i absolutely love that Ford blue paint…even more so at around twenty years old when it starts to fade and take on that ‘patina’ the weathered look…it takes years to get that and you can’t get it from out of a tin …but everything still running strong…and that idle…with that diesel smell…. beautiful

Nice one. Was good to catch up. Good old Turnip!

Nicely done that, got a tear in my eye when I saw the 7810. Some lovely machinery there.

FORD IS GOLD 💪👌👍 SIMPLY THE BEST 💪👌❤️

That Canadian built 946 is a real machine

she sounds lovley pullin that plough

Thanks for sharing. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

7610&7810 just love them and 7840 all class love old school ford blue power all the way 👌👌👌👌

Brilliant to see them working wish l had of gone. Thanks for showing this vid 👍

Some cracking examples of blue power there Kurt.. Thanks for sharing...

Nice to see the county’s ploughing awesome tractors in there day

That 7810 brought back some memories, this is the tractor generation i did time on albeit i was using a 7610.

Cracking video - love the interaction with the owners and farmers there! I’ve got to say there’s just something about those 7810s which makes them such an appealing tractor. I do prefer the other 7810s to the blue ones mind!

Fantastic video lads. Takes me back to 1993 when I started contracting when I had the pleasure of driving a 7610 2wd many happy hours

Some nice looking gear there👍. Funny when you were talking about originality, I've still the original tape deck in my girl and yes i still end up with a pencil/pen in the cab to wind the tape back on! 😩😂

Great video 👍 The Super Q cab still looks great today like it did all those years ago. Grew up driving Ford's and luckily we have 3 at home. Great memories.

Great questions on turbocharged 4 vs 6 cylinder, great stories👍maybe show how operate Ford gearboxes like Rubik cube👍

Great video Kurt, still good to see the Fords!!

Hello guys. Love to hear ya lads, ya know ya stuff. Looked a cracking day. Love the banter. Thanks for showing.

Fun day, thank you for sharing it with us. I'm a Ford guy in the US.

Sorry I got to say I like the big 946 it pressed all the right buttons for me ☺️

Good job thanks for the video enjoyed it as always

again a great film 👍

Tidy tidy tidy love the blue

I wish that they would do things like that over here. Love the FORDS . Long time no see Kurt

Excellent video well done top job 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

We had a 5610 MK2 from 87 on the farm. Did a great job🚜🚜

Great video Kurt, keep up the good work.

Great video, lots of nice tractors!

Great video, love the Fords,

Top vid mr muck big thumbs up can’t beat an old ford got the best sound shame they dnt sound like that any more 👍👍👍🚜

Was just up the road in Mickfield the other week, nice part of the country 👍🏻

Great video, great tractors☺

Very awsome vid my friend and to see George is quite nice!! They need more Red tho! ;-)

Enjoyed the video!

Muck you and Ol George are looking good!! I would love to take a trip across the pond and shoot the hay with yall!! Lots of love big dog!!

Good video & good tractors

Another tractor I had a lot to do with was a 1973 ford 7000 it was sold to the main farm on the estate where my parents had a small holding in 1982 the farmers son my friend turned it over it was classed has not worth repairing because the cab was bent so he purchased it back and we fitted a Duncan q cab and because it had done over 10000 hours fitted a new early 7610 complete early engine which where available at very competitive prices being a non dual power it was lovely to drive you could go up and down the box like a car we once dynoed the tractor and it had 108 hip on the dyno the only trouble we had with it was pto clutch has it had 6 plate pto hub but once we fitted 7610 pto 8 plate hub with stronger piston it was ok I have never driven such a powerful tractor for its size and weight and when he changed it for 8210 4wd later he allways regretted it I think it was exported to Ireland I often wonder does it still exist tragically my friend was killed in 1990 hence my tractor career coming to a end but watching your videos has really sparked and interest in me again

Thank you David, that’s very kind but I’m not one for big Sub numbers and wanting to be adored. I say it as I see it and my followers and viewers seem to be of the ‘higher’ end of the spectrum, those who understand all kinds of engineering and mechanical systems and I’m very proud of that. I’m not one to try and pander to the seat warmers and knob jockeys. If you like it, great. If you don’t, F*ck Off. Thanks again and glad you’re here.

I really love my little series 1 7610 just a shame its not as fast or comfortable as my fastrac

Very very nice

Ford the tractors legend very very good Ford

Need a 8830 Powershift!!

How long have you had this.? Make something up.! About the tw25

Love the vids was watching your tyre video and they are really interesting. I was wondering if you could do a video with one of the tyre companies on how to work out what pressures to put into your tyres cause it’s all very well saying put 8psi in the front if there a load of two tonnes on each tyre but I don’t have any large weighing scales to work out how much weight is on the tyre. I have tried to use the mitchlin tyre pressure Calculator but it so complex trying to get the weight of each axle what machine length of machine balance weight on front how far the weight is forward it just does not work. Thanks

Hi Kurt sound video, people seem to rave on about 7810 as you mentioned I would prefer 7910 series 11 any day

I'm incredibly envious of you 😀

My father had a contracting business here in TASMANIA (AUS). with a Ford 8401 which was a 2wd dual range 109hp tractor. That managed to get to 26000 hrs before it got a pin hole in no 5 cly wall.(when the dealer mechanic seen the bores he couldn't believe the hrs it had done😂 . Then the dealer contacted Ford & they wanted to purchase the motor & put it on display)I think what helped, is it was like a taxi! the motor rarely had a chance to stay cold, it was used all year round doing ground prep,sowing,mow,rake & bale! We would sit the motor at 1800 revs. We also had MF 4840 903 265hp with 17000 hrs last I new.

Coolant mix also made a big difference. A stronger mix helped prevent cavitation and corrosion.

So real work horses Kurt, I'm referring to the tractors of course. 🤣

Different ploughs and different mouldboards so will look different.

I just had to Google the Ford tractor plant in basildon. For some reason I thought it closed down and was long gone moving production to some Foriegn land, but according to the info I found it was bought by Fiat. I also didn't know that it is the only tractor plant in the UK. They made some fine handsome beasts Ford did. Saw a lot of them as a kid in the 70s.

Run the engine on pure coolant it never goes pourous and change piston heads for 7610 piston heads with bevel head then bolt on turbo

@LordMuck

Which engine are you referring to ? Pure 'coolant' such as JD Coolgard are just premixed but at a higher strength but not 'pure'. Pure unmixed antifreeze actually loses some of its anti-cavitation, cooling and coolant lubrication/flow properties. I do however use a de-ionised >50% mix 👍

Always mixed with some corrosion protection i suppose alot must have ran them on water way back didnt help stop them going pourous, engines i am talking about would be teh one in 7810- and the first of the TW 15's and an old 7700, bullet proof if looked after
