Always loved case tractors. I just bought a 1977 1070 myself. It's nice to see these old powerhouse tractors still being used today and getting the job done.
My dad used to run Case tractors. Started with 1370, 1570 w stars & stripes & then upgraded to the 2590. Also had a 2670 & upgraded to 4890. He still had the 2590 3 yrs ago when he sold his farm. Great tractors
I operated a Case 2670 on big wide single tyres ,it was a brand new tractor ,I put over eight thousand hrs on it over a period of time , it had good comfort and reliability with no problems pulling heavy loads constantly in heavy black soil in the middle of summer never overheating with the solid frame and four wheel steer I believe this was one really good tractor made by Case ,it's a pity you couldn't buy the same tractor today . Great tractor
By far the most impressive thing in this video is the farmers straight passes!! I had to drive for 3 hours the other day and I was glad I was a long way from a road because my line was horrible.
I hear you. I harrowed a field a few springs ago that had been in soybeans the year before and was covered in grass. The field was going to corn and I was harrowing it to knock out the rough surface left by NH3 application. I could not see where the 50ft drag harrow had been. By the time I was finished I was making a big arch across the field rather than going back and forth. It probably didn’t help that I was living streaming th-cam.com/users/liveQFQ4iy7G1to?si=tJtEhAWvoB6egaz1
I used a 1470TK. Under load, the turbocharger really sang on the 504 diesel. Tight steering was great after you got the hang of it. I’ve seen one online that someone rebuilt. It’s a beauty!
When I was a kid we had a brand new Case 2470. Seemed really big at the time but not compared to today's stuff. We had 1600 acres back in the '70-80s. I was about 10 years old when I started running it
Very cool. What implements did you your 2470? The 2470 inspired my interest in tractors and 4wds. My neighbor bought a 2470 and a 7 bottom Case 700 plow new in 1977. It was the first tractor I ever got to ride in.
me neither its quite cool that they used to do that i know ford did it with their tractors (9n 2n 8n etc) when they did the all gray to tan and red then went to white and blue
When I was young I looked at a 2470 & almost bought it then looked at an open station 1370 & almost bought it & then ran into a nice cab 1486 which I still have & use on bagger & manure spreader sometimes in winter when I don’t want to hog up my nicer tractors. That 1370 sure did shift nice but I was warned about their tranny by my neighbors & I got scared of them. Ended up buying one of the first big square balers around & wish I had that 2470 on the hills but then I heard they had brake issues. Great video!
That is a great history to hear. A 1486 with a Badger is a cool combo. That is a tractor and spreader I would like to feature. The first tractor I ever got to ride in was a Case 2470 when I just a few years old. My neighbor bought a 2470 new in 1977 with a 7 bottom Case 700 plow. They used the 2470 all the way through 2003. Today their big tractor is a Case IH 370 Steiger.
Had 2 in my county here in Virginia. Dad worked for a man that bought one of them new. It was a good tractor but it needed duals and it never had them so it would power hop pulling the big discs but that wasn't the tractors fault. Thanks for sharing the video.
It’s a neat part of Case IH history. Surprisingly there are several of these repaints out there if you. IH, Case and Steiger tractors were all included. Thank you for watching.
I think the stories have gotten mixed up over time. When the merger happened, the existing inventory of white hood/black belly Case 94 and 96 series had the white changed to red and the decals changed to CASE International. This work was all completed in Racine.
@@bigtractorpower any kind of older videos, like taken in the 90’s or 80’s. I know it’s the same tractors a lot of the time but something different about old footage lol. Awesome channel!!! 👏🏼
Personally I hate the black and the darker red, IH should be IH red and IH off white & case should be Power red and white, here in the UK the IH tractors went to the darker XL red & black chassis in 1985,very few liked the new colours. another very interesting video Jason,keep up the good work
Got a 2670 kicking around my farm. Doesn't do any work since we more bought it as part of a deal when helping a farmer retire and its in dire need of a cab kit and really a bunch of stuff, still though it pulls way harder than any 250 hp I've seen. Thing hadn't run in 15 years when we went to get it, but with a new battery it started up without missing a beat. The crab steering was certainly... interesting, but it just wasn't as reliable as fully articulated tractors. Had a 4494 and the steering was just a nightmare, like fullspeed on the road and then it'd go crab mode... though the 2670 has the cable steering so maybe that's more reliable (or less), powershift was a big problem on basically all those machines too.
Good rugged tractor! Had a 2670 and a 4694. Sure wish you could buy something simple and tough like this brand new, not the overpriced laden down with useless tech stuff we have today.
jason i may have an oppourtunity for you to come film my 9n if you want to do a ford n series history if you want when i get my 2 bottom plow and 6 ft disc after if you are interested you have filmed my garden tractor plowing at alvordton plow day if you remember that i was the guy with the little 16hp kohler john deere 300 with the homemade 3point
We had a 4100 Wheatland yellow and white the boss added a white cab it was 4 wheel steer and front end steer used for plowing . We needed to drop the transfer case and transmission to go through the gears you could barely hear the noise.
I went past there same day in semi hauling milk in Wooster ohio I went past there on 30A to get fuel at santmyer in town by fairgrounds and on way back from superior dairy in canton on way home
Very cool. The 870 and 770s are fairly rare because they were introduced in 1969 and replaced by the David Brown 1210 and 1410 in 1972. A Case IH 870 repaint I would say is a unique part of tractor history.
The 2670 was the biggest Case when it was introduced in 1974. I do have a video on the 2870 posted at th-cam.com/video/4xuuKPzw3zk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FTRAjox53ZkknJWj
I understand that the models 1370-2470 and now this 2670 have the same 8.3l 504 engine but they have different horsepower, what changes were there to increase the horsepower?
I think there is something to a "main frame" versus "articulated" tractor. An articulated tractor can't match a main frame in the traction department. This is done through proper weight transfer. Look at those new Claas tractors! 😉
No, Steiger took the easier and cheaper way out. They brought out a main frame tractor but then went with the articulated . I will put a Claas up against ANY articulated tractor of comparable horsepower. Articulated tractors simply cannot provide the built in working weight transfer that a main frame does!
It’s always neat to see a factory tractor. This 2670 really stands out in red and while it’s not factory it is part of Case IH history with the color change.
I use original company sales brochures to list a tractors specs in my videos. I wish I could post pictures on TH-cam in the replies. The Case 2670 brochure list right on the cover 256 engine hp and 221 pto hp.
This 2670 and the other repainted tractors don't look right at all. They need to be in their original factory colors. The only thing that looks correct on the red 2670 is the black smoke pouring out of the exhaust !
I always like to feature factory tractors but this was a great opportunity to feature a part of Case IH history that happened in the early days of the brands many people do not know about.

