- hauling logs up some big hills with VERY loud 300HP ford new Holland 8970 and splitting logs with my home made log splitter!
lots of other videos to come , lots of variety, tractors and engineering, offroading and and welding!
something for everyone of mechanical and outdoor persuits!
Some snort out of big blue, none of the modern stuff sounds like her. Nice and smooth on the road.
Big blue sounds like a locomotive. That log splitter is a beast, well done, functionality before looks. Cracking collection of old machinery. Keep the videos coming. Greetings from Scotland.
Great video again. The big Ford is animal, I all liked how the front weights move with the steering.
Those final seconds of footage. Those are real memories you made there. Some of my own fondest memories are of sitting atop a stack of freshly piled bales of hay we'd built, drinking Carling Black Label from glass bottles and watching the sun set low in the sky.
Great content there. Keep it coming :)
Great Video, as a ford tractor driver from way back I loved this, thanks a lot
That is one of the best tractors Ford ever made they are a work horse !! And a nice splitter and big load of wood for this winter !! Making firewood is a side job of mine as I burn wood as well !! That old Army loader is very handy looking machine . The that splitter moves quickly I love videos like this BIG thumbs up !! Very pretty country there and a wonderful view !!
Love those old tractors,and that fire at the end was a lovely scene
Very enjoyable video! Thanks for sharing!!
Decent setup, thanks for sharing, from across the border
Loved it, thanks for the video! Cheers from America
Damn shes a beast..she sounds like a damn kenworth!!!!
Really enjoy your videos. Love the old iron and that little Kubota R310. Thats the kind of thing I'd like to own even though I live live in a block of flats. Please keep all the different types of videos coming.
Nice rig there!! Road video brought back fond memories of traveling from Shannon to Galway
actually worked on one of these engines back in diesel school, they sound mean, and rightfully so. love these old ford new hoallands
Go big blue ford.. fix or repair daily. I can live with that.
tractor sounds great
Absolutely wonderful buddy, nothing here thats not spot on
Wouldn't like to be buying the fuel mind you
Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing 👍
I like the way the subtitles say that the roar of big blue is music & as she pulls off into the distance it’s an applause! 🤣
Great Job!
Great Equipment!
You would fit rite in around here :)
Pro tip: ....If you hold your phone sideways when recording, it will fill the screen normally.
Awesome splitter, built to last forever. Well done.
Keep the videos coming :)
Vertical shots were from friends
Awesome
Been forwarding that thermal lance like mad to boys in Australia that was alot of skill
Thanks bud, aprecieate ir
Great. Thanks for sharing.
Blue Power all the way 💪💯
She's a beauty love the sound of her 😍
proper tractor
I had built the splitter other way round. Cylinder pushing the pressplate and have the vedge at end. Easier handling of splitted wood and unloading into bag or conveyor. Even to have a bigger table with sides beside and after knife. Also doing a lot of firewood here in Sweden with an "improved and tuned big electric hydraulic splitter. Have a nice weekend y'all!
Edit: Very nice loader of a type with also backhoe. Almost as an nowadays Huddig or Lännen! (But a lot cheaper!!!) I have an old Huddig 760 with 9000 h and it's still a Swedish Army Knife!
@allistairc124 another cracking video buddy. Great to see big blue doing what she's made for and she sure does love a good workout. The sound of pure power and torque must resonate through the valleys when she's working 😁 you've built yourself a good log splitting setup to and nice to see some of your other toys. Those kubota's are brilliant bits of kit too. I must say its a beautiful part of the country you're in, the only thing you was missing was a BBQ with a couple of nice steaks on it 😊😊 great work as usual mate and love seeing all the toys you have and get to play with. Until next time, over and out 😎👍
Thanks jason appreciate it bud
Considering how much performance that loader has, you could probably install one of the splitter heads that has like six blades on it and split the whole log in one stroke.
Or possibly even more parts?!
great job
You got a awesome taste in iron mate👌👍👍 from G7 gridlock’d Cornwall, keep the coal rollin!!
