FW Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Very interesting. What sort of money did that set you back then, as I've been 'um'ing and ar'ing' on chopping our Case 885 in for one for a while now, but have gone up a different route. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudding Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 its about 90hp ain't it they had a issue with the spliter they fixed on them here, seems they were a bit weak here they are a ok we machine 4.5 litre DPS motor, basic tractor, ......ya got use to the door locking latches yet ha ha!?.......don't yank em too hard, do you like your doors opening the other way........nice for getting in and out lots........ they sold a couple out of the yard here, all 456, i have only seen one 446, ......not a common tractor in our parts, most farmers here seem to want bigger tractors.......for loader work if its one of the last built.............it will be a great wee tractor, reliability issues sorted, good utlility...... good replacement to the 785 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescot Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have one, well a 456 your 446 will be around 94 HP......................it has the Claas FL 80 loader on it ..it`s ok it does what it says on the tin,I`ve never been so unexcited by a new machine ...... VERY light on the backend mind you,brown pants if you don`t use a block or load the wheels especially if you have slopes/ bankings etc. All that said, we`ve had a few issues with hydraulic pumps ,couple of leaky water hoses,PTO cable seizing up where it enters the back end of the tractor and an annoying clonk in one front wheel hub, it is a decent tractor.I`m used to it now , done almost 1200 hours since march 07.It can pull a bit, does all I ask of it when I ask it to do it so I can`t complain too much....I would have preferred a Fergie........but that`s just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
