in that situation a time or 2 myself.
Seems like everyone and their brother decided to have an auction this weekend. I won't be able to make this one but I'll be watching online because there's a couple of things I'm interested in.
What other auction are you looking at
@@FarmallFanatic RG Mason up here in Angelica NY for one. Decent looking 460 Farmall and a clapped out 986 is really it for red power, but I'm not in the market for a tractor.
I liked the 684 and the Allis 175.
The 175 is nice.
@@FarmallFanatic :Those IH 684's are a great tractor. That one just could use a little paint, which is nothing, really.
Only things to really check out good are the 3pt & remote hydraulics (MCV valve) operation & the PTO clutch. Best thing about the 84 series utility tractors is how easy it is to replace the PTO clutch. You don't have to split the tractor to change the clutch discs, which was a superior design over almost everybody else's.
Oh, and I'll guarantee that vertical muffler on it was brand new, & not just "high-temp painted".
Because she's just a little ratty-looking, I'll bet you someone gets a great buy on that tractor.
Great preview. Love seeing that stuff.
Massey 1155 about 145 hp at the PTO, we had Ford 7710s that ran 104 hp an 110 hp at the PTO had been tweaked a little 🙄😁 drove a Kubota 128 over here for 5 yrs and it was a fantastic tractor couldn't fault it at all 🤔💪💪 Ford TW 35s were often putting out over 200hp superb Draft work tractor 💪👍 great video even without a lot of Red Power 💥 The MX 125 over here 🏴 is a 4 cylinder couldn't tell what that one was 🤔
The 340 is a 1958. 559 is #59 built. I am thinking that was a 460 diesel converted into a gas. The "Diesel" on the emblems was covered and the water trap was used as a sediment bowl, and the glow plug meter provision was there. On my last 2 auctions, there were lots of beat up John Deeres. I don't find the IH any worse than John Deere or Ford, but I see good ones and beat up ones of all. I do like the 340 and 504, as well as the Allis 175 and 530. But I, like you, can live without all of those tractors.
Looks like a good size auction but I bet they go high we shall see 🇺🇸🤔
This video was totally awesome, thankyou soo much,god bless 🙌🙏 you and your family 👪.
Thanks for watching
In my experience working with all kind of tractors as a farm hand n foreman. J D is the best, easy to fix n parts
Yep...and by far the most expensive to do both
The green one I already have one
I would want the 7710
My father has a John Deere m and I do remember as a child that he hauled manure with it the manure spreader was a John Deere 40 model
Wish I could watch this but I promised my boss I come in 4 hours early. Ugh this is why you never volunteer I always mis the good stuff lol. I’ll have to wait for the unlive .
It will be there
Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 in the house 🏠
Good day Allan. I am from Kitchener Waterloo area > So what part are you from? Thanks
I would take the 520 with out the paint instead of the one with the paint because I know alot of the time probably can get covered up by paint
Excellent video Gino :) also be interesting Older 424 International and Old roll crops go for plus John Deere too !
Cool 😊
nice to see the made in england on the 7710
If you like red power, which we know you do, you should like a blue one drive one time
Oh I like ford
I would like to have that Farmall 340. It looked really nice. Have a good week FF! See ya!
It didn't go for too high of a price
@@FarmallFanatic It looked well taking care of
@@LouisianaTractorworks I actually threw a bid in on it
@@FarmallFanatic wish you could have gotten it
No I definitely could have but I have my heart set on something else right now
Looked like a good looking 494 setting behind the plow and disc
It was
Love the auction videos
Yea JD 2950 had tranmission problems but I don't know why or what was the main issue
Farmall 1456 awd... dream tractor
Oh no doubt
Can’t ever beat an old Ford I will say.
You should get that rock picker and charge people to pick there rocks
Pretty much
All those tractors and not a modern drawbar among them, no pickup hitch, it would be like going back to the seventies (if of course you were going to use the tractor) the 2010 case is low hours.
I don't do modern...I'm tough as hell
@@FarmallFanatic 😂🍻
The Fords anytime
I like that 1155 can tractor
Was nice
1155 massey ferguson.... its The other shade of red... just becuase its green doesnt mean its better 2840 had trans issues
Trans OK on 2840, just make sure hydraulics are good! If it's been neglected the hi/lol clutch pack is expensive to repair. We have one, and love using it with a 7 pod Kuhn disc mower. Make sure everything works as it should after it is fully warmed up!
@Glenn Schlorf : Well, you're kinda wrong. No such thing as a JD 2830 model.
The JD 2840 was a pretty good utility tractor overall, with only some folks complaining of weak rear-end issues. They were never intended to be a heavy tillage tractor. To my knowledge, nothing was ever wrong with their actual transmissions, aside from the normal drive & pto clutch wear & tear & replacements.
As for comparing the 2840 Deere to the MF 1155, you shouldn't. The 2 tractors aren't even comparable.
The JD model 4630, or JD 4640 would be the 2 models that are directly comparable to the MF 1155.
Although the overall tractor was decent, most folks are not very big fans of the MF 1155. Some were known to have engine issues & very costly transmission/rear-end failures, particularly when field worked hard, which is what they were built for.
