I have driven the 1066s. I was younger then, and don't think I could hold out sunup to sundown on one of those anymore. Tillage is what these tractors were designed for. I never drove a faster tractor on the hiway. These were hard working tractors for people in good phyiscal shape. You had to be to drive them 6 days a week. They had lots of unique problems,but they were one of the cheap tractors that were available when there was a shortage of better tractors,and because they were not designed for comfort, they had to change them to try to keep from going out of business. The '86s were a bit hard to drive and operate themselves, and then the fact is this: Case had to bale them out! I think the 1066 is a fun tractor to have if you don't have to do much with it, or try to get someone to fix the TA. Today they sell anywhere from $2500.00-$4000.00 Don't pay too much! This is from my personal aching body experience! Barney
