    Thanks Banggood for sending me the DJI osmo pocket camera, these cams are amazing, they stabilise the camera using a 3 axis gimbal. Check it out on the Banggood website - www.banggood.com/custlink/D33...

    My dad’s first tractor when I was a kid was a db case 990 around 1980 in New Brunswick, Canada. I was about 5 years old and it took both my feet to push in the clutch but I was able to harrow the fields to help out! Great videos! John from Canada!

  • @davidp8157
    @davidp8157 4 года назад +5

    Hi, see you are struggling for traction towing the nufeild setup even though you have reasonable rubber on the 990. If you bring your boom in and as near to vertical as you can in transit, you move your centre of pivot from half way from nuffield axle to boom, to closer to the nuffield axle, so instead of lifting the back of the 990, you can actually get traction, also, suspect there is little water in your rear tyres, we used to run water to top of rim plus half of the tread above the rim, hope this makes sense and helps, cheers keep up the good work
