No leaks, drips or spills; she got her belly filled with good oil and new filters all the way around.

She's 'bout ready to join the working guys on this outfit. :>)

I'm so eager to hear how she does. I've never known anyone that had a unit that new. Hard to believe we're calling that new.

That's a nice looking land shark. I still admire those tractors, keep her going as long as possible.

As a retired Deere engineer and JD tractor guy, I have to say that's a darned good tractor and nice looking too. It has a lot of nice advancements. Too bad IH management and union screwed up and sunk that company. It sure wasn't product that sunk her. I have a bit of a soft spot in my heart for the 86 Series for my brother that put in his career as an engineer at IH was project manager for that series. He had the Magnum tractor engineering program too before Case bought IH, but retired before it hit production. Lymphoma took him several years ago.

Biggest tractor I've ever had on the place was a 7800 JD and this heifer is larger yet.

Used it to feed with yesterday and the honker is just plain too big for anything other than covering the 400 acres of summer fallow 3 or 4 times a year. So, if it even gets 150 hours annually, it would really surprise me.

Yeah, I really like that cab and climate control tho. :>)

Lose the duals and chain up

Allan that is a nice looking tractor. How many horsepower is it?

Allan in NE · Dec 23, 2013

IH says 187 and I don't think it's been turned up; runs too darned smooth and clean.

Should take a load off my 1066 on the summer fallow, I'd think. :>)