Also, for as much Hp as they produced, the V8 didn't produce all that much torque, for what they were. If my memory serves me correctly, they were about 200 ft-lbs lower on torque, when compared to the competition's 6-cylinder tractors. That's quite a lot less.
They are a big heavy tractor with a powerful engine & weak drivetrains. Multi-power clutch failures, sunshaft & hydraulic pump drive failures, final drive failures, etc.
For those reason(s), they earned a stigma & ya used to be able to buy the used MF 1155 model tractors for dirt cheap at auction, ($2,000 - $5,000 USD) because pretty much nobody wanted them.
The lower Hp straight 6-cylinder turbo diesel MF 1105 & MF 1135 were better & more reliable tractors than the V8-powered 1155, as they were a little better matched to their powerplants, although even the MF 1135's had their share of drivetrain issues, when pushed hard.
2840?
My main tractors are red they work in the field. I bought a green one along with a red one brought it home because the green was cheap and it just sits in the shed because it quit running
Did you notice that 7710 was built in England?
Yeah I was under the impression that all ten series were
Did you see the pie weights for the Ford small tractors
I believe I did yes
Please tell me why I actually get excited when I see you headed to an auction...🤔
Same reason I do, cause you don't know what you're going to find l o l
After watching the complete video I feel green and yellow paint is actually calming and relaxing you!Possibly putting you in a trance?
It's a very controllable trance where I have no train of thought of my own
@@FarmallFanatic I hope this isn't how we change into a democrat!
Well that will never happen
I like the AC 175 or the Kubota if I needed a big tractor- but I don't 😃
Ford 7710
Good video,nice camera work with commentary !
Did that Maxxum say Hopf Equipment? That's local yocal for me! It's always red in the shed, put it to bed. I'd be in on the 460 for the right price, but really wish it had a fast hitch. I grew up on a 706, I love those 60's 6 cylinder gassers, even if they are thirsty.
Yeah it definitely did say that
@@FarmallFanatic nice, 20 minutes from the house.
@Farmall Fanatic :
@15:35 :
MF 1155 = 140 PTO Hp.
Cat II or Cat III was available for the 3pt hitch. Looks to me like that one is a Cat II. (My "smaller" MF 1105 actually had the larger / stronger Cat III hitch with a factory quick-hitch.)
And yes, that IS the factory MF top link on there.
I always get a kick outta how you underestimate the rear tire tread depths on almost every tractor you look at.
Those Goodyear rear tires on that 1155 have plenty of life left in them, and most likely the RH (furrow) tire was replaced more recently than the LH tire.
Only wealthy people or the much larger operations will typically replace costly rear Ag R-1 tires in pairs.
The rest of us only replace them when they're damaged beyond sensible repair, or totally bald.
Those beasts don't command big money, because they fall into the "gap" of being too much tractor for smaller farms, and not enough or simply "too old" for today's large corporate farms. Thus, they sell on the cheaper end of the spectrum, commonly known as "cheap horsepower", in the used Ag sales world.
Btw, this "big hoss" of a tractor will also drink nearly double the fuel of say, that JD 2840 or the Ford 7710, which average around 5.5 GPH, vs the MF 1155's 9.5 GPH of fuel consumption. So, it really all depends if you really need those extra 55 horses or not.
Bigger is no longer desirable for today's small farmer, due to $5.00/gallon diesel fuel & generally much higher equipment maintenance & repair costs.
Underestimation or overestimation is in the brain of the beholder. I'm entitled to my opinion and you're entitled to yours
@@FarmallFanatic Fair enough, but I can tell you that brand new tractor tire lug depths can vary A LOT.
For example, a Firestone "All Traction Field & Road" model R-1 Ag tire does not have really deep lugs, from day one. They also wear fairly quickly.
As a side note: Another thing to note regarding Ag tractor rears is recognizing the deep-lug Rice & Cane versions of tires, vs the more common standard lower height 23° and alternating long bar/short bar V-bar Ag lug.
Many people simply don't know or understand the differences these days, which is kind of understandable, given the overall decrease in farming in our country.
Point is, really deep traction lugs don't necessarily equate to better tires. Sounds strange, I know, but hear me out...
Unless you operate on regular wet/soft ground, a deep lug Rice & Cane tire will actually sustain damage to the tire from excessive lug flex, if regularly operated on harder soils. It's true.
As far as physical dry rot appearance is concerned, that can also vary pretty widely. Some cracks in the tread here & there really don't mean much, and are mostly just cosmetic blemishes in nature, which don't affect their use.
When the tires become heavily cracked throughout the tread depth as well as the sidewalls, & the black of the tire literally "rubs off" onto you when you touch it, then, they're on their way to being toast.
What many people often misconstrue regarding Ag tires is that a low-speed bias tractor tire is NOT like their high-speed radial car tires.
I've successfully run Ag tires that large operators considered "no good" for 20+ years or longer, with no issues.
The most evil thing to happen is rogue tire punctures, which leak the damned CaCl ballast into the rims, prematurely accelerating the rim's demise from corrosion/rot.
