Looking forward to seeing the challenge take place 😀

What a challenge Mucker. You are the man for it.

Too many beers have gotten us all into some tricky spots 🤣 good luck

Farm I worked on as a Young pup had a 78,79,8210 as the daily..66 with a loader and a TW25...the 78 was the fought over tractor

Sounds a great challenge between both tractors , I am sure you will get the jobs the 7810 done in time . Great video Mucker 👍🚜🔩

Old rules on what tractors do. First traction having enough tire to pull the machine. Second enough weight to get the tires to grip the dirt. Finally enough power to keep the tires moving. If you get the right balance of these factors for the conditions you will compete on you will win unless the 8210 is also set for conditions.

Just watching you in that workshop is making me feel cold!!🥶

Great entertainment, looking forward to the challenge.

Unlike tractors of today tractors of the 8210/ 7810 era had the benefit of the magic 10mm spanner 😉🤣😂

I think if it was a race against them then the 7810 would come out on top but pulling random implements would work in the 8210s favour. Can’t wait for this one!! Fenland Rob

Good luck Mucker , I think you will win , you have the skill and talent to get the most out of that 7810. In your words, "DO WELL!"

next week ' Lord Muck demonstrates how to fill tractor tyres with anti-freeze & water ' .. lol

Thats a lovely running 6 cyl in that 7810. Please put her on the dyno to see whats shes kicking out.

Perhaps a sneaky Nitrous kit cunningly concealed under the seat….. Nod nod, wink wink 😄

Im glad you didn't use ether, as you know, engines become addicted to it😂😂😂,next thing the 7810 will be out robbing tellys to buy some.. looking forward to seeing the challenge

Oh dear sounds like you've put your foot in it!🤣 Well I'm sure she'll do you proud, just like that cold start!

Always just the greatest content 😊 in 2023 you got me started watching tractor videos 🚜

Straight piped 7810/40’s and equiv case were the sound of my youth. There were some singing examples pulling the hills of cornwall/devon at the time.

Oh dear, beer talk...😅 Well M'lod better give that pump a couple of turns and maybe something bigger from Mr. Holset? Look forward to the challenge! Do your stuff with the magic spanner😁 Cheers, Mike

Thanks Kurt excellent vid sir... Take care...

Reckon weight and ballast will be key, good luck with the challenge.

The magic spanner... I with you were my mechanic!

I used to love those "old" Fords.... We had a 7610 on the farm where I used to work. It replaced the 6610 that was our mainstay for pulling power, which in turn replaced the 5000 before it. Then I went to work at an agricultural college where we had a shed load of tractors to choose from. I thought it would be good to try out the 7810, but I was disappointed with it. The 76 was a better machine in a number of ways, but then I was told that "That One" was a heap o' shy.... little fella he was, which was why no one else wanted to drive it. As you say, they did seem a bit variable from one to another, and our engineering bods soon found themselves involved in dyno testing them all. Let's say it was interesting to see the differences between them. Even the dealers couldn't find any reason for the discrepancies - even after an engine stripdown and rebuild, but I believe the fuel injection system came under suspicion at one point, and it runs in my mind that we had one with an inline injector pump, and one with a DPA pump. I'm not 100% sure how that panned out in the end. My health wasn't too good by then and I was on the verge of early retirement. I never saw the end of the "investigations".

I think you need to turn up in a 7810 green one 😉.

Good luck with the challenge, can’t wait to see it.

Always more than one way to get the job done. For example I was plowing in slurry yesterday with my Deutz D100 06 with MFWD the slurry made it hard to pull a three bottom plow. Some people would say turbo that tractor to "make it" a 130 06 instead of that what I will do add back on the front weights and put a dual tire on the land side.

May the best tractor win.Can,t wait for the contest.

Great video Mucker it should be an interesting challenge looking forward to it

An old-fashioned tractor pull. 😎 Love it! May the best "10" win! (Of course, we all know it will be yours, we just need to make it official) 👌

What ever you do DO NOT use that Bahco adjustable spanner. Remember what happened last time with the 360. You have been warned 😁

i love the 7810 and that era of tractor am sure it will win the challenge

8210 gearing makes way more use of the power...! Could drop the rev to ticking over with a plough in the ground ! Not a bother then apply the steal toe cap boot to the foot throttle &she wud hum like a bird ......

Not sure on the rules, twin duel her with fresh boots on gotta be in your favour 🤔👍 look forward to seeing this challenge, as you always say Do Well 💪💪

I found the 8210 a numb old lump, our last 698t was just as good, physically smaller and has/had superior hydraulics😮👍

FORD IS GOLD 💪👌👍 SIMPLY THE BEST 💪👍❤️

7810 lovely tractors 😊

Little collie got best idea. Stay at home cup of tea and biscuits. All coffee and biscuits.❤❤😅😅😂😂😂❤

Look forward to following your progress with this challenge!

Just went back an watched the straight pipe episode again and it certainly doesn't look like it has had the magic spanner 🔧 treatment as she was running really cleanly 👌

Good luck mucka you know you can do it tb turbo,🙈🤣😂 👍

Seeing you’ve put that battery on reminded me of an instant I had a long time ago when I worked for JJ Thomas I was putting a battery on a 95 100 and the bonnet stay slipped it was an early one, so it had a steel bonnet and the bonnet landed on the bridge of my nose, so I couldn’t move and had to wait for somebody to help me.

Great stuff Kurt and Puppo, and Good Luck😁🤞👌👍🙏🙂

Going to be great to see. Thanks for the video.👍

have seen 7810's with a Turbo fitted, might be time to look into that along with plenty of weights and new Tyres.

