Really enjoyed your commentary walking through the tractors. The Superman comparison was hilarious. Biggest drawback on the 15’s was only having 3 gears instead of 4. That sure seemed to hinder their popularity around here. It did sound good.
Having grown up on a dairy farm in Maine, front wheel assist is nice for turning on hills and holding you back, but we didn’t get our first one until about 2008 with our JD 4055. The same goes with a loader when driving into a pile of corn silage, but we used an old Ford 4500 until we got a skid steer
To be honest there were a lot of tractors I would own . A Cub with 3 pt' would be nice but i'm not sure how the pto would hook up . Your right I would rather buy a tractor where someone else has done all the work lol . I figure you would be in planting mode .Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend !
Thanks Gino for posting. My all in expense to take truck and trailer would be about $300, so the Cub and the 135 would have gotten bid up some. Might as well take something home !
4:32 That 656 was at an auction close to me here in Northeastern Pa. Crazy how it made its way out west 😂. She may look rough but it didn't need either to start and sounded pretty good, all it took was some glow plugs (how it should be!).
I liked the 560. it looked good to me. Same with the 1566. The 1066 hydro with the front wheel assist was ordered for a special job. There are collectors here in Alberta who have a 1026 hydro with a front wheel assist, and it was ordered to pull a flail type ditcher. My grandpa also built a flail type ditcher and patented it, and he used a 656 hydro on his. I like the cabs on the 66 series, actually better than I like the 86 series cabs. On the bucket list is our 1066, and we're going to take off the cab without AC and put on a cab with AC, but it will have a cab. I really like that tractor. The tractor I would have bought at that auction is the cub. I have a job for a Cub or Super A. I bought a belly mower but it's a 5' and it's too small for my 240 as my 240 is wider than 5'.
As the only tractors ive had any experience with over here 🏴 guess i would have gone for the Ford 7700 s an the little 135 👍 although the 1566 was a mean looking machine 🤔 Red Power 💥💪👍
That 1066 fwd hydro probably was used for either a state or county tractor for a v plow or a blower , batwing mower . Also would be nice with fwd for planting in hills , spreading manure, pulling a forage chopper , loader , or like others have said veggie farming
@@glennschlorf1285 it sure does. I’ve got lots of jds and when they got that much blow by there getting tired. My 2355 has 19k hours on it. It has blow by just like that 4240.
We have a 786 that looks like the 1066 We used as our main loader tractor when we first got it now we use it for raking hay and on the feed wagon in winter
That 656 came from a farm across the hill from ours, it was their big tractor until they got an 886, the 656 was traded in to rovendales for a brand new new holland with cab and bucket
I don't know why the cub would be bigger than normal, but I have a 1952 Super A that has Farmall 140 rims on the rear. so it could have bigger tires or slightly bigger rims, I have never heard of a High Crop Cub, but if there is, I sure would like to see one.
I thought the 1066 being hydro and fwa was definitely strange. I went yesterday and checked everything out. 656 wasn't anything to look at, but seemed to start nice surprisingly. That 1566 has been forsale in andover for about 2 years
There is a lot of people that use the bigger hydro tractors for tillage work family friend has hydro 100 it was there main big tractors for years they still mow hay,pull chopper and do most of there planting with it I have never ran or owned one but they love there hydros.
If you can get a documented restored tractor, you’ll definitely save money over redoing it yourself. I run away from Shade Tree mechanics who tell me they rebuilt the motor themselves. It may be good or it may be 💩
I can see that you never ran a tractor in any areas where cattle graze all day and every day so that when it rains and you need to move feed out to them...... those two wheel drive tractors are not even going to pull themselves downhill.
That engine on that 1566 wasn't rebuilt. Why, if it was rebuilt, that engine would have been painted red because whenever someone rebuilds an IH engine, they usually paint them just to make it look new. Actually, they would repaint the hole tractor, just not the engine, the hole tractor, and you are right that 1566 is a muscle tractor with high horsepower, and it has about 150 to 160 horsepower
