Cropmaster Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 I like modern tractors' curvy styling. I would not like to see the return of the square straight line styling that was popular during the late sixties and seventies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I have a really soft spot for the IH B250/B275, later on the MH135/165 the TripleD has a really mean "functional" look about it though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I dunno so much but having driven a case ih 1394 wich is basicaly the same but had a face lift well i will agree with you I have yet to see a rare CASEIH 1294 aparently meltham let one go through :'( marcuss might know more about that i have seen a 1294 CASE-IH , the chap had it from new , but i recon it was one of the last off the line,as the heat from the engine had started to make the black paint peel to reveal orange underneath, it was near Shaftsbury. It has black & silver 1294 decals but the plate does say CASE 1294. It is a 4wd model & has a low option version roof & was fitted with a loader, last time i drove past there was a JD 6210 in the yard , so it may have been moved on The small holding was owned by a Lord & Lady James & every time i delivered feed there i was given a cup of tea,chocolate biscuits & a bottle of wine for mixing a bag of minerals into the feed before blowing it into the feed bin :) that was a twice a month feed order & at xmas time i was given a bottle of wine & a joint of organic beef from their own herd :) :) Thats the advantage of having a 6 wheeler & extra pipes as the 8 wheeler couldn't get in & if they could they didn't carry enough pipe to reach the bin ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 i spect that would be because of the sound they make sean , the david brown engines sounded smooth with a lovely hollow bark very distinct noise , unlike the ford engines that sounded very coarse in comparison.
