*Impressive tractors! The fact that so many have endured is a testament to their durability. It's great that repair parts are still accessible. Currently working on a 1066 myself.* 👍🚜
Boy those were the days... used to love seeing an 8 bottom plow or big disk with the wings thrown down turning that beautiful soil over, versus today’s “environmentally friendly” equipment touching the tops of the soil in road gear. Seeing the sea of red out in the field reminds me of the equipment we enjoyed.... I think we had a couple H’s to run augers at the grain bins, an M & a C to run a mower, maybe roll corn, but ran a couple 806’s, had a 1206 dad tractor pulled in the summer, pulled a disk through the field with it, like nothing was on the back. Had a 1456 as well.... Dad was a champion farmer, turning in some great crops, farmed a little over 3,000 acres in the 70’s in the Midwest, irrigated across two counties with hose drag and center pivots, and those were the best of times. Something very genuine and wholesome around that family lifestyle. Harvesting all night long on Thanksgiving night to get that crop in before a snow blizzard hit.....Sure loved our Farmal & International Harvesters. Those were the days. Watching these big reds from the 70’s getting it done out in the fields.... nothing better. Sitting up in the cab of a 1456 disking at 12 years old by myself, parents today would lose their minds over. Lol. Blessed childhood. Thanks for this epic channel.
1066, 1466, 1566, 4 and 5 bottom ploys. Wow - that was my childhood and teenage years going by again. Great to see the same equipment we used 40 years ago still working the dirt. Thanks for a another great video.
That 656 has no business out there. It needs to be on a 6 row planter. 1456 is a beast. Gotta love the 407 engine. 1466 is nice also. Nice to see them Red tractors plowing deep. All the JD videos they're barely scratching white dirt much less this good black stuff.
The field was picked by mounted and pull type corn pickers. Everything is on 38 inch rows. Here is video of the picking before the plowing th-cam.com/video/VX2FzewAiG0/w-d-xo.html
That was really great to see so many fine looking Internationals in one field, I am proud to have one of those millions produced, a 1949 Farmall Super A, thanks for filming this one
Love them 1206,s first one i saw i was eighteen years old plowing with a w_6 across the road the neighbors had a brand new 1206 6 bottom duly impressed I was..
In various videos about agriculture, I have noted that IH tractors are the best at transferring traction to the ground without slipping. What could be the reason for that? Are IH tractors heavy?
When my boy saw that big international harvestor 4786 at the end him and I both said simultaneously “oooooohhhhh” :) we’re excited to see what’s in store.
😁👍👍. The 4786 is the biggest IH tractor ever offered before the Case IH years started. That picture is of the 4786 working in a 2,800 acre field. I hope to show that video very soon.
All these plows appear to be set well enough and be sharp enough to work in that dry hard ground ! I was there one day and most of the plows weren't preforming very well but it was some extremely though conditions! I'll give IH credit I always thought they built quality plows ! Thanks for the video!
The ground was just so dry the plows could not get a good bite to set a furrow and the tractors could not gain the traction they needed. The show must go on and it did despite less than ideal conditions.
Yeah like i said it would have been nice for a few guys with old honey-wagons hauling river water to the plow ground with their vintage tractors would have at least kept the dust down if not softened up the crust, there'd be a few extra cracks in frames at the end of that day for sure.
Awesome vid. It's always fun watching a the same brand of tractors with the labels telling the size and hp of each. Have you ever done a video going through a brands various sizes starting small and going up or starting large and going small. With all your videos you should have almost all the tractors of each brand! lol!
Thank you for watching. Your suggestion is a long term goal of mine. I filmed a bunch of tractors in the past 10 years but I have not had an opportunity to film an entire line. I am always searching so hopefully that type of video becomes reality some day.
How are the double tractors toward the end of the video controlled? Are they shifted independently and the clutches and throttles work together, or is there some mechanism that shifts both transmissions at the same time?
There is a cable that runs from the control tractor to the rear tractor. I filmed an Allis-Chalmers set up like this and talked to the operator and he showed me how it works. I will post that video soon.
806 would be a great size for a 5 bottom this from a green and Yellow farm boy we pulled a 5--14inch integral plow was a john deere with a 4020 and 4010 John Deeres
mr btp could we have a closer look at tandem tractors with an explanation on how they work and how you control them plus its about time for some action with your tractor isnt it regards pete
In Denmark, plowing is still the most widely used post-harvest tillage. It seems that plowing is not used in the US that much longer. What could be the reason for that?
Do you have any video of an IHC 884 working, bought one from town government that has spent it life mowing roadsides for the state and then the town and need some inspiration. THanks
I would like to see it. I have been out to Bakersfield. Unfortunately I was not on TH-cam back then. Watch for some California rice farming here on BTP soon.
I have one of those tractors to just a 1086 I love that tractor that's my first one I bought I got it all repaint and I'm storing that inside to look at it
@@bigtractorpower Yes I could tell it was pretty tough going. My family farmed with farmall/ IH from early 30's until I retired in 1995. F-20, F-30 10-20 , Cub H,M, 300, 460,560, 706, 1206, 856. After the 60 series there was a definite change in traction and an increase in slippage. Just my experience.
*Impressive tractors! The fact that so many have endured is a testament to their durability. It's great that repair parts are still accessible. Currently working on a 1066 myself.* 👍🚜
Great to see these old beauties working, I own a 1066 model, still going strong! Regards from Down Under.

