The people trying to sell them are generally REAL proud of 'em. You can get the same power, often in better condition, for a lot less $$$ in a 66 or 86 series.
2WD 5x88 series are pretty helpless if the going gets tough, too. Dad tested a used one one fall. Got in a little mud with the manure spreader, it spun a little, and that was it. We couldn't budge it with the 1066, so we had to go back and get my brother and the 856 too.
