Thumbs up for Will for going through all the controls in this one! Very smart tractor! On an unrelated note if you have any questions for him then let me know as we’ll be doing a Christmas Q&A video in a couple of weeks! Happy weekend guys! 👍👍
That was really good, Will spent a good amount of time explaining it. I've never driven anything like that and most videos just wizz through it assuming you know something similar. Looks like a lovely tractor. Although I have a soft spot for Fords, my favourites to be with all day were Internationals and I guess these are the modern descendants of IH.
We have a Steyr CVT that we use for drilling, spraying, spreading and pulling a trailer. Best for this jobs, because your pto rpm stays the same all the time. Not to mention that now, after we got used to it, it has a good fuel usage when we pull the trailer.
Great tractor got a 160 second hand. Salesman advise to read operators manual must say good advice. And I started on a International 674 forty years ago. Great video.
Claas does have ball holders answer your question so does john deere fendt massey valtra deutz. I think it's standard on most tractors nowadays. Since getting a vario tractor we wouldn't go back in every situation we find it's better than the powershift counterparts and is so much nicer to drive as an operator but that's probably personal preference
You’ll be able to put a airline on most tractors I know with a case or nh if you drain air tank and take bottom fitting out all you need is a M22 to 3/8 adaptor and make a hydraulic pipe to where you want your coupling
Ex farmers son, in the late 70s worked at a MF dealership did see the early 500 series , but have built classic race cars for my working career , but seeing these tractors , I feel I’ve stayed in 1981 in tractor world , I’d be pleased if I could start it 🙄
Haha, they still make basic ones new too, my Maxxum is pretty basic just powershift gears and manual hydraulic spools. The deutz I drove in an earlier video was the same too. It's amazing to see the latest tech but it's also reassuring that you can get more basic spec if you like. The beauty with CASE is you can have a more basic spec in the cab and still have the luxury of good suspension and 50kph. Some other brands you have to have all the gizmos just to have nice suspension
Thanks Nick and Will , very informative I am like a few ex farm hands / farmers driving things like DB 880 , Ford 4000 MF165 so feel like I've stepped forward into another universe with the Case. However apart from the obvious power and comfort and maybe extra spools etc I don't think I need all the gizmos. It's a bit like all the controls on a car steering wheel which I seldom use. Enjoyed the vid though.
Glad you enjoyed it buddy, I'm not a fan of the overly complicated either, my Maxxum is just a powershift with manual spools but I find it interesting to see the high specs too 👍
Will Shemilt - Thanks for the reply Will much appreciated , no it was a brilliant idea of yours to go with the concept of the controls and workings and spec of a particular machine. I watch a lot of farming content on RU-vid and it's a bit enlightening to get an understanding of how to drive/ control the machine. Thanks again to you and Nick.
Nice video once again! Will is a real Case influencer 😅. About 50k.. a couple contracters in our area have gone back from 50 to 40k cuz of the dieseluse. The time they won with quicker driving the more than lost on diesel. Especially with a lot of breaking and getting back up to speed. I once heard, don't know if its really true, that it costs you just as much diesel to get from 40 to 50 as getting from 0-40.
🤣🤣 cheers dude, appreciate that 👊 Very very interesting what you say about the 50-40kph and fuel usage. I've got some stuff to weigh in about that but may be better explained in a video but you've really got me thinking
Smart bit of kit! Phoned sharmans a few weeks back for a mint 6930., 3000 ish hours. They wanted just shy of 50 k for it!!😳😳. Might have been your cousins old one?? World's gone mad!!
Two ways for an airline, fitting off the red line outlet with converter to pcl (or whatever airline you want to use) Or go male to female on the red line and t into it. So you can use the brakes at the same time. What's Hayley's job Nick? 😜
@@beardedcountryboy No problem Will. I carry two coils, one lives through the back window with a blow gun for the cab. The second is so I can join them together and blow off implements, blow tyres up etc without having to unhook. For £30 off eBay it's a no brainer 👍
@@beardedcountryboy very handy, blow a rake off etc, blow a tyre up, even just to get to the workshop, sharpen a hedge trimmer/cut wire in the field and a dust free cab!!! 😎
Electric spools are awesome when they are working and CVT is useful for jobs that require slow speeds also you are not relying on a gear, my in-laws autocommand is useful for his heavy duty mulching machine were even a creeper box isn't slow enough
@@zzirSnipzz1 yeah and hooking on too. Plus I loved how when carting it was full revs getting up to speed, but once it got there the revs and fuel usage dropped right down
Nick for someone who just gotten into farming and done a diploma in farming and agriculture you and will making that confusing can cvt and puma and Ferguson drive automatic all I am looking for it tractor can change automatic like automatic transmission car or pickup I am not having a go I want to learn
My Maxxum works like that. It has 24 gears and you can drive it manually and change gears when you like without using the clutch. But it's also got an automatic function where it changes through the gears automatically and you don't need to use the clutch at all (not even when stopping at junctions) when in automatic mode it works just like an automatic car or truck 👍 lots of tractors have this function even the more basic case luxxum that me and nick demoed this time last year
Very interesting video Nick, thank you. I have heard you rack about a 40k/50k tractor before. It seems to be related to speed, but what does it mean, please? I can’t imagine a tractor doing 5000 miles an hour, lol!
Thanks! We mean 40 or 50 kilometres per hour, so we’re referring to the speed in metric (👎😂😂). Tractors these days normally come with either 40k or 50k options, we’ve tended to go for the slower but 50k speed is quite popular 👍
@@beardedcountryboy this is the bit most advertisers and promoters and salespeople over look when selling a product then at least the buyer sees these areas thus maybe selling more they should do a top tractor like top gear
