12/08/22. Trying out the Case Maxxum 125 (Part two) The journey home.

[@grumpyoldsiggie]

The acid test for comfort would’ve been Abbi in the buddy seat - see how many times she swears or screams at you bouncing down the road. 😂😂

[@exileinderby51]

Now that would be some test!!

[@noelowens2427]

Case is a winner. Just get the loader for it.

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands and thanks for the video. Sincerely, Hollandduck

[@paddygemma]

you looked more at home with this one and still the best so far for me

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Farmer P you looked like you were rocking and a rolling , alot .and so was biscuit. Not to sure I would like that ride for very long . Hope your backs ok. Thank you for showing us the trackers .

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Friday evening you all from Wellington Somerset

[@2626stephen]

Well it pulled well and it's a case something your used with. Biskit looked to be at home

[@harrie1976]

when the poor farmer got home he went for a nice cool or hot drink. so by a wrong loaded trailer the ride was. bad. the lock pin needed some lubrication. the turning cirkel was good. collor was red and shiny . the very big question is what is the final say from mrs p. what does the boss think is the best deal for the farm.

[@cgulden]

I think it's a forgone conclusion as to how your choice will go. You have good luck with your current tractor so that is a plus. I question whether you need that big a tractor, it's not like your pulling a 6 bottom plow, with the trailers being your biggest piece of equipment.

[@andrewmckee8874]

Given that you do mostly road work a T6 with Power command gearbox could be a better option. No range changes and can auto up/down if selected. Had no real issues over 21 years/14000 hrs on one tractor and and no issues on another 2. There's a whine under acceleration on most tractors. CVTs needs rebuilds/pumps, dyna4 and dynamic command are great but expensive to buy and repair. It's always a trade off. It's hard to go back to 40k when your used to 50k

[@zzirSnipzz1]

Loved that one best as it brought back memories of driving TM and the trans noise reminds me of an old SA i was in one day music to the ears

[@jackiedonaldson5218]

All those tractors were fine. The Massey seems just to be in the lead I think. Down to the best finance/service/maintenance and warranty. With a loader I imagine the case may be the most money.

[@miketaylor8777]

Salutory lesson in loading a bale trailer! Interesting show that the smaller MF done a similar job to the larger Case. Good to see that it has a 120mph mode.

[@rogernorman200]

Hope the owner of the tractor didn’t see the vid - he might think someone’s been racing his P&J🤣

[@misterx243]

Nah 5s has a Front weight on it. Only it's looking like a frontloader. If the Maxxum had some weight on it's nose from a loader or frontweights it would ride at least just as smooth

[@sandymcghee3328]

Good video mr. P. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@markh5433]

Closed my eyes then Ian I could of been sat on our T6….. exact whine, and beep when you go to Range D😎😎😂

[@klausjensen7412]

Hi´ Ian. Even though i like the whine from the gearbox, i think the best tractor for Bradley Farm so far is the New Holland T5 140. Rigth now i personally think you should go blue with a frontloader.

[@neilbaldwin143]

Try a active 8,we have 2 maxxums 125s,an active 8 and a 16/16 ,active 8 is far quieter and smoother through the gears ,well worth the extra money !

[@himself2]

Biscuit loving life ❤️

[@jakeforestryandfarmingblog6188]

I know it would most likely be too big for you but please try a fasttrac I drive one every day and you won’t want to go back.

[@xzekerman]

NH T7 165s was the smoothest ride you had so far. from what i have seen..

[@peterfrebold]

... that hitch is too much of a fiddle .... half wondering is there is build-up behind the hitch slide, just judging from the position of the pin to the hole, if that is the case it will be never ending bother. ... as have mentioned before I know nothing about it from a tractor and farming viewpoint ... in my job there are steps in a routine that have to work now and fiddling around is not an option. That hitch is something that would be subject to mud and snow and freezing slush. Would be a no go. ... love the country side shots ... thx for the share FP .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

[@gogglet72]

Maybe you should have loaded the trailer more evenly when you got home and gone for another road test to see if it improved. I get the impression up to yet the blue tractor is your favourite.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Apart from the time lapse the case looked like she was flying 😁 might be worth while movin a few bales balance out the load an go for a short drive see the difference 🙄 good video 👍 if it ain't Case red leave it in the shed 🙄😁👌

[@themeparkkieran4573]

na massey is the red that wants out the shed

[@HenriGooch]

Nice one! Whens the Kubota coming? I love mine 5 year 5000 hour warranty!

