I’m still trying to figure out what country you guys are in I think it’s United Kingdom London or England or something like that.

Wow when you climbed into that cab I was 15 again in 1987. My uncle had a garage in barrow hill next to the railway shed and managed to buy some land from the railway which was all overgrown with trees. Now the one he had was an IH 3in1 the cab is very similar especially the holes your legs went down but i was a bit scared of the thing at first and I'll never forget him saying get out of the way I'll show you as he went FULL BORE into the trees. The little thing pushed them down like saplings. He said to me "There you go are you alright with that than" and i spent the 6 weeks holiday clearing that land. Happy Days and many thanks.

8:28 "That smoke has killed my hopes and dreams. How dare you". I love the sense of humor in your videos. 👍

ThankYou for all of the Great VIDJA’s. You are a Champion of the 3 “C’s” complaint , cause , correction , & sticking to the basics of diagnosis ! - A “ VALVO” rock truck. LOL !

Brings back memories of loading manure and feeding sheep with an ancient open station wheeled massey like this. Sound and controls were all pretty much the same.

Just subscribed having stumbled upon this channel. The educational value alone, from machinery revitalisation to medical terminology, is quit simply second to none. @ 10:30 and on for instance, medical terminology such as 'Tard Launcher' :-) You just won't find this depth of knowledge, or the complimentary manor in which it's put across, anywhere else!

First time watching your channel. Nice channel with a bit of sassy humor. I like it. I'll subscribe.

Great video mate, nice to see you felt the machine has character. I understand as also have owned one for a while now, few minor fixes all working.

"How dare you produce your channel the way you want to!! " Just outrageous! 😂

Brilliant! I had an MF 40 with that backhoe on and a Drott 4in1 on the front and a Bristol Taurus Dozer with a Drott 4in1 . both had the Perky 152 3 cyl ..amazing bullet proof engine that runs all day on a sniff of derv. And you are right ..you get really good on the levers and its nothing like the new controls at all Thanks for bringing back many happy memories of me axle deep in mud :D

Now I want a "drott" for my OC46, that Watch Wes Work has been fixing up for me 😎😎😎 Maybe next Christmas, there will be a brand new 1953 Studebaker Starlite Coupe setting in my driveway.

Podge, If I looked out the window tomorrow and there was a brand new XR 600 out there I would be pretty happy. Keep giving those pelicans a good rev up, that is what makes the world go round for the rest of us. Jeff.

Now that’s a useful piece of machinery !

I drove a 200b for while building the metro center in Gateshead they where on the way out of general use by then but had an advantage of being relatively low to work under the steelwork doing drainage and preparing floors for concrete the big advantage of them was that they where around before 4x4 tractor diggers invented and where very popular on large housing sites where they could travel off road where a 2 wheel drive MF50B , or JCB 3c and the like could not because of the mud in the winter month in particular , the 4x4 tractor digger by them with with a telescopic boom and often pallet fork plus a nice cab pretty much killed them off quite quickly but through the 1970s and into the early to mid 80s they where a very common site

I learnt to drive a digger in a 1964 Kato excavator and that is how I know why JOY STICKS are called joy sticks, them old things were like dancing with an octopus that didn't like the music.

I’m here for the great vids and the banter keep it.

Geoff Claxton in Australia here when I was 10 years old I got to have go on one of the dots like the one you played with, when we came out to Australia I got a job operating a job 7c excavator and spent most of my working life doing that. Keep the blog coming mate they bring back a lot of good memories back for me . Thanks Geoff Claxton

Got to be a Mini Moke, 10 inch wheels, blue with a white canvas top

Update. Apparently according to a light hearted email I have just received from a mate in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, he joked by Christmas morning he expects we all will be in Tier 6, which means you can't even open the curtains to see what's on the drive!!! Then on the 31st we will celebrate the coming of the New Tier. Only place you are safe now is on your own in the middle of a field in an old Drott with a copy of Classic Tractor magazine, a packet of hand wipes and some Cillit Bang spray to ward off Ramblers

I love the yellow massey Ferguson equipment! They’re so overbuilt and tough as nails. Wish we still had the 30B backhoe at work. But we didn’t have the time or funds to repair it.

I worked on a mining site years ago and my boss used a drott and as you said it was like his third arm.He save the truck I was driving from tipping several times and a few others also. He sure was a good operator, I love seeing these old machines again.Cheers.

I would love to see a mint condition landrover 110 station wagon (not the new shape)

I wouldn’t mind seeing a Ford Ranger Raptor, on Christmas morning.

Oliver 1855 4wd tractor, had one on the farm when growing up and I miss it everyday, machine was a sledgehammer. Love the Channel thank you for your hard work!

Reminds me when I was a youngster & the neighbour who was a contractor let me have a go on his Drott ( international B100). Only tracking hardcore in up & down in a low gear but for a 10 yr old blooming thrilling. It seemed a huge at the time but now they look

John Deere 2030 with a water tight cab for once

Hey Muck, Happy Christmas.

