Been quite a day. My wife managed to surprise again. I checked out the 1066 and all looked well from the outside. Paint was very good, engine (414) fired right up, but there were a few concerns I had. First this tractor did not have TA. Not sure why, I assumed this model came with it from the factory. Second I had trouble getting it to shift into reverse. The linkage was super smooth but it took forever to get into reverse. After driving for a bit I shut it down to check the fluids. This brought up my biggest worry. The hydraulic fluid had a milky look to it. Would this be caused by water in the system? I wanted to think about it and when we got into the car my wife showed me pics of another 1066 with a cab! He was asking $9,500 for it but she had him down to $8,500 (same as the other one). So it was off to a new farm. Here's the scoop on this one: Just refinished with a great paint job, 414(not hydro), Tested the TA and worked great (Thanks JohnIH!), dual PTO, All fluids looked good including the Hytran, All guages worked, wheel weights, front 100% and rear 75%, cab A/C worked super, all cab components operated fine, and he will deliver it. He is the second owner and there is a little over 2,000 hrs on his engine rebuild All-in-all this thing was sweet. What do ya think? Being a cheap man he's giving me the day to think it over. Is there anything else I should have looked at?

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
