A pair of Case '56' series tractors working together making round bale silage in the Cumbrian fells

The 956 and 1056 they are the best tractors I have ever driven

Hi Mark. I totally agree with you, superb tractors. Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. Regards Dave.

Sounds sweet does that 1056, I never liked them myself, Always felt a big lump for 105hp straight 6, I much preferred my 9145 crystal with Duncan cab.

Hi Billy, thanks for watching and your comment It has got a lovely engine and as you say it’s a big physical tractor for 105hp but with the turbo pushing out 130hp it’s much better balanced. Yeh the Zetor 9145 is a lovely tractor, mid-80s model if I remember correctly. Do you still own it?

Love it, we have a 956xl international before case took over,two wheel drive I'm not exactly sure what hp it is probably around 95, is there any difference in the case model r are they exactly the same apart from the badge? Love the whistle they make 😁

[@davidwinthrop7077]

Hi Paul. Yes the International and Case are exactly the same, different in colour and badges only. Your right on the with the hp too, right on the nose at 95. Would love to see a red/ cream International, there’s not as many about now and yes that whistle combined with the 6-cylinder bark is pure music to the ears. Many thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated Dave.

Hi! Is that a factory turbo? They are really rare and so I was wondering if they were sold like that. Also, what size of tyres do you have installed on it? I bought mine with R24, but most have R28 and that is troubling. Did you have any problems with the transmission?

[@davidwinthrop7077]

Unfortunately not a factory turbo, It’s fitted with a TB Turbo that went on in 1993. Never been any bother at all. 18.4R38s and 13.6R28, as long as the lead ratios are matched you shouldn’t get any transmission problems. This 1056 hasn’t and it’s done 11,000 reliable hours. Thanks for watching and your comment, very much appreciated! Dave

Hi David turbo was fitted in 1991 when she was 6 mth old, definitely done it no harm

[@davidwinthrop7077]

@@steve-mz5ys It certainly has not, you can tell just by healthy it sounds. Got my years mixed up, I probably meant to say 1991. Hope to get up and see it working again this summer, let me know when you’re in the fields. Thanks for watching and your comment, it’s much appreciated Dave

[@sandman8993]

Well that was embarrassing 🙈

[@davidwinthrop7077]

Which moment? The Case dying on the hill or the bale rolling into the hedge? Probably a combination of the steep hill, heavy crop and possibly the wrong gear! Thanks for watching and your comment, very much appreciated. Dave
