Folks I made a small mistake the 560 had a 6 cylinderengine in it not a for my mistake accidentally read my notes wrong while we were filming didn't catch it until it was too late we will get it edited least at some point here
My uncle had a 560 Farmall that I loved to drive even more than the conventional 660 and Farmall 1206 he had, and the 1206 had a cab but no AC. The 560 had a buggy top umbrella which was great because there was shade and sometimes a breeze that helped keep you cool. Being in Oklahoma there was always wind but it was not always cool in the summer. The 560 would do almost 20 mph in road gear, and using the brakes it could turn on a dime. Great for works row crop.
I have a 560 Farmall and absolutely love it. It has nice smooth 6cylinder power and works great on the blower for filling silo. The only thing I need to change is the back end needs a little more weight. It is a little light and spins out kind of easy. And yes, it absolutely flies in road gear.
Thanks for sharing. I remember when my Dad and I set up his cultivator. The first sweep set was top of the 4" of the 2x4. The second sweep the 2" of the 2x4. Thanks for the flashback.
I grew up on Farmall tractors. I learned how to let out a clutch (@ age 8 or 9) on a 1948 Farmall H, which is still in the family. I think my Dad learned to let out a clutch on that same tractor, & he turned 80 recently. I spent hours & hours on a H, 350, 806, 574, & 966 while growing up. While we had the 806 & 966, our neighbor across the road had the 856 & 986. They were all great tractors then & still today. Most of these tractors have gone on to other homes, but my parents still have the 1948 H that my grandpa bought new in upper Michigan & later brought down to their new small Wisconsin dairy farm in 1952. I remember county fairs having tractor pulls that were dominated by Farmall tractors!
I learned to drive on a 140..i will never forget driving around on the sand hill listening to Hot Fun In the Summertime on the fender AM radio ....we also had a 560 and a 806
My grandfather had a Farm all Super A and it pulled a 2 disk plow with claws that stuck out in front of the drive wheels and bar thar went from the plow wheel to the steering wheel of the tractor, and had a farm all tricycle Super M that pulled a 3 disk plow from the middle of the tractor! Farm all tractors my number 1 favorites!!
i can't tell you how surprised I was that you picked the Regular as number 1 absolutely agree with your choice. I think that the regular and the F series Farmalls are the most beautiful tractors ever built, but then I favor the look of automobiles of the 1920's and steam locomotives of the same era. Streamlining hid the beauty of all things mechanical. I really enjoy your presentations , keep up the good work
Even though I bleed Persian Orange, I also have a soft spot for Farmall. I have many friends that, between them, own most if not all of the tractors in this video-many of them still working tractors. When I forwarded it to them, they all replied basically the same-I like this guy, I'm subscribing now! Another excellent video!
@@garybarrett6581 If I had the space I'd have 1 of every model! On the other hand, I'm just thankful to have space for the 2 that mean the most to me and my family. They're both being restored to their former glory now as time and money allows. I'm actually considering adding a bit of metal flake when it's time to paint them. I probably won't but damn they'd look good if I do! TAKE THAT John Deere lovers lol!
First tractor I think of when it comes to "old school" is the farmall h, second is the farmall m. 3rd is green and it's the John Deere G. Every farm I ever seen up to the turn of the 21st century had 1 or multiples in that order. Now days most sadly wouldn't dream of climbing on a tractor that didn't have a cab, AC, and a radio 😒. I still use my H and M 😁
I grew up on a farm in the 50s & 60s!!! My father had several farmall tractors that I can remember. To start out with was the B tractor and that one was used for racking hay and pulling wagons where they needed to be and dad had a H that was used for the heavier work and my Grandfather had the big Boy he had the superM that was the best tractor that was a horse. Then dad got a 350 farmall but that wasn't the tractor that M was lol then in 1964 dad got a 806 farmall that changed the whole farming purduction dad got much bigger in the field work but then in 1968 my dad sold out. That when a lot of the farmers where going out. Well I'm 70 and I can still to this day remember everything about the farms we farmed. God Bless and keep up the good work.
Awesome video. I have owned at least 50 red tractors. The only thing I would change is replace the 560 with a 806. I would be in the minority who really understand the 5488. My mistake in life was to sell the one I had.
In the early 70's I worked at a local cemetery. We had 2 1960 Cub's with 72 inch mower decks underneath. For the 5 years I worked there the Cub's never failed to start and were used every day. Their only downtime was for routine maintenance which mostly consisted of oil changes. We greased them every morning before work, and cleaned them afterwards. We had 2 Ford 2000's that were constant trouble, but not the Cubs.
