DC 4x4 Diesels Tearing up Cambodia

I've had some inquires on how the Case DC 4X4 Diesels are working out. We've had a couple in the fields all spring. One change is that we took the turbo off. It was overkill for the weight of the tractor and added about $1000 to the price. The naturally aspirated Mazda truck engine puts out about 70hp at 1800rpm. Nice strong engine. The full time 4X4 is a big plus in the rice fields. Most of the tractors are sold with dozer blades on the front and disc plows on the back. we're selling them for about $7500 complete. See photo.

Yup, just 4 speeds, but we do have a good torque rise in that engine, so we use the old "Mack Truck" speil, when they sold their 5 speed tranny in their over-the-road tractors. "If you have enough torque you don't need gears". Not really true, but it sells tractors. Cambodians don't like to shift anyway, and by boosting the no-load rpm's to 1800 you get three field speeds. 1st gear was always kind of useless in the DC's anyway.

With diesel 3.00 per gallon here I can not haul anything myself very far myself. So the price of 1600.00 does not sound out of line.

That being said I am tractor rich and cash poor, but I think you have a great idea and good product.

Lets stay in touch.

I'll talk to someone who may have a idea. Can you send my more spec's.

I sure would like to see one them in a tractor pull up against a stock DC... The old DC could handle a disk in 3 gear, I'll bet that 4x4 really gets with it.

PS are looking for some rice combines?

It does look neat though.
