Hi, I am loking for a small sized tractor for showing & plowing competitions. Which is the best to suit my needs - Deere BR or Case R? Looking to import one from USA to England - current values would be welcome - also any dealers who ship to England on a regular basis. Thanks for your comments.

Hi cdmn, thanks for your reply. Been offered Case R older restoration & off farm Allis WF both in England. But the spares situation worries me. Am restoring Fordson Major right now, spares available but its costing a fortune.
JD BR is looking favourite, would like to hear about values in US and people who ship to England. All replies appreciated from BR owners and enthusiasts. David email flatfender@arepo.com

Canada is being rapidly stripped of its old tractors, but that's where you'd find the most BR's and R's. In the US most tractors were row-crops. I just sold a 1940 RC with 2 row cultivator for $950.00. It needed radiator repair and an engine overhaul plus paint and tires. If you don't get other replies, please mail me direct. I know of one or two places that ship JDs and Fordsons to UK and Australia by the container full.
My uncle did essentially all his farming with a BR on rubber and a team of horses(1936-56). The overwhelming advantage with the JD is that heritage parts are so readily available, including direct from the dealer. The Case R is a very nice tractor with a smooth running Waukesha engine. However, it is more of a struggle to find restoration parts. It must mean something that JI Case and John Deere were the last two American brands to remain standing. Now Case is also swallowed up.
Don't overlook the other small brands such as Allis, Oliver, Minneapolis. Our club is offering a General GG as the prize tractor this year.
