I'm looking to buy a tractor and I know where there is a 1066 for sale and I all know where's a 1086. Which one is a better tractor?? or are they both the same? Right now I have JD 4240..are the IH 1066 or 1086 about the same in power?

They both have strong points, and weak points when compaired to eachother. The 1066 was built to be functional rather than comfortable. It is a little less complicated, and much easier to work on. The shift linkage on the 66 is a better design than the 86 series in my opinion. The 1086 will have a nice tight air-condidtioned cab, but that cab makes it much harder to work on. Other improvements to the 86 series include- wet brakes, a heavier TA sprauge, a bigger fuel tank, and a heavier PTO clutch (although the 1066 probably has had that installed). Both tractors have DT-414 engines at 125-130 horsepower. Your 4240 is probably around 110. 4230 and 4240 were really more comparable to the 966 and 986.

We have two 1066's and a 1086 that have all been great tractors. The 1086 has a little heavier rear end (same as a 1466 or 1486) and is nicer for field work although I prefer one of the 66s for chores and odd jobs. Our 1086 has almost 10,000 hours and the 1066s have 4,600 and 7,200 hours on them. The cab on the 86 is alot nicer although they do ride rough, we put an air ride seat in our's last winter which solved the rough riding problem. As far as repairs we really haven't seen any difference between them. The 1066s were rated at 115-125hp and the 1086 was rated at 131hp but our 1086 left the factory running 150 as did most of the 1066's.

Pete if you can find a 1979 1086 with the series B engine you will save money on the less fuel it will burn other than that not much difference the 1086 should have better cab but the seat is forward some may not ride quit as good as 1066 the 79's I knew off but out about 145 hp
