Oldest machine on farm, dead or alive.

As said above, mine is 35x, new in 1963. So nearly 60 years old. And had a km22 from the 80s, it went in the scrap last year.

We’ve a Massey 65 and a 165 multi power both owned since new. I can’t remember the exact years but the 65 is well over 60 years old.
Also another 165 owned since new.

Our old but still functioning Hydraulic Ram. First installed on the farm in 1908 and still running today. Original ram pump has now been replaced by a newer Blakes Hydram but old one still in place. Original cylinder head still functioning but very rusty now. Original windmill possibly predates the hydraulic ram so probably 19th Century.