In the early days Drott manufactured everything. They would buy bare crawler tractors and manufacture the loader frame and arms, then the bucket and the rest of the package. I grew up on 4 stick controls with foot swing, it’s easy, just spend 10 hours in the seat. Love the channel, keep up the great work. I would like a 1964 Autocar with a 318 Detroit and a 13spd with 4:88 rearends.

Another top vid mucker. The jcb was a bit smoother to operate then the massey but you didn't do bad. Easiest question I've ever been asked ducati 916, that would put a bigger smile on my face than waking up and seeing the wife's head between my legs.

Bugger me, you need about 5 arms to control that thing!

My late dad on his 4000.

Another good video Sir!! Glad you take the time to film rescuing old Iron. You must have quite the accumulation by now. Love to see a 91 Dodge extended cab 12-valve 2500 4x4 sitting out front.

Well that brought a tear to an old mans eyes, the unmistakeable sound of an MF 135 engine and lever controls. Thanks Mucker! For me a Fiat Panda 4x4 just for the fun of it.

Dont do face book , twater, so im stickin it You n your have as gooda christmas as you can . All the best for the new year sure me and another 30.000 subs look forward to it . Take care MUCKER

I open the window in the ol' alta-fab shack and see all the piles of shit I ever wanted!

I wish for the same thing every year, a 6R4 Metro. Thanks for the Video LM, enjoyed 👍

I truly appreciate your channel. Keep up the great work!!! Ford Raptor

Amazes me how stuff gets left and forgotten about. What a great old thing and still a usable peice of kit..

That is an interesting piece of history, nice to see it working. It shows how much things have developed since but to be fair it would still be a valuable tool on a smallholding or something similar.

Nothing like a little hydraulic cavitation in the morning to tune the senses. A 1972 Chevy C30 4x4 with single rear tires, 454 gas guzzling power plant would really be a Christmas to remember.

Just found the channel And subscribed right after you responded to the crayon eater who went batty. That old Massey is perfect for digging next to foundations and tight quarters, pretty cool how the whole boom can move from one side to the other. Great content. That's a healthy dog!!

Thats a Cool old Digger. Operaters Back Earned There Pay Running One of Those All Day. Love The Vids !

Tard launcher !....😂😂😂😂 best I’ve heard yet ! ,you never fail to make me laugh mucka! 👍

Thank you for my weekly laughs. You always get me laughing and smiling, and i appreciate it. Subaru impreza

Great video awesome to see these old machines going, keep it coming .

Happy Christmas my old mucker, .this is a very relaxed and pleasant site.

MK 2 Escort RS1800 twin cam. Great video Kurt.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

That Furgy sure shined through during her heydey still a little glamour coming out.Merry Christmas. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida GMC Sierra in the driveway

What a wonderful old lady nice and tidy first piece of big kit I drove at college was a drot scared s###less in the cab pulling on the clutch levers it was full scale workout for machine and me we also had a old Ford backhoe with the same lever configuration up and downs with no left and right

I had a Tusker digger (two cylinder lister engine hand start but adapted.) for a few years. I do not want to go back to the "good old days".

What a marvellous old girl, would love to see more of it!

Amazing versatility built into that machine, someone aught to restore this old beauty! Maybe I am being sentimental or totally mental!

Another great video. I’ve only ever seen 2 of these. Back in the late 70s there was a large building site in the village and they had one brand new for the whole job, clearing, footings , you name it. Also our local steam railway still uses one 👍👍👍

No doubt about it an E R F truck . Many fond memories of driving these vehicles .

Nice little digger , excellent video and very informative . Always wondered about the drot name , now I know. The car I'd like to see on my drive way on Christmas morning , a classic Porsche 911, or a series 1 E type coupé, , or a Dodge Ram pickup with Sandra Bullock in the drivers seat ,, Mmmmmmmmm! Keep up the good work , and I wish you a merry Christmas .

you got nice unique machinery on this channel. that would make a good project to restore it, paint job, seat and other things that needs to be done it.

Another great watch and chuckle. Ford F150 fae Santa.

"Shitter was full" 🤣🤣 absolute quality.. 👍🏻 keep up the good work.🚜👍🏻

Beautiful old 200b. Quite Jealous 👍. Worth restoring. Machines like that are rare. Similar to a International 100b drott , JCB backhoe. More please.

I leant too operate a machine like this without the back actor. At 91/2 yrs old just wide enough to g5in the back of a Bedford tipper. Fond memories

Another great vid, for me a MK1 Escort Mexico. My uncle rebuilt a crashed one back in the 80s when he worked in an accident and repair shop.

I'll tell you what, the old girl would still dig a trench, back fill it, then track it in faster than you could do it with a shovel. Bloody good video.

I would finally love to see my grandads Massey 135, I learnt to drive this long before I could drive anything else, not only that but I would love to keep it in the family for years to come so when I start a family I have somthing to pass to them. And would hope they get as much enjoyment out of it that I have while growing up.

