    Very tidy ploughing 👍🏼 I’ve not seen the attachments you have fitted before I’m guessing their purpose is to press the furrow against the mouldboard and keep the slice from breaking up as it turns ?

    The timing on the injection pump was incorrect (it’s a 4 cylinder and the owner had adjusted the timing to make it start easier from cold) it had been recently rebuilt and hadn’t bedded in so mr harrow made adjustments n after slowly increasing the maximum loading the maximum pto hp increased, was a combination of timing adjustment and the engine beginning to “bed in”

    Apart form the exceptional condition of this tractor, I know why the 1294 is very clean on the exhaust under load. If you had the earlier 1290 it would not be so pretty on the dyno even though it was rated with just two hp less at 59 DIN. What was the big technical difference between a 1290 & a 1294? I want to see who really knows there DB's!!!

  • @Jim-McKechnie
    @Jim-McKechnie Жыл бұрын

    There were a few differences-some early 1290’s had the db 4wd axle, some had the carraro axle, the 1294 4wd had exclusively carraro, the 1294 had the orbital unit for the steering mounted outside the cab, reducing cab noise and heat over the 1290 which was in the cab. 1290 had the older round hydraulic console which u could fit 2 hydraulic remotes , 1294 with the big square side console could support 3 remotes, early 1290’s had a shorter stoke engine at 59hp but later ones were rated at 61hp same as 1294 🙂

    @@Jim-McKechnie Well well you learn something new everyday. I use to have a load of 90 and 94 series brochures all disappeared unfortunately thanks to my mother doing a major clean out 30 years ago. I've done a bit of research online and mostly from American websites they are indeed showing the two different engine capacities for the 1290. I just assumed the 1290 always had the same (990) engine which was actually rated at 58hp. I'm not convinced that the later 3.6 L in the 1290 was also 61hp like the 1294. I am aware of all the other changes you outlined. The square hydraulic console you mentioned actually came in on all 1983 90 series as with the higher up headlights and it was all Carraro 4WD axels by 83 if not earlier. Yes the steering orbital mounting was a 94 series change. I was rared on DB's when my father bought a brand new 995 with POWER STEERING in March '76 and in 1980 bought a 2nd hand '75 1412 to drive a New Holland 717 Super Precision chop harvester. I could write a book on that.... Then he went over to a Ford 7610 to drive the same New Holland 717S in 1985. That had good power and torque compared to the DB 1412. His health failed there after so by 1988 I was firmly in the driving seat continuing with the silage making until 1996. Being a DB fanatic from the mid eighties that Ford 7610 got traded in for a, wait for it...............................a 1985 SIXTEEN NINETY FOUR in March '88 so very fittingly within days of Meltham production ending. It was delivered on April 1st from a dealership called Alexander Mills based in Northern Ireland. There was a long saga of problems between the engine and the hydra shift, well the hydra shift unit ended up being completely rebuilt a month after getting the tractor by a local DB expert mechanic, and has NEVER been touched since to this day. Oh I will make a video about it sometime when I get time as I know how rare 1694,s are. I am based in County Wexford in Southern Ireland.

    @@williampollard6259 there were a few later 94 series hydrashifts got rebuilt by dealers back in the day and they put old stock 1412 clutch plates in them as part of the case cost cutting measures they reduced the thickness of the plates to reduce cost which in turn reduced their lifespan in bigger tractors but if they got rebuilt they seldom gave bother with the 1412 plates, my own 1594 was modified by a previous owner, it doesn’t default to 1 when you press the clutch, the tractors own hydraulic pump steps in and supplies oil to the sequence valve keeping it whatever hydrashift speed u want like a powershift box , it was mostly 1594’s here in west of Scotland but their was a contractors had 1694’s
