Nice to hear. They are brilliant things and still so useful today 😀

Thanks glad you enjoyed it

Thanks The problem in this video was an unusual mixture of fuel I got free off a mate… on petrol or TVO it runs perfectly. Yeah the loader is a brilliant thing and has a lot of power for the size of the tractor. Just not quite as easy to use as a modern loader but for its time it must have been and still is really, amazing.

@@SteveLlewellynbgr beats the hell out of a shovel and wheelbarrow ha!

@@anthonyconlon8609 definitely! 🙂

Thanks and yeah there’s no problem at all with the tractor it was just the rubbish fuel I was burning. It’s completely fine on decent fuel

You are 100% right there it was running pretty awfully and would only run at high revs. A garage I go to occasionally gives me some free fuel when they have had to pump a tank out after the wrong fuel has been put it. This stuff has a little bit more diesel in it than I thought. I added more clean petrol after and it was fine. I’m sure some experts may get upset about using fuel with diesel in but its not done any damage over the last few years 🙂.

@@SteveLlewellynbgr Well being a 100% know it all and i do know everything trust me i do NOT !!!!!!!!!!! I get where you are coming from but i would not do that to the old girl she is like me old and i struggle on anything but yorkshire tea if i drink anything else i run on 3 not 4 if you get my drift so just give her good fuel please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@allanhughes7859 👍 know what you are saying. I am currently running on a proper TVO mix as we now have a kerosene heating tank that’s easy to get some out of. 🙂. If I get offered some free fuel again I’m not sure what my answer would be but need to come up with something more scientific than the smell test to check what’s mixture it is! 😂

@@SteveLlewellynbgr well done look after her because she will look after you thats for sure as mine has done for me sorry just had to wipe a tear away get very emotional these days L.O.L.....

@@allanhughes7859 They are amazing machines aren’t they! Had the TVO one now 8 years and has never properly let me down. Even doing 80+ mile runs to shows and lots of work at home and for others.

I have never yet had the problem of not being able to tow anything. Powerful for their size.

we used greedy boards on these trailers back in60s muck carting prob had 4to5 ton no problem

oily lampman It would!!

Thanks, yes a balanced bucket would be a nice thing. I do have a spare one that I haven’t yet tried. I was actually quite surprised how easy the soil was to move, it had been sat there for probably about a year. I have moved tons of soil and stone with that fergie over the years And hard soil can certainly be a pain but once you’ve got a workable face to attack it’s not too bad. But certainly tricky. The weight on the back certainly cuts down the want for it to wheel spin but will happily do so on wet ground They are brilliant little machines for their age, thanks for the comment.