Tidy looking piece of kit that log splitter.
Some setup it surprising what you can make from scrap 🇮🇲👍
Cookie Monster, nice.
She is big blue and beutifull and her trailor is awsome.wish we could use are tractors in usa like they do over sees I could find build dump for mine but we can't drive the roads
The G/70 series are some cracking tractors :) Looking for a Fiat G-series but not that many of them around :)
Was that at on the pull?
By Christ she was an animal to go and sounded absolutely unreal in person
Yes sir that was her! Yeah she whipped that t7-270 good!
That’s the truth I was sat at the top of the hill with a big childish grin 🤣 Have a genesis pencilled into the wish list ever since
She sings baryton beautiful with her long-stroke straight 6! Almost as good as a Scania \8/ but they don't compete in the same class! (Scanias have their own competing class!) ;D
It was a lot of "sap" running out of rock bed when tipping the rounds, Allistair! Haha!
That Ford is amazing I’d hall all the sail boat fuel In the world just to hear it roar
You must have a lot of trouble finding the time for your day job with all those lovely toys you have to look after
That's for sure lol
Not jealous in the slightest keep up the good work
The super steer bush on the front will collapse fast without front weights on. We used to own one and that happened.
To me it sounds like an helicopter or an airplane. ^^
The big blue machine sounds awesome.... Sukkin diesel
I used to love the noise of the genesis still a great engine but the 7000's 6.7 fpt with straight pipe have it beat for note lol
Looked round that for about an hour about 6months ago does the hymac crane run I learnt to drive a digger after school in a hymac
She's on the key! Starts like a dream!
what window tint is that you have on big blue
I wish my tractor made those sounds
Great video is that a MUIR HILL dump trailer.
Sure is! Very rare!
A quality tractor blue power all the way it would run rings round a JD
All you need now is an appropriate vintage chainsaw to match the splitting setup
👍
Im sending this video to Greta Tunberg
Serious machine. Ever dealt with Renault’s?
I hear they are a great tractor, not many about , I've no experience , friend has a vintage one just!
allistairc123 not Many around alright. Local quarry had a fleet of them. I used to have a 175-74 TZ with only 3300 hrs for a while. Rare machine. Only 169 ever made.
💯💯💯💯💯
Will u ever put tyres on big blue
No. Never.
@@allistairc123 Lots of life left in those, I plow snow with a 1990 JCB Sitemaster 1400B in Ontario, Canada and yours make mine look new.
Feel free to bore me with more details.
Shes a tidy yoke alistair . Sounds great . Is that the same style of gearbox found in the older 30series tw replacement . With the cummins engine 7.5 powerstar engine . Ive no had much to do with these types its mainly older fords ive driven tws 9700 77109710 6610 7610 etc etc plus older 6600 7600 5000 4000 3000 majors dextas ive driven a couple of 40 series but didnt care much for them . Prefering the old ford built tractors . Big blue is a true classic . Plus im lovin ur muir hill trailee thats some dump cairt as we say in aberdeenshire . Once upon a time it was nearly all ford tractors up here aberdeen tractors sold thousands of fords over the years . Then u had elbar in turriff and elgin it was big ford tractor country but over the years and probbs with fords other brands took off . Lovin ur 5000 muirhill loader a farm i worked on casually had a couple for the silage pits . Mucking out shed etc . Afore being replaced with jcb loadalls . And a matbro but it burned out one harvest with straw chaff etc the a5000s that the farm had the back actors were removed but were round the back of the tractorshed the mounting slide was still on them they had extra weights on then . They were very capable machines love the wee kubota . They strong wee handy tools . Ir splitter is brilliant very handy tools indeed . Its all interesting stuff . Ud no put ur hand in the wrong place twice we ur splitter anyway lol haha .
dos the Ford 8970 it do 40k
Yes sir!
Thanks for let me now I have a model of one in 1/32 scale
That 8970 sounds very health, somebody tickled her a little bit .
