CASE 1030 & 1370 Tractors Working on Fall Tillage 

I'm lovin' it....OLD SCHOOL..!!!! No touch screens, no comfort cabs, no A/C.....

I know you do a lot of it anyway, but these vintage working tractors are what I come here for. Sure it's cool to see the new stuff once in a while and I realize it's a big part of the channel, but these older tractors are what many of us can afford, keep running without help, and what we all use around here as they still get the job job and sometimes turn up in good working condition for as little as $5,000 or even less, that's cheap HP and keeping us out of debt in the longer run as often as anything else. I'll never complain at seeing 60's-90's machines doing their thing. Not Plow day show queens queens or whatnot, but tractors still making their living doing what they were meant to do, and without all the BS that comes with a newer $250,000+ tractor. I had when the old stuff degenerates in to restos (paint jobs, and new seats) and hiding away in a barn (preservation). Or the biggest sin of them all, mangling one all up to have a "pulling tractor" for the county fair every year. Just sell the tractor and buy a newer common tractor for you to butcher and waste. Some us still need these old girls to get by on small acreage operations. I'm often dealing with 10-30 acre fields and maybe never buy a tractor built after the 1980's

Love old iron!!! I love the old Case color. We had a 730 Comfort King in the day. I still to this day think Case has one of the most beautiful Emblems in the Eagle!!!! Thanks for the AWESOME video.

Still have our 1030. My Dad bought it in the spring of 1967 when he was 17 years old and it was our ground breaker tractor till the late 70s. He also pulled it in farm stock classes around this area through most of the early 70s. Love that ole gal.

Everyday I miss our 1030s that got sold last fall on our farm auction

Jason, I grew up on a small farm in central KY and we had Case tractors. The largest one was a 1969 Case 530, but we had a 1970 Case 470, a 1958 Case 300, and an older Case SC. All of them were very good tractors and the 530 and 470 were diesel and very fuel efficient. Happy memories, thanks for showing the older Case family.

Now remember as you ride along in your cab with heated/cooled seat, air, gps, and iPad that these tractors were called “comfort kings”

Around 1970 my dad and uncle bought a 1965 Case 930. It was on LP and had a hand clutch. It turned out to be a good tractor for what we needed at the time. We pulled a 4-16" bottom plow with it. Good tractor.

I remember when those two were big fancy tractors.

My dad had a 930 and uncle had a 970 when I was younger!!! Always loved watching those desert sunset tractors work.

Awesome video. Been a long time since I seen a 1030 working. Grew up with one. Wheatland, factory cab, 18.4x38's and 11x16 fronts, all fluid filled, giant weights inside the rear wheels and the factory on front. Pulled WAY over it's class. 1030 was rated at 100hp at 1600 rpm(540 pto) but was a good ways past that at full throttle up closer to 2100 rpm. We ran ours from the mid 70's through the late 90's when the dairy farm went to auction. 6000 hours+ and i think all we had to do was rebuild the power steering pump(no doubt because of the fluid filled 11x16's) Changed the oil/filter in the spring(LOTS of oil, i think it was over 3 gallons) topped off the water in the batteries and put it to work on the plow, 20 foot spring tooth, and then later all summer on the forage chopper(Fox) into the fall with the corn. Then parked it in the corner of the yard for the winter. Too cold blooded, and honestly way to brutish for a chore tractor in the winter. The engine was a work of art, the 930 built a reputation and changing the pistons to aluminum made it more responsive for the 1030. That tractor can LUG, full throttle all the way down to about 500 RPM, black smoke, it will chug and recover. We farmed red clay hills on a few fields, it got a work out on the plow. I have no doubt it could pull the disc that 1370 had on it on the flat there without issue. Inside, they were actually very comfy, the seat was amazing, flat floor for your feet to go where you want, you sat up high to see everything easy, nice size steering wheel with good power steering, 3pt. and remote levers were so easy to find after a little bit you didn;t look for them you just moved your hand to them and they were there. i will say the headlights/rear light were about as good as 1930's era though lol. I put a lot of hours in that tractor growing up and I loved every minute and miss it dearly. And I get a chuckle at the 147 rating on the 1370. There were a bunch of those up here in WI back in the day. Nobody left the turbo and fuel stock. They got cranked until it was pointless because you couldn't get any more traction to hold it.

