@@tonymckeage1028 thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed - it definitely seemed well setup, was going really well.

Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching. Plenty more old school fleets coming soon.

Danke fürs zuschauen!

Thanks for watching! What was the 7610 - 2WD or 4? They are worth some ££ these days.

Lovely, they are a great wee tractor. Thanks for watching!

Yes totally loved seeing this one. Just seeing the old stuff still doing proper work is brilliant.

Sure does! Seems to be fit for it alright.

It sure is! Love a good Fraser. The green with blue always a good looking combination

Thanks for watching. Please subscribe for more content coming soon!

@@OldSchoolNI Ok thank you I subscribed kisses nice

Thanks for watching! We love seeing this sort of fleet too. Not sure on the hours but very well looked after. A real highlight of the year for us.

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it, there's plenty of the big stuff around these parts but have no interest filming it. Blink and you miss it anyway and everything's done in a few hours

Thanks a lot! Loved the 4610 too, the real highlight.

I'm sure that could be arranged for next cut! :)

Well I don't know how I could go about payment, depending on how close you are maybe go for a drink and cash in pocket 🤣,,,, was the hill behind in the distance the black mountains by any chance

Very true sir, wild money involved and there's much less appeal to video that stuff. I'd take this fleet any day of the week. This was proper old school where neighbours help each other. The best.

Brings me back forty years when we spent all summer cutting silage, then things just kept getting bigger, we picked up 500 acres in two and a half days this may and gave the contractor enough money to buy a whole set up like this and will have to give him the same again before the year is out. I would love to be back at it again but it’s all about time and we haven’t got enough as it is, back then we would give this lad and that lad a dig out when something broke and they would come to our rescue when we were in bother, now the contractor arrives with a couple of million quids worth of gear and his own diesel lorry and does in an hour what we might have done in a very long,very good day. Maybe we have all gone too big, too much stock, too big of machines and far to much debt, back in the day if you wanted a new tractor you bought it and payed for it now they want us to buy everything on the never never( more tax efficient they say) but it means you can buy stuff that you may not really need just because you can. Back in the day you only bought a 4wd if you were going to plough the side of a mountain or a bottomless bog , 2wd would do the job 99% of the time and did. For Pete’s sake our scraper tractor is 4wd , total over kill but it’s old and worth very little and it does the job and it is not really worth replacing it with a 2wd more sensible one because that’s going to be an expensive replacement, so it can work away until it dies! Thinking about it, it might not be to long until it has to be replaced she clocked up 25000 hours over the weekend !

@@Andy-ix2ox yea I understand, the chap I work for has some nice kit, but even now with tractors that would boss a week of lifting grass he still gets the self propelled contractor in 🤣,, he has a 4x4 on a scraper also 😜,,, and X2 jd 6215R's, it's like driving a big ride on lawn mower I tell him... Nothing like the old days of a nice tw15 or a Renault 145-14 etc etc,, god I miss it so badly,, but yea time is money and if you really want to get on then sadly the bigger newer kit is a must,, back in the day accros 1000 acres you would have had 7 farms, now it's about 1 to 2,,, and even then it's not easy to make it work,, it's gone mad

Thanks very much - triggering memories of the good old days is why we do this! Feel free to share with others who would enjoy our channel. Did you drive 2wd or 4wd?

It was a 4wd, a replacement for a Leyland 802

Nice, I've footage coming soon of a Marshall 802 at silage last year

Looking forward to seeing it

Glad you enjoyed it! It's one of the best setups we've seen in a while too. A lot of narrow roads and gates around here means there's always a place for the old trailed harvesters.

Thanks as always Paul - 4610 was definitely unexpected! Seeing the 2 x 40 series together was like something off a promotional leaflet from the 90s.

Your right, a beauty! Really nice to see something like that still doing a job

@@OldSchoolNI Had a 4600 Fritzmeier cab and 4000 Fieco cab years ago. They were powerful performers for their size back in the day.. 4610 here is alittle Gem..

Glad you enjoyed it! This was one of the highlights of our collection so far. Seeing anything 2WD is unusual these days on a harvester. The wee 4610 tops it for me, just something so different.

2wd foraging reminds me of that Fiat nr you David 👍

@@crimsonsunshine264 Ah yes, remember it well. The 2wd 100-90 is still on the farm but since they got a bigger forager it’s now been demoted to rowing up. Pity because it was a great chopping tractor. Cheers, David.

Wow wow that’s amazing video no massive payments there

Aye TT was class this year for MD. No doubt Joey and Robert would be pleased.

True that!

Thanks FF! You'll know yourselves that YT really butchers the quality compared to original - seems to have got worse recently but as long as not watching on bigger screens then it's dead on. We rarely get to any events these days but love working through the old tapes.

Hi David, yep nice setup. FX58 works locally which I'm hoping to get some footage of this summer all being well. Older gear still earning their keep for sure.

Not sure to be honest - not a bike expert at all

Thanks David, Schindler axle is unusual. Do you know any of the detail on it, was it only 7700s and in certain regions?

@@OldSchoolNI I don’t know the exact details but I remember in about 1980/81 that a local farm here near Carlisle bought a new Ford 7600 fwd with a Schindler axle which was a big tractor round here. Sadly it’s long gone but I can still remember it clearly. They also had a W-reg Ford 6600 2wd with a Duncan Supercab which I think is still around!

I don't think they share any of their archives which is a real shame. I've some more from this event which will get uploaded soon.

Yep not like some of the big egos today

Thanks for watching Jim! @shaunmagill197 do you know anything about how the binder is locked in position when not in use?

Nice! We got a run up too. Always good to see them.

Is it that bad?!

Thanks! If you are on Facebook or X, look out for the RAF Northern Ireland page. They often give a heads up on these things.

Thanks for watching, more of the same to come. I have it on good authority that this was a 7700, but for some reason had 7710 decals on it. I think these axles were on the go for the 66/76/77 models before 10 series.

Thanks for watching - the old blue stuff is hard to beat!

Glad you enjoyed it Paul, I reckon this was probably late 90s but not sure. Quality isn't too bad but UA-cam does really compress it. We do a bit of tweaking to try to improve things but all very time consuming.

Thanks for watching, what you drive over there?

He sure did. Legend

So very true, thanks for watching

She was going well!

A year has disappeared fast. Still doesn't seem real sometimes.

Badly missed, thanks for watching

Indeed, such a talent, and will never know where he could have gone

Thanks for watching!

Aye that's a good point and I think some of the newer models were built that way. Definitely hard on the neck otherwise!

Thanks! Was a good day out.

Aye your probably right! Hard to beat the old Frasers.

Thanks John, yes there was a 7840 with a New Holland 341 double chop. Keep an eye out for that video coming soon.
