Tractors in different languages

Anonymous-0 · Oct 3, 2013

I thought it would be neat for the people in Ireland,Scotland, Wales or elsewhere to name tractors in the native language as they are in the English language.
Such as John Deere, what would it be in Gaelic?
Also the other makes.
You all could have a little contest to see who the first person to name them from lets say gaelic to english.
What do you all say aboot that?

All I know is we call the Fergusons' tha Wee grey Fargie'
John Deeres are 'main grain mashines'
International Harvestors are 'thon Nasty Nashers'
David Browns are 'Davy Broons'
Fords are 'Tha sh!t bloo thangs"
Massey Fergusons are 'Messy Fergies'
New Hollands are'Tham nu sh1t bloo thangs"
Nuffields were for some unknown reason called 'nutfeels"
Sorry if this offends anyone but 'it tha waa wey spake!'

Don't feel bad, Harvey, I was born here, been here all my life, and I still have trouble with the "English" language!

See you have sorta accepted me downstairs? LOL
In Co Armagh and North Down we have a bit of a brogue, a sorta soft accent but the rest of Northern Ireland has a definate Scots twist to our language.....Called Ulster Scots( tha lankwich O' tha Olster Scots) and recognised as a language, but it is mostly slang and bad grammer! Better keep quiet about it upstairs!
Aim sari we'en nair used tham Allovers, justincase nar cawkshoot mashines o'er he'air!
We call a laneway a 'loanin' and opposite is 'fore'nenst'.. an amount of anything is a 'wheen'
I could go on but I would risk being misunderstood and expelled!
fair'n ye bye fer naw!......Sam

Glad no one figured out my translations. But owning both Ford and JD I can say that.

You like your Ford, I understand that much.
Funny thing with languages. The Italian company Laverda (which are now producing the European Massey Ferguson combines) would in Danish mean something like "don't do it then" or "let it be then". I don't think it kept any Danish farmers from buying their combines though.
