You are talking about a couple of my favorite colors here with both IH and Oliver.I farm with two 1206 IH's and a 1967 Oliver 1950.The 1206's are both turned up a bunch and have to be making 140 horses or more.The 1950 is stock at 105 horses.The 1950 Oliver will pull the same implements that the 1206's will(14 ft chisel,21 ft disk,24 ft field cultivator) but its just a little slower.We run it in high 4th in the field.It amazes me what that little 212 cube Detroit will pull.

As for pulling if your 806 is stock and the 1855 Oliver is stock its about a toss up.However for durability the 806 will out last the Olivers.

Years ago I used to pull a 1966 Oliver 1950 in the 15,000 lb class.It had bigger injectors,turned 3300 rpms,and had 23.1x34 rear tires.It dynoed near 120 horses and often it would outpull 150 horse tractors including 806's,1256's mainly because we had it set up good.I like Olivers but out in the field your 806 will hold up longer.Some 806's have gone way over 10,000 hours with out the engine being touched.Few Olivers can say that.

The 806 has its good points and the Olivers have their good points.The main reason I have a 1950 Oliver is because I love listening to that screamin little 4-53 Detroit.I have a link so you can see some of my tractors plus a friends 806 that he used to pull.He bought it new and still owns it.
