Wardner: I've often wondered that myself,we had planetary on Farmall 300 and clutch type on 560. I realize this is not a fair accessment but the planetary was far less troublesome than the clutch type in our situation. One has to bear in mind the 300 was very close to factory hp while I had the 560 turning 90hp. About the heaviest pto work 300 ever did was haybine and baler while the 560 did forage harvester close to 10 years and was worked to it's 90 pto hp limit on probably half the work it did. I often wondered if a planetary would have stood the test as well or better. We only rebuild that 300 planetary 4-5 times in 35 years, while the clutch type on 560 was every 2-3 years.

I've always said IH never put the dollars they might have into R&D on IPTO, TA and hitches. IH did an excellent job on all 3 in the 06-56 series tractors. I can tell you, had that change not occured I would have been gone Deere or Oliver by 1965.
