@farmhandstudios I dont know much about canadian Equipment, But This is a Disc Mower Conditioner. I think what you would call a Discbine? Operating speeds can be up to 25kph compared to 13kph with haybine
We have to 2100 both Synchro they are the best tractor ever , and we never had any clutch problems because we came up with a little trick to solve it.
We had a 2100 but decided enough was enough when it had 7 breakdowns in one day. Good idea at the time but they never developed it enough before launching it and tried to do a big tractor on the cheap. As with this one it sounded great but the clutches always gave trouble and the hydraulic pump drives and the hydraulic lift capacity even with assistor rams wouldn't lift our 4 furrow reversible plough off the ground. Can suffer from overheating if worked hard. Had Nuffields and a 384 as well
nice vid, good job well done. im glad you didnt edit music over it. nothing wrong with the kit your using but the only trouble with hauling with a 2wd tractor is that you dnt get very good braking, other than that its all good
this is farming without billions in subsidy. You got my respect. The video is great farm work. Beats those pretty shining hoods you see in other videos.
About how much H.P. was a 2100 Leyland? I grew up near a dealer here in the U.S.that sold Leyland tractors,but I've never seen a 2100.Nice looking michine for it's age though.
This is exellent, a credit to the owner for keeping these fine machines in every day use. It reminds me of our own silage setup 2wd, steep ground and under powered.
I agree with the comment about driving over the swarth, never liked it, anything could fall off and get picked up by the harvester,worst thing I ever picked up was a car tyre, some job to get that out!!!!!
Great to see this sort of machinery still working hard, I used to cut with a Taarup fine chop and Fiat 1300 super, 5000 drawing and an International on the pit,(West Cork) no video only stills, great times, last cut in 1983, all gone too big and expensive now, Tony
Sorry, I assumed it was a farmer doing his own work. The only ones you see using that kind of equipment now days are farmer cutting there own silage, and they are few and far between.
Its nice to see that kind of equipment working in 2007, but can't see many wanting to hire it.
Well, still alot to be said for the trailed harvester, grass coming in nice and slow gives alot of time for rolling the pit, key to good quality silage?
Nice to see a 2100 hard at work im from Co.Wexford and juring the 90's we had a 2100 on standby for our JF mower which was powered by a David Brown 1690 2wd back in the early days we used
David Brown 1200's and a Nuffield 6 cylinder with a lorry engine it was some tractor to pull it use to do 25MPH in second gear and always was doing wheels!
we now use all David Brown 6 cylinders and a case 2290 4wd on the harvester!
Yes, it's a 2100. 6 cyl (5.8L). This one is a bit different in that it is turbocharged as well. They weren't as standard but it was added by the dealer(Mahon McPhillips, Kilkenny, Ireland) all the way back in 1981 when it was originally purchased
Do you have a lot of reliability problems with it? We got a 4yr old 2100 back in 1984, were bowled over by it's power (relative to what we had before), but it went through 4 clutches in 2 yrs - something to do with the mounting of the engine I believe was an issue with 6 cylinder Leylands? Anyway it went for 4th time during silaging 1986, so we had to trade it in there & then for a Ford 6600. Less power, but fewer breakdowns.... Fond memories anyway, as 2100 was what I learned to drive in
Excellent video. Nice to see smaller silage outfits in operation. Makes a change from the usual high tech contractor stuff! By the way, what make is the harvester?
by ny chance r they the same leylands that r on another vid - good vid by the way
