+Dallas Alberta The orange came about in the final years of Marshall production, along with chrome plating on a lot of detail parts. Sort of a way to refresh and breathe new life into an aging design. I believe this was only applied to the series 3 tractors.
Dallas Alberta By way of interest Orange was used on ford tractors pre Ww2 in Britain but changed to green to make them a less visible target! to aircraft!
You certainly can use a cartridge, but it is not good practice to do so all the time. Doing so leads to excessive carbon deposits, can jam the decompressor and imparts a nasty shock to the engine. Given the choice, most people will hand crank it.
Yes, it was a in-house development of the system set forward by Heinrich Lanz, but with more modern components and a higher compression ratio. Marshall & Sons engineered and built it at their plant in Gainsborough. Some consider it a stopgap between the hotbulb and the full diesel.
Thanks for the video. It's awesome to see restored tractors working, not just parked on the grass at a show!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Sounds good. I like to hear them idle and watch the front of the tractor jump, with each power stroke.
It's a joy to watch. brings back memories of my childhood
I had never heard of these before now, but am so glad I got to see them. Truly a beast of tractor for sure. Thanks for sharing.
glad you liked them, thanks.
I remember so well this sound and the screaming of the clutch. Just great for thrashing.
love that unique 2 stroke sound of a field marshall tractor
+Charles Crisp Thanks, you don't hear it anywhere else.
Sounds better under full load than when it's idling!
They sound great fully loaded, that is what they where built to do.
An impressive show, but it sure is hard packing that usable topsoil.
Oddly enough he had superb strawberry’s popping out there the next year, good cultivator i suppose.
That orange Field Marshall wasn't even breathing hard!
some ones a fire fly fan, i recognize the music! great vid!!!
Ahhh, you got me, thanks for watching.
I like the sound of that motor, but I think i would wear ear plus while rolling it.
Yes, they are normally quite mellow, but when they run at full power they can be quite loud.
the engine is a 2 cycle engine
Thank you, love this.
Glad you enjoyed.
5l 2t diesel mono cylindre
Love the orange paint! Did they do different colours for different years or were the Field Marshalls always offered in different colours?

4:33 How slow can it go.
Yeah, you can really pull 'em down low.
Isn't this a cartridge start engine? Or is that only when it is cold?
Yes, indeed, the cartridge can be used anytime, but it also has a conventional crank start feature. This was the most common starting method.

Is this Field Marshall's own make of engine?
Yes, it was a in-house development of the system set forward by Heinrich Lanz, but with more modern components and a higher compression ratio. Marshall & Sons engineered and built it at their plant in Gainsborough. Some consider it a stopgap between the hotbulb and the full diesel.
Thanks for the information. It's a very interesting tractor.
they will blow smoke rings we called them popeyes
