Hugh, I did get a little carried away with the half the land in Canada remark. I am sorry. But I thought you were trying to belittle me on the number of hours on our tractor. We no-till everything and round bale all the hay so the hours do not count up very fast anymore.
Yes I am younger than you, 41.
I just hate hearing bad things said about 1066's. We have had International diesel tractors since 1965 and only had to overhaul one of them in all that time. That was because a tree branch knocked the oil sender off the engine and the oil ran out when clearing brush. That was an 856 that we traded for the 1066.
That 1066 has been a great tractor. We have put a couple of ta's and clutches in it in all those years. We did the work ourselves. Other than that nothing.
We change coolant filters every 250 hours and coolant every three years. When we first bought it we changed coolant every year until they came out with the water filter.
Other tractors have problems too even the green ones. In another twenty years it won't matter anyway,All the new tractors will be cheap crap made in China. Then people will long for the days when they could buy a new 1066 or a 4430 John Deere.