Rim condition is also something to ALWAYS pay attention to when buying ANY tractor.
Those PAVT (Power Adjustable Variable Tread) power adjustable rims with the angled rails are really costly to replace VS the hoop-style bolt-on rims or clamp-on hump style rims.
😂 I hope the rock puller goes cheap 🙏 😬 Would be a cool video. 🚨👍🍻💥
Yeah I'd be driving around for about an hour just looking for 1 rock lol
@@FarmallFanatic surely you could find a field with rocks.
@Grant McIntosh : Rock pickers never go cheap, unless they're all busted up & worn out junk.
I have an older ford. Would mind a newer case ih and John Deere
Thanks again
If your looking for a BN. We saw a nice one at Mt. Hope, Ohio. Machinery Auction is this Saturday.
Was it a double seater? I'd like one for parades
@Farmall Fanatic one seater
Just sent Bn pics
@@dianajones1068 That is very nice
I'd buy the Ford tractor 7710
That sells in my latest video
The FORD!!!
"Douchebag at 6 o clock "😂😂😂😂😂😂 that had me rolling
They try to blow your ear drums out
4050 jd
Out of curiosity guys....looking at a yellow and blue matchbox tractor...a Ford.....any idea what model it is supposed to replicate?? (From the early 70s matchbox)
Yellow were generally the industrial models or intended for municipalities.
There were many
That was the Ford 4400. It had a yellow hood and fenders with a blue chassis. Ertl also made a toy version of it.
Gotta be the other Red 🤔👍
@Farmall Fanatic :
@14:50 : That's the engine serial number, NOT the tractor's serial number. The JD 2840's tractor serial number is located on the tag on the right front bolster, just above the front axle area. Very common tag location on all of the utility series Deeres from the xx30, xx40, xx50, & xx55 series UTILITY tractors.
You actually looked right past it when you were making the video, just after reading the engine's serial number tag aloud.
Farmall guys always look passed it 😆
@@FarmallFanatic LOL yeah... Don't misinterpret my brand loyalty tho. I'm just a hardcore tractor fan, loyal to none.
I love them all & own far, far too many different brands of them.
Deere, MF, Farmall, Ford, A/C, Case...
Then again, you can never have too many tractors... 🚜❤
I enjoy them all but Deere... Especially the newer stuff along with the way people are treated at the dealerships
@@FarmallFanatic : Yeah, I can't understand the modern-day thinking with how John Deere is running things. They've pretty much taken majority ownership control over all of their franchise dealerships and have forced them all to grow into mini-conglomerates.
What's worst of all, is that they DON'T pay their help reasonable wages, they regularly hire people with no actual agricultural or farm experience, and they have morphed the sales of tractors to mimic that of modern-day junk disposable automobiles.
Then, there's the whole "right to repair" issue with all the modern proprietary electronic crap that they sell. So yeah, I understand people's frustrations with them.
That said, the best tractors they ever built existed from 1962 - around 1992ish. Basically the xx10, xx20, xx30, xx40, xx50, xx55, xx60 series through the early 1990's.
Then, the turn of the century 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 series were still decent, yet radically different from their predecessors. In some ways better, but in many ways, worse.
Plowing with 1155 in fall no need for heater that hog of a motor kept cab warm.!
What did you pull
DMI 7 16INCH had adjustable width by hydraulics

allis 175 or ford 7710
That's one thing I will give to ford and AC, you could land a helicopter on the operator platform lol.
We had a 2950 it had transmission problems it went out twice
That's pretty much the consensus
@15:18 : There's plenty of undesirable info out there on the MF 1155 tractors. Apparently just haven't been talking to the right people (owners or mechanics), nor have you done your homework on them ahead of time. LOL
That said, they're not a terrible tractor, but they can have some potentially fatal flaws that are very expensive to repair.
Like most all old used equipment, you need to know what you're looking at, and you need to find out as much history as possible, on the specific machine that you are going to be bidding on.
Dude, you could find anybody to say any bad thing or good thing about a tractor. I'm telling you thats what IVE experienced. If it bothers you that much as to what i'm saying start your own channel see how it works out for you.
@@FarmallFanatic : Sorry, didn't mean to upset you. Just pointing out that they aren't as desirable as you might think. Those particular model 1155 tractors could ne bought so cheap years ago at auction, it wasn't even funny.
Btw, before my Ford 8000, I had a MF 1105, and never had a lick of trouble with it.
424 has minneapolis moline 3pt arms on it,
@Farmall Fanatic :
@11:05 Why? Because someone most likely stole the "mushroom style" air cleaner cap, that's why. They're surprisingly expensive to replace! (I recently bought a used one for one of my Farmall M's that was missing when I bought the tractor.)
I really hate some people at auctions. They steal fuel caps, radiator caps, dipsticks, oil fill caps, ignition keys, deliberately sabotage engines so they won't start (to drive the auction sale price down), and much more.
Just really, really watch people sometime. Sooner or later, I guarantee that you'll see undesirable things happen.
The thing is it's 2023 everything is on camera.
@@FarmallFanatic : Yeah, pluses & minuses to that, my friend. Sadly, the thieves still don't care.