Beautiful tractors America at its peak
Great tractors. So many of these tractors have survived is a testimonial. A lot of repair parts still available. Going through a 1066 now.
"Awesome collection!"

Right On Bro ; Some of those guys are weekend warriors pretending to be farmers . smh . put that thing back in the shed .
Very nice tractors 👍
👍👍
The best International tractors..
These tractors and plows weren't meant to be running across corn stubble that had class nine combines running across it.
The field was picked by mounted and pull type corn pickers. Everything is on 38 inch rows. Here is video of the picking before the plowing th-cam.com/video/VX2FzewAiG0/w-d-xo.html
Finally, at the end, a tractor with the right exhaust on it!!!
I like that two tractors connected together pulling that oliver plow,that looked cool,double power,THE BIG DEUCE. LOL
They are cool.
Give the plows credit if it wasn't them wouldn't need the tractors
😁👍👍
That was really great to see so many fine looking Internationals in one field, I am proud to have one of those millions produced, a 1949 Farmall Super A, thanks for filming this one
Very cool. The A is a true classic.
Enjoyed International Harvester Brand Tractors🚜👍
Great video.
Ahhh, what a beautiful sound!
😁👍👍
Awesome guys
A very nice video again💪💪👍
Thank you for watching.

Love them 1206,s first one i saw i was eighteen years old plowing with a w_6 across the road the neighbors had a brand new 1206 6 bottom duly impressed I was..
I'd say that was a pretty impressive sight, for back then especially!
I grew up in the Quad Cities. I love IH and Deere tractors. Yes.....I like both.
1206 a nice Tractor. Thanks for the Video💪🏻
The 1206 is an IH stand out.
Nice tractor
Great tractor brand.
Been there a couple times, GREAT show. BK.
It is an awesome event.
The 656 with 4-wheel drive was very unusual.

HOLA ustedes gringos fabrican muy buenas máquinas durables saludos desde Temuco Chile
It's hard to beat that old iron. I own 8 of them. An H to a 4186.
Very nice. I hope to film a 4186 some day. Rare IH 4wd. I grew up watching a 4166. I have always liked the look of the 4100 to the 4186.

Thank you for watching. It’s always getting to film IH tractors.
That looks like some hard ground!
Yes it does.
LOVE this video!
Wonderful video I feel so nostalgic
IH was a great brand. I grew up around allot of 66 and 86 series.
I would plow for free..
My hearing was damaged by a 806 Wheatland Turbo. They've been ringing for over 55 years.
Yeah like i said it would have been nice for a few guys with old honey-wagons hauling river water to the plow ground with their vintage tractors would have at least kept the dust down if not softened up the crust, there'd be a few extra cracks in frames at the end of that day for sure.
A few tractors broke out there. A 4020 ripped is 3pt off 😩
Must have had some bad compaction this year.
Also no 86 or 88 series?
Just very very dry. No 86 or 88. I hope people bring them to the 2021 show.
These Tractors are Alsome. Love to hear them running under load.....
They are great to hear. That IH DT466 has a good sound.
International Muscle!!
We had two a554,696,866 and 4386.
Oh the memories. Where's the 826?
Wow that is some hard ground. Need to see a subsoiler demo.
It is just very very dry.

