The Modern stuff is nice but you definitely have a bigger smile with the old TW 💪👍

I worked as a pump man in an opencast coal mine around 30 years ago and had a TW for pulling pumps and bagging around. What a beast she was, loved the floor splitter peddle when it got too much for her on a hard pull.

If it was “smiles per hour” George, the old TW would win hands down. Another thing to take into account is what will the T5 or S5 be like after 40 years of hard work? If in fact they would even last that long? Love the old TW. 🚜👍

We got a tw30 over here in America, she’s got 7,000 on her second motor, still going, and probably punching above her weight class. She’s kinda the oddball on our farm of red machines.

140 - 150 HP being considered a smaller Tractor just goes to show you how things have moved on, their capability though also shows that you don't always need 200 - 300+ HP to get the job done. Obivously letting the old girl stretch her legs and enjoying the music once in a while is fantastic, probably makes you enjoy the modern creature comforts of the new iron all the more at the end of the day.

I used to drive a TW15 back in the day. What a beast and a lovely machine to drive. At the time it was cutting edge! Happy days.

That's been a great little series of reviews, I hope the Funky Farmer has been taking notes for comparison! Well put together and you gave them a good workout while you had them. But you can't beat some old school grunt! Can't beat that sound.

It's great to see the old tw back out again and it sounds great as well

Those modern tractors are definitely technical marvels with their slick gearboxes and sexy controls, but give me that filthy lusty turbo six any day. A big ole six is such a soulful beast, I could listen to it all day! Congratulations a great, no BS channel.

I've been a bit ill lately but that t dub has cheered my up can't wait to drive my super major

Love that tw25, i wonder how many ponies shes lost over the 40 years, she still seems to pull really well

Awesome video George always love to see you out in the Tw and shes sounding Awesome!

Hey George, it shows that we had some good rain here at long last Because the grass is growing again so much so, That at my school the Big New Holland Tractor has come again to cut the football field after a long time not doing so! It looked like a T7 Tractor the back wheels were about 6.5 feet tall. It was a lovely sight to see it cutting using a bi-folding back cutter. We don't see tractors much here being a Town with no farming around us. Nice to see a New Holland my favorite farming brand even on the Farming Sim game I play. 🚜 😉

George get the old gal, on the dyno to see what she's really punching. It will be interesting to actually see the figures!

There is one thing new tractors beat the old stuff. The sound level. Newer tractors are a lot quieter.

Hi George , when they made the new tractor’s they forgot to put the sound back in once you get going in the ford she start barking love it, you take it easy and look after yourself and stay safe.🚜🚜👍⭐️⭐️

My old boss man had a tw-25 he pulled a 22 ft Taylor way disc with it he bought it brand new we’re he used it all those years you could put the rpm wide open it would smoke like crazy and go dead but pull the rpm’s back to where it stopped smoking and it would run like a champ all day

Still love the TW, thanks George, that was fun. Take care.

Hark at the sweet sound out the pipe absolutely fabulous 👌 😍 nice to compare the newer tractors against the old girl but we all know she'll be around in years to come where's unfortunately the newer more technical tractors won't be. Well George you've put many a big smiles on us older folk with that video well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 😀 👌 ta ta

Interesting results George, like you I would have expected the TW to romp away but it didn't and it's a handful of horsepower more.

Great Video George, thanks for sharing

wow, nice sound . gettin goosebumbs.

George, like I said before, Like a big kid in a sweet shop, cracking video😀

Great video George you can’t beat old school she’s a savage machine I’ve a fiat 160/90 a great tractor lovely hum from the engine

Much as I love the classic machines, my neck, shoulder and left knee, all worn out from years of driving them, would disagree with me. Despite that, I'd still rather be out doing fieldwork than stuck on Zoom meetings with people who have no lives outside of Zoom. Great video, thanks.

Lovely sound like the counties used to drive 1174 1464 s beautiful sound well done george fantatic

Most definitely can't beat the old TW George really nice looking tractor and awesome sound reminds me of my old six when she's pulling hard

Great series. The TW engine is 50 percent bigger then that of the Massey. If you continuously work the smaller engines at their limit it is doubtful that they would last as long as the big six. Also how will the modern tractors function with all the electronics and proximity sensors and other giblets in 4 years?

