I am looking at a Case I H 885 w/mfwd,no loader, British built tractor. Looking for general comments on this tractor or similar models. Checked Y T archives: very few posts, althought Mud Cat thought it was hard to keep clutches in them, had tranny problems and were hard to work on. Other posts talked about brake problems. Looking for insight/experances with these units -- good --bad--what ever. At 72 HP it seems like they wouild be the perfect loader tractor. Thanks

I've had my 685 fwd for a year now and am very pleased. when i bought it i talked to the previous owner and he said he's put 2 clutches in it in 5200 hrs.. He also said it'll be due for one in the near future so i bought it accordingly. The dealer threw $400 dollars off the price i had already dickered him down to. I am still running that clutch as I haven't felt it slip yet. It does have a issue with the brakes too. I have to rebuild a master cylinder. they make a great loader tractor IMO. I move 1800lb. round bales with mine.

Well people don't realy think about the life of a utility tractor when useing them for loader work and the clutch takes a beating and the shift linkage gets hammered around and the brakes get used more so those are the ware points all in all they are a good tractor the problem come from the fact that they are not a Cat 988 loader and people try and make them do what a industral loader was built for so basicly it will break .
