Found an 806 turbo diesel online. It's got no TA and the side pieces of the hood are missing (the pieces that the International sign bolt to). It does have a cab and ok tires but it's definetly showing it's age. The add says it's a "good runner". Would it be a bad decision to inquire about this since it doesn't have a TA? by that I mean would the power difference without the TA kinda make it a turd? They want 3600 for it which I think isn't a terrible price but what do you guys think?

Tyler: It depends what you want a tractor for. Some people would prefer a 806 without a TA. It shouldn't be to hard to find side panels for a 06 series tractor. The price is good. If the no TA doesn't matter, then go for it. Kent

Ok thanks. I would be using it for bailing and pulling hay wagons mostly

The TA is definitely an asset when baling as you can shift down for the heavy spots. I have a SMTA and use the TA a lot on the baler

I have an SMTA also and had to think on it but I rarely use the TA when baling anymore. Had to come to the conclusion that if I was pulling on the TA a lot while baling I was probably raking my rows too heavy for my baler. I rely on the IPTO more when baling. The point is...you can probably live without it. The TA I mean.

I love the ta on my 460 but hated the ta the 756 i had, it worked but was always making a whining noise i thought. just my 2 cents but the ta on my 460 is going to be great for bailing this summer.
