That tractor has paid for itself many times over. And it's still going strong. Will outlive all the current electronic tractors.

[@garyhubbell8749]

Amen buddy. I totally agree and you hit the nail with the hammer on that one. Now these days they don't make them like they used to back then.

[@jessenelson6823]

Grew up with a 1030 case. Was used for chisel plowing and baling. Has since been retired to a mowing and raking tractor.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1030 was a big tractor in the 60’s. It is one of my favorite Case tractors.

[@JohnMiles-y6b]

Hello Jason I farm in the Great Southern area of Western Australia.We have a Case 4994 which turn over 10000 hours this year and still going strong.Had a few problems with the electronic steering but managed to get sorted. Parts are becoming an issue, but the internet is a great way to access most parts.Great video,and to see there still going in the States.Cheers from the land down under..

[@kygreenskeeper8326]

Those things looked like tanks! Awesome... Thx Jason... Congratulations on the 500.000... subs bud

[@douglassellers7528]

Good to see this old iron out in the field. Looking good and getting the job done.

[@chadshafer8095]

One of my favorite tractors of the era. Remember when they came out new at our local fair.

[@bigtractorpower]

That would have been neat to see one of these brand new on display at a fair.

[@whew5]

Great tractor. One of the 3 we farmed with was white like this one and had duals, tires were wider than these. We used a 19 shank sunflower and went a little deeper.

[@ScottPykare]

Always good to see old iron still going strong. Great background as well. Tillage videos are awesome.

[@clintonstubbs2319]

That’s a cool tractor. I read about this Case 4994 tractor earlier this year with that Scania v-8 diesel engine. I’ve been to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania and it’s some pretty farm land there with all the dairy cattle and corn fields.

[@donnellykieranj]

[@bradleamon4466]

I think the white ones looked the best

[@bigbird5365]

[@JamesWicker-ps4gq]

These Tractors had heart and soul ❤️. Unlike Tractors today.

[@russellparrish5745]

That 4994 is some awesome tractor. Nothing like old iron and raw horse power. My experience with JI Case was with a 870 Agriking tractor. It had the power shift transmission. We owned that tractor for many years. I used it mainly for utility work such as bush hogging, putting in food plots, clearing land, putting in, maintaining fire lanes and running stationary equipment such as log splitters. Good old tractor but that power shift could be dangerous. It could slip into gear while engine was ideling w/ tractor in neutral.😮

[@SamMaass-s5h]

I drove a 1070 for a short time. Good power but I didn't like the transmission.

Very RARE to see a 4994 on singles doesn't look right.In Saskatchewan & Manitoba all were with duals 24.5-32 or 30.5-32. BUT A kickass tractor V8 SCANIA power. Would be a good Big bro to your D-V800 4786. Loved working on them back in the day

[@benjenkins6603]

Still running Case in South Central WI: 1979 4490 to pull a 11 shank coulter chisel, 26 foot Krause Disk, and a Gehl 1250 chopper with a 3 row corn head. Also using a 1970 1070 to pull a JD 845 12rn cultivator, a Meyer 2636 manure spreader, and a 15 foot Great Plains no-till drill.

[@RichardWright4707]

I have a CaseIH tractor but at the other end of the product and power range a CaseIH 1394 2wd tractor from the old David Brown tractor factory in Yorkshire England it is used for pasture care work and rowing up haylage ready for round baling

[@brapperdan9554]

Great shots as always, thanks for another cool tractor video

[@piperdoug428]

i learned to drive in a David Brown 996 then learned to run loader in a Case 1390. That 4994 being a rare cross over would be better as the IH red but i assume the owner chose white for a specific reason

[@bigtractorpower]

I am on the hunt to feature some David Brown tractors to feature in Case history. The 4994 is pretty rare either in white or red. Many of the red ones started out in white and were repainted at the factory following the merger.

[@Blue10AEMia]

@bigtractorpower I have a 1290, basically a David Brown 990 with Case sheetmetal and side shifters

​@bigtractorpower Those 4wd Case tractors always intrigued me.

[@brentkubiak7858]

What a beast!!!!!

[@jeremiahmaack4425]

That tractor would roll along with that chisel all the way in the ground. Grew up on case tractors my dad worked at a case dealer in the late 70s and the first tractor I run was 1370 first year of power white. Still have it along with 2 other 13s a 22 and 2590 and 4490 are my dad's and I have a 1570 and 2870. We farm in mn on around 1000 acres. The 2290 runs hay equipment and planter the 2590 runs planter and sprayer tillage with the 15 28 and 44. And the 13s fill in all over the board. Have always wanted a 4994 with the Cummins 855 block. Only a few made.

