Which is better?? Everyones votes wanted..

If you want to do farm work in a field, take the 806 or 856

Me? I'll take the 1066, it outclasses them all

Putting the 1066 in the same class as a 4020 is not a fair comparison. Compare a 1066 to a 4430. Far more of the IH flock went green on that choice than on the 4020/806 choice. Also, the local dealer is a big factor in the choice too. If you trust your IH dealer but not the JD dealer, I think I'd choose the IH even if the JD was better, as my dad did.

IH tractors were a great value and still are. No reasonable person will deny that. I focus my toy collecting on IH tractors.

But, after 1960, JD tractors just leap frogged the IH machines in ergonomics and finese. JDs from that era are just more pleasant to drive.

In today's world, the choice might come down to what you're going to be doing with the machine, the cost of the machine, and perhaps, sentimental or religious favorites. I would take either one and be tickled. They're both still great machines in terms of reliability and usability. If all I was going to do is plow or chisel plow all day long, I'd take the 806/856.

But, if you were to make me choose, and I had to stick to my choice, I'd take the 4020.

Why can't someone ask: "Which is better---an AC 190xt or an MF 1100"?

It would have the added feature of dragging the Orange Power Boosters out of the woodwork as well as the Massey crowd (neither group seems to say much)

I am TIRED of the endless RED vs GREEN debate.

Other, much more INTERESTING comparisons:

MM G1000 vs IHC f1206
MF 1155 vs IHC 1468
OL 1600 vs AC 180
CASE 830 vs MM M670
AC 190xt vs MM G900
AC D21 II vs JD 5020
AC D21 II vs IHC f1206
Case 1070 vs Ford 8000
JD 2510 vs IH f504

Nothing too terribly wrong with a good old fashioned "colorwar", but Persian Orange, Desert Sand, Dark Green, Prairie Gold, Blue, Red & Grey, and Silver paint colors always seem to get left out!!!!!

Thank You.

Perhaps it is the 190xt you wish to compare to a 4020????

Or perhaps you wish to compare the 426cid turbo in the D21 series II to the 6404T in a 4520?

At any rate, the D21 in any form, when compared to a 4020 is like comparing apples with tomatos. NOT RELAVANT! DOES NOT COMPUTE!

Want something to brag about? How about this: AC D17 vs MM g1000! The tractors I originally suggested were at least similar.

LOL

Who really cares, if I win a tractor I'll take it, paint it any darn color you want to. If you don't like the color of the tractor, then don't buy a ticket.

There, I feel better.

I worked for a farmer who had a 4020 when I was a lot younger and I liked driving that tractor, but the 806 would keep on working when that 4020 was out of horses.

I vote for the 806
