So what colour is your tractor? "Rust." Oh, so red? "No... Rust".

I rarely click on a video so fast as I do with yours, mate.

Beautiful old machines. You either appreciate and love them, or you don't.

What a great old Lady, and she can still sing in the opera. Bless her.

Love the old David Brown. Thanks for keeping it going.

I enjoy your program Marty , I’ve had the pleasure of visiting your Country , Thankyou sir from a working man ,to a working man ,cheers mate hello from Alberta Canada.

I think I've figured out part of why I enjoy your content so much. It has the feeling of those channels with the "wild natural living" vibe of hand-crafting little houses and shelters, but you integrate technology. However, you use technology that most people would write off as junk, very patiently repair and restore it, and put it back to work- in the process, doing a fantastic job of whatever you set out to do. Incredibly satisfying and relaxing, and I'm always amazed by how quickly you get ancient rust back to work. Love this channel.

What a great life you have Marty your videos are really great and help me relax and unwind after a long day of driving truck.

Every time I see that blade it makes me want to build one. Nothing commercial that I've seen myself is half as cool.

You certainly get your money's worth out of your equipment, Marty! That old John Brown 30 will indeed last another 70 years as long as she's in your care!

I love seeing those old blades and buckets getting shined up.

The old D.B's were good tractors, easy to use and easy to work on.

That old tractor works like a charm! Pops right off and eager to go. LOVE that simple dump/drag reset bucket! Brilliant and probably one of the reasons that tractor is still in use - elegant and long-lasting

Learned a few new Kiwi words today... Slip - a landslide Track - road Tipper - dump truck Thanks!

I love the simplicity of using a rope as the bucket release. Eliminates one set of hydraulics.

Love your videos the old girl gets a good workout nice 😎😎👍👍👍

50-year flood? Bloody Kiwis. Come across the ditch mate and we'll show you a 1,000-year flood here in Oz. Haha, hope you're ok, we are getting on with it. Cheers mate, love your work.

Always a joy to watch your videos putting old classic equipment to work! They don't make gear like that anymore.... and with all the new technology keeping equipment running today is rough!

nice to see a man with common sense and not just playing around to make content thumbs up

very neat old tractor my ferguson is 70 years old as well .Has done a lot of work well done sir Marty

👍 Oldie. But, goodie! Sure is WAY BETTER than by hand. Good job.

Gotta love the sound of that ol' David Brown when she's chuggin' along. Your editing as always is spot-on, and enjoyable. I'm always waiting to see your next video. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share the fun stuff, mate, it's appreciated! Glad to see the DB30 out for a good day's work, keeps her alive and well.

Hi Mart from the Capital. As a teenager in the 50s i worked for Craddocks Transport at Westport, where i cut my teeth learning to drive Fords, Chevrolets and Austin trucks, all crash boxes. We had a front bucket loader, Fordson tractor which was mean't to be used for bulk loads such as gravel, sand etc. Much the same vintage as your DB tractor. The problem was, the Fordson was always breaking down, so yes you guessed it, when someone wanted 3 yards of sand, we shovelled it on. I was about 17yo and often had blisters on my hands in those days. LOL. We also filled sacks with coal for delivery at the hopper down at the wharf. I was just a boy, and one guy i worked with used to abuse me for not holding the sack open correctly while he was filling it. He later became a NZ Police Constable. I often wondered how he managed to get into the Police Force. LOL. Bob. LH.

That old Tractor does a Great job...Back when tractors were made too last...Great Video Sir..

I love that David Brown! Doing the work every bit as well as a brand new tractor.. and with more style!

Another great video Mr.T, I still remember your comment last year about diesel/oil mix for rust control, I've not forgotton but I have to wait till we are done snowblowing so I may treat my "JD Lt150", I love her like you love your Equipment. You are taking those ol girls & giving them life again, love to watch you fix your "track", glad I have short driveway:) Keep up your great videos sir.& thanks for sharing with us here in Internetland:)

oil and desiel... kills weeds also in your parking spot. great video marty, thanks for bringing us along

That old David Brown is a trusty old work horse. I really like that multi-axis blade on the back. Thanks Marty.

Hi Marty, just love the old machines , I just can’t imagine how much hard work it would be digging it out by hand and saves a lot of hard work thank you for sharing the videos keep up the hard work brother Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia just over the ditch

Still a miracle of engineering, and used well !! Prayed for you all during the storms. Glad to see you're well.

