SPN Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nice video, but hope the gang on the move was posed just for this: The macho thing of having the forager lead is so stupid.....if someone coming round the corner prangs into the header the whole team is F****D... a tractor as lead will slow the oncoming traffic and be far less vulnerable and far more easily replaced if damaged. The vehicle the camera was mounted on may have been the sweeper, or there may have been a tractor in front of it doing sweeper. But you do make a good point, and it's one I'd never considered.

rorsday Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Got a question about the new Britains two-wheel drive version of the Case-IH 1056XL.....and the two-wheel drive IH 1056XL. Did Case-IH ever make a two-wheel drive version of the 1056XL? I've never, ever seen one in the UK, but it may have been offered on the continent. Not sure?

Niels Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I think they even sold 2wd 1255's? Not sure about the 1455 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have seen the latest trailer in yellow at £ 14.99 at a local store and well I told the proprietor it looked shocking...to which he agreed....but well it's a Britain's and I already have included it in an order so once I have said I would buy I won't back out on a deal ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Day I was going to question that too Rory, I would think they do exist on the continent as you say and only in very few numbers in UK as Andy measured one up over here. I have only ever seen two. As a unique machine they will be a special model, not a run of your more popular machines. Is it mentioned in Case IH literature? I recall it isn't and possibly a special order?

ploughmaster Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) i know andy meassured up a real one for the ftf tractor so they are out there The one Andy measured up (and put a photo of on the FTF Internationals thread) with registration number BEW 361Y was registered when new in the UK on 29th October 1982, so not a later import Edited January 28, 2012 by ploughmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 OK, thanks for that....I'd never seen a two-wheel drive IH 1056XL in this country that's all, but it sounds like they definitely exist. As for the Case-IH version I am fairly sure that two-wheel drive versions were never offered in the UK, but the picture confirms that they were available in Europe post-merger.

Andy Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I knew the IH 1056XL 2WD wasn't as common as the 956XL so in effect it makes for a convenient limited edition model. Steve Smith who helped me in sourcing the tractor may be able to shed more light on the history/background of this tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I forgot to say, that I assumed Britains would bring out the Case IH 956XL 2WD! That was the plan anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Case-IH version I am fairly sure that two-wheel drive versions were never offered in the UK, but the picture confirms that they were available in Europe post-merger. R Day The picture certainly confirms a Case International version with the earlier, square front end existed, but after much searching, I have been unable to find a pic of a 2wd Case International 1056XL with the later style front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorman314 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I didnt realise from the 2012 catalogue ,as the picture is not very clear ,that the John Deere s690i combine is fitted with tracks; tractorman314. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrol Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hopefully they will also adjust the size of the cab step gantry as it looks like it was made for the dual front wheel version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 No doubt a New Holland will follow with the track units at some stage then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hopefully they will also adjust the size of the cab step gantry as it looks like it was made for the dual front wheel version. As it is a prototype, I would think the actual combine body is the same one as the US version on dual wheels we have seen pictures of elsewhere. If you look, you will see that the extension is a seperate part, so I would expect that they will fit the steps without it on the production version (as they have fitted a narrower access platform to the Case-IH 9120 Milestone edition on tracks that has been produced for Case-IH. The US Prestige edition on tracks had retained the old wider platform that was used for the earlier dual wheeled combine.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Big improvement with the Fords. I'd have preferred it though if the wheels used the same material as their Britains counterparts 30/40 years ago, the plastic looks cheap (probably last longer though!)

mr softie Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 excellent additions from britains / tomy and a vast improvement throughout the range , lets hope they keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Really really like those two Fords. Are there wheel wieghts moulded into the rear wheel moulding or is it just the way yhey look? Anyway, I can't wait to get the pair of them and possible any variations that may come along via you custom builders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 it seems the Britains brand is getting a new life where models will be atleast or even better then the much loved 70's and 80's era models they made. of all the Ford's being released at the moment, these 2 i am the most excited about, drove a 6600 like that for a contractor a decade and a half ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksp Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Looks good, espacially the Fords though im not a blue fan. A bit let down is the headlights on the JD 9460 is a sticker and not like SIKU's. But i will buy it anyway ) Edited February 2, 2012 by ksp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
