Case JX1100U 2005 4277 hours Quicke front loader (not long on) Simple tidy tractor locally owned

Though it should be an x4(bigger) loader for this tractor size!

The.JX cases are very good. I think the newer ones come under their farmall range.ive driven a couple of the 100hp farmalls with loaders and they are great little things.

 

I don't know what it is about 5000 series Massey's but they hold their value. I was in Waterford just after Christmas I stopped in at a dealers (proper bus man's holiday) and the price of the things was astronomical.

Why am I getting steyr manufacturing?

I have driven a jx95 best thing was when I got off it, gearbox is one of the clonkest I have used.

Xtrashift?, whilst you can't totally remove the clunky, a new flywheel speed sensor does help make it a bit more acceptable

Are there no case mx models over there or 5140 5150 etc about? Think maybe 5130 still has the 6 cylinder Cummins in it

[swinny]

One of my better purchases !

 

I've even considered bringing it in for cosmetics when I get chance to freshen it up

Not bad little tractors. Just the plastic tanks on the side are a little vulnerable to woodland sticks. I know one man who punctured the tank twice before he guarded it. Solid little tractors. Whatch out for dodgy water pumps and hydraulic leaks under the cab.

Btw.

I still got the 1490 for timber extraction.

So I am not bothered about my "new" tractor being forest proof.

It will be saved for road work and other non contact pastimes. But with a loader, preferably.

I seem to be caught between non-electronic but shagged done 1990's stuff, and fresher but prone to electronic failure newer stuff.

I would not rule out the likes of Kubota, Kioti, Tumosan or Armatrac.
