Here's some lovely Ford 4/5000 gear working at the 2023 Craigs Tractor Enthusiasts Silage Day held outside Cullybackey in County Antrim. This was a fundraiser in aid of Air Ambulance Northern Ireland, a really worthy charity. 4000/5000 working with 42" JF FH 112s and a Kidd MK2 double chop.
We have more clips coming from other makes/models including 10 Series Fords, Massey Ferguson and Nuffields working with single and double chop harvesters.
The 4000 at the end is a bit different - it has a 7810 III Series 6 cylinder engine, standard clutch and brakes, power steering, 7000 tyres, oversized fronts, roughly 110HP. Unbelievable machine - pity that the weather didn't help the footage quality for the road sections clips.
