Top Ten International Harvester 

Great video. I Love and appreciate the 2+2's! Always tops in my book!

Thanks for the great video. Many of us don't realize how much work it takes to put together a video like this, of this caliber.

I love them all but the 1086 is my favorite - they were new when I was working for IHC in the late 70s. Good size, power and balance - lots and lots were sold and some are still in use today.

856 is hard to beat, but the 5488 is like heaven and Imho the nicest looking tractor ever made. Head and shoulders above a 1586 but I liked it too. If you want parts for 88 series see Triple R Tractors and some beautiful pictures.

Hi Dave I love this video I have a special international 300 I love made from 1955 to 1956 she runs great

I would have thought the 6788 would have been #1 because its so cool

I needed this video. Have a Happy Fourth! Go have some fun

I remember my grandpa telling me about the WD-9 he had in the 1940s. That and his Oliver were his favorite tractors he ran.

Can't beat a good old 66 series hey big fella they and the 06 56 created the start of the big frame tillage/row crop tractors e.g. the magnum

Thank You

International. 606. Straight 6 Gas with a high lift - Awesome Dependable Tractor - from running a Haybine to moving dirt # powerful !

Great video

Good job with the list C D,but leaving out Legendary super durable *806 is odd also not to be picky but the V8 in the 4786 was not great as well the awesome Td24 was super cool but the engine had ,some issues, really glad to see 1206 and 1066as they are great tractors, anyway thanks for a good video Dave,all the best.

I am a new comer to this channel so I did not know about voting and such, good video though. A couple I think should be on the list. The 15-30 /22-36 and the 10-20.

International shot themselves in the foot with their late adoption of the three point hitch. Many farmers in my area had used the old M and H Farmalls for years, but had also started using Ford and Ferguson tractors for many chores, and had grown accustomed to the three point hitch. International pushed their 2 point Fasthitch, and most people simply didn't want it. People had plows, disks, mowers, and many other pieces of three point equipment. When their old utility tractors wore out, they didn't want to mess with something that didn't accept their implements. Allis Chalmers was never as popular as several other makes, but they made the matter even worse when they started building so many with their snap couple hitch. But this didn't have the impact that Internationals stubborn refusal to go with what people wanted. As a result, International utility tractors were virtually invisible on the small farms of America. AC, JD, Ford, Massey Ferguson, and countless others had the three point that everyone wanted. In my part of the country, fairly small farms are the norm, and utility tractors rule the landscape. And International simply didn't exist in the market as far as the farmers were concerned. I believe this was among the worst mistakes any machinery maker ever made.

The 3588 was actually the most versatile (and popular) out of the 2+2s. The 7288 and 7488 were the coolest (in my opinion anyways lol), as there were only 19 and 16 of them made, respectively. Nothing against the list, I know its one people vote on, just thought I'd put it out there.

Hey there crazy d, I think at least an honorable mention would be in order for the 4366. The first 4wd tractor Steiger produced for IH. The history of these tractors are quite unique, being IH was the company that actually kept steiger from going bankrupt! Steiger had a contract with IH to build around 300 of these units a year for 3 years. It was based on the cougar series frame with the IH 466 motor and IH front and rear ends. Yes people did bitch about axles failing, but if you actually pulled an implement that it was rated for instead of overloading it you didn't run into that issue! It was a great partnership for both companies at the time cause IH was trying to break into the articulated 4wd tractor scene at the time, and steiger was about ready to bankrupt out of that same scene! Great story of 2 companies that needed each other to keep on keeping on!!

I def agree with 1066 being #1 and 1256 but i cud have found some better ones for the other 8 lol. Thanks for vid

The 1086 and the 1066 where in the best spots

1066 all the way

Would be interesting which John Deer tractors, Keating would pick as top ten.

We have an old 2504 on our hunting property to cut the fields. I've unstuck the engine twice and rering'd it due to water intrusion. Old girl still runs like a top!

As a non farmer, I am shocked at the high prices for these nice tractors. I wonder what the service life would be on these machines? 10 years?

The 806 should’ve been #1, it’s the most versatile tractor they made (in my opinion)

Nice veido you missing 1486 we had one it was a awesome tractor

Why No European IH the 1455Xl was a beast, and far more relaible than the 86 and 88 series. Drowe one with 17000 hours on the clock, she was old but still providing 186 on the Pto

I agree with most but what about the hydro powers -great pto tractors balers chopper feedwagons

What about top ten white and versatile Tractors?

Great video but you are missed informed on the WD9. They produced fifty hp I know this because I own one

Not sure how a list like this doesn't have either the H or M. The H is the best selling model tractor of all time selling over 391,000 units. The M didn't sell quite as well, "only" 270,000 units. Between the 2 over 660,000. That is a lot of tractors. as someone that spent my growing up years driving an H every day there is a good reason it sold so well.

I am subscribing in hopes I can fix the many errors in your next list, lol. Your voters seem to pick tractors rare and great collecting ones. Definitely not the best in its day tractors. A quick look at numbers sold would have been a better more accurate list. But don’t get me wrong loved the video! But skipping the M and 806 was a huge mistake.

The 1086 is a GREAT!!! tractor we have one

1455XL is the best, no doubt

if you were a newby with 5 acres what tractor would you suggest? I need something that gives me value for my money and is easy to repair with parts cheap and easy to find. thanks

question I think tractor is a 1956-1959 international torque amplifier and only Mccormick farmall letters in white stripe on hood is only markings left. it's tricycle. know anything about them?

Why did I did I ever sell my Hydro 100?

Sad to see the 444 didn’t make the list. :(

Crazy D, you could bring the values to current day, so it would be easier to compare.

I was sad I didn't see a 444 or 484

New to the channel has there been an allis chalmers video

IH 674 utility tractor

High Fructose Corn Syrup is a real problem in this country.

It was good maybe in the future you could say what are the failure in each of them I have a 504 I would like to know what the problem with them and other tractors to

Queridos gordos; me suscribi y los felicito. Tambien yo soy entusiasta de los IHC ,Bien olvidastes el 22 36 para mi el mejor tractor de IHC se construye desde la decada del 20 hasta la decada del 30 y se vende masivamente a Rusia donde fue copiado y dio base a los tractores rusos ucranianos y rumanos Universal.- El 2236 se vuelve w40 y da origen luego enlos años 40 al W9 y wd9 Deberia ser el Nº1 en la lista

How about top ten John Deere after the 1970 ‘

504 was biger

7500 smackers for a 2+2, eh?

Was that actually the price of the 6788, $7500.00?

Wht bout the 1568 diesel

Can't take the music er noise

how about the 300 utlty im restoring my granpas old tractor its a 1956

$7500 for the 6788?

You lost me at $7500 for a 2+2.

Your intro needs to be longer...

No 1566, 806 or Hydros? Obviously the people voting on this list don’t know anything about IH. 1086 #2? Are you kidding? The 86 series was the beginning of the end for IH. The roughest riding tractors ever. IH was the king of the tractor world with the 66 series - the 86 series was a mistake from which they’d never recover.

Cub lo boy where
