12/08/22. Road trip with the CASE MAXXUM 125. (Part one)

[@afarmingtrucker]

You do realise the day you buy a shiny new tractor will be the day the council come along and resurface the road and make it as smooth as a babies bottom!! 😆 🤣 Enjoying seeing all the different tractors, and hearing about the good and not so good parts about them. Going by your initial reactions, (it could just be the way the video is edited, or the just the fact it was first), the New Holland seem to give you the most joy and ease of use. Obviously money talks, and comfort comes a close second, but that's how I've viewed it so far. Keep up the good work, look forward to the next one 👍

[@FarmerP]

Your not far wrong there 🙂

[@james1c763]

Good show Sir. Biskit looks much more relaxed in this one. Love that closing tune.

[@stryrker135]

Here's a little trick i learnt, most tractors will lift a few more inches using the the Fender Buttons! if that happens again try the buttons on the side. May i also add that most people that have them on demos will most likely have trailers empty when hitching on and off. you have a trailer of bales there that just might hold that hitch a fraction lower than what the dealership had set her up to be! as you said in the video they can stretch and its bound to happen at some point. couple of turns with a spanner on them lift arm ends and she will be right as rain! but yes try the fender buttons! Love the vids Ian! Look after yourself!

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video Ian 👍 why do these new tractors with all the bells and whistles have to constantly remind you they've got them by bleeping all the time 🤔 we have survived all these years without them is. It because manufacturers now think young drivers nowadays need reminded of basic checks 🙄😜 something to keep in mind putting the new tractor in the barn regardless of what make do not drive over a lump of hay or straw or,,,,,,,crunch 🙄😳🤣

[@Dacklanis36]

Great video, looking forward to part 2. Certainly an easy to get on tractor with familarity, personally my fav out of all. Had the same problem with hitch on the Case 105c Farmall, the lift bars became loose & wouldn't lift the hitch right up 100% & couldn't release the drop pin. Luckily a couple of simple turns with a shifter & problem was solved, been perfect ever since. 🙂

[@FarmerP]

I think this is the same issue, a little stretch from new can be expected, it’s why they are adjustable.

[@Dacklanis36]

@@FarmerP Of course the owner probably didn’t notice at the time so much seeing that when it arrived to you, it did have the drawbar hitch piece in instead. Obviously wouldn’t have been dropping & lifting under-load. 🙂🤓

[@andythewelder6181]

I don't think I've laughed as hard watching one of your videos Ian. Not because of what you were up to, but because I'm sat on the sofa with my two year old lad who is tractor obsessed. And the whole time you were driving down the road with the camera behind you he was bouncing up and down shouting "tractor tractor tractor" and laughing

[@FarmerP]

Brilliant 😄👍🏼👍🏼 Laughter is still the best tonic in the world 🙂

[@carlbous]

Maybe you could spec a dromone hitch if buying new. Our Valtras have them on. Just lift up to top until the hooks clip in, let tension off rods then retract the hitch. Nice big clunk as it locks in.

Evening ian, great content as usual cheers 😄

[@garethhall8500]

I think my choice of tractor would be the Massey mainly although the hydraulics are a faf for the hitch it’s does seem to have a more positive action. I think you would benefit from a loader tractor and I cut down on the rigmarole of moving your dads case about when loading bales etc

[@himself2]

Farmer P if you go with another case it will be like you never changed!

[@FarmerP]

True.

[@rossjob8564]

I've had that problem with a hitch not locking in and I got out of the tractor and used the buttons on the back of the Mark guard to lift up the arms to get the hitch to lock in

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands maybe it helps if you drive forwards and backwards and brake with the tractor WITHOUT the trailer brakes connected. especially pushing backwards against the weight of the trailer can help well I know from experience. so here in the Netherlands I drove with two tractor-trailers behind the tractor with potatoes to a wholesaler and I always had to couple it first with the tractor and trailer to trailer without the brakes being connected otherwise they would not normally connect properly. and without putting the brakes in forward and then in reverse again was enough to lock right thanks for the video. Sincerely, Hollandduck

[@sweed58]

Don't say you weren't warned about the dangerous pickup hitch and shuttle,we had a t5 and even the dealer couldn't get it set that it ever worked properly and you shouldn't need wd40 or hope the paint will wear off it should be perfect on a new tractor.I am really enjoying your vlogs

[@FarmerP]

Thanks Bob, I have to agree, I’m not that impressed with the pick up lock on the Case and New Holland.

[@mikesavage9325]

Would I be right in thinking you would have to compare the 6 S massey to the maxxum with no loader also, I would guess that the 6S would be a better ride than the 5S with the loader on .hope your grass gets growing soon Mike.

[@peterobey491]

I still have similar problems with the same hitch on my T5 after 4 years use, as said before, it's better to lift to full height then jiggle on the in and out Spool.

[@rogernorman200]

Makes you wonder given both the NH and this have had issues with the hitch and basically being the same, if that isn't a sign that there is a source of long term trouble that will best be avoided.

[@FarmerP]

It could be the newness, waiting for the paint to wear off.🙂

[@michaelscott7128]

@@FarmerP. I have the same hitch, you have to lift the hitch full height then pull it in on the spool otherwise it won't close when new. If you pull it in first then pull up the hitch with the trailer full loaded it won't lock out when new.

