Appreciate all the advice so far. I didn't get the IH
1586 bought on auction so still in search for a tillage
tractor. Looking now at a 5288 and its in pretty good
shape. It has the cable park lock that I've read can
be a problem. Any thing else I should look for, pros
and cons. Thanks guys!
 
Have used a 5288 for plowing and pulling no till drill with I think its a very good tractor as can be seen they carried a lot of it onto the first Magnums.
 
I am more of a "green tractor" guy, but I do like the 50 series IH tractors. I have operated two 5288's and a 5488, as well as a few of the 86 series tractors. I enjoyed my time spent behind the wheel of all three of the 50 series IH tractors. Operating the 50 series, particularly the transmission, is superior to those in the prior series of tractors. I think you will be happier in the long run with the 5288 over the 1586, but that is my opinion.
