The David Brown 880 had three major versions during its 10-year production run. The first tractors were the 880 Implematic, also called the 880C/D. In 1964, the 3-cylinder engine replaced the 4-cylinder. These tractors were the 880E/F models. The paint scheme and hydraulic system were changed in 1965, with the 880 Selectamatic, also called the 880A/B.