Always love to see Case tractors.
Me too. First tractor I ever got to take a ride on was a 2470 when I was little.
What a period accurate equip combo!! It's like watching an old VHS of your grandpa in the field.
That is great to hear. That is always my goal to recapture tractor and equipment history.
This was very cool to see. I love watching a chisel plow work and seeing it on an old classic like this was all the better.
👍👍. Tractors like the 2670 were built for tillage.

I had no idea Case IH had a repaint program shortly after the merger. That is very very interesting and I'd love to see more examples.
It’s an interesting part of the early days of Case IH. Thanks to Ohio Ag Videos I was able to feature this one. I hope to find more like.
Should of had Case IH decals. Paints wrong.

I actually like the white and black cases the best...
The 94 series are cool. I featured a Case 4894 earlier this year.
Love the drone shot at the wnd of the row! The 4 wheel steering was cool!
The 4 way steer is cool. The drone really helps show the function.
Nice fall tillage action😃👍 that color scheme looks interesting😉👍
Thank you for sharing👍👍
Fall tillage is one of my favorites to feature. The 2670 is not factory but it has a cool look to it in red.
Had 2 in my county here in Virginia. Dad worked for a man that bought one of them new. It was a good tractor but it needed duals and it never had them so it would power hop pulling the big discs but that wasn't the tractors fault. Thanks for sharing the video.
Very cool history. Thank you for sharing.
What an awesome representation of case IH . Still hard at work
Great video! The 2670 was really cool to film!
Im jealous looks like a good time in a cool tractor plowing all day!
It’s a fun day getting to run tillage.
I'm glad you talked about the reason some of these Case tractors were painted red I didn't know that thank you.

I would love to put 300hrs on this old girl every fall What a beast. That old iron is so cool!!
That’s about how long it would take to chisel this field alone with that little ripper. 😁
I can tell you never drove that old stuff. I’ll take the new stuff. I don’t miss those noisy,rough riding old tractors.
@@ralphllivrah9551 we had an old 2470 traction king. They are fun to drive. But yes the new stuff is awesome.
R 1:03 1:04 %😅--😮$ 1:12
Fascinating video of an old school workhorse!
It’s a cool tractor with some extra unique history.
Much prefer the original black and white colour scheme.
What a job it's doing Jason
The Traction Kings were very popular in the 70’s.
That’s a cool looking tractor, great video.
Thank you for watching. It was a cool find by Ohio Ag.
We had a 2290 and a 2590 both fantastic tractors.
Very cool tractors.
Nice tractor 🚜🚜🚜
Awesome video. I used to work on a farm in Tennessee 1970s & 1980s
Very cool. I live 20 miles from the TN state line.
She was a monster back in her prime years
Looks like a beast and without that garbage DEF. Love me some old school.
Old School all the way.
Great Video Drew, I've always loved case tractors but have never owned or driven one thanks for sharing
The first tractor I ever got to ride in as a kid was a new 1977 Case 2470 Traction King. Case built some good power house tractors.
Excellent video - thanks!
Thank you for watching.
Our neighbour had a 2470 case nice tractor
👍👍 The 2470 was the first tractor I ever got ride in and was the tractor that would inspire Big Tractor Power.
I would love to see some vintage videos posted on the channel if you have some! That would be awesome to see!
What vintage are you looking for?

