[@FarmersSss]

If you had turned the key to the left then it would of displayed the hours. I really hope you read this, we bought a brand new 4230 lp (low profile) so I know alot about them. We also have had many other case tractors. My point is, the 42 series we in my opinion the worst by a mile. You would be very disappointed and it probably wouldn't even compare to your old 100 hurliman. My advice is that you get what you pay for. The 42 series case's haven't got a big following or that 4240 at the sale would have made more. I would either go for an 856xl or a cx 90 or 100 because they were all much more capable tractors

[@skipmole612]

Glad you commented as such. I've always felt the 42 series were, 'nowt flash'.

[@boba5984]

Tom, you need to carry a club to use to slow the ginger warrior down. I've had 3 ops on my back, last one 2013 with pins and rods. I'm sat here now on 2 different pain killers and Diazepam because of multiple issues and it ain't pleasant. The right recovery is so important as it sets the tone further down the line. A good chair for posture, no slouching ! No lifting, climbing, standing too long in one place, riding a tractor, pushing things and twisting. Saying that, keep moving with no prolonged periods sat down and definitely keep up the exercises. 6 weeks back to normal is too short, at least 8. Not trying to teach how to suck eggs....... but we don't want a broken one now do we.

[@gerry6420]

Enjoyed that. Who dosnt love an auction. Tractor prices are mental now.

[@brendanoneill1466]

So, this would be to "update" the 885 loader tractor so you could possibly have 3 field tractors? The Case, the smaller Hurliman and this update? Oh, please bring on the drier weather, I can't wait to see those field videos. And well done keep your father under control when he was trying to jumble around like he hasn't a care.

[@dwrowley]

great to see you and your Dad on bangers and cash with the BMC Mini tractor, I thought it looked like your farm

[@TJMack-]

Ach, it was a good day out nevertheless. I fancied the Muir Hill 121 - we had a 161 back in the day. My fave tractor of all time.

[@djborud]

This was a Fantastic video!!!

[@jc8451]

Some great characters in the video today Tom. Enjoyed it.

[@seberous]

We have 3 similar machines. An 885, a 4240 and a 4220. All done us very well and very similar mechanically. 4220 has a different engine block, but same backend. They're all getting very tired now, but we're juddling them around. But the gear linkages are fairly awful, especially now they're worn

[@wilmidwales1287]

Good to see your dad up and about despite you having kittens every time he does something he’s not supposed to do know the feeling

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

You would have been disappointed with a 4240 or any case in that range they were a step down in reliability compared to the earlier models or the models that came after them. The man giving you advice at the auction was very right

[@alanchatfield4271]

DT 268, it's a 4.4 four cylinder with around 100+ hp, a long stroke of 140 mm to a 100mm bore, basically a 4 cylinder case 1455, loads of low down torque with hanging power, wonderful motor

[@ford8630power]

[@stevewareing8525]

Some serious money spent there Tom, glad to see you didn't succumb to the auction fever. You should look at a recent video from Joe in Yorkshire. He had a walk round an auction site near York that was simply "Maahhooosive" And they had some Sheer grabs. 😉. PS: I hope the Warrior behaved himself on holiday and is continuing to convalesce well. 🤞👍.

[@jamesilesfarminglife]

Turn the key anti clockwise for the hours

[@NHmad]

Hi tom you need to turn the key backwards on the 4240 to show the hours👍

[@jascollinscork]

Great video 😍

[@paulthompson8467]

Good video i remember selling 4240s etc when they were new and to be honest we had alot of warranty claims with them between clutch failure and poor electrics the backend is more or less the same as a 674 but with 95hp under the bonnet the backend was fit for purpose plus i thought the gear change was horrendous compared to an 885

[@FarmersSss]

Worst tractor that case ever made!

[@paulfairbrass4424]

Used Farm machinery has been really high for quite a while. But some of those prices. That definitely was auction fever.

[@claasjaguar9607]

Always wanted a Massey 35 haha. Unlucky with the Case though mate! About the JDs at the end, not so keen on the new JD models but the older shapes like the 6920/7530 are wicked 😎.

[@djleharani9850]

On those generations of case IH you have to turn the key back to get the hours 😉

[@TeddyBearsForBigPeople]

7:37 Not bad Case IH 4240 with hydraulics total flow rate 60.9 lpm and a optional to up it to 69.6 lpm.

[@jsparrowthegamer7729]

I dont know how you van take your father anywhere without him trying to climb into every tractor lol

[@damjord]

It's a pity the 4240 didn't fall into your budget range. I assume the "slightly older" backup plan tractor is not the PRO model? The PRO was only available in the final year of production. The PRO models have a host of really really nice features that the previous models didn't have, and they were generally all round better tractors. Also the PRO had slightly more power and torque. We had a 1998 model 4240XL PRO, a real pocket rocket tractor - it never missed a beat in 15 years. The XL cab is much more desirable than the 'glass house' LP cab. The transmission would not be ideal for lots of road work, but for around the yard it would be prefect for your operation.

Lol! Never in a month of Sundays was that 42 gonna sell for 10k! The 15 and a half what the hammer dropped at was probably fair price for it. The gear linkage on them does have a bad rep but are ok if well maintained or certainly not any worse than an XL cabbed 885.

Sorry Tom but I have to agree with Mr Right. If you can only afford one or t'other, it has to be a loader tractor. I know that Merlo have a telehandler now with linkage and pto but I'll be dead before one of them gets into my price range 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mjkelly390]

Your dad is just full of history knowledge and old tractor knowledge anyone else notice 😂

[@blackheart30518]

I figure the wheel base to be around 100” or so and the case 4240 is 88.7 so it’s not much bigger. Hell you could probably sell the loader to bring the price down some more if you didn’t need it. Oh and only 2.67 meters tall. Under 9’ tall it’s a muscly beast of a shrimp.