I have such fond memories of the Cub. My dad always said the Cub was used to mow golf courses. Watching him mow for 25 years with it on their land, I believe it. It had a Woods belly mower and was just AWESOME. To this day, nothing cuts their land like that Cub did. As my dad got older he felt he deserved a new tractor, so he bought a new Kubota in the early 2000s. I think he regretted that decision later...
I grew up running a D-17 and 7080 Allis along with a 1568 Binder on our family farm. On the other hand, my uncle always ran Fords so I spent a lot of time on them too. They were always tough, reliable tractors.
Sympathies lol. Had a Jubilee with a loader on it. Definitely wasn't anywhere close to powerful enough or tough enough for that. Also picked corn with a one row mounted picker on it for a couple seasons which was another job for which it was way too small and badly equipped. Poor thing had a tough life. So glad when it was finally replaced by an IH 574 and later an IH 684.
My grandfather had a Farmall F-20 or Regular (I’m not sure of the model Farmall it was after all these years) that was the first rubber tired tractor in Texas County, Oklahoma. It didn’t run anymore when I was growing up, as I would have enjoy driving it.
Very good. Coulkd you cover the fiasco of the 560 problems. I have a 560 and understand that it was "repaired" because it has a triangle stamped on the serial number plate., What I had heard is it nearly bankrupt the company repairing them.
I'm one who voted for the Super M. Owning one of those is definitely on my bucket list!!!!! Also no list could be completed without the H, Cub, or A. Lots of tobacco farms still use Cubs, As, and 140s today. Loved it ❤️
What about the 656? We had 2 of them and they were super reliable and did about everything on our farm. Was the first tractor I learned to drive by myself.
The 60 series tractors also had Torque Amplifier you could engage if the tractor started pulling hard to get a little more power, and then disengage when it was no longer pulling hard.
I have a video idea for you. What is the difference between the Ferguson tractors and the n series tractors? They both look very similar. It would be neat to see a comparison video.
marks mopar best one on my list! 560 and M’s also. 826 German diesel also very good but grew up loving the 806 still own one with turbo. 1206 is another great tractor, basically 806 with turbo.
@@johnhalter445 all good tractors,I personally like the 1256 and super h the best.i just mentioned the 806 because that was one of the first good big tractors.i also like my hopped up old m with the nine speed and power steering but it's kinda hard on gas.
The old 660 was the flag ship of the 60 series was the first factory turbo tractor,the neighbor had one that made a monkey out of a 4020; 930 and a 1030 in a water hole in a demstration of the new power of the mid 60’s, the neighborhood was impressed with the IHC 806 and 1206; the old 660 out pulled the others with out hydraulics hooked up IHC sold several 8 and 12 from that few days work out
Crazy D. Just had a point something out and this video you just made about formals the 560 never had a 4-cylinder engine in it. I repeat never. Had a 4-cylinder engine in it.
David Zimmerman also, the Cub had flathead 4, it's hard to keep it all straight. The 560 didn't replace the 460, it was a different tractor, they also made a 660 wheatland morphed from the 600/650 made prior.(all three had 6 cylinder.)
@@Colt-tf6xf I am referring to this video that I just watched. About the 10 most popular farmalls You stated that the 560 Farmall was released with a 4 cylinder engine is incorrect. I was just trying to help you out. So you could correct yourself before you have a bunch of keyboard Cowboys Make a bunch of rude comments to you of your intelligence. But I wasn't thinking. You can block those comments and we will never see them or know that they were ever made. Henceforth you want to talk about the 460 and some other tractor and about a cub engine. Just how you handled what I said Show me enough about the kind of person that you are. And I will not watch your channel anymore, You cannot admit when you're wrong. And that's okay. Because I don't have to surround myself with your ignorance. You have a blessed day.
David Zimmerman I believe you have me mixed up with a different replier, I most certainly agreed with you. I was lucky to have a day in a tractor junk yard in the midwest and had hours to walk around looking at nearly all makes and models and learned a whole bunch just looking. I remember seeing a farmall 350 diesel with a TA, and it was direct diesel start instead of the gas type of the M,400,and450, sort of a diesel H with a TA. I am by no means a keyboard warrior, I can't work a computer well enough to launch an attack.
David Zimmerman I think I figured out what happened, the reply button I hit went to you instead of the guy putting the 4 cyl into a 560 and the ohv in the Cub, so sorry, but I checked my comment and failed to see any offense to you, you were right and I agreed with you. btw I didn't agree with the top 10 choices, no 706, no 656, no 1468, no 15-20 from GreenAcres.(The HoytClagwell was also portrayed as a Fordson and a JohnDeere model D)and no 666. Flawed top 10 list.
