We were given a CASE 260 CVX for a few days to try and do a review, and this is what I found and thought of it. #videodiary #oddlysatisfying #farming #workingfarm #agriculture
Great review of the tractor, interesting to see the similarities between them all. Thanks for all the videos this year, looking forward to the coming year . 👍
My concern about all this technology on tractors is the ability for dealers to maintain them Happy New Year Simon looking forward to next years updates
You certainly need good backup from the dealer also I think a comprehensive warranty for a few years is required on these high tech tractors. Happy New Year to you too 😊.
Would you have it over a Fendt? I've got a 728 but was impressed with the quality of the case 260 shame i didn't get a demo to see what the fuel usage was like.
@@Farmer_phil without wanting to upset anyone, I personally prefer the Fendt, nothing comes close to the engine/gearbox interaction and other things, but the case is a good tractor and ticks a lot of boxes as I said in the review.
@ That’s good to hear, had fendts for 20 years now and swapped the 724 gen 6 for the 728 and it’s amazed me how much better than the 724 it is, the price is the worrying part now!
pity you didn't show us where the air & cab filters are & ease of getting to them to blow them out. Also how easy is it to get to the dip stick, does the mud guard pull back or is access from the front of the machine. Does the seat swivel round in both directions? Does it have a fridge in it?. I did like the tool box & storage compartments. All these electrics are fine when working but very expensive when they go wrong as I know only to well, it doesn't matter what colour machine it is
Yes probably should have done more on the maintenance side. As I said on another comment a good comprehensive warranty is a must on a modern high tech tractor, with good dealer backup for peace of mind and fixed running costs.
Would it be in front if you had to buy it with your money??? The £ difference is considerable and can’t be ignored in this new age of farming without subsidies.
@@VictoriaHelen1972fair comment, you might be right and I would chose the Case, but in my opinion, for the purpose of review, the Fendt is a better tractor, but I’m certainly not knocking the Case.

Thanks, your welcome 😊
Excellent review Simon. Thank you for this years vlogs and here is to more of the same next year. Happy New Year to you, the staff and families.
Thank you 😊 Happy New Year to you too.
Interesting and thorough review. Looks good tractor but prefer the green ones. 👌
Lighter shade or darker shade of green? 😂
@JDautopower Fendt, Drove a new 310 then upgraded to a 311, certainly well before there time all those years ago.
@@PeterGunton agreed on the Fendts being before there time, and being better.
Hope you had good Christmas Simon and happy new year
Thanks Pete, Happy New Year to you too.

@ yes they certainly aren’t cheap tractors! But build quality is high and should last many years if serviced properly.

It has a small cool box on the left hand side if I remember and the seat did swivel both ways.
Good look round the Case, honestly can’t get over all these settings 😂 there all the same, nice looking tractor though , a better grade of new Holland
Thanks😊
how does the case compare with the fendf?
It compares very well to be honest. But for me the Fendt is still in front of it.

Far to much technical now maybe best to get back to the old days ,happy new year
You certainly need a laptop to help service/fix them.
Happy New Year.
