Why do they not bulid it on 1 chassis if its axle steered?

the old 70, 90 & 94 series Case ( before they became Case IH & before they bought out Steiger ) were one solid chassis, with steerable axles
My first tractor I ever bought was an old Case 2670, which I still have, but it’s now only fit for the wreckers

There was a thread in the old place where someone had a harvest student sent out powerharrowing who came back and the trough was too hot to touch. Turns out he'd been dragging it around without the PTO engaged.

Have also seen fields power harrowed in 540 instaed of 1000 and mower conditioners ran in 540 instead of 1000 as that what the old one was….

because it’s basically the same tractor as the 9250 articulated version, they just put a block in the pivot & axles with bendy bits on the ends

Would u rather have the steering axles than the artic?

the artics were mainly for broad acre tillage work, with trailed equipment. Generally no linkage or PTO

the 4 wheel steer ones had linkage & PTO & were intended for row crop work. This one has outboard planetaries but a lot had bar axles to easily adjust wheel spacings. The 4 wheel steer has 3 modes - front steer, 4 wheel steer or crab steer.
The idea of front only steer is it gave more accurate & precise steering when planting with a linkage planter & marker arms ( God - remember them

) or when inter row cultivating.
Having PTO made them popular on big chaser bins & they don’t get the wiggle up that artics do
They were popular in the US for silage work, as they used to put front dozer blades or FEL on then, as well as towing silage carts
Apparently, on some of the really sloping country & hilsides they have in North America, they were more stable than artics on slopes

admittedly, a relatively small niche market, more expensive to build than artics & the advent of the high horsepower ( 300 hp or more ) FWA tractors probably killed them off.
However, Case still make a front steer row crop version of the STX, but they aren’t cheap . . .

Don't think so they're both 3 piece booms

yes, planter & chaser bin is about the only high horsepower tractor work I do on my farm

that’s why having linkage & PTO is important

tbh, I’ve been looking for an 8000 series JD for the last year or so, but any 8400 / 8420 that I’ve seen have had about a trillion hours on them & still more $$ than this, & any later 8000’s have just been out of my budget

if only I’d bought a new 8420 instead of the NHT8040 heap of sh!t I did back in 2009, it’d be a different story

You are right though about the less bendy parts, the atlas had a swivelboom. Never really liked that but it kinda comes standard with that class of machine.

colhonk · Jul 29, 2022

Phew,, does that mean I can go nah nah na nah na to Fendt561profi then? BUT NO, I am not that childish

colhonk · Jul 29, 2022

Would your new to you Liebherr have had twin wheels originaly and been replaced by the wide fat tyres? looks good anyway.

Gerbert · Jul 29, 2022

Likely yes, I think most come with duals from factory but alot get replaced with something like a 650/50r22.5. they are not ordinary tyres, they are excavator specific.

Yes. In my opinion probably the best model theve ever made. We have one already, this one is 6mths older but only done 2600 hours. Any metal work thats removable has been shot blasted and resprayed. Its had the laptop plugged in as well to give it a bit more puff, doesnt see a hill now.
