In earlier post I indicated I would agree with you on some points and really never did say what they were. That 8 speed + TA transmission in larger 06, 56, 66 and 86 series was built for and was only good for field work. I agree 100% not worth a damn on any job requireing frequent shifting. I did most of my farming with Farmalls 300, 560D, 656D, 1066 and a 100hp Deere with power shift. The 300 and 560 were wagon haulers, Deere was for shuttle work, and you know what the other 2 did.

I will agree on those German diesels, no torque. The most obvious was the 886 tractors, early ones being 360 American Diesels and the late models being 358 German Diesels. No comparison in the tractors ability. IH sold a lot of 886 on the reputation of the 360. There were a lot of disapointments.

There must be something wrong with your 806 as most of them would come in not far behind the 1206, 1256 or 1066. I once passed a highway tractor trailer on a heavy hill with my 1066 pulling roughly 10 ton behind it. The highway tractor was obviously loaded a lot heavier. In fact I never used the TA, and 1066 was at 2300rpm at bottom of hill as well as all the way up the hill.

I am sorry sir but in my opinion there is not much farming going on where the hills are so steep an 806 or 856 will not take the baler and two wagons over in high gear without using the TA.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start ... [Read Article]