On our farm hundreds of thousands of bushels are binned by our trusty 766 IH Farmall on a 13x70
Very cool.
That’s some cool classic tractors really cool!
Thank you for watching.
Very Cool !
Thank you for watching.
Great to see you 😊

Hard plowing!
Very dry year.
I'm looking for a 85-100hp IH to handle a 720 5 bottom
I would say an 856 in that range but a 1066 would be well matched. 72-75 1066s are 115 hp and 76 models are 125 hp.
806 would be a great size for a 5 bottom this from a green and Yellow farm boy we pulled a 5--14inch integral plow was a john deere with a 4020 and 4010 John Deeres
Was that a 1466 with the cab?
No it is a 1566.
What are the dates of this festival in 2020?
mr btp could we have a closer look at tandem tractors with an explanation on how they work and how you control them plus its about time for some action with your tractor isnt it regards pete
it seems like the duals on one side would put uneven stress on one side of the differential. wow that is some hard ground they plowing.
رائع جدا ، اين يوجد هذا الجرار وهل يشبه جرار انترناشونال B450
Nice video. I recently picked up a 660 diesel that is missing some parts, do you have any footage of one of those in action?
In Denmark, plowing is still the most widely used post-harvest tillage. It seems that plowing is not used in the US that much longer. What could be the reason for that?
Eigil Krogh Sorensen No-till farming has become extremely popular with many US farmers now.
No till farming is faster and leads to less soil erosion. It works better in some places of the US then others
Seems like they are all plowing too deep. Looks like a lot of the tractors are under powered/sized for the plow they are pulling.
stroln Guy with the 656 is killing his tractor.
Grew up on the Big Red Tractors
Hi this is another very good video I did enjoy a lot
I wish I can by one 👍👍👍👍👍
There is some great IH tractors at this show each time.
When I was growing up in Chapel hill Tennessee I use to see a lot of red power. Not any more mostly green.
Green I’m very strong on the south now.
Green is overrated these days
Do you have any video of an IHC 884 working, bought one from town government that has spent it life mowing roadsides for the state and then the town and need some inspiration. THanks
I sure wish I did. I hope to get to film one some day.
Love the twin stacks on the V8 models.
That dirt seems really dry and tough
It was a drought. Hard plowing this year.
Always found ploughing fun for bout the first hour. Not so much after that.
Next Year yours over there plowing?
I sure wish I could. It is an expensive endeavor to Truck a big 4wd almost 400 miles one way.
@@bigtractorpower you can drive it to there.
Start in martch next Year.let it stay on farms and 2 times a week drive it 😉
@@bigtractorpower Hmmm, maybe a nice vintage Mack and low-boy in your TH-cam toy collection in the future?
We have a farmall 656 on our farm in Ontario Canada.
Very cool. Is it a gear drive or a Hydro?
@@bigtractorpower It is a Gear drive. It used to run a small square baler and corn planter.
You need to plan a trip to sunny California during harvest time, corn and winter wheat. Tomato 🍅 and onions and garlic and alfalfa
I would like to see it. I have been out to Bakersfield. Unfortunately I was not on TH-cam back then. Watch for some California rice farming here on BTP soon.
I have one of those tractors to just a 1086 I love that tractor that's my first one I bought I got it all repaint and I'm storing that inside to look at it
Very nice.
Awsome job! Next year have your 4586 plowing as well in the demonstrations! 👍🏻
I would really like to take my 4786 to the show but I live 400 miles from the show. It’s a bit of a hike to move a big 4wd.
I see. Not a problem. 👍🏻
great video I want an 8600 ford but any of these red tractors would do
I just filmed a 9600 on grain cart duty. I like the 8000/9000 Ford tractors.
IH tractors doing what they do best, spinning.
A 4020 out there broke its 3pt off plowing this ground. It was tough conditions for all the tractors.
Lee Meacham and it looks like most of the filming was on headlands and what’s usually on headlands class? That’s right compaction.
@@bigtractorpower Yes I could tell it was pretty tough going. My family farmed with farmall/ IH from early 30's until I retired in 1995. F-20, F-30 10-20 , Cub H,M, 300, 460,560, 706, 1206, 856. After the 60 series there was a definite change in traction and an increase in slippage. Just my experience.
That ground is hard as a cat's head
Back when I.H.really ment something.
Most of the Farmall plant is gone and Harvestor in East Moline is erased from the earth.
It is sad to know that the once great International Harvester has all but disappeared. It’s tractors will go on for many years to come.
Some was really struggling.
Very very hard dry ground.
Looks to me like some of these are in too high a gear or too big a plow...🧐
They merely forgot what that lever on the left side is for.....LOL
Hope that hydro doesn't plow for a living.quickest way to the shop
I have seen it at every Half Century Show since 2009. It looks well cared for. I suspect it just plows at this event every two years.
Courtney Hirsh My uncle had one of the earliest hydros ever made ,it never quit and was worked hard.
I painted the rims white and the bolts red 2404 international harvester I fixed it
1206 with 110 horsepower looks a little more than that to me
The factory horse power is 110. No doubt a 1206 can crank out more than that.
My uncle had two 1206 turbos, turned up to 135 hp. Pulled 5-20 plow with ease, also fuel efficient as well
Now it's Case IH Stieger