The Traction Kings have a good sound. My neighor a 2470 on a forage harvester. Chopping would make it sing running up a good hill.

We own a 2290 painted red and black with 2294 decals. It’s an ok tractor. It was cheap horsepower for us
Thanks for that great video
Thank you for watching.
Good video.
The red paint probably gives it more power 😂 Regards from Down Under.
😁👍👍
Those old main frame case Traction King tractors gave superior traction over the articulated tractors of the day!
They were the top selling 4wd of 1976. It always neat to get to feature one.
I had a late model Case International 2096 4wD which was quite the beast…it was very difficult to stop the tires from turning! Lots of jam!
Top 🚜💪💪💪👍👍👍
Case tractor 🚜 2670 seems to be a fantastic and powerful machine I would like to drive one 1⃣.
They good 4wds. One of my favorites.
very cool to see these flagships of their day still earning a dollar
It’s always great to feature top 1970’s tractors.

Grew up in a 2670 my mom ran when I was a kid. Spent allot of hours in that tractor
Very cool. What implements did the 2670 run.
Hey! I made that 712 in Farming Simulator! Pretty fun to use.
Very cool. Nice to have a 712 in FS.
Don’t care what anyone says, you take care of an okd case tractor it will take care of you, only people that hated them didnt know how to shift them
👍👍
Always preferred the power red and white like the David Browns over here in Ireland.
David Brown tractors are nice. I hope to film a 1210 and 1410 some day.

Great video Jason. We finished our disk chiseling this past week in north central Indiana.
Very nice. Always good to complete tillage before the winter.

Thank you James.
Red tractors just look great. That being said, it still pains me to see a 2670 in that color. I want to like it and hate it at the same time.

When you say a White cab, do you mean color or do you mean a field boss cab?
Nice video.
I noticed he left a narrow strip on that one pass.
We still use a case 2590, matter of fact it has very low hours on its engine rebuild. Thanks btp.
Very nice. The 2590 is a cool Case tractor. The one that briefly appears in this video I filmed 13 years ago I’d really like to film one in 4K.
I understand the update paint but those tractors are super to be white just doesn’t look right red
👍👍👏👏

Very cool. It’s a small world in farming. Thank you for sharing.
Being from a family that had IHC ,Mcormick Deering tractors and machinery right from the 20s,It pains me to see a Case painted in IHC colours.
Seems like a lot of money for that tractor! Wow....how much would a Steiger go for in the same year?
Have and 870 case I believe to be factory repainted
Very cool. The 870 and 770s are fairly rare because they were introduced in 1969 and replaced by the David Brown 1210 and 1410 in 1972. A Case IH 870 repaint I would say is a unique part of tractor history.
What about the 2870 4-wheel drive case ?
The 2670 was the biggest Case when it was introduced in 1974. I do have a video on the 2870 posted at th-cam.com/video/4xuuKPzw3zk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FTRAjox53ZkknJWj
100 dolla bill says it aint got a lick of brakes
That seems to be a popular guess on the Traction Kings.
@@bigtractorpower never seen a 970 or 1175 with brakes either. And I've seen everything but the wind
case might have been on to something back then, well claas seems to think so at least
The Traction King was the top selling 4wd in 1976. The Xerion is a modern day example for sure.
I understand that the models 1370-2470 and now this 2670 have the same 8.3l 504 engine but they have different horsepower, what changes were there to increase the horsepower?
It is the fuel pump and the transmission that allows for additional power. IH and John Deere engines of the that era were the same as well.
I think there is something to a "main frame" versus "articulated" tractor. An articulated tractor can't match a main frame in the traction department. This is done through proper weight transfer.
Look at those new Claas tractors! 😉
You should probably look up the statistics. Steiger at least thought of exactly what you said.
I thought I was told that these tractors were weak mechanically and to avoid them. I'm in the hunt for old horsepower
They were the top selling tractor of 1976 for 4wds. They are still some good well cared ones out there.
Yeah, that horsepower rating out of the 504 Case was pushing the engine’s luck a little bit.
No, Steiger took the easier and cheaper way out. They brought out a main frame tractor but then went with the articulated . I will put a Claas up against ANY articulated tractor of comparable horsepower. Articulated tractors simply cannot provide the built in working weight transfer that a main frame does!
The color just throws me off lol. Prefer the original but it looks neat
It’s always neat to see a factory tractor. This 2670 really stands out in red and while it’s not factory it is part of Case IH history with the color change.
Too much tractor for that small of an implement, imo...