She looks tidy and been well cared for. I drove a Ford 4550 a few years ago and was quite abit different to what I'm used to. Wouldn't mind seeing a Austin Healey 3000 in the drive.

She is low on oil but the smile on your face priceless 😂

A DAF 2800 4x2 Tractor unit. The first truck I ever drove shunting trailers as YTS diesel fitter for a tanker company.

Crawler loaders are fun. Buddy has a 350B JD we play with every once in a while. Bout gutless with the little 3 banger in it but it’s a blast to run and it’s power shuttle to boot. Guy that used to live across the field from us was a equipment operator his whole life. Cut his teeth on a Case 530 backhoe. Not even a CK just a straight 530 so that says how long ago he started. He called the individual levers lightning rod controls. I never got to see him run one but dad did and he said that guy was the quickest smoothest operator you ever saw.

Cracking vid kurt , never have seen a drot so was really interesting , the smile on your face was all anyone needed to see how impressive the old girl was . Vw bus/camper not fussed if it has split screen or not .

When I see Drott, I think of the 1800 crane. They also made Drott track excavators, lots of them, they dotted the construction landscape for many many years.

Would love to see a ford Sierra cosworth what a classic they are. Smashing video and what an amazing find she was cant wait for the next one

It was my pleasure sending that to you Kurt for all the great vids you do for us.. The car has to be Escort mk1 Mexico.. Take care and have a great day sir..

Loved the video, reminded me when I was an ankle biter watching the drotts working on a housing estate along with jcb 3c2 and little put put dumpers. I'd like to see on my driveway my old mk2 ford cortina 1600 gt coupe. She was stolen and I still think about her to this day.

Loved watching this my dad used to use old drott’s back years ago For demolition

Merry Christmas and thanks for all your very entertaining videos

I've always wanted one of these. If only one would come up for sale. She'd be a nice thing to restore.

Good to see a good old Norfolk boy making these great videos! My choice of vehicle would be a Series 1 Land Rover!

Another quality video! That massy looks in surprising good shape. Much fun to be had there!

I recently subscribed to your channel and I really enjoy it! You get to have all the fun operating the old iron after getting it running! Keep up the good work and I also like the equipment overalls that matches the piece of equipment you are working on. Take care and have a Merry Christmas!

Great stuff, you are a lucky guy to get to work on these machines, keep it coming mate

What a great machine back in the day if you were on that you’d be a happy bunny 😀 my Christmas morning treat would be a nice JD 4240S on my drive. Sad I know but it’s the machine that just gets me going 😂😂👍 great video again mucker 👍👍

A nifty little machine Kurt, a Deutz-Fahr Dx 6.10, If you don't post before next week, Merry Christmas Kurt to You and Yours and Thankyou:):)

Driveway? My Scimitar GTE. Need to finish restoring it first though, so not this Christmas. Great channel. Don't change lar.

What an amazing bit of kit. Great to see it working. I have a three point linkage excavator of similar Era with very similar controls and is a handful to control. Keep the great content coming. 👍🏼

My old Navara. Spent about a month of my life and 5kgs of mig wire and a filing cabinet rebuilding only to snap the chassis again towing too much plasterboard. May she rust in peace. Happy Xmas and stay safe.

That is a really good find ! And I know it’s late but would of been nice to see a new f350 powerstroke !!

What a machine can’t believe how well it’s working.

LM , don't anything different !! Your channel is awesome thanks for all your hard work 👍

Exellent channel content and delivery, as always bud. Christmas morning I'd like to see my first ever motor when I was 17, I'm now 53 😫, a 1976 lwb landy hardtop with chrome 8 spoke wheels, loved it

Would love to see a Foden 6x6 Artillery limber truck with an FH70 behind it, first military vehicle I saw when I joined up, never got to drive one when I served but drove everything else. Its nice to see somebody enjoying themselves tinkering with old machines you lucky so and so 😂

What a great channel. Thank you for all the effort you put into it. When I see stuff like this it begs the question, why was it abandoned? Makes no sense to me. It is not a new truck but Christmas morn a 1979 Ford F-150 standard cab, long wheel base would be great.

There is nowt wrong with how you do your videos. Love them so much and so entertaining

Awesome little machine. I could play in that all day

Great steel burnout!!!

I love the way you edit, i'm new here just going through your old stuff.

Great video love all things about classic plant and tractors wish I could find something as lovely as that abandoned On Christmas morning would love to open the curtains to see a David Brown crawler

Had a little play on one of these back in the 80s did the job but wouldn't like to go back 😁

Nice find!! Not a bad looking machine for sitting in the woods. I'd use it!

I could watch these all day 👍👍😎😎

Massey Ferguson 35. Have a Marry Christmas mate.

Beautiful old machine ! I remember sitting in a MF 300 drott at five years old with guy who gave me my job when I left school ! Keep going you do well and yes your hilarious 😆👍