Both are cabless & have the best colors Case has ever had

I so enjoy seeing this older iron, especially with no cabs. Makes me again appreciate what we farmers have now but what farmers back in the day endured to feed people. Really cool reminder Jason. GO BTP!!💪💪

I farm with a 1370! I worked for a farmer who had a 930, great tractors

Our family farm has a 1070 cab and a white 1370 cab. I remember riding inside the cab while tilling and cultivating crops and my head hitting the rear glass or cab corner. I love the sound of the engines with the powershift transmissions.

So cool that you found some to video, I have a 1963 case 730 and a 1967 case 930 ck. The 930 is just a big ol brute and she's be turned up to what a 1030 pushes out factory and we increased the rpms to probably about 2000 rpms

Back then there were a lot more tractors out there. Six-digit production numbers on a model are crazy from today's perspective, seeing how many tractors' jobs a current machine does in the same day.

I've run a disk with both of those models for a neighbor in central Illinois. Both of theirs had cabs, the 1030 cab was an aftermarket with canvas sides. My Dad ran mostly Massey of that vintage, although he was running 2090 and 2390 Case tractors when he retired and he still has 530 gas with a loader.

Thank You for Finally Showing Some CASE Tractors My Uncle had a 830,. 970 With Rear Duels 1370 With Rear Duels and a 2470 4X4 All Duel Tires Tractors l Loved The 2470 4X4 All Duel Tires it Felt Like a Monster in the Fields it was just Amazing Awesome When in the Fields

BTP you’re my HERO! I’ve been waiting a long time to see a Case ‘30 series tractor on your channel. I grew up the smaller ‘30 series which my grandpa and dad sold around 1980. I miss the distinct sound of those Diesels. Keep ‘em coming! 😁

Nice to see old equipment still used

These Case Agri-King tractors are some of the best looking farm tractors ever made. Lots of eye appeal. Great video as always!!

I use to work with a agi-king. We used it for harrowing our hay field's. Awesome tractors. Ours had the cab on it.thank you for showing this video

AWESOME!!! We had a 78 model 1270 Agri King. Love the sound of those 504 and 451 turbo engines in those Agri King models. Them wide hood models the 12-1570 I always thought were a brute of a machine. Ours had a cab and we had neighbors that had an open station 1370. Both are gone but I wish that at least the 1270 was back.

He's making good time on that 1030. My late Grandpa would call that " Big Farmin' boy".

Now those are tractors. Both beautiful examples of what Case had available in the late 60's and early 70's. The 1370 just like that one is a dream of mine to own someday.

I have owned a 1969 1030 for 33 years. we worked pretty hard never had much trouble with it. I put a loader on it a few years ago. also we had 2 930 standards, 2 1070s.and a 2290.

I ran a 1030.and a 1370 both owned by my grandpa. They were great tractors

This was an unexpected and welcome surprise for sure. I have a soft spot for them

Those classic case tractors can do a great job of turning over the dirt😀

Love to see that 1030 working. I have always wanted one . I'm surprised to see that they are not plowing that stubble.

Chulada de maquina !

My grandfathers had Case tractors on their farms. Lugging ability and fuel consumption were the two reasons they liked the Case tractors. I'm sure pricing was also a factor but they didn't mention that as a reason for purchasing them. They both liked the simplicity and ease of working on them. My father owned an 830 Wheatland and a 930 row crop. Both ran on LPG and the oil got changed because my dad needed something for the hired man to do on rainy days....not because it would get dirty. The brakes (or as I should maybe mention the lack of them) was the downfall of the 930. We used a mounted NH3 applicator pulling a nurse tank and getting that thing to turn at the headlands was a job for 2 men and a boy! My dad bought a 4020 JD and the difference was night and day. Granted the 4020 had 10 more HP but the brakes and the easier shifting Syncro Range transmission was all it took to retire the 930. I remember plowing wheat stubble or discing milo stalks with the 930 as a teenager growing up on our central Kansas farm. At night the muffler would glow orange and the exhaust would have a blue cone emitting from the muffler. After plowing all day in 100F temps the engine would come alive when the evening and night time temps would drop into the 80's.

Love these old gals. Case were awesome tractors in every way. I remember if you wanted to buy a backhoe tractor Case was the toughest you could buy they were everywhere. I enjoy see these old classic working still earning their keep. I can't afford the new tractors. I run some fairly older tractors myself; a 1990 Massey Ferguson 3070 92hp cab 2wd, ; a1989 IMT 539 39hp open station 2wd ; 2004 John Deere 5320 64hp cab 2wd. I do customer Bushhogging and hay . Great video . I really enjoy the information you give for each tractor.

