Lovely engine sound , nice clean well presented tractor , but , does anyone else share my opinion based on my own 1490 , that these deceptively powerful old " Yorkie,s" really needed 2 more gears for road use , they,ve got just bags of power , but run right out of ratio on the road, synchro gearbox , I,ve never driven a Hydrashift on the road . Civil comments on here please .
I don,t know why this came about , but certain makes of tractors built during the very late 1970,s & early 1980,s were very slow on the road , I only know of 2 that were faster , Ford & although everybody laughed at them , Leyland . The Leyland was deceptively quick for it,s horsepower & size , & if you were handy with the spanners you could make dry - braked ones even quicker by changing the crown wheel & pinion . Was it more misguided government legislation , they can hardly blame the E.U. because the higher road speed tractors came from there ( 40 Kph gearboxes in Deutz,s ) . Anybody got any comments ? keep it civil .

Not hydro shift
Causewayfarming 4x4 no it’s a 1690t not a 1694 so it’s only got a sychro
My uncle had 1690 2 wheel drive and 1694 4wheel drive hydro shift back in the day