[@paulwilliams3494]

A shame the comparisons were compromised by the loading which was undoubtedly the issue in my opinion. You did look most at home in the Case, then there is the missing loader part of the equation in terms of ride and price? George's talk about the front linkage seemed positive and with a paint up and possibly fitting in the deal could be a £5000 job in real terms plus he said it wouldn't knock the value of your tractor........on camera! Good luck, it is all a lot of money when you have a tidy tractor and your dad's too which would probably only be valued at the price of a new fitted loader if you sold it, crazy! Comfort and electronics ( not always such a bonus to my mind ) is where they have shifted most in twenty years apart from Fastrac who were way ahead of their time. As we are all feeling the effects of too many years bouncing around on the things comfort becomes more important for sure.

[@jackiedonaldson5218]

Apparently I’ve won a prize Ian 😂😂👍

It’s a scam Jackie, I have reported it and blocked the user. It’s happening a bit too often…. Beware! 🙂👍🏼

[@alanobrien1817]

Red red whine.... 😜🚜

[@tjmcardle3750]

How would ya listen to the that gear box whinging all the time foe that reason alone I'd pick either of the other two

[@themeparkkieran4573]

Would have been interesting to see how the case was with a loader with it being a bit bigger and visibility and ride

[@maevephipson2803]

Hello Farmer P 😊. Interesting to note that Case seems to be the only tractor brand built for high speed driving 🏎️🚀😅. So far, the T5 has my vote for quietest engine and less bounce per ounce. In the T5 you were bouncing up and down with minimal sway. The MF was like a ship in high seas i.e. down at the Bow, roll left to Port, down at the Stern, roll right to Starboard. No wonder you were feeling seasick 🤢. In the Case you were bouncing more than in T5 and swaying side to side. Mind you that could have been due to the high speed you traveling at 😅. Great video, Farmer P. Take care and hug for Biskit 🤗🐶❤️

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Wow , great observation, great reporting , do you sail , or own a boat ?? That's exactly how it looked .

[@stubbi]

Put some weight on the front if there is weight on the back, especially if its loaded with a lot of weight on the hitch. Tractors arent build for road work, especially if unloaded.

[@maevephipson2803]

@@nancysmith-baker1813 Greetings. I am not a sailor, get horribly seasick. but am OK on an ocean liner. My father worked for the British Overseas Govt service and was stationed in Africa. He had 3 months leave every 3 yrs and we would visit family in the UK and travel around Europe. We always went by sea because my father would not get on a plane 😀. Best sea trip I remember was from Dar-es-Salaam (East Africa) to Venice via the Suez Canal. Amongst other great sights was the Pyramids. The canal was narrow and the ship was moving very slowly so the Pyramids were very close. Awesome sight. Also the first 14 yrs of my working life was in a travel agency hence further knowledge gained on ships, planes, and trains. 🤗 Thanks so much for your comment. Brought back some beautiful memories 👍😊❤️

[@roderickdcrawford9982]

You know pharmacy your roads are like our sidewalks and up there for two people and that's it only yours is for one person

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

It may be the tyre pressures that's giving the uncomfy ride, and the loading of the bales

[@geibbi4892]

[@Rx37Legacy]

What about trying out a Valtra?

[@gutinstinct4067]

That exhaust pipe liked like it was going to rattle out of it's hole all the time lol

[@ethanwilliams7767]

I think you should try a fendt 211 there really nice and tidy little tractor and it has a boost of 125 horses that case is pretty nice as well love the videos 👍🏻

[@FarmerP]

A bit out of my pockets range I think.

[@elginsparrowhawk7203]

Cramped cab on the 211.

[@sarahemerson3174]

It would be good to try and run the different tractor journeys on the same video. To compare the way you get thrown about. = )

[@russellpetrie119]

700 got a nice sound to it like contractors machine a mini beast im swayed from t5 to this case

[@christinegibbins6105]

Not sure I could bear that engine whine, I had to turn the sound down!!! Thanks Ian, take care.

[@brianthroup7891]

It need some weights on the front that will take out the front bounce

[@charleshart6992]

Great update - the CASE appears to be quite noisy on the road (whine).

