Our latest new DVD.
This programme celebrates the Case and Case-IH 94 Series,
the last tractors to be built in the former David Brown
factory at Meltham in West Yorkshire which effectively
marked the end of the line for this historic band. The 94
Series story is one of evolution rather than revolution,
with refinement resulting in a range of tractors which can
still be found in use on British farms today and enjoy
considerable interest from enthusiasts.
The programme follows the farming year with a Cambridgeshire
fenland farm, where a 1494 and 1594 are used in frontline
roles, as well as looking at numerous examples of other key
models at work in different locations. Certain features of
the range are looked at in slightly more detail, such as the
high-clear option. Background information includes a brief
overview of the previous David Brown 90 Series, as well as
the American-made Case models.
The full range of British-made 94 Series models is shown,
this being the 1194, 1294, 1394, 1494, 1594 and 1694, with
many shown in both the ‘magpie’ livery and later Case-IH red
and black colour scheme. Many period implements are also
encountered with a diverse range of activities covered
including ploughing, discing, power harrowing, drilling,
rolling, hoeing, fertiliser spreading, spraying, mowing,
tedding, rowing-up, baling, wrapping, sugar beet harvesting
and hedgecutting.
