se next issue for result but on another forum the secret is out it appears one of the tractors had been boosted by 20 hp don't se why the winner is being so smug
That's a bit like comparing a 850 mini with a 1275GT not really a fair test
I would have put my money on the 1594 the hydrashift gearbox would have been a great advantage don't think the test should have gone ahead I am a db fan having owend 780 880 885 990 1212 1490 in my opinion the test means nothing now
DB's always overpowered their tractors compared to the stated HP of the model,
But 20 HP that is a lot
It may appear a lot but the hydra shift was very efficient against other power shifts of the time
My case 2670 lost 70hp through the gearbox!
No the DB gearbox noise was deliberate,
It was to tell the boss that you were working
cant imagine why..this will cause a bit of an earthquake on DBTC if it gets mentioned, they dont like me on there for some reason
Always told them that this 1594 was something special!
cant imagine why..
cant imagine why..
slight disagreement with the hierarchy, they sold me some shite decals and i named and shamed them, thats about the top and bottom of it
threatened to take me to court for it, told them to get stuffed. You sell decals for a tractor marketed "as original" withing a year all the colouring had washed off them. A 3 year old could have made a better job with a permenant marker.
your a bit wrong there if a 1055 used to manage a 4m think a 956 would manage a 3m and it wasn't on fen land,being looking for picks but carn't find themit just served to quieten down a select few IH fans who were adamant that the 956 was better, that was my aim at the end of the day
i knew way before the test what was going to happen, there no way on this earth a 956 would push a 3m flexicoil/2 rows of spring tines, and drag a 3m piggyback drill combination behind it, especially on our land.
Finding 2 completely untouched, original down to the last nut and bolt tractors, both what are now 25 years old, would be an impossible task anyway
The hp advantage i had was balanced out by the fact im on bigger wheels, 18/38s as oppesed to the IH's 16/38s. So any hp advantage would be balanced out by loss of torque through the rear wheels surely?
Should have done a reliablity test. 24hr shake down on a power harrow
