    Starting your Field Marshall Diesel Tractor

    An interesting clip from Ingvar Vik:

    Starting the Field Marshall Tractor.

    No electric push button start on this Baby.

    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

    I just showed this video to our Grounds Supervisor here at the school and he has never seen anything like it before. He suggested that once started, it was likely left running all day (or more).
    Thanks for sharing this Bob. Fascinating.

      Many ship-engines I came across has a similar way of starting, you put a cigarettebut-looking thing in the head.
      The one taking the longest time to start was a V-10... & it's not in your everage hight either, climbing is involved.
      (We almost bought that ship 'cause it was so clean & well kept but the final price wasn't right but later on when we already bought the one we have now they called back... it was good we didn't thou, it would've been a pain in fuel-consumption since it had a turbine-drive, a bit like an automatic gearbox turbine, so the engine revs stays the same all the time & that can be expensive.)

        Maybe Craig (8E45E) might be able to confirm this, but I believe there is one of those in the Reynolds Farm Machinery Museum in Alberta. I know there is one of these:

        Aufnahmen vom Traktorentreffen im erzgebirgischen Burkhardtsdorf.Man sieht das anlassen zweier Lanz Bulldogs, nachdem sie mit dem Brenner vorgeheizt wurden.S...


        Both of them were available in Canada.

            Yes they do have one, and give demonstrations starting it in summer once in a while. I have personally never seen someone start it, but I know some have, including the owner of the '29 Dodge covered in snow in the other thread.
