Stump pulling with the Fordson Major Tractor Australia

[LegoOctan]

Just another Friday afternoon at the Crocodile Dundee homestead... cheers Mate!

[NytrixOctane]

what year is that tractor

[transdrole]

looks dry there. too dry to farm

[JasonHam41]

we pull out trees with out major by wrapping a rope round the base of the tree and just looping the other end round the link arms and liftin it straight up

[gdbrts]

Well the rear rims are solid cast iron to add weight. (was fun fitting a new tyre recently) but trust me that motor has enough grunt to easily lift the front wheels. It'll spin a rotary hoe no probs and it has been worked hard.

Its all in the gearing and it has a low/high range gearbox.

im surpised it could pull that out. the fordson major weighs to much for the size of motor it has

[keithmcgrath]

The Fordson Power and Super Major are too old now for that,get a JCB instead,use the Major for splitting blocks and and us it for light work

[RonaldsonTippet]

May it run forever GD!....have 2 old 28s, but would love a Major...

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

Cool,loadza tractor torque :>D

[brybish]

that tree had waited it's whole life for the moment it was pulled out by an old major.

such is life.

4 cyl. gotta love these old tractors, they never die

[bugsier5]

totally thru!

have a 4 cil major/ ebro, in a smal ferry here at Brielle the netherlands engine is 40 plus years old about 80000 hrs(!) running no trubles with it!(LOL)

[uscar17]

they're so gooood engines !!! My grand uncle's got a 54 (I believe) Fordson Major, he restaured it and it's like new, but it was already at the farm when my father was a child ! He also has a 72 Massey 165, did nothing on it and he's not very careful but never had troubles with it, and ALWAYS starts after less than 2 sec of cranking... it's amazing, I love this tractor, I'll restaure it one of these days...

[bugsier5]

keep them running and rolling!

[druidg]
