David Brown Legacy:
David Brown was a British tractor manufacturer known for robust and reliable agricultural machinery.
880 Series Placement:
The 880 series represented a mid-range tractor offering from David Brown during the 1960s and 1970s, bridging the gap between smaller utility tractors and larger row-crop models.
Production Period:
Likely produced during the 1960s and early 1970s, preceding Case's full integration of David Brown operations.
Case Acquisition:
David Brown was acquired by Tenneco (which owned Case) in 1970, leading to the 'Case David Brown' branding.
