What is it?.
Worth loads more if it is .

This is a 1938, think that's pre classic and certainly doesn't earn its keep

It is.
I meant, what is your JD, that has entered Classic status.

The newest in that pic is a 10 series 1999-2002 (according to tractor.data.)

I would say 70's/80's/90's tractors are classics and the JD 10 series are basically a 00 series with a different sticker and a LHR (shuttle)

10 series don’t necessarily have LH shuttle (it’s not uncommon).

Used to drive a 6900 with left hand shuttle. Got a 6410 with right hand lever.

A 1979 tractor is definitely a classic but is a mower from the 1990s a classic?

Can't possibly drive that mower with 65 hp would need at least 120 from a modern tractor, what the hell has happened to make new ones so useless.

It's only an 8ft mower but I agree, modern horses do seem to be much smaller

How well does the DB handle the mower?
Keep thinking about upgrading from the drum mower to cover the ground a bit quicker but only have a 995 or 1390 and not sure what they would handle.

That Taarup 336 isn't a problem to that 996, although that is a late model 996 with the 540 injector pump which does make a difference. Your 1390 should have more power than it. Our land is fairly flat and we try not to grow massive crops so not the biggest challenge. A trailed mower on the drawbar needs less power than a mounted mower or a trailed with a swivel hitch.

I need to repair or replace the small front panel below the gearbox and I could do with a conditioning plate, it was missing when we bought it

Are they still available or will you have to replace it with chequer plate?

No longer available and unlike the later models I don't think there's anyone making them. Will keep an eye out for a breaker or cobble something together. Like all our machinery, it's a work in progress.

Could sell you a 337 drawbar needing the drive coupling to the bed. I need time to fix it and it is grand but can't find a any time. I want a newer krone also part of the reason.

Thanks but I'd want another 336 or better still find someone breaking one.

I had my 336 out today mowing a few rows to test out a recently refurbished trailed harvester.
