Yes exactly. You said it would need a mechanics van following it about
They all do at some stage.

If you do a proper job they require a lowloader not a mechanics vanThey all do at some stage.

12,000 hours of the most reliable tractoring we’ve ever done
What does the Jaf patch button do ?
I've no ideaWhat does the Jaf patch button do ?
It’s actually made in Italy. It was one of the very first made there I’m led to believe you can tell by 2 hooks on the back of the cab where they lifted them differently to Doncaster it also has a grey chassis and axles but I think that started at Doncaste. When we ordered it we thought it was going to be made in Doncaster but turned out not to be. But it is 100% case ih parts assembled in a different factoryThere could be a very good reason that tractor has been very reliable:
Was it made in the old Case /IH factory at Wheatley Road in Doncaster, which was taken over by McCormick as part of the terms for the C/NH merger?!
I dont think deere tractors needs more mechanic time than others, just because there are more doesn't count, at least a blue one says made in England on it, and some parts actually are, very few on a deere I find.TBH the amount of British jobs being supported by UK assembled Tractors will be negligible compared to the service and support thereafter. There are probably more British Jobs looking after JD equipment than anything else due to the volume of them out there.

Deutz always intrigues me; one of the best engines ever in the air cooled form that found its way into all sorts (sp sprayers etc) and the later water cooled going into fendt but the tractors themselves sharing the same sort of market share as McCormick, Landini, Lamborghini, Same, etc. Aren’t the new big Deutz made in the same factory as fendt now?Definitely buy a deutz it will keep four mechanics in full time jobs!! Heap of sh1te worst buy of my life!!
Old ones had some issues. Newer models since production moved to Italy have proved really reliable for us. Few electrical issues but nothing unusual and engines and transmissions have been great . Definitely been more solid than the previous big brand we were selling.If it’s just about supporting British Jobs Buy a McCormick It will have the most people and vans scattered around it for the most time.
Older models such as MC, MTX etc much the same as Case as they were built in the old Case factory from old Case parts. Newer ones share an engine manufacturer (FPT) but that's about it.Aren't they Cases in disguise and not as good
Deutz have recently opened their (huge) new factory in Germany where the (old) bubble cab six series and larger models are built.Deutz always intrigues me; one of the best engines ever in the air cooled form that found its way into all sorts (sp sprayers etc) and the later water cooled going into fendt but the tractors themselves sharing the same sort of market share as McCormick, Landini, Lamborghini, Same, etc. Aren’t the new big Deutz made in the same factory as fendt now?
I've had the pleasure of being given a tour round the factoryWell my NH has a Union Jack stuck to the front of the cab, hopefully that was made here!
Everything up to the 315HP T7HD and all the case equivalents for the America’s are built there. Over 900 employees. That’s a lot of PAYE tax going into the economy. Then there are the supporting business built around Basildon.I've had the pleasure of being given a tour round the factory
And yes, the shorter wheelbase blue and even a few of the red ones are assembled there.
However since they stopped producing the powerstar engine, and shut the foundry, not even the cleaners sandwiches are actually made there.
Everything is carted through the tunnel or across the water to this wee Island, where it's screwed together on a line that dates back to the days of the ford 5000s.
Lovely bit of history to see, but the profits all go overseas now
All the profits always went overseas right from day 1 of Ford tractor prduction in the UKI've had the pleasure of being given a tour round the factory

Oh, definitely a skilled job assembling them They're far better organised at Basildon than the lines I've worked on at Solihull and LongbridgeEverything up to the 315HP T7HD and all the case equivalents for the America’s are built there. Over 900 employees. That’s a lot of PAYE tax going into the economy. Then there are the supporting business built around Basildon.
If you think screwing then together has no skill, trying taking yours to bits and putting it back together and see what it looks like.