[@FarmerP]

Still quite new.

[@markh5433]

@@FarmerP just like our T6, it whines like that😵

[@HanSoloDK]

hmm, maybe you should try to reload the trailer "correctly" and then take a drive in it again with the trailer.

[@kevingovier5090]

Well Farmer P, Thought you were going to be impressed with case,,,,thought my cx 105 made noises,but that was when the four wheel drive braking stepped in,the case was noisy all the time,and in reverse,,,wondering what would the ride be like pulling full load 14t silage trailer,5S could be on the way,thinking you really should be helped by what ever dealership choice you take,because you will be always advertising their tractor make,every week on KZbin.

[@raykelly9203]

The maxxum seems to be the smoothest ride so far Ian, of course it is a Case after all.😁

[@kennethgreen2829]

How loud was it in the cab Ian? Maybe you mic was picking it up more but this un sounds a lot more whiny than the NH and Massy. Personal choice I know, but the wining of that case would drive me mad if I was using it all day and I place noise in the cab very much in the operator comfort catagory.

[@michaelslinn7472]

I personally think the gearbox and axle whine too much for my liking, the case is the worst for it.

[@mrksk2132]

He can choose gearbox active8 which is smooth and nicely quiet 🤗

[@callumg3716]

Are you going too give the kubota ago as well ?

[@FarmerP]

If they bring me one, yes.

[@lesleyhenderson181]

Was looking forward to the case demo but that whine put me right of ill stick with the make I have.

[@oldmanonamission8055]

What's the yellow warning light on the dash?

[@FarmerP]

It’s a faulty switch.

[@bgslade1]

I am thinking that if the Money were close enough you will go with Case, That seemed to do the job very well and was only 125. Imagine what equal HP would do?

[@colmanlong1032]

I'd say it's a case of bouncy case,still think you'll go Case.must say biskitl looked very happy.

[@mikesavage9325]

In my opinion having the case has maybe helped you to realise how good the 5S was overall Ian. I know you mentioned the cool air low down but was the cab not as cool overall in the 5S ? Mike

[@russellpetrie119]

102 bix is comfortable thats the main thing bix aproved

[@autisticpainter4079]

Great video Ian, just a thought have you thought about trying a Fendt 500 which is also 124hp . I was in one a few days ago and it was the most comfortable tractor ride I've ever had and that was in the buddy seat.

[@FarmerP]

A great machine, but out of my reach on cost I’m afraid.

[@stephenwade5994]

The hitch seems to be an annoying flaw, never sure if it's properly locked

[@FarmerP]

GOAL is the answer, just to be sure….. Get out and look 🙂 👀👍🏼

[@redlineXX]

@@FarmerP or take the massey and not have to as you know its locked mate.

[@roba4297]

What is the amber light on the dash? The sigh when you stopped the engine said it all. That trip looked hairy, and the transmission whine will not improve. Is the tractor supplied with a set of pot-holes to engage the trailer lift pin? It originally looked like an impressive piece of kit, but that video spoke volumes. I wonder what the owner thinks now ?

[@FarmerP]

The orange light was for a fault on a switch, they didn’t have time to replace it before it came out to me.

[@craigdoig9486]

Great content again

[@christopherwhatcott6235]

Decision time Ian ? and sleepless nights thinking 🤔

[@teversoncoleman496]

Good evening Mr. P. it might have been the way the trailer was loaded but you seemed to be bouncing a lot in the seat and it was rather noisy especially a whine coming from some where will be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. What are you going to do if you have any more tractors to test with all the bails brought home. Keep well and stay safe.

[@zzirSnipzz1]

Transmission whine

[@tipperarymick5337]

The whine from the electro command transmission is pretty bad. Interestingly, I had a t6 145 on loan from the dealership while they were sorting an oil leak on the t5. The t5 is quite a bit smoother and quieter on the road. Don't know if it's because it's got all new more modern drivetrain. I do know the t6 is about to be replaced, and the t6 125 and 145 are to be dropped altogether. I presume the same goes for the Case. Would be interesting to see how it would handle around the yard with a loader, but then you probably don't use the loader around the farmyard much.

[@FarmerP]

The skid steer does all the yard work.