[@ronaldfruechte6455]

Awsome

[@baraktzfanya3980]

I spent many years on a Case 2470...

[@deanmeyer1815]

I’ve run both 4 wheel steer (4166 IH) and articulated ( 8430, 8630 Deeres, IH 2+2, 855 Versatile) and always preferred the 4 wheel steer 4166. I felt it was more maneuverable and better ride and handling, besides not having all the extra drive shafts and u-joints.

[@troyverburg9600]

U joint or two by each wheel though right? And driveshafts

[@christinaschwartz2148]

We have a toy tractor just like that, except it was Red. I got it when I was 2 years old and played with it a lot.

[@bigtractorpower]

I was excited to feature this 4994 because it looks just like the one from Ertl. I have that very 1/16 CIH 4994 on display in my office. 👍👍

[@nellsonstout7001]

One less tractor on the wishlist

[@freedomrings1420]

One of my favorite old iron tractors. Not all of us old things go out to pasture to rot away. And best part of old iron .... NO DEF .... As a retired heavy equipment operator i couldn't stand when the equipment started needing DEF or it needed to sit for a while. Such nonsense to equates to NOTHING in the long run except higher cost and someone else getting rich.

[@peanutsmith1462]

If that’s 8 inches deep I would hate to see what scratching the dirt looks like but hey, it’s not my diesel fuel. Thanks for sharing.

[@bigtractorpower]

The main thing is that this is a great opportunity to catch a tractor that saw just over 200 units built. The overall were running in drought conditions that made it hard. They were running a test area to see how tillage, vertical till and no till did for late season corn following rye.

[@kodybalmer123]

[@Jrs-tl4kk]

My grandpa used to have a 2wd case tractor about the size of a 1086 international with a loader and grapple, and that's what he used to feed his cows with in the winter

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. The 1175 and 2290 would have been equal to a 1086 during its production 1976-1981.

[@kennethcarlton2860]

Tractor has over 400 HP and only chiseling 8 inches ? The chisel isn't level working the ground either

[@bigtractorpower]

This was filmed in drought conditions. It was not working as desired but corn needed to go in after rye and this was the conditions for filming. With 224 4994 tractors built I will take any conditions anywhere to get to show one as nice as this one at work.

[@8Nguy1948]

I use a 1951 DC-3 to hobby farm . It pulls a 3 bottom Oliver plow and a 10' Brillion disc . I also have the original B series cultivator for it .

[@kevinfox5068]

Another thing I noticed about the tractor, it's design shows that all the weight seems to be at the front of the tractor so the power wouldn't be evenly spread on the drive axles, as I see it. Kevin Fox England UK

Hey jason. When did the traction king series end? Was this tractor part or it?

[@bigtractorpower]

The ridged frame tractors were phased out in 1995. The last model was the 9260. I have a video on the 9260 posted at kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ-toqZqg7Zqq6Msi=CJZAzx54ic8IkT4E

[@dougschmitii6165]

I think there's way more tractor than chisel plow

[@bigtractorpower]

The 4212 is what the farm runs. It was running on drought conditions so it was not ideal tillage that day but the job needed to be done so corn could be planted.

[@shawnbrown8888]

I am with ya! I think that tractor could handle more!!!

That chisel would stop it in its tracks if they’d put it in the ground like it should be.

[@kevinfox5068]

To me it doesn't look like the driver has the implement set correctly, the rear chisels seem to clear the ground. Kevin Fox England UK

[@bigtractorpower]

This was filmed in late May and there was a drought. The farmer want to do an experiment and see how tied ground and no tied ground performed in these conditions. It was tough going for the chisel plow it could not get in the ground well. BTP got to see one of 224 of these 4994s ever built so that was a plus.

[@Hermiwalle]

He should adjust his implement its going deeper on the front chisels than the rear.

[@bigtractorpower]

This was late tillage in a drought. The farmer wanted to see how tillage vs vertical till vs no till. I am glad to have had the opportunity to feature a 4994 because it’s so rare and I saw this one brand new in 1985.

[@Hermiwalle]

Ok i see, but then he won’t get an accurate comparison because the implement is not working as good as it can.

[@joescheller6680]

Case has always been a lower RPM running engines with great torque. Unlike the JD high RPM engines with low torque. I grew uo on a LA case very low rpm but great torque and power got a 930 case later in my early farming days also a lower rpm engine high torque. When I get on the deere anymore you have to Crack throttle wide open or you kill engine the old case you could start out under load at idle then open up throttle

The Traction King 4wds were big sellers for Case but ultimately Steiger was the number one name in 4wds. It would have been neat to see the fixed frame design go beyond the Steiger cross over 4 way steer 9260.
