Paul Palmer Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 18 hours ago, 844john said: The 845 is different to the 885 Paul in that it is similar to the 56series tractors, the gear levers are on the other side of the cab, which I suppose isn't maybe that noticeable, but the tractor wheelbase is longer and also the front grill is very different, the European ones have their lights at the bottom of the grill where's the Doncaster models have them in the middle of the lower grill, and on the 4wd versions the lower grill is much smaller with a different front tombstone to the euro models. Sorry to sound like a tractor bore Paul, but I think Hytran still flows through my veins! im glad of the info John,thankyou,i have allways fancied a ih xl model but no bigger than the 885,so out of all what replicagri do they don't do a ih xl uk version then?

It's a bit yes and no Paul, in that they don't do a Doncaster designed model, such as the 85 series, but the 856XL and 844XL were both sold here and size wise are very similar to the 885, at 85 and 80hp respectively. Our 844 that we still run here is one of the last ones built where production was transferred to Doncaster. My Father also has an 844, but a couple of years older and built in Germany, and the build quality of the German machine is just that bit better to be honest.

All XL cabs were built in the International factory in Croix in France and then shipped to Doncaster to be added to the British built tractors. The cab structure is the same, the only difference was on the bigger 56 and 55 series tractors from the 956 upwards where there is more room inside the cab between the mudguards. These European tractors all had their gear levers on the right hand side, whereas the British ones had them on the left. British tractors also had narrower plastic fenders, where's the Europeans in the main had wider metal mudguards, often with plastic extensions like the one in your picture. These tractors were imported and were not altered cosmetically for the British market, so a UK spec tractor such as that 844 would look virtually identical to a one sold on the continent, the only real difference being the fitment of a pick up hitch for over here. Sorry for the long winded answer Paul, and yes, our tractor is the one in my picture in CaseIH colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they mainly started coming in with the Case takeover in the mid eighties up until about '94 when they stopped making them, in the latter years production was transferred to Doncaster ( ours is a '93 model). You still see a few around in the Case livery but I can't remember the last time I saw one in the original International colours, the 856 seemed to be more common then which was very similar to the 844 but with a smaller displacement engine but turbo'd to 85hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I’ve always thought they have been pretty sleepy on this one, manufacturers are often accused of “milking” moulds, but there are a few, and this is a classic example where they have been really slack.

SPN Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Excellent. This will replace the 8360, and be replaced by the T6090, in the Milltown story, instead of the Britains TS135A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I always look forward to seeing what the show model is each year and i’m not disappointed with this one.The Renault’s were nice models but four years in a row was a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
