Ford 5030 Tractor Tedding for Silage

Lovely old Ford (Farmer:- "It's not old!") seen while out in the motor. He stops and after he assures himself that I'm not from the Revenue he's happy for me to film some more. Not really old but very nice to see they're still with us and working hard. This one specially for Pat. who can see what it used to be like when Grandad was a little boy!

So did we, 40 years ago! But then they were multi-purpose - rake, turn, row-up etc,

@balmesh I watched this video because I am going to buy a 5030 in less than a month.

Is it a good tractor.(how many gears has it).

Sorry Michael, I can't tell you as I only saw this over the hedge. But if you put Ford 5030 in Google you'll find out loads of stuff.

That's what I thought till I was informed (misinformed?) otherwise. Think I'll go back to my first position and call it tedding, and the rest, rowing-up.

@balmesh thank you anyway

Hi williboy95

So did I, but our Irish friends seem to think it's ALL raking. So I'm confused, like you!
