110 horse - is that right? That would put it a hair above our 856 and 966. I'm betting ours probably had just as much power from increased rearend efficiency, though.

I do remember when they came out as i got to drive the vary first one around here wright off the truck . Then i told my boss about it and he had to see it . He drove it and bought it before it was showen at the Canfield fair in Sept or 63 . He let the dealer show it during the fair but at 11:00 P m. Labor day evening it was on the truck and off to his farm . By Wednesday the new five bottom plow was hooked to it and it was doing the fall plowing . Friday afternoon My uncle came up to Howard's farm to see this new BIG tractor and old Kenny the farm manager let my uncle plow with it . Saturday morning i was with my uncle when he and i went to the other I H dealer and they were just unloading one off the truck and my uncle bought it and it was at the farm Saturday after noon and hooked to the tater harvester . It was the first tractor that could pull the harvester on the hilly farms with out a second tractor hooked to it . They were awesome tractors . Going from a 560 Diesel to and 806 was unreal. Pulling five bottoms at five to six Mph and pulling a 16 foot disc. When spring came a 706 Diesel was added With a set of four bottoms . Coming from where i first started plowing when i was around eight or nine running and Oliver OC 3 pulling two bottom drag plow following and Oliver OC 6 with three bottom three point plows with it following a D4 cat pulling five bottom drag plows then up to the 460 and 560 to the 806 and the 706 Almost light speed from the turtle pace with crawlers .

And NO you can not have mine . After all the 806's that i have bought i have one and i finally figured out how to hang onto one . I would go to sales and if one showed up i usually brought it home with me , I would get it in the shop and first thing was to strip all the sheet metal off and give it a three or four hour hot water with lots of soap and a good risen then i would fix replace anything that needed fixed or replaced . Maybe a new clutch and T/A engine rebuild what ever it took then a really nice paint job new seat decals if the tires were less the fifty % then it got four new tires as this one was going to be MINE , ya wright it was mine till someone saw it and they would ask the big question HOW MUCH . And i would grab and off wall figure out of thin air and usually high but they still would buy it and i was back to looking again . And like always i would find another and do it all over again. Well i had this one that i really did a super job on and some guy came into the shop one day and asked about the 806 setting out ft. , Told him it was mine , how much ?? It is NOT for sale , Well what would you take for it IT IS NOT FOR SALE Well what do you want for it . Kept trying to tell him that i did not want to sell it . But he kept on and here i go again i grabbed a number out of thin air and said 8750 and i got a OH and he turned and walked out the door , as i was chucklen to myself thinking i showed him . Twenty min. maybe a half hour went by and here he comes again and says how do you want the check made out . Yep sold it . Then i found the one i still have . The secret to keeping one is don't give it a bath , don't paint it make sure it is so ugly that NOBODY even looks at it and that one you can keep . Yep i fixed everything that it needed and it runs great has the most pony power of all that i have had . It was also the same with the 706's as a normal week for me was i would buy noless then two a week sometimes six to eight and i would sell them just about as fast.

You guys that had/have one - fast hitch or three point? The video shows the option of either.

Ah fast hitch. The hitch that should have been king. Whenever I have to hook up a three point implement, it's grumble time! Though I've gotten better at it over the years.

Yup, they were playing numbers games even back in the 1960's.

People act like it's a new thing.