Thanks for the video ji case tractor's

Thank you sir

Great Video . Love the Case Tractors.

Really like the styling of the Case 1030 Comfort King. Much better looking than the more squared off design of the successor Agri King tractor range.

Those tractors are beasts.

Seems like in so many videos the operators are intent on operating at +8 MPH for field work. Not sure what the hurry is.

Our neighbors always had case equipment..A 1030, an 830 narrow front, & a Spirit of '76 1570 for many years and started out with a Case combine( before switching to a Claas & a Gleaner)

Great to see the old iron still going strong👍😁

i remember my dads first diesel the 930 Comfort King. It was in heavy bottom ground , discing with a 14' tandem. when he caught low gear that black smoke shot up 40' and it pulled thru fine. I was a kid but I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Worked on a dairy farm from ‘98-‘08 and we had a 1370. Best tractor to plow with. Also had a 970.

My family has always ran case grandpa retired from farming in the 90s with a 830 comfort king and 930 comfort king as well a 1194 Today me and dads op Operation runs a 1175 case Agre king we also have a 2290 a John Deere 5410 a 400 case and then we have a case DC pulling tractor

First big tractor I ever had a ride in when I was kid was a 1370

My uncle in Hopkinsville had a case 430 great little tractor.

These partnerships you’ve made with other farm photographers have really enhanced the channel jay. Not to take anything away from you, but it’s brought a wide assortment of machines that we probably wouldn’t have gotten to see in their natural habitat

Very clean tractors!

Thanks for sharing, amongst our fleet we had a Case 430 tractor on our farm in daily use for over 40 years. These were extraordinarily solid and reliable tractors and were repairable by ordinary human beings that did not have a computer science degree. How many new tractors sold today are likely to be still running in 40 or 50 years time...? I admire your videos and like hearing the history of these tractors. If I may, I”d like to encourage you to share more in depth history on these tractors, perhaps highlighting some of the innovations introduced with some models. The Case 430 we had for example had a hand clutch that allowed the tractor to stop while keeping the PTO running, which was a novel feature for its time. We also had a belt drive attachment for the 430, which was probably one of the last tractors to offer this option.

Brings back memories I was broke in on a 1030 case tractor that’s what’s wrong with my hearing today.

Thanks for sharing. Good information as always about the tractors featured. To hear the price of those tractors when they were "new" I'm sure had some "Sticker Shock" factor to them back then but, the price on the "new" tractors today really has some "Sticker Shock" to them.

I drove one for a friend of mine for a few days. It was anything but comfortable,

Members of my family have owned two 830 (one gas, one diesel), 1030, 1170, 1370 and 2390 J.I.Case tractors. The gas 830, 1030 and 1170 are gone. The 830, 1370 and 2390 are still in use.

Now that 1370🚜would make a good front end loader tractor to

In the very early 1970's our tillage team almost matched that pair (1370 and a 930). We were fortunate enough to have moved up to having cabs on our tractors by that point, but it's nice to see this pair still working. The 930 and 1030 all had a hi/lo range with a 4 speed plus reverse combination for 8 forward and 2 reverse set up. By the mid '70s, the 930 was no longer considered sufficient for much more than augur duty and we added an IH 1468 and soon after, more serious horsepower. But, those two 140 or so hp tractors were sufficient for pulling (rather quickly) a 6 furrow IH vari-width plow, a 25 ft disk and a 32 foot cultivator. Hard to imagine then that today they would be considered insufficient to do much. Lol.

Best tractor ever made.

I always thought the the new Agri King tractor's built in the 70s were the best looking of all by far. Built like a tank and still squeezed that fuel while the lugging ability was huge !!!👍👍👍

Something tells me we are going to see some more old iron form this farm in the future. 👍👍

Those tractors are awesome looking, if I ever win the lottery I will buy one of those, but I never buy tickets so I guess I'll just keep on watching these great videos. Thanks for sharing 👍

These colors, flambeau red, I believe, were the best!

I currently run a 1968 case 930 with aftermarket 3 point hitch. Especially the same tractor as the 1030 but they had different cylinder sleeves. Same engine block. Plus the 930 has cast iron pistons making it a unique sound while the 1030 has aluminum pistons.

