They're popular round here.

@blueman221997 the ones behind the mx110 and the mxm120 are 12 but the field masters are 18tonners

To M4L221008

Thanks Matthew. I was hoping someone would come to my rescue! That was the figure I was given by Phil. I seem to remember, but I was not certain.

[michael2kay11]

Nice video, have liked :)

[michael2kay11]

Nice video, well done, steady hands!!

[balmesh]

To michael2kay11

Thanks Michael - years of practise and good image stabilisation!

[blueman221997]

There definatley not 18 toners there 18fts about 12ton ;)

[DaleChapmanCornwall]

Wow hydraulic doors. Never seen one of them before :). Also does that Case lift the trailer alright? Appears too and the beggining their. The old ones and David Brown's struggle loads.

[balmesh]

To DaleChapmanCornwall

Both the Case tractors are man enough for anything! I couldn't understand your reference to David Brown and the old ones - are you speaking from experience back home?

[DaleChapmanCornwall]

@balmesh a MXM125 down here couldn't handle a 12 tonne Fraser. It wasn't even loaded that much either. It absoloutley was rubbish. And David Brown's were astonishing. Bloke said they'd be fine. They weren't. :L

[balmesh]

To DaleChapmanCornwall

I suppose much depends on the tractor - here they seem to pull OK but are not so reliable. I still don't understand the reference to David Browns.  They stopped making those years ago . . . .

[damodamodamo2]

@balmesh The david browns became case, thats why they stopped making them and why dales referring to them. The older case tipping pipes weren't all too great. End of the day it's personal preference with tractors. Some say the MF 390 were a great machine but we had horrid trouble with ours. Have a valtra and never looked back. Same with case, some say they're useless, yet some wouldn't change..

[balmesh]

To damodamodamo2

Yes, my one-way mind said that DB was shut and didn't make tractors, whereas they "became" Case tractors (so did International, but that just confuses things). So for David Brown I should read Case? If so then, like you with the 390. he's had an unfortunate and perhaps not typical, experience. The 390T I used to borrow was a belter! And here, well, I've seen lots of tractors laid aside but not yet a Case.

good video. well done

[balmesh]

To mjd2453

Thanks very much.

[jjjjjtttttkkkkk]

absoulutley love the 110 great sound and great video 10*

[balmesh]

To jjjjjtttttkkkkk

Thanks for the comment. I have informed the owner that he'll make a lot of people very unhappy if he sells it!!

[rakerman]

Great sound from the case tractors! thumbs-up,,,,

[balmesh]

To rakerman

Thanks Pat. Those Case tractors always oblige.

[jordankeeps]

That's great! The 110 sounds awesome! Loving the trailers. They must be happy with them

[johnwandersonagain]

Hey Alan

You are seriously pumping those videos out fast ..Cant keep up with you !!

[balmesh]

To johnwandersonagain

The only way I can get as many views as Pat! Seriously, I have loads of pre-HD videos which got sidelined when I upgraded. Seems a shame to leave to rot. . . The old Scottish ones are experimental - is there anyone who remembers them and would they still be acceptable? Answer is "yes" to both, it seems.

[Mad4Tractors]

Some nice pitwork

[balmesh]

To Mad4Tractors

Yes, Mark does a good job.

[lukasmcphillips]

it would take a right while to fill that pit

[balmesh]

To lukasmcphillips

Yes, it was only just begun.

[lukasmcphillips]

@balmesh how many acres had to go into that pit

[balmesh]

To lukasmcphillips

The easy answer is "all of them" but there were at least three cuts, so it isn't that easy and I have no idea of the acreage of grass.
