The reason for the 26 (not the only one or the most significant one, I sure wouldn't think) is that the 826 is indeed between the 756 and the 856. The 856 had the big 407 IH engine, and the 826 had the 358 German engine, which is obviously larger over the 756's 310 German. It kind of stood alone, and filled a gap for many mid to large scale farmers who felt a 756 was a bit light but they didn't need a workaholic like an 856. It was available in gear and hydro trannys. We have a gear one, and it is one of the best tractors we have ever owned. The 1026 was available only in hydro, but was basically an 856 hydro. I don't know why IH didn't make an 856 hydro, but I think it was because the 856 was IH's prize machine for a short period of time and they did not want to provide drastic differences in models for that tractor. Just my thoughts. My neighbor bought a 1026 hydro, and loved it so much he bought another one less than a year later. I'm going to test drive it some day.
