David Brown 780 Tractor 1965


October 1965 saw the introduction of a whole new range of models in the colour scheme of orchid white and metallic chocolate brown, to mark the introduction of the 990, 880 and 770 Selectamatic tractors. The 770 was the smallest model in the range and was the first model to be fitted with the Selectamatic hydraulic system. It was powered by 37bhp 3-cylinder diesel engine and used a 2-lever, 12-speed gearbox as standard equipment. It success led to the Selectamatic system being used on the 880 and 990 models, along with multi-speed PTO and differential lock.
