Years ago I went to a dealer to buy a used manure spreader. We got to talking and I said I was looking for a really slow tractor for transplanting. He said I got the slowest I've ever seen here. It was either a 990 or 995 David Brown. Had a 3 speed transmission with a second gear shift for a high low range and then a third gear shift that was fast / slow. In 1 low slow it was really slow. I didn't buy it but now I've seen a couple of them for sale and I was wondering how reliable these tractors were, how available are parts, and do all of them have this transmission. They are pretty cheap and I don't need another tractor but could use a slower one. Any comments? Also when Case put their name on the 990 / 995 s did they continue this transmission?
Thanks
Phil
ps Well actually we all need more tractors. Isn't that what life is all about.

Good all around chore tractors.A little frustrating to work on.Can achieve some slow speeds with range gears.Differential lock on these units will get you out of most predicaments.
The 3 point hitch works well once you learn how to operate it.All the larger hp units have the a similar gearbox setup.Yes ,the ealy DB mdels (1210,1410) came in MFD.After the case aquisition in the late 70's David Brown knockoffs were sold under the CaseIH logo.(1494,1594etc)

Another question. Did the larger DBs also have this 12 speed transmission available (1200,1210, 1410 etc)? Was mfwa available?

They did not all have the 12 speed box, it was an option, the standard box only has 6 speeds. The 995/996/1200/1210/1212/1410 & 1412 were all available with driven front axles but they are not common.
