Great Video Richard - I must go one day. I had a page in Tractor & Machinery showing my Wheelhorse 780 (Garden Tractor) towing the "Poo Picker" in August 2011 edition. Took the photos on my mobile when the cameras were not great. Still came out really well in the magazine. I have a copy on my Office wall - 6 MFs 135 on the cover. The tractor with the curved shield is indeed a David Brown Cropmaster.
The first Fordson you saw and thought was a Dexter, was a Fordson Major orchard tractor. Harry is like me, a classic Ford fan. Well done Haza,good choice
I grew up on a farm and I asked my late father who was born in 1923 had he enjoyed his farming life and he replied yes because when he was born they used horses and milked cows by hand which he had to do before he went to school. The hay was cut by hand by a scythe and stacked into stoops, sheep were sheered by hand, there was so much manual work to do. But at his years went on agriculture was advancing and they bought there first tractor then a cutter bar. He said it broke his heart when the horses were sold as they had been a huge part of his life but times were moving on as was new ways to farm he had a milking machine installed and retailed milk which was sold throughout the dale, proper milk as he’d say raw unpasteurised straight from the cow. He said towards the end of his life that he doubts that farming will ever advance today as it had during his life and I suppose he was right. But one thing that will always be the same which he had all through his farming life were the sheep dogs they’ve been used and will probably always be used and nothing really can replace them. He died 23 years ago and was a dales hill farmer and is still missed by me today, RIP Dad.
So......the little industrial fergie at 31 minutes when I first saw it I remembered fond memories of what I thought was a similar machine driving around the lanes . What I didn't know till yesterday is that this is that exact machine. Purchased by my uncle Philip Badger, agricultural engineer over at Bockleton. He sold it to Bill Grovsner who farmed at Pudleston and by all accounts this was entered into the auction by his grandson. My uncle was shocked at the price it eventually went for as he said he didn't sell it for to Bill! @funkyfarmer
For that to Bill. Bill passed away a few years ago but was often seen around the lanes on this with a transport box on behind. I myself have rode in it with my grandfather collecting wood many many years ago! Still can't believe this is the actual tractor
Used to drive a Muir Hill when silaging in the early 80s, it was used to compress the grass in the clamp, was a bit of beast. I am glad i was not driving it when it fell over the side wall and landed on its cab, luckily the driver walked away.
We used to have a Ford 5000. It was our loader tractor for awhile. Pretty good old tractor, little hard to start when it was cold but still a good old tractor.
Go for the 35x, it had the double clutch to engage the PTO... great job, we had one for years for the link box, yard scraper, finger bar mower and PZ hay bob (she'd wheelie easy with that on😂) and trailer work for bales and turf from the bog.. hours of work and fond memories (even the cold wet days😳🤧🙄) i'd do it all again, it was a gentler pace of life...❤ Ooo, the mad Frankenstien 20... springs on the bumper 😅😂😂 that would save ya...❤😂😂
The major that you thought looked a bit different is a kfd orchard conversion i think, dropped the height and narrowed them up i believe, im more of a massey man but i think thats right 😅
It is a David crop master Richard great video well done
Your son really enjoys his tractors. It's really nice to see a kid with passion for something. You guys have a good one.
The red tractor you’re interested In Richard is a David Brown cropmaster, great videos as always!
Thanks for the info, i think that might have been the tractor my grandfather (on my mothers side) had. Nice looking tractor
Pleasure to help. They don’t make em like they used to, that’s for sure! Cheers
The little red tractor is a David Brown brilliant little tractor in their day

Getting to see the tractor auction is special.
Harry is going to be a great farmer!!! He'll be fixing all of your stuff soon!
Great video Richard, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next part.
Love the old tractors. Harry's got quite the eye.
Stationary engines are great for taking to steam rallies set it up Friday evening retire to the beer tent Sunday dry out so you drive home in evening.

Hello Richard and Farmer Harry, very nice Video!!!!! M.v.g.Simon Lich Oostwold Oldambt Netherlands
Wonderful, xx
Interesting vblog. Remember to keep your model boxes, Harry, then can put the models in the boxes, and they will be worth a fortune in the future
That's a factory made industrial grey fergie, with I think a sta-dry cab
marshall tractors took over from the old Leyland which were blue
An old winsome cab on the little fergie
Richard, have you ever thought about getting a tractor to rebuild with Harry? No doubt a Ford.
Harry turn your fork around. You won't have so much trouble cutting your poached egg. 😂 you'd put your shoulder into that
Leyland número uno
The tractor with the winch on the rear TUY 587 most likely used on overhead power lines Pylons
The major that you thought looked a bit different is a kfd orchard conversion i think, dropped the height and narrowed them up i believe, im more of a massey man but i think thats right 😅
Cropmaster the tractor you liked was
A brilliant video really enjoyable well done. Massey Ferguson all the way 🟥🟥🟥
Richard I think instead of massy buy an old Ford for Haza😊
Nice
Hello
The Funky Farmer
harry is correct it a david brown cropmaster
i think the red tractor was for vineyards
Are there any events like this up north ? I’m in Lancashire and I’ve not seen anything like this - looks a great day out!
A real heinz 57 of tractors the one with a ram on the front would be nice to know what it was built or adapted for.🧐
Did Harry get u to take the checkbook
👍
👍👍🧐
Some old tractors 🚜 Some need a bit TLC😢
Ford 600/960. ????
🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏🙏👍👍
Well done Richard I love to see good British content and not 🇺🇸trash

David brown vak1
