When referring to these tractors when did the pronunciation of an 806 become 8 oh 6 instead of 8 zero 6. I have heard at unveiling ceremonies for these tractors that the speakers referred to them as the new zero 6 line up. Just curious

I have no idea but I remember the first 806 coming on the truck and we promptly took it down to the county fair grounds for exhibit. I would say it is merely a matter of a one syllable word instead of two although technically it is a zero and not and OH.

I think the 7oh6 is a North American dialect. Our UK YTs would say 7zero6.

If you really want to sound goofy, call it an "eight-hundred six."
