    The unmistakable sound of a David Brown engine. What a terrific tractor they were in their day - for sheer pulling power there was no other make of tractor to touch them. Thanks for posting

      I would disagree. The gutless 1210 I had ran on revs. A tractor with no Torque and only 3 main bearings. The engine did not even make 6,000 hours before it was stuffed doing most of the light work. The Hay Baler controlled it instead of the other way around.
      The Governor was forever working to keep the revs up in heavy hay baling.
      The older Fiat750 I had rated at the same horsepower would pull it around in circles and doing most of the heavy work was still going strong at 10,000 hours.

      @@skippy5712 All I know is that we had a second-hand DB 880 that pulled a 500-gallon tank full of pig slurry through a wet, muddy gap into our fields without missing a beat - after we'd tried a new MF 135, same 45 horsepower as the 880, with the same load through the same gap, and the MF would just get stuck in the gap and stall.
      We then had a DB 990, 55 horsepower, that pulled and spread a 1,000-gallon tank full of pig slurry on its ease, where a Ford 5000 of supposedly 69 horsepower couldn't pull and spread the same load.
      The 880 and 990 were just in a league of their own, and I can't speak to the 1210 because we never had one.

      @@skippy5712 See my reply as to the DB 880 and DB 990 above. Also, in future, before you post replies on CZcams, check your facts.
      The David Brown 1210 and the Fiat 750 are NOT the same horsepower, as you claim. The DB 1210 is 61 horsepower, the Fiat 750 is 75 horsepower. That's a big difference in tractors of that size, and given that you've got that basic fact wrong in your reply, I suspect the rest of your post re the DB 1210 has to be taken with a rather large dose of salt.

      @johnosullivan6439 Před 5 lety +3

      I can only speak from experience and say that we had a David Brown 990 built in the late 60's and it was a magnificent tractor. It was able to pull a 1000-gallon Veenhuis slurry tank full of pig slurry and spread it through hilly fields no problem to it - and the great sound from the engine. Had an 880 as well that we tried with a Fleming 500-gallon tank through muddy gaps and soft, wet fields and it was no problem to it - this was after we'd tried a MF135 with the same hp as the 880 and it simply stalled in the gap. For their rated horsepower there was no other make of tractor to touch the David Brown - great tractors.

      A bale accumulator. Packs 15 bales in an 8' x 8' square then tips up and places them on the ground. A tractor with a end loader and what is called a hay gab then picks up the bales and places them on a trailer or truck.
      It should not need that guy that was sitting there pulling the bales into it.
