I remember one season back in either’81 or ‘82 dad rented a 2870 for spring seeding. On our farm the biggest tractor was a JD 5010 so that Case 2870 was just incredible, crazy power too, pulled a 24’ deep tiller like it was nothing. Good luck with seeding this year, must be the extra carbon tax we’re all paying causing the cool wet weather 🙄
Yeah I don’t imagine 24ft of deep till would be a load for it, I could see 35ft deep till being a better match. It’s been pretty cool and wet the last little while for sure
I agree . I ran a 2470 and own a 1070 still.. they are slow bandits in the dirt. Pulling monsters though. The powershift can be jumpy.. everything is hydro . Sucks sometimes. I fought with them. You get pressures right and they shift smooth . I got 6000 hrs on our 1971 1070. It's a dream to operate
Good looking and running old case. Im located in southwestern ontario and we have been having lots of rain delays also getring the crops in. I have a good friend farming by kamsask and they are dealing with rain delays also.
would you please send type of light bar your using and where i might look at one. like to have for my tractor for fertilizing, thank you, great tractor and video!
I remember when the 2870 came out. Dad was working for Case in North battleford at the time and they unveiled/demoed it at Kindersley. I cannot remember the width of the cultivator they were pulling with it but it was huge. That tractor pulled it around and they could not lug it enough to make it smoke. I still have a 2870 belt buckle from that day.
Great video and nice tractor! I was checking out some of your other videos and seen we upgraded from the same drill to the same one you got now haha, we had a 40 foot 5700 and 3225 tank and upgraded to a 47 foot 5710 with a 5350 tank, should be a nice upgrade! Hope everything continues to go well for you!
Great Video, When I was a boy, (i'm 67 tomorrow) I had booklets with this tractors predecessors in them model numbers I remember are 1470, thanks for sharing
The ol case looks good! I miss the 2670 we had.. i like the steering handle, newer ones were electronic. Just one more thing to not work then.. Freaking dealers being lazy and not doing what they are being paid to do!!! Hopefully you can get everything working and everything planted!!
Thanks! That’s why I bought a 2870 instead of 4890/4894- the electric over hydraulic steering issues that plague them. I started seeding yesterday afternoon finally!
@@NorthEastSaskFarmer I loved the crab steer for seeding in the hills, just swing the back up or down the hill to keep on the same lines. Hopefully the meetering on the drill is working properly now!