Just got in ,hot soup waiting then presented with your new vid.thanks Lord Muck. Makes it a bit more worthwhile, keep up your fine work mate best wishes to you.

Best of luck mate, I look forward to the updates 👍

Excellent video Lord Muck :) and that be good challenge on both tractor you said about too also very interesting to!

Sounds like a good laugh to me 😂. Nice bit of grunt to her👌

Can't wait to see the tournament 😮

Good luck Muck!

Great video. Enjoyed watching 👍🏼

Great video mucker good luck with your challenge will be nice to see some ford power go head to head 👍🏻

It's not the power it's how you use it 👌🏻 Drive well and the challenge is yours 👍🏻

Thanks for the 7810 vid Mucker

We all know a chrome straight pipe could be the thing that makes all the difference 😂

Can’t wait to see the challenge the 78 sounds great 👍🏻

Good Luck, Lord Muck.

Not real familiar with those Blue tratters,but from what I've read/ heard,theyre a pretty good outfit 👍👍👊🍻

Another great video M’lud.

Great video lm there’s a lovely sound from that engine

I agree the 8210 is way better 7810 is a great tractor but the 8210 just had something better about it. 👋👋

Mucker. At least you aren’t getting rid of the 7810. We want to see you keep doing it up and making content on it.

Hi Kurt Nice one Thanks again

Set of weights and give the pump a twist Great video

The 7810 was a good pulling tractor, i used to use one on a 5 Furrow Reversible Plough, the only thing that let them down was being able to clean the radiators out properly, which is were a 7910 or 8210 would have been a better tractor for Arable work.

This could get interesting, differences could be as small as who's liners have a bit more burnish in them.

This seems a bit of an uphill battle, not the hp , but rather the weight is of major concern.🛐 Did you encourage Kimberly @ that auction ❓

Bring it on is what I say . Do well

Great video mucker 👍👍👍

That's the trouble with Alcohol, any way im looking forward to the test even though I'd rather have a 8210. I concour also with identical models we had a brace of force 2 6610's. One was a good puller the other wouldn't pull your f***skin back....👍

the ford 8210 was the last tractor i used in my working life and yes i loved it

Magic spanner works wonders on a 7810😂

Nice episode LM This is an interesting challenge Or to put it another way Kim, LM has got a tractor for you to rebuild cos he got ambitious whilst in an advanced state of refreshment

My vote goes to the heaviest tractor the 8210

I totally agree muck I much prefer the 8210, you have a bit more weight to work with but there is nothing better then a 6 cylinder Ford apart from an international 6 cylinder and a John Deere 6 cylinder oh and I forgot an mwm 6 cylinder. 😂😂 what would be your best engine muck.

What was you drinking Mukka. It would be nice to get a bit of a challenge with zip ties of Christmas.👍🤞👏🙏😂

236 thousand miles!

Not about horsepower. It's about being able to put the wieght to the ground. Since it's across the pond i don't know how much difference between the two. Look like 8210 has more weight.

Is there room for a wee turbo behind that battery tray? No one would ever think to check 😉

give me an 8210 any day over a 7810 . im not really a ford fan , but something about the 8210

Me think's you may have to add a little ballast to go up against a heavier tractor, maybe a bit of ald school water ballast in the tyres ??????

Well there one thing shure... she would pull the backend of my ford 8730 no problem ... mind it's not connected to the rest of it though 😅😊... fair play with the beer championships that will open a can of worms... 😅.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Any half decent mechanic should be able to get a generic Nitrous kit plumbed in over a weekend.

The 8210 has more of a beasty presence in comparison to the 78. Your almost in TW territory with the 8210..The 7810 is like a 7610 with a 6 pot.

Great video as always,looking forward to this challenge.where do you get the Ford tractor overalls?

Hey Mucker rather than changing the front tombstone could you screw 4 threaded roads into the existing casting and used 5 of the old style weights?

Sounds like you were drinking more than a couple of shandies but this will be fun and give you an excuse to get her done might need some new rubber for a fighting chance.

Nitrous Oxide...... 😂

What is the weight difference between the 8210 and the 7810? Going back a generation where it was said that a 3 cyl 4600 could out-pull the heavier 4 cyl 5600.

This may only add a horse or two but disable the charging system. 50 or more years ago drag racers in street legal classes needed to have charging system but would pull brushes out to disable them but system looked complete. Maybe even run water pump slower by changing pulleys. Might be minor but when competing every horse counts.😀

I love it! I challenged a friend who is a one upper (and a big story teller) to a pull off with my 5000 vs his 5000, that he has yet to aquire...

Engine wise, ther eis no difference between the 7810 and 8210 only a 1 screw of the pump. Depends on how much the 8210 is screwed, that 7810 is below standard judging on the smoke in the other video. Only a observation andthe cap is on pump screw so it might never have been touched. I gave mine a small screw and is running at 96hp on shaft. 8210 is lowly geared and it may work in it"s favour.

Hang all the weight you can, load the tires...

Will you put it on the dyno see what it’s putting out .

This is getting good😅

Sounds like a great stand off Mucka, but I have one question that I’m downgrading to know, when are you putting the video out about what your favourite tractor is. PLEASE 🙏

👌

You need to do a pull of with a 956

When you decide to let that beauty go you should raffle it, would love to win that old girl

Did you change the piston muck? Old boy worked to a contractor tractor whom used the 7610 pistons same bore and stroke but takes the extra pressure, his son took the screw out of her on the revs for one load too and she was passing the 82 on sheer reva alone lol bril tractors
