BALING HAY AS THE DAVID BROWN TAKES OVER... 

I would disagree. The gutless 1210 I had ran on revs. A tractor with no Torque and only 3 main bearings. The engine did not even make 6,000 hours before it was stuffed doing most of the light work. The Hay Baler controlled it instead of the other way around. The Governor was forever working to keep the revs up in heavy hay baling. The older Fiat750 I had rated at the same horsepower would pull it around in circles and doing most of the heavy work was still going strong at 10,000 hours.

@@skippy5712 All I know is that we had a second-hand DB 880 that pulled a 500-gallon tank full of pig slurry through a wet, muddy gap into our fields without missing a beat - after we'd tried a new MF 135, same 45 horsepower as the 880, with the same load through the same gap, and the MF would just get stuck in the gap and stall. We then had a DB 990, 55 horsepower, that pulled and spread a 1,000-gallon tank full of pig slurry on its ease, where a Ford 5000 of supposedly 69 horsepower couldn't pull and spread the same load. The 880 and 990 were just in a league of their own, and I can't speak to the 1210 because we never had one.

@@skippy5712 See my reply as to the DB 880 and DB 990 above. Also, in future, before you post replies on RU-vid, check your facts. The David Brown 1210 and the Fiat 750 are NOT the same horsepower, as you claim. The DB 1210 is 61 horsepower, the Fiat 750 is 75 horsepower. That's a big difference in tractors of that size, and given that you've got that basic fact wrong in your reply, I suspect the rest of your post re the DB 1210 has to be taken with a rather large dose of salt.

Yes I have a 995 great tractor, you don't realise the pulling power they have until u drive there equivalent counterparts

​@@johnosullivan6439 a 1210 is 72hp mate

Aaron Lennon Corcoran it did.... part of the issue we had that I briefly spoke about..... more about thst in tonight’s/ tomorrow video

@@gerry6420 I was thinking that was it after u said there was a slight issue

Right there

Rubbish I've seen people fall off those before just very bruised but won't be dead lol

Bruised?Ahh sure u would be up on ur feet in two seconds

All good times and memories

I can only speak from experience and say that we had a David Brown 990 built in the late 60's and it was a magnificent tractor. It was able to pull a 1000-gallon Veenhuis slurry tank full of pig slurry and spread it through hilly fields no problem to it - and the great sound from the engine. Had an 880 as well that we tried with a Fleming 500-gallon tank through muddy gaps and soft, wet fields and it was no problem to it - this was after we'd tried a MF135 with the same hp as the 880 and it simply stalled in the gap. For their rated horsepower there was no other make of tractor to touch the David Brown - great tractors.

yes i agree they seem to be up the top i think all the 9 series were great , then again i will take any and i love the 1412. Cheers TW

@@tomwilliams8546 we had an 880 and it was terrific, the engine was never opened in it even after 40 years. A 63 i think with 3 cylinders, implematic.

Used to be made in my home town of Huddersfield. meltham Mills. gone now of course. I remember driving past the factory most days seeing them all lined up brand new outside.

@@matthomedrums7890 was huddersfield the only production plant in the UK? That is the home of David Brown yea..

Jim O'Sullivan that’s how I like it too. ...the way it should be.... you should hear the tractor or machine working. Only place for music over drone footage rather then listing to propellers. Thanks Jim 👍

No he’s not…. Ur obviously an amateur hay maker…. When Haybob is set up properly you can travel at this pace no issue. The problem 90% of the clowns using haybobs can’t set them up. 👍

@@gerry6420 fuck you, for your nasty comment,

Don't about that but in all my years of baling hay and straw I've never driven that fast when baling. Though the film was speeded up at first.

Not at all. JD hard to beat brad. 😉

@@gerry6420 maybe in other parts of the world but not Australia

Years ago dB's over here were a very popular and successful combination with a nh square balet

Square is usually for horses and round is for cattle

Have customers for both. It’s handy to take the headlands out in rounds and do straight runs with the square baler

Move the tines into the inner holes, move the wheels into the upper holes, lengthen the top-line.

Ireland

I think there's about 8

The 995 is 64 horsepower

Kyokunek Accumulator

Thank you:)

A bale accumulator. Packs 15 bales in an 8' x 8' square then tips up and places them on the ground. A tractor with a end loader and what is called a hay gab then picks up the bales and places them on a trailer or truck. It should not need that guy that was sitting there pulling the bales into it.

farming life no one cares

Had mine at back of an old DB 850 and it played with it.

I think the selectamatic was set wrong as its our scrapping tractor

Thats just cruel..

oliver69cork yes access is brutal on them. Big let down. We’re good tractor though apart from that

You mean the safety cab first ever role protection cabs q cabs are bad I have a vq cab mine is same but has wider doors

By today's standards yes but that cab was designed and offered a lot of years ago all tractors etc have come a long way since then

I loved it! A couple of pound notes and pie and chips we got paid. Sitting on a trailer of hay going back to the farm was just a bonus.