[@tractorman810]

how often would you do a run with part load though ian?? i guess without a loader you could weight block on the front linkage to compensate, given its maybe a once /twice a season thing i suspect a little loading thought would solve it anyway on either the case or mf, suspect the nh would be the same as well ,nice to see its got f1 mode on it as well 😆😆

[@FarmerP]

😄👍🏼

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

A good sturdy weight block is a good idea, maybe take the bounce out of it a little 🤷‍♂️

[@mrvanahead]

We know bizkits opion is important, and the numbers should fit you. But i haven't heard you about one of the most important points. Which tractor(cab) has the best options/possibillities for youtuber-camera's ;)

[@FarmerP]

😄😄👍🏼

[@elginsparrowhawk7203]

4Ok or 50k box? If a loader was fitted to the Maxxum 125 would the turning circle be increased?

[@FarmerP]

Should not effect the turning circle.

[@dazmnewbold807]

what's the next one tractor going to be or have you made your mind up witch one its going to be? and you wouldn't think a tractor you would feel the bumps in the road so much like in a car and that

[@FarmerP]

No decisions yet.

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video Ian I wouldn’t be gone on that tractor seriously whiney

[@NJRD977]

Surely this is the fourth test drive - the 2 NH, 1 MF and now the Case. As others have mentioned, there is a lot of transmission whine on this one - is that just mic placement or did you find it noisier?

[@redlineXX]

he was never counting on the first one as it was too big in his opinion.

[@FarmerP]

@@redlineXX Indeed, the T7 was just an appetiser 🙂👍🏼

[@russellpetrie119]

is it for sale?

[@brownwarrior6867]

Could you not simply shift the load back over the trailer axles and see how it handles after making the adjustments?

[@FarmerP]

I didn’t have a loader to move the bales.

[@Jerry-qv2pf]

Don’t they put the same gearbox in as the one in the new Holland .. think it’s called active8

[@richardwalsh1838]

You looked shattered after that tractor ride, my comments would be driving any tractor at that speed would wreak the spinal cord of any driver and leave them shattered. If you want to drive at that speed with a full load behind you will need a JCB Fastrac which is designed for comfortable high speed road work.

[@samueljamouneau]

Seemed to pull well is it 40kph?

[@russellpetrie119]

save some money on front hitch but spent on front loader still cheaper liking the turning circle too rare on a machine that size

[@casto-]

How are you finding having a semi auto gearbox rather than a big leaver? And did you say that was a 50k box in it?.🤔🤷‍♂

[@FarmerP]

Apart from the annoying beeping it was ok, but only 40k

I'm a layman so what do i know ! I watched and listend then went back to watch again the MF & NH the case seemed noisy on the microphone and you did bounce a bit . The other two seemed quieter but you did have some front end bounce on the MF . The NH seemed better ? Decisions Decisions Ian good luck .

Farmer p im most impressed by the t5 whats wrong with the transmission in that case makes a lot of noise would drive me nuts . and the t5 gearbox looks to be shifting the best of all of them . whats you thoughts on that ?

The T5 was the best if the 3 in my opinion.

[@charlieboy9297]

Hi Mr P

[@richielamb2733]

No matter what you got pulling a badly loaded trailer you’ll feel the difference Farmer P 👍 perhaps you should’ve done a couple of loads badly and good loaded to see the difference with each tractor👍

[@FarmerP]

The First loads were all full 20s the last 32 got split into two and shared between the MF and Case.

[@bobuncle8704]

Nice riding unit. It’s a shame that locking mechanism is sticky like that

[@jamesnicholl8016]

That horrible transmission whine shows why you need the active8 to make this a proper tractor, and then you would have to compare it to the MF 6S to be fair!! Something tells me you liked the T5 the best.

[@buza1300]

More noise inside in this one!

[@kevinbillany4014]

[@5tevec368]

why would you knowingly load a trailer badly?

[@FarmerP]

It was the last of two loads of 16 that I loaded with the Massey 5S. The Massey didn’t enjoy the journey home because the load was heavy in front of the axle, but to make the comparison fair I had to load the second trailer the same. To be clear, the bales were well loaded and very secure, just not well balanced on the trailer axles.

[@theminger1]

Well I certainly couldn’t stand the transmission noise can’t believe in this day and age that it’s supposed to be like that