The H and Super H were the best selling tractor and had to be Number one. Best size, economy and versatility I've had all letter series listed and farmed with all of them.
Good video. The 560 had a 6 cylinder engine and replaced the 450. J dont think that any tractors newer than the 06 series(706 806 etc) had the name farmall on them. I have seen 1 806 that only had international on the hood.
yes you are correct it was 6 not a for they were supposed to be a little tag that ran underneath that caught my mistake but for some reason it did not come out and editing something we will fix'd do pardon
I'd like to own an AV someday just to tinker with. My grandfather had two of them for cultivating, and my great-grandfather also had two of them. My neighbor even mows his lawn with one. In my neck of the woods (New Jersey vegetable country), everyone and their dog has either an A or an AV. Don't really see AV's anywhere else in the country, it seems.
The M has to win, it was the greatest and 80 years later many are still in service never been apart. The 560 comes in second but my favorite is the 806. The 66 series are amazing power, the TA was the weak part but I also loved it.
yes you are correct it was a six-cylinder not afore I made that mistake when we were filming there was supposed to be a little disclaimer that went underneath for some reason it doesn't pop up after editing I do apologize but thank you for being so vigilant and catching that
The F20 I believe came out as an all fuel tractor and able to run on low octane fuels such as kerosene, fuel oil, and distillate tractor fuel as well as gasoline.
I was watching this, asking myself how in the world do you pick just 10? International was a company that was on the forefront of agriculture technology right from the start with the reaper. For the sake of this argument, let's just start with the original farmall. That was great, so the improvement of it was the f-20. Let's make one a little bigger and one smaller (f-30&f12/f14). Their entire line from start to finish was like that. All excellent, all an improvement over the last model .
@@justinstearns9723 Stiff engaged quickly and tractor jumped around if you weren't ready for it. Never talked to an M owner who didn't talk about the wicked clutch.
Fun stuff, guys. But where's the 2+2 (3588, 3788), the 606 (or 656), 1466, and the popular 806? All more significant than most of the ones listed that were on steel. The 1468 was cool too, but neither popular nor successful. ;-) At least one of the WDs probably belonged on the list too. WD 40 as the first diesel maybe?
We had a 560 I hated it because of the use of glowplugs and the operators station platform would get very hot doing field work but it would run almost 30 mph on the highway
@@CrazyDEquipment that's Ok, International Harvester didn't keep very good records. The diesel was very rare. A restored one will easily bring over 15,000 .
I have a neighbor that had one in parts...He tried to sell it to me when I had my SMD....At the time the last thing I wanted was the same tractor w a T/A.....
I also vote the farmall H. I have 9 of them to spend money on & learn about them. Working on them, & getting some use out of them. My 1939 (H), s/n 6877 runs & drives like it was never used much. I don't have a super h yet, or an H with an M& W hand clutch. ( M ) tractor's are also a favorite, then super M and most favorite super mta . My dad that dairy farmed in 1950's & 60's & 70's, cracked the block on a plain M farmall , he replaced the blockbut never used it to run a #16 john deere chopper to chop corn silage any more as it would over heat. the super mta didn't have that problem . when I drive in 5th gear out on the road I wish farmall would of put a rear view mirror on them. lol safer & easier
@@spike3082 Most of them ended up repowered with 6 cyls. or scrapped I am told. Bottom end of the DB550V just didn't take being flat out all day long. Ours had been briefly twin turboed before we had it. Only for one afternoon, apparently, which was enough to convince the original owner it wasn't a good idea. lol.
My grandad purchased on of the first 560 diesels with a wide front end...I hated those damn glowplugs, also disliked how hot the floorplate got when pulling the TA was not very durable it was a weak point in the tractor
I disagree, i was a parts person at a IH Dealership and the H,M, Super M were some of the most used tractors of the old series. The 560, 460 and 400 weren't far behind. Of course this is based in the Midwest region.
Yes to 560 was 6 cylinder there was a comment and at the top to let everybody know that I accidentally misspoke there and we didn't catch it until it was way too late sorry about sorry about that
1206 indeed. Ours was the most versatile tractor used on our farm in the 1980s. Ran planter, harrow, cultivator, and pulled an IH 914 combine. The 1466 probably would have more easily run the combine, but dad always said the 1206 had better gearing, and the Year-A-Round cab gave it better visibility.