Sometimes on John deeres they do the seem with the hitch. Put once u put the air lines the pins goes straight in.must be cause breaks are unlocked that little movement

[@derredriver]

There's usually a little extra lift by using the mudguard buttons also are you sure the problem is an up and down one and not an in and out one happens on Deeres if you suck the hitch in to far the pin only partially deploys jiggling it in and out a fraction usually solves the problem

[@FarmerP]

I wiggled up and down, and in and out…. A lot.

[@TheByard]

Hi Ian, Must be strange trying out someone else's tractors, don't know if I'd fancy that not that I would want to damage a demo one either. When Case 125 arrived you checked if the snow plough hitch could be swapped over, what about all the other tractors you tested or is that in a new one in the deal???? It's nice knowing where everything is, but you will soon get used to a different one, I used to jump from one make of plant to another and even ones of the same make could feel different. But the Case has a nicer steering wheel than the boy racer MF one. Your thinking about the grass and passing bales onto someone in need is great and I'm 99% sure who you have in mind. That's what good mates are for. Stay safe and cool, it's 07.30 and 28c with a nice breeze rained a bit overnight here.

[@casto-]

Funny enough I’ve had the same problem with out t5 this summer resulting in a replacement drop arm 🤦‍♂. It never really worked than well… usually fine with empty trailers but heavy nose weight ones weren’t so fun

[@sanmarino_cs1698]

Same we had new drop arm on our T5 when it was a few months old. They said it was an updated part but really the best thing we did was fully oil/grease all the hitch up and it’s been perfect since. No issues on any of our T7 tractors though Wierdly.

[@sandymcghee3328]

[@paulblatchford4234]

Think that might bother me not quite knowing if the trailer is on there, I would expect theirs an easy fix but for now not what's needed when your trying to build confidence in a new machine.

[@Foxhillfarms]

Most of the farms in my area of cirencester and north wiltshire ie velcourt seem to be going with case and Massey.

I find they all have plus and minus points, a lot comes down to the service provided by the supplier. TH WHITES, COTSWOLD FARM MACHINARY and CHANDLERS all stepped up to the plate, and I would be happy to deal with any of them. 🙂

Hello Farmer P 😊... So, as I understand it, the Case cab is higher than the Massey and NH T5. In which case you will be able to see over the top of hedges and see the lady of the house mowing her lawn in a bikini 👙 🤔😀. There were two different sounds whilst you were driving. One seemed to be when you needed to change down or up a gear. The other, a pinging sound (like you get in a plane cockpit)... Possible warning sound for? 🤔. Apart from the hitch problem, you seemed very happy. Definitely more at home in the cab which makes sense since very similar to your own Case. 👍. I was a bit concerned with Biskit running around your Dad's barn with the gates open. I worry about her sighting a rabbit making straight for the road. Would Biskit follow it through the open gate? 😱😲 Thanks for the video, Farmer P 👍😊. Take care and hug for Biskit 🤗 🐶 ❤️

[@andyellis307]

When you don't think you need any tools you can garrenttee you will . Even a can of wd40 can help sometimes . Sounds like you have a fight on your hands with your own head as to which tractor comes out on top 😉

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Them pickup hitches may need a small adjustment but just need a good working as paint has them sticking, probably the time you got home it would have been locked.

Remind me never to buy a tractor new or used with that locking pin system on.. jesus that would get old really really fast. Give me the other version with great big hooks that hold the hitch up instead anyday.

[@duncan710]

Ian have you looked at the luxum 130. Biggest in that range far nicer tractor to sit in and drive than the maxxum I thought.

[@FarmerP]

I thought the biggest Luxum was 120 horsepower. The Vestrum goes to 130 with the bigger power plant.

[@duncan710]

@@FarmerP you could be right we tried all 3 and ended up not changing our local dealer is terrible. I would take the 130 over any of the rest though. It did have the cvx gearbox which would be something you should maybe look at. The ability to Rev the tractor but maintain a slow forward speed is great for topping thick grass and hedge cutting.

[@mrvanahead]

The more I see those UK hitches in action, the less I like ehm. Over here in the Netherlands we have in height (manual) adjustable hitches, either with a pin or selflocking like on HGV's (rigids with trailer style). And most tractors these days have a "kipperknobbel". All of these look way heavier built and less moving parts (which is a + to me). Only thing we have to do is turn up a noseweheel, but as we have to put in brakelines and lights anyway.. But the salesman said it was a 4cyl on a 6cyl wheelbase, does something for the comfort we see.

[@FarmerP]

The longer, heavier wheelbase certainly adds to ride quality. And it’s nimble too.

[@FarmerP]

It wasn’t worth the hassle for a one trip job. They had already done a pretty thorough once over before I had it, the hitch worked perfectly unloaded.

[@roba4297]

Is the hitch down to the PDI not being thorough enough , or a common blue/red dreadful design of one of most basic function requirements of a tractor ??? It would appear to be down to a shared design as the tractors are supplied from different countries. Shocking !!! A less vigilant operator would have been off down the road. Your average Joe would have more confidence hitching a caravan to his car once or twice a YEAR, not needing to hitch up several times a WEEK. A win - win for the 5S, and less obstructed view over the bonnet.

[@FarmerP]

The tractor had over 100 hours on the clock, so even after the 50 hour service there was time for a bit if bedding in or stretch, one or two turns on the lift rod adjusters would cure it. 👍🏼🙂
