so is it safe to assume my turbo is Tango Uniform if I can"t pull a 4 bottom plow in 2 Hi? she bogged down and stalled when trying to plow in black loamy soil.

First what size bottom and plow are we talking about. A 1066 should handle a 4-16 rollover with no problem in High #1, high #2 is too fast. If you have a 4-18 rollover Low #4 is probably a better. 5-6 mph is about max for plowing.

1 Hight is the primary tillage gear for this tractor with the T/A helping out at the end of the rows.

You can allways turn is up a little and add 20 or so HP. Be careful as the rear ends are not designed to handle the extra HP and their life will be shortened. Depends on how much strain you put on the rear end.

Engine is near bullet proof and can take the extra. Same engine is used in the 1466 with some small modifications and a version of it is still in use in Navastar trucks. D/DT 414/436/466.

Was this with the TA forward or the TA back? If it was forward, you are lucky the tractor stalled, you more than likely would have torn the front end off the tractor or the bottoms off of the plow bouncing through the furrow at 7 mph. For plowing, as others have said 3rd or 4th low is a good place to start. You could also use 1st high as well, as there isn't much of a difference between 1st high and 4th low. I don't know about turbos on IH tractors, but the turbo on our 4-53T detroit in our truck makes a heck of a whistle. As others have said previously, before you start tearing down the motor, get it dyno tested to see what you have. Otherwise you might drop a couple thousand dollars to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place!!

If you run your tractor down the road in Hi 4th at PTO RPM and then trottle it down all the way you should be able to hear the turbo whistle. If you have the 3LM on it it will whistle a little louder than a factory turbo. If your turbo isn't working you will notice it when you try to pull the plow in Lo 4th. It is going to smoke like a son-of-a-gun if it isn't. I would think that it would be pretty sluggish if you are running at half throttle and pull it wide open.

I don't know but you sure can hear the turbo on our 1066. She's an open station now, though. It isn't real loud like the one on a pullin tractor, but there is a distinct whistle above the engine noise. Try standing at the end of the field while someone drives her towards ya, you should be able to pick it out then. I don't know anything about an update, maybe ours has had it. I don't know about plowing in 2hi. Even if you could pull it, you're gonna rip your plow apart! Use 3 or 4 lo. 5mph is already about too fast for a moldboard plow.

2 Hi?

'Course you can't plow in 2 hi. Try 4 Lo.

Like I said earlier, this isn't a pickup truck, it's a tractor.

4Lo isn't a problem. And I can't hear turbo spool down when I shut her down and I definitely can't hear a turbo when someone else is driving and I'm outside the tractor. I think I'll pull it and take it to Spencer Diesel and Turbo down the road.

Total waste of time.

Sounds like you don't have a lot of experience around farm tractors and implements?

Well, not exactly. I only have about 15 years of running a tractor with implements, but this is my first "red" tractor so I have nothing to compare it against. Nice that you're an "expert" in your own mind, but you see I am used to MF and Deere and never driven a 1066 to know if it is running correctly or not. Sorry you "have to stoop to our level" Mr. Expert in answering some of these questions so I'll do you a favor and let you off the hook in not having to reply to anything I post in the future. Perhaps you should start an "Experts Only" forum so you won't be put out. To all the other replies, thank you very much.

I think you're jumping the gun. First off, high second on a 1066 is over 10 miles per hour. That's way too fast to be doing any sort of tillage work, and is probably just too high for the load you're pulling. Allan's got it right, low fourth is the gear you want. If you want to get more work done faster, get a bigger plow. Turbochargers are very expensive to rebuild/replace, and there are several other things that are much more likely to cause a low power complaint. Fuel filters are the first thing. Next, air filters. Then make sure your throttle linkage is adjusted correctly and that you are getting full rated speed out of the engine. If all this checks out, it would be money well spent to take it to your nearest farm equipment shop and have it dyno tested to see what it's really putting out. Most shops only charge about $75 for a run on the dyno. Inspect your turbo by removing the hose between the turbo and the intake manifold. If you've got oil inside of that hose, it's time for a rebuild. Check the shaft for play. A little up and down play is OK but you do not want much endplay. Your boost pressure can be checked by connecting a guage to the intake manifold, but you'll need to be on the dyno to get a good accurate reading at full rated load.

Maybe the fins are broke off? Still can pump air, but not as much, and not have a whistle to it. If they ran it without a air filter, might have got some trash in it and done some damage?? I can hear our 856 DT"s turbo for over 1/4 mile away!

TSH,High first with the T/A forward is the 1066's sweet spot for any tillage and I agree, run it down the road at full throttle and back it off to idle.If you don't hear the turbo whine down you probably do have aproblem.I would think if the turbo's siezed it would smoke like crazy.
