Interesting to see that unit has a cab, but doesn't seem to have a ROPS.....

In 1980 about 20 to 30 D8H were brought in from the uk to Australia after a major road project was finished l know of 3 of them in the Moree nsw area one has a serial number 22a 1436 and 1438 the other one wasn’t far from these one as well be interesting what that one is

Aw the little Puddy Tat wakes up ! Lovely !

Love it 😍

J'adore les schlüter mais dommage qu'ils en font plus

Was the self starter a modern adaption?

Beautiful one iof my favorite tractors. I remember being 9-10 years old when I first saw one of these putting anhydrous down in Iowa.

Hi, i have a question about the cab rotation, we have a 2006 xerion 3300. Its cab rotation is opposite of yours and it doesn't sit down on the locking pins like it should. Would you happen to know how to fix this issue? I have no known dealers in my area that work on these and would like some help if possible. We are on the east Coast of the USA. Great sounding machine.

I was the first owner of that Challenger, should of kept it!

She does sound well😊👌

She sounds good beast😊

.

Where is this harvester working?

So einen hätte ich mir seiner Zeit kaufen sollen, und jetzt muss man astronomische Preise bezahlen wenn man überhaupt einen bekommt 😭😭

As a MF mechanic, I PDI'd plenty of MF 1200's & 1250's, seviced lots, did BIG break downs on a few, but when I moved on working for various agri contractors, I never got to operate one, well I did have an afternoon discing with one, loved every second.

Very nice setup, my friend has a 75c parked up as he doesnt like it as he prefers to pull his 10 furrow dowdeswell with his cat d8h on reclaimed gypson clay, needles to say the d8 has broke the plough a few times lol

Did you send the serial number and location to Massey Dave?

A great looking example of the MF 1200. The fact that the cultivator has the standard shanks, rather than the low draught ones, must have offered a fair bit of soil resistance to the tractor ?

615LSA .. einer der geilsten Traktoren die ich je gefahren bin . bei dieser Serie benötigte man selten den Allrad Schalter. das isnd noch richtige Eisenschweine .. die ziehen wenigstens was weg ..

A tidy beast.

That sounds abreast you can't beat the sound of them working hard an a bit of black reek lol

Moin Fahre sonst eher etwas jüngere , ABER K 80 ran und dann nehme ich beide abwechselnd 😊

Ooo she does sound well!! Definitely beats my old girl for reverse drive 🤣. I guess it flips the steering so it’s the right way in reverse?

Lovely looking machine ! Sounds marvellous too !

schluter my fevorite tractor 🤙🔥🔥

Some headland

Shum bukur po livrojka

May I ask where this footage was from ? Wondered if that was a big old Cat D8 hooked up to an even larger Dowdeswell plough on the right - possibly another DP2 or perhaps a DP4 ?

For their weight and horse power, nothing else came close👍

It's really great to see these old tractors still being used effectively everyday, who needs the latest half million pound tractor to farm efficiently, I'm loving your videos 🎉

Presumeably, that intermediate pivotting carriage, controls depth at the front ? Since you say the castoring action of the rear wheel has been locked off, may I ask what would happen, if it were free to castor in the usual way ?

That’s a nice example

Like the private reg 😎😎👍

What power are you getting out of the 55 see mixed literature saying either 230 and 270hp

A job I need to have done this autumn but the ground is rock hard at the mo🤦‍♂ and definitely won’t be doing it with a Challenger 55

Good old magnum done a few hours clod busting with one of them brilliant content 👏

Full tilt beast absolutely 👍

that a nice 1200 at work a very unrated tractor great sound 👍👍

Yard Art! Crush them all and make rebar.

😍😍 lovely!

Sounds like a galloping horse with odd firing order, lol

Imagine seeing that back in the day rolling the country side 😳😁

How many gears?

How do you find the 55 pulls what do you think it’s limits would be modern lemken 4m combi or sumo trio 3m ?

Great video, lovely to see that Claas in action

Just got a 6f Dp2 Ona linkage anything to keep an eye on or tips to be used on a class 55

Jammer dat zulk spul niet meer gemaakt word de goede ouwe tijd

Very nice, always been my favorite tractors

Trattore Stupendo. FORD THE BEST.

Very cool! These tractors earned a reputation for a faulty engine design that they didn’t really deserve. The engine itself was well designed and was in fact over built for the power it made in the 8850. Deere had plans for that engine to produce considerable more power in future applications but that was never realized after the reputation plunged. The biggest design flaw was actually the frame not being stiff enough and applying stress to the engine block. Many 8850’s have run well over 10,000 hrs before needing overhauling. In the pay loaders the same engine frequently made 20,000 hours before needing major repairs. Thanks for the video!
