Which case/ih 55/56 tractor ?

[pappuller]

Always had a great admiration for the 80s/90s case/ih 55/56 series tractors, never owned one but wonder what people's thoughts are about one as an investment if any ?
Even if it's just to hear that noise on a regular basis.
See one or two about restored and not, what are people's opinions.

Iv still got a 956 left on farm,dont really need it, but it's hardly put a foot wrong since new.
,proberly one off the most reliable tractors owned, closely followed by a Tm. And I'm green blooded, I'd say better than money in the bank.

My neighbours have one, bought for similar reasons. It's a 956xl case 4wd.
It was bought as a plaything but it's surprising how much it gets used. Alongside their more modern stuff They've tidied it up, its a nice machine and certainly won't have lost any money.