Great video love those tractors

I sold 1030s back on the day....

Nice looking Case tractors, the disc are cutting good. I ate a lot of dirt back in the day discing. Around here Case was known to have the best backhoe tractors. Sure would like to have one of old gals. Nice video

I started driving a SC. Could not reach the brakes but didn't need to as it had a hand clutch with a brake pad on the belt pulley. Dad also had a 311, 401, and a 411. Love driving the 311 not pulling anything as it had over sized tires and could reach 30mph if the roads were not too bumpy.

Nice 😊👍👍

Nice to see the old girls working

I used a Case 830 I think. Had a baler. The owner bought both as a pair. Put up a lot of bales in 4 years. Good memories.

No computers , No auto steer , No DEF fluids and No cabs but still got it done ! Come on Jadon no ride along WHY ? Good to see the old iron working !

Good ole case love them old tractors did ya ever count all them eagles on them old cases

I own three comford king 730, 830 and 1030 . And still farm with them today.

Not a big Case fan, but I like to hear them run; one of my neighbors still has a couple of old Cases and I enjoy hearing them come up the road -

We run a 1170 and a 1070 case tractors

Great to see more of these. "Comfort King" was a relative term, if you spent hours on end out on the prairie without a cab, I bet 🙂

Get er done

We had a 930,, 800 ,,630 all great tractor,s never had any trouble we plowed with the 930 pulled 5\18 and just as deep as they would go pulled 12 foot disk with the 800 along with a spring tooth and a packer we worked around 700 acres they did a fine job

We had a 970, 1070 and 2470 and grew up in Central, IL. Curious as to where this was filmed at.

Have a 1977 1070, was grandpas first tractor... I inherited it as my first tractor when he was killed in a grain bin accident... also had a 2290 and a 2394 that was bought new on the fire sale after the merger..... looking to buy a 2390/2590 for my first planting tractor.... still have the 1070 and a series 1 800 versatile

Looks like some new tires. Make all the difference in the world.

Always liked those desert sand painted 1030s, Didn't have much of a Case dealer around here so never saw much Case till the IHC merger. I remember going to the local IHC dealer's open house after that, 1985. They were displaying a new red 2594. I guess they sold a few before the new series came out. I tried to buy a new old stock 5288, but the deal fell through. Some years later I did buy a red 2594, I still have it, one heck of a horse. To think that it uses the same basic 504 motor, but cranks over 200 hp! Only thing that bothers, I have to do the repairs myself, as there's no real Case techs around here. The IHC dealers here can't fix them, hell they can't do a decent repair on the old red line!

the 1030 doesnt make the traditional squalling sound from the fan belts when he cracks the throttle open

Could you make a video on a farmall H?🤔

They was out there showing off!! Lollol love it! They was Moving pretty fast out there disking! Reminds me of the days I started out on my neighbor's Ford 2000 with a Kings disk! He had some type of older case ih tractor too but dont remember what model it was! It was better than that ford tho cuz it had power steering! Lollol! Then moved up to a John Deere 2940 with a JD 210 disk!

My neighbour has quite the collection of rigid body 4wd Case and cross mount case

I got 730 870 thay are good old tractors

Great video and lovely tractors although I always thought the 1030 looks strange because the steering wheel looks so high, could it be adjusted?

We still run a case 711b on our balewagon. Also a case 1070 to cut and disc with and me and my brother both have a pair of case 2670s that we plow disc and ripp with.

Nice tractors… In my opinion I think it’s best if you pull the disc as deep as the tractor can pull it if not it’s just wasting fuel But that’s my opinion great video thanks for sharing

Was the video sped up or was that 1030 running a little too fast?

J.I. Case use to have a cast iron Eagle on a Globe statute for advertising at dealers.

Casepower

still have a 930 and it is in running order use it to do my wildlife acres every year but am looking to quit

An the old Case engines with that long stroke an around 1950 RPMs on the top end we’re pretty fuel efficient. LoL the brakes left a little to be desired

I have a case 870 only tractor i ever bought new still use it. She has her third paint job the original paint wasn't very good.

not sure where the old 1030 gets 6 reverse gears?????? she only had a 4 spd with high and low

How many horse power is this tractor

the 1030 and 930 were only 2 reverse gears

Lot of people would not Farm today without the cabs heat, air & GPS.

I don't understand how they are doing this without GPS ??😏