Another awesome video the old tractor is doing what it was intended to do😎😎👍👍

Nice patina! Love the David Brown it lives up to its name!

Nice job Marty. There will likely be people that say, "Jeeze, why use that old stuff!" I say hand them a shovel to load with and a rake to spread it with. They'll figure it out quick! Wish I had your gravel here. We have clay and ledge, nothing much in between. We pay for gravel like you have, they call it "bank run". The name makes a lot of sense after watching you video!

Thank you soo much for not painting that irreplaceable patina. As always, Marty does it again! Need a Rambro’s offspring update video..

And the diesel and oil mix will make it smell good.. probably one of the most expensive cologne's money can buy at the moment. Great video!!

Nice tractor, nice video Marty T 🇺🇲🇳🇿

The "OLD BUGGER" still workin like new. Thx for ALL ur vids Marty. Enjoyable as always. Cheers from Montreal, Can. 👌

the DB has got some decent patina going on....

For a 70-year old girl, she sure doesn't seem to mind putting in an honest day's worth of hard work!

Great when you look back and say that your actually driven a David Brown crop master in NZ , Great job of spreading the rock ,your done more than the council have done in a life time lol

I truly enjoy seeing you use all of your equipment. And every time I see you do that, I think wow that is such a better use of equipment than trying to do it by hand - much faster and much easier on the back.

Brilliant stuff Marty, The contrast between the clear oil on the shiny dip stick and the patina background of the old workhorse that it belongs to, true value from a classic. Still a bit of rock in there mate but i expect you are making your way through it. Thanks man

There are many reasons I like watching the mini doco’s of your work day Marty. One of them is I’m never left wondering what I may miss due to your phenomenal camera set ups. No angle is missed. It shows you have the same dedication to filming as you do with your work and repairs. Wonderful stuff. Btw, I’m now watching the videos of your artist Mrs Marty T. We are spoilt.

It's amazing that a machine of that era is still able to work like it was intended to this many years later.

Nice blade work, Marty.

You do not need fancy new tractor to do it! Pleasant to watch how old machine still is very usable in capable hands! Mine is almost as old MF-65 mk2 from 1961 or 62? with 3.3 liter Perkins diesel! Bullet proof! and very reliable! Owned it over 40 years! It will last longer than me! 😂

You are the best neighbor! 👍🏼❤️

Love the high tech shovel release. A length of rope but hey it does the trick.

Love the high tech digital rope pull for the bucket. 👍

What a simple nice loader that saved lots of manual work and a sore back!

Nice job with the road repairs. My grader blade is the same except it has the height adjustable outrigger wheel on the back. I find it really helps to get an even surface. Enjoying your channel, thanks for sharing.

I love seeing “old iron” at work. Thank you for sharing!

Hey Marty awesome video as always. Take care mate

Excellent old tractor. Love it. Thank you

Enjoy all your videos, as you find, & repair old equipment then put it to use!

That old DB is a great little unit! Nice to see you don't rattle gun the back end out of everything, 99% of people would have put the rattle gun on that bolt. It's a shocking way to do things got to replace 2 wheel studs on the misso's Subaru after a "mechanic" striped them, and that's the second time I've had to replace a wheel studs in recent years because someone who should no better has buggered them through auto motive abuses, you've got to show things a bit of love especially if you want them to last

Looks great Marty 👍👍👍

Dear Marty T. 👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always (video and work). I absolutely love that you put all the machines you rescued/repaired/restored/maintained back to work again. This rusty old David Brown tractor with the front loader and especially the 3 way adjustable grader blade in the back, is a pretty versatile machine. By the way: Your Ute with the dump bed comes in handy often. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

We had one of those David Brown tractors that we sold in the late 80's when we gave up our small holding where the FALKIRK WHEEL now is in Scotland

70 year old tractor 🤔 That gives me some hope, I'm only 67 😊

That tractor is mighty happy after that heavenly bath of oil (and deisel) made me crack a smile

Your ole David Brown reminds me of my grandfathers ole Case probably about the same age still in the family and running strong

when a piece of equipment arrives into marty's care, it's like they have finally achieved their greatest purpose and happiness.

The high tensile remote control bucket release system is impressive.

