Footage from a mighty fleet of mostly 2WD Ford/New Holland lifting grass in the Braid Valley, County Antrim. This isn't a charity day or vintage display - this is proper silage for real where neighbours help neighbours and the pace is laid back. Just like it should be! The stone walls and the mighty scenery in the background just set this off.
Very tidy matching 7740 and 6640 looked very well together, with Claas Jaguar 61 harvester, and Fraser and NC trailers. Very unusual to see a 4610 on silage duties these days but this one was in brilliant nick and was a real highlight.

The 4610, was there a more capable tractor for its size ever built? I think not. Pure gem of a wee tractor.

Oh what a fantastic video! A silage field full of classic Fords! Very rare to see one 2wd 40 series working never mind two and they’re blue roof NH badge examples too. Can’t remember last time I seen an LP cab Ford 4610 pulling silage trailers, looks great on those 16.9/30 tyres too. 4wd Ford 7740 completes the picture! Absolutely brilliant!

Glad you enjoyed it! This was one of the highlights of our collection so far. Seeing anything 2WD is unusual these days on a harvester. The wee 4610 tops it for me, just something so different.

This is how it should be done,, more equipment more jobs more flexibility for you to go when you need to, costs down and fun up,,, things have gone to gay, fuck the 800hp self propelled that costs half a million pounds, a good 100 hp for 20k or less is more my style , ,

Brings me back forty years when we spent all summer cutting silage, then things just kept getting bigger, we picked up 500 acres in two and a half days this may and gave the contractor enough money to buy a whole set up like this and will have to give him the same again before the year is out. I would love to be back at it again but it’s all about time and we haven’t got enough as it is, back then we would give this lad and that lad a dig out when something broke and they would come to our rescue when we were in bother, now the contractor arrives with a couple of million quids worth of gear and his own diesel lorry and does in an hour what we might have done in a very long,very good day. Maybe we have all gone too big, too much stock, too big of machines and far to much debt, back in the day if you wanted a new tractor you bought it and payed for it now they want us to buy everything on the never never( more tax efficient they say) but it means you can buy stuff that you may not really need just because you can. Back in the day you only bought a 4wd if you were going to plough the side of a mountain or a bottomless bog , 2wd would do the job 99% of the time and did. For Pete’s sake our scraper tractor is 4wd , total over kill but it’s old and worth very little and it does the job and it is not really worth replacing it with a 2wd more sensible one because that’s going to be an expensive replacement, so it can work away until it dies! Thinking about it, it might not be to long until it has to be replaced she clocked up 25000 hours over the weekend !

@@Andy-ix2ox yea I understand, the chap I work for has some nice kit, but even now with tractors that would boss a week of lifting grass he still gets the self propelled contractor in 🤣,, he has a 4x4 on a scraper also 😜,,, and X2 jd 6215R's, it's like driving a big ride on lawn mower I tell him... Nothing like the old days of a nice tw15 or a Renault 145-14 etc etc,, god I miss it so badly,, but yea time is money and if you really want to get on then sadly the bigger newer kit is a must,, back in the day accros 1000 acres you would have had 7 farms, now it's about 1 to 2,,, and even then it's not easy to make it work,, it's gone mad