George Saunders, l watch almost all your videos, your TW is the only tractor in the fleet that makes you laugh and smile as much as that, that’s telling you something🙂

Back in the 70s we had a brand new 1124 county .dressed with Duncan cab and wiper blade . I used to travel about with a single Mole Plough. You've got 3 your 25s pulling . I was young and enjoyed the bark .. and glad you wernt in my field. That TWS A Differant class I hate to admit. Nice on head phones aswell .

Every video you made on the T5 you had a big smile on your face , but that was nothing compared to the smile when you fire old blue up thats the difference between a good tractor and a great tractor.

The TW still can put out some work today, 40 years later. I'm curious if the T5 or 5S would last 40 years of hard work, and still running strong.

you'd void your warranty and they'd likely not survive their first breakdown, TW15/25/35 were designed to spend their entire life expectancy at over 90% output. Now the T5/5S would survive 5x as long as them if it was a question of PTO use. The modern tractors are more tool carriers than draft machines.

No modern tractor will have a better sound than the T-DUB,surely not?Great reviews of the Massey and New Holland.Can't beat a bit of old school though😉👍🚜

Love the straight through. Shines and looks great.

Good video George 👍👍👍👍

Another brilliant video George . That sound 👌🏻👌🏻 . Is the little dx deutz gonna try next 😅

Sounds mint with a straight through pipe , it’s given my brother and I and idea to do with the one our dad as just bought

Hi loved the video you can’t beat an old Ford working she sounds fantastic let’s see if any of these new tractors with all those electronic gadgets and computers will still be working in forty years time like the good old Ford TW25.

New Holland have made the T5 good but you can’t beat the old tw . She’s amazing

re bonjour George encore une belle vidéo , il pourrons pas battre les anciens , bon courage a toi pour la suite 😍👍👍

The TW sound brilliant. To be fair, decades are between the tractors as you say. I wonder, when those modern tractors are out of warranty, what would they be like with an EGR, delete, AdBlue delete and a straight pipe on?

The T5 had an advantage due to the front loader pressing the front end down with more leverage due to the longer overhang of the loader. Combined with the flatlift pulling the backend down there will have been a lot of strain in the centre of the T5.

Have always loved the TW's. I only have a few acres, most of which I let out and my pre-force 3000 is plenty for my needs lol

Listen to that …… superb sound 👍💪🇮🇲✌️

Hi George could you do an update film looking at the area wear the fire was that you helped put out thanks

She still sounds great even at 40 years old... Take care sir....

As much as I love the tone and the song the old TW sings, she is a lot louder in the cab for a long day, you would need radio two on full volume, and I expect she burns a bit more cherry aid then the T5 or 5S

Great video - the TW is a great tractor, as are the new MF and NH tractors that you reviewed - the TW just sounds so much better for a granny

If the noise was the deciding factor then the TW wins hands down. Lovely sound.

They were pathetic and gutless. I never had a drive of a turbo 7610, which was reckoned to be a lot better.

How did they compare fuel wise

Probably the new pocket rockets have a bit more creature comforts 🤔 BUT ,,, reckon the place I'd spend the day listening to the orchestra in full tune would be the old T Dub 💪💪😁 great video 👍

Nice Sound 👍🤗 Cool Ford TW25

What you've just proven is that you don't need to spend 100k on a tractor unless you want air con and a radio you can hear hahaha

I would love to try my Renault tractor along side the tw would be awesome

Nothing beats the sound of the 1980s tractors I had a 5 cylinder air cooled deutz tractor and it was definitely breaking some sound barrier unbreakable though I still regret selling it

Hi George, as you say, what’s not too like about it. Question, did you use draught control, or the load monitor ? Now going to see how the fastrac compares. A T B Clifford

Cant beat the old tw. Such a good sound

Would have loved to see them head to head on a pull. Should have chained both tractors to the back of TW and see who goes forward and who goes backwards.

Don't put too much strain on the TW, she's still got plenty to give for her age. Great video and sounds 👍👍ta ta Ps how about trying the Fastrac ?