Marty that blade is 10 times the newer one I own. Love the angle adjustment on it. 😉😁

Love seeing the old stuff restored and put back to work 👍❤️👍

9:38 “She’s an old classic man” said with well deserved affection, and totally agree don’t paint her … she looks better coated with only the oil and diesel patina juice anyway 👍👍

Isn't it amazing how many people don't appreciate wonderful old machinery, yet I always marvel that in the day this was state of the art, and like you have shown they are still as serious a tool as they were in their youth? Yet they give so much and ask so little? I find myself that I cannot help smiling when old girls like this ticking away like a sewing machine. Great video as usual and inspiring to see classics still working rather than classics put on a shelf where no one sees them work. What ratio do you mix your diesel out to? we used to just spray straight diesel and them work them dusty and never wash them again and it's amazing how much diesel will protect under that film and it was easy to reapply when you did your maintenance and cheap as I love the patina it gives I look forward to your next work adventure. Keep the dream Alive Brother

A man and his toys. I absolutely 💯 love what you do and have a no fear of the cliffs at the edge of your road yet it adds drama and tension to your videos. Real neat.

Great work on the road Marty . She deserves all that love and care you give her and yes , she will last another 70 years , cheers mate .

Just kiwi as Marty, hand controlled bucket on the front and blade on the back. Sweet job.

Hi Marty. I have a 65 year old 950 Davey brown. Missing a lot of parts, LOL, but she has moved a lot of earth over the years and I still skid logs with her. I even have the trip bucket. LOL

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos

Quite a mess you all had down there. Glad to see the old David Brown was still up for the task. I hope I work that good after 70 years.

Oh man, what a beauty that engine start was! Instant ignition like on the first day out of the factory... While the rest of the tractor clearly tells you it's been out there quite a while 😂 Goes to show what TLC and knowledge about engines can get you. Awesome!

Thanks Marty T, we have a David Brown 990 like yours. I like that back blade , lots of options. Central California Watching

This, is an absolutely wonderful channel. Reminds me so much of the folks around these parts of where we live. Here in the YAAK VALLEY, In NW Montana. The folks that are born & raised here. Not the rich west coast Holly-Weird-Crowd that has moved in down in the Whitefish / Bigfork area. None around here because it’s much to rural for them. Because there isn’t much in the way of infrastructure. No Big stores, Fast food or any restaurants. This area is considered extremely, Remote. Grizzlies / Wolves out-number people. And I’m dead seriously serious.

Boy that loader bucket is a trip! 😄

Perfect lunchtime viewing, Its made me remember my days forming and maintaining our farm tracks fondly. Thanks Marty. PS: my wife still won't let me buy one of those Chinese digger you borrowed from your mate, I'm still working on that though.

Such a beautiful tractor. You always do a great job with the tasks as well as the equipment..

She said gratefully to Marty : "Thanks for the spa session my dear..."

delightful classic machine. does the job too. thank you

Another great video, love the old gear getting a work out. Thanks Marty, keep them coming.

Marty T! Thanks mate, always look forward to your post. 🍻

Always fancied moving from the city to a farm when older. Your videos really put into perspective the knowledge, skill and the amount of work required to live in the countryside. Thanks for all the videos. Looking forward to new videos.

I like the wet paint look. Everyone is going for the patina style these days, your with the times Marty.

I can see her in the Town Square on a pedestal as the flying cars and saucers go by........

That old girl goes really well Marty she is well worth 4 litres of paint she would look good great old workhorse

Always great to see the old equipment back hard at work…!

Great bit of spreading without chains or a tailboard

Strenuous activity for the equipment operator!

the old girl seems to run well for a 70 year pld cant see todays tractors working as good in 70 years

Any piece of old equipment that can still get the job done. Is worth its weight in gold. 🙂

the oil diesel mix really makes the rust sparkle

I very much enjoy your videos, love the old machines!

The tractor is a beaut Marty, keep her running great to see it at work.

Another great video. Thanks for keeping this old iron alive and working. My favorite is that old 6 way angle blade on the back. That thing is a warrior. Ive bought newer style/type for my tractors and they wouldn't have made it through lunch on the work you got out of that old one. Its a beast.

Remember being around one of those loaders cleaning barn pens, had to watch out for the splash!

I adore David Brown! He does the job just as well as a new tractor... and with more style!

So old movies really were that jumpy back in the old days 1:52. 😂
