You bet!

The one I used to call "mine" in 1960 was new, then. Three cylinder Perkins engine and terrific starting!

i have one old 35...1964 year,great engine

They all are! Mine (45 years ago) was an old West of England wheat bag, the 2 cwt sort!

They are great - and so easy!

I just bought one a 1960 model gas good tractor you can do a lot with them

Right on - I had one once - brilliant!

This brings back a good few memories Alan!! Starting it from the side before grabbing a handful of straw, or hessian sacks to sit on!! We didn't have a 35x, but bought a brand new IMT 539 ( Yugoslavian 35x copy) in 1982, for yard duties, and more. Worked hard for many years!!

Thanks Phil. Did you find the IMT any different from a 35?

No, it was exactly the same, only with modern road lights and a roll bar.

To Tractormadsteve Thanks Steve. I just fell for this wee beastie - they are so incredibly useful for their size!

sweet tractor many a day i spent on 1 of em. gd video alan

That 4-banger Perkins sounds so good.

To thejohnmaloneman Yes - a great thrill for me to see these oldies working.

Nice - is it a restoration job or up and running?

to JonnyTM140 I remember working one of these with a 40" Lundell forage harvester. Second low, flat out - all day! THAT'S working!

starts brilliantly any way

To bufferbridge I used to love the sound of my 135 because it sounded so eager! That's the effect of the three cylinders, I suppose? The seats, well, I think my one was about 1960 - brand new when it was allocated me.

haha! my grandad worked for Lever's feeds so there were a few levers bags on the TE20s and MF130

The old reliable. And in good condition too!

Pi get to drive one of these once a week except it's a 135 and I am only 11 the guy who owns them is like 52 and he used to drive some different versions when he was young so he knows all about them lol

To phill903 Thanks Phil. Nice to see them still turning in an honest bit of work.

ours were 150 and 165 diesel MF's, yes great tractors

No air seat on that beast!! Straw me up!

To MF35master I cannot remember anything about the seat on the one I drove, except you removed the cushion or upended it, to keep it dry!

i drive the old 35 at work love working on a farm (DEVON)

I think the older ones are so much better because they are so much easier to drive and use than the new ones with all their tech stuff but in saying that I have never driven a new one before but I have sat in one.

They are also easier to fix, I learnt a lot of things by rebuilding a 4 cylinder 35 :)

How do you suggest I do that? It's not mine and does the same thing every day. Give me one that varied the routine and was under my control, and you'd be happy!

To AlzPembz Interesting. I didn't know there was a TVO version. I wonder if there are any left?

To JonnyTM140 On that job a quiet cab would have been very welcome! But the "mac" made a useful addition to the padding on the seat.

@balmesh thats for sure! and no air con to cool ya down!!

very nice tractor my uncle already have one

Do more videos on the 35

To leonoltus Perfectly normal - the tractor pushes all the slurry into a pit. Don't know anyone doing it differently.

Nice old MF 35

To MF35master Must have lost the official cushion (or it became life-expired)! At least he had dry straw!

Which do you think is better a Ferguson TE20 or a MF 35?I have a TED20 but I still think the MF 35 is better.

+Thecupcakerat 1 The TE20 was more popular than the 35 but the TE20's transmission was not very good so personally i think the MF 35 is better.

@Rev-Counter

The TE20 was a revolutionar tractor as Ferguson invented the three point linkage system now common on almost every tractor. I do prefer the 35 though - it has a better gearbox and generally feels much nicer to drive. We have three but only one works so far!

I've a ferguson 20 the downfalls are no dual clutch not the Easiest to start gearbox is good for ploughing but not good for bringing a trailer of turf 3rd gear to 4 gear is too much of a jump. But once you get rolling it's very fast mine will do nearly 40 k