Sounds unreal👌👌

Sounds so good!👍

Sounding sweet!

Need to get the old Belarus on the flat lifter see what it manages!!!

We used to put a TW25 on a NH 275 baler back in the day Well over the top I know 😁 but we could bale all night as long as the shear pin held then it was time for bed😂

Around here they did a comparison ,40 years ago with a Ford 7600 and IH 956 on a forage harvester,and the 4 cylinder drunk twice as much fuel as the 6 cylinder,as you say the newer tractors are matching the gears to the circumstances where as TW ,cant quite do the same,what an electronic gearbox is like over time I dont know

The only thing I would change is a slight badge change to county 😁👍

But will they last as long with there plastic and computers .

You are having too much fun! 👍

Love your videos george but is the old tw not alot heavier she might have better traction than the two newer ones

love that sound of the TW

Love the tw 👍😁 But when was the last time she was on the dyno just to see how many ponys she has (or lost over the years), she maybe showing her age and ready for a little more love?

Now would look at that, nice lenght of straight through pipe. The thing of muckers dreams.

Evening George. Sorry but I'm Old School the TW sounds better, looks better and I bet she smells better, let todays generation keep their whipper snapper tractors and let us revel in the days when real tractors had the prefix TW.

I do love the T dub, even though the Massey and New Holland can keep up with her I’m willing to bet if they did a tug of war she’d definitely smash them. She’d be around 40 grand (give or take) cheaper aswell. Might trigger a few people saying this but.. it’s a real man’s tractor, you don’t get tank drivers in the army wanting air suspension and all that stuff because they don’t bitch and complain! 💪

Its not easy work nowadays either long hours and very unsociable its as big as strain as ever. When you get to retirement age with your body screwed up and not able to do anything because you wanted the rough ride plus TW only has a small 4 tonne lift capacity which is a problem for lager equipment as much as they were great in their day also the torque isnt there.

Even his boss commented how come him and my old man had drove it for years and nothing was ever broke and yet these other yahoo's get in it a few months and broke the seat and other things. Tbf their tractors never broke down they were religiously serviced and looked after. My old boy will tell you himself he still loved the old TW but its too slow for anything but field work and the lift is a weak point regulating what size of implement you can use before you destroy the lift. New tractors have much more usability and oil flow. They struggle to tip larger trailers also which is crap when you are under pressure these days. Tw's only have 2wd Braking. 40kph had 2wd with the 4wheel drive system that kicked in to help with braking and nowadays all 4 corners brake. Also Newholland exhaust brake is a great job and the CVT can match any job you need compared to even a semi auto

Howdy George , i know which tractor i would go for if we had a stuck tractor in the mud, the TW, im sur5e she has more weight and better planted for pulling, love these tractors ,,, can you clean the windows pls george. Can you get your Hands on a county 1174 one of all time favourites.

Keep that TW going strong 😊

but how many gears does the tw have compared to the nh and massey? if the modern tractors have more gears with closer ratio's then they can use the power more efficiently thus pull just as well as the tw. the tw with its crash box is compromising all the time.

If you swapped something like a 12v Cummins into the tee dub what would you call it? TW69? lol

Be interesting to see if the modern tractors are still about in 40 years to have a go at pulling subsoiler, tw in 80 years may well be!!!!!

I like this comparison. You have any idea of fuel usage? Do those small 4cylinders start drinking a lot under that heavy load? At least you proved a 4cylinder engine can be as though as a 6 cylinder if the whole drivetrain behind is well thought out.

They do, I just traded my Deutz-Fahr 6140, a 4 cylinder 140 hp; it had to work at max power pulling my Krone Comprima Baler and sits at about 22 litres/hour. The new 6 cylinder, 200 hp takes just 10 l/h, which with todays diesel prices more than pays for the additional cost of the tractor. Now, AGCO are pushing 200 hp with their 4 cylinders, but I’m not convinced of the long term durability of pushing a small engine that far. But the 4 cylinder 140-something are great tractors if you want something agile and versatile but don’t need the max power all the time. Great for loader work, especially with a CTV transmission.
