Case 1194

The Case 1194 was part of the renowned David Brown-built tractor range produced in the UK during the late 1970s and early 1980s, following Case’s acquisition of David Brown Tractors in 1972. Manufactured at the Meltham factory in West Yorkshire, the 1194 combined British engineering heritage with Case’s growing global influence.

Powered by a robust 4-cylinder diesel engine producing around 80–85 horsepower, the 1194 was known for its reliability, simplicity, and strong pulling power—making it a popular choice for mixed farms across the UK and beyond. It featured the trusted David Brown Selectamatic hydraulic system, giving operators precise control over implements, and a comfortable “Q-cab” that was ahead of its time for visibility and operator protection.

Today, the Case 1194 stands as a solid example of the transition era between classic David Brown tractors and the modern Case IH machines that followed—valued by collectors and farmers alike for its durability, heritage, and honest working character.
