Somebody posted yesterday about an Oliver 1855 that was for sale. Probably on page 2 by now.

depending on where you are i dont think id put an 806 on something that big. even though it could back in its prime you have to remember the tractor was made over 50 years ago.

966 or better yet cab 886

I know a fellow with an 806, and he says it is a great tractor. It should pull a 16 foot disc, but I am not so sure about a field cultivator. A Turbo 1206 would give you power, power, and power to spare, so you wouldn't have to worry about something the size of that monster. You are looking for something with at least 70 horsepower to do the job adequately, 10 or 20 extra hp is not going to hurt you.

Might be a little small, go a couple sizes bigger and you will never regret it.

1066 or 1206 might be your best options if you bleed red
