I used my 806 to pull a Newholland LS170 skidsteer and a bradco 609 bachoe attachment to my neighboor's house the other day to dig a footer for his garage that he is going to build. The 806 that im talking about is the one that I posted a question on here wandering the horse power range??? a couple months ago that is now panited with the 1256 tubro charger and 1206 exhaust manifold and 1066 exhaust elbow and the feul running about 25%.thats no hog wash story if thats what your thinking, the picture is on the galleries a couple pages back when I was tryin to find the horse power range.Take a look!!! its ther as the tractor is also now painted and the picture is under the galleries as jeff burton's 1967 806, the horse power????? questionable, some say it could be running as much as 175 hp????? I really dont know and thers no one around here with a dino, but it really impressed me on a hill up the raod as i pulled the load up it in raod geer with no strain!!!! anyways I thought I would share that with you all!!!! Thanks

Tan67: An 806 operating at rated hp would pull the load you describe with ease, in fact any 50 hp tractor would do that. I could do it with my 130 by shifting gears.

If you really want to test the 806, hook it on to 25 ton. Even better try towing a loaded tractor trailer. I pulled a loaded tractor trailer up a 30% grade, on grass, in 4th low with 1066. The rig weighed 72,000 # and no drive shaft. The truck was on a corn field, 11pm, it was starting to rain. It was a case of get it then or leave it there for days.

That's my point, Hugh.

I've got a 7% grade hill on the highway right out in front of my house. Really doubt you'd pull a dead loaded rig up that pup.

7 to 10% is an awfuly steep grade, let alone your claim of a 30%(the picture is a 30 degree cut).

Allan: In my books a 30% grade is 30' elevation in 100'. That is what it's always been called in my neck of the woods.

What I saw on your block of wood must have been 4" elevation in 6", in other words 66' of elevation in 100'. Perhaps you would enlighten me how just how you calculate that. Seems like 66% grade to me.

I bet that was fun, and a good story for later. Also makes you appreciate your tractor more.

I can beleive it as i have been around the 706 -806 since they were new , as the man i worked for bought the vary first one sold here in Ohio and my uncle bought the second one sold after he ran the first one . My boss had a nick name of NUT's Howard he was the owner of a large construction co. and had more money then one could ever want and if he wanted something he would just buy it he also had one of the nicest farms in the area and he was HORSE POWER Crazy . The tractor that he bought was the disp;ay tractor at the 1963 Canfield Fair and he owned it the day before the fair started and was delivered on laborday evening at 11:30 Pm as the fair closed at 11 and it was on the truck and out the gate at 11:15 and on the farm at 11:30 as i was there . by wenesday evening it had a turbo on it that was installed by General Maintance Diesel and was cranked up from the get go as the 95 hp was not enough . The next saturday a 806 was setting at my uncles and by tuesday evening Wild Bill Dunkel had the turbo on my uncles. , both set at 165 on the pto .Now today with the advacements in turbo tech.and with the better pumps i am guessen that if i put my mind to putting a 806 together today i could pull over 200 and make it live for a good while maybe not the 10000 plus hours that some have gone but as long as a 400 seires lives . Back then we were only able to get 12-13 lbs. of booste as that was all the best charger could do . Now today my Dodge with the hairdryer that it has is running 30-34 lbs and my old 4300 I H eagel ran 68 lbs. And if ya want to realy push it you can get 1 to 1.5 hp per cube or more look at what they are getting out of 359 cubes on a cummins.
