I operated an M, MD, 400, 706, 856,1206, 966, and a black stripe 1066 during my time on the farm from the 1960s through the 1980s. Never had a mechanical problem with any of them. These machines amazingly stood the test of time with proper maintenance.
I bought a new 1086 in 1980 and it was one of the best tractors we ever owned
Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
I had a German uncle that loved taking vacations on my Dad's farm. He couldn't wait to run the old M with two row corn picker. Our M came from Illinois from a relative that had a dealership. We use it every summer to bale with and the engine still hasn't been touched after 60 years.
Love those Red Tractors of the 70’s! We had a couple 806’s, had a 1206, a 1456.... had a C, an M, we use to roll corn with or hook up to an auger.
Very nice line up.
Something about that Turbo 1206 always tugs on the heartstrings! Wish I had two of them out in the quonset. Summertime while we were irrigating, dad use to put the big tires and the narrow front end on that 1206 and tractor pull with it all over the Midwest. What a machine!
It’s hard to beat a 1206. They are stand out tractors.
I can just smell the soil. I used to love that the most.
Fresh turned soil and fresh cut alfalfa are great smells of farming.
HELL YEAH 💪💪😎😎,RED POWER,Best Tractors
Thank you for a wonderful trip back in time I worked for International harvester, a better tractor was never made.
Good to see those old Farmalls working - I worked for IH and Case IH so the pictures really bring back good memories! Keep up the good work.
Very cool. What was your line of work for IH and Case IH?
@@bigtractorpower Service rep, service trainer and service manager for IH (1977-84) and service engineer, sales and product promotion for Case IH 1985-1992
worked on ih tractors then case ih for 16 years loved this vid great job guys.
Spent alot of time in a 7120 one of the best built tractors in my opinion
Yes i enjoyed your IH line up. My grandma used to say if a product was well made, she'd say "it was made from iron" boilerplate construction those letter models. Contemporary stuff isn't made that way anymore. My favorite era is 1950s up to late 1970s. I like the machinery sounds that you provide, many play music, you don't and that pleases my experience. BTP = Professional Productions.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I like the music of the engines. The 50s to the 70s was a great time for IH.
RED POWER FOREVER!!.. If it ain't RED... Leave it in the SHED!!
I love your work..your blessed to be able to go film this equipment and see it in person.
My dad was a farmer and the first tractor I drove by my self was a 1086 pulling a disk when I was 7 years old. We had a 656 with a loader attached to it, a 1486 ih, 5488 ih, 1896 case ih and a 7240 Magnum was our last one. Had a few green ones but not really worth mentioning, you know.
Love them. Real good stuff.
Thanks for the shoutout BTP!!!!!
hi Mike.
Thank you for your great channel.
Awesome Video, great seeing the old Work Horses doing what there made to do!
66 series my favorite!👍
Gotta love that international 1066
One of my all time favorites.
@@bigtractorpower mine too, thanks for your response, will you be a the farm show this year in Louisville?
Awesome video again BTP. We run all red tractors from the 56 series and 66 series and 7120 and 7140 magnums and a couple maxxum tractors. Love the old IH tractors thanks for the video really enjoyed watching it!
Very cool line up. I grew around IH tractors. It’s always fun tracking them down to film.
Ran IH ,Case ,JohnDeere ,and Catipller .enjoyed running all of them
I guess I ran the Cat. The longest . I forgot the zFord suppermajor 5000 . Wore that one plumb out . Used the Cat. to pull a dirt pan and move dirt around . Used the 4230JD to plow,bushhog ,planting, and bailing hay with a 438 J.D . BAILOR
. MAN COULD IT PUT SOME BALES of hay . Had three trucks and five pickups hauling hay behind me . I could bale over 3,000 bales a day . Had to keep plenty of baking wire on hand . Carried four rolls on the baler at all time . Now days you can't even get people to even look at it ;muchless haul it . Had one customer that bought 4,000 bales from us e each year
We had to haul it after we got off the job . He wouldn't let anyone else haul because of the way we stacked it. Makes a lot of difference when it is being stacked outside . Had to be stacked real tite to shed water. He tried to haul it himself ,but couldn't stand up to it . We delivered a lot of hay around over the county at late evenings to people that baught it . We even some in snow storms ,now that can get rough at times .
Wow! That's impressive! Good old Farmalls! I love to see the old pull behind corn harvesters! Especially the Farmall M with the hood! Awesome video!
Two Farm Boys rd
Great video! All your videos are great. Thank you for all your hard work and what you do! Your the King!!
Thank you. This was an extra fun one to make.
Never really been a fan of case ih but I love those old internationals
i started following Mike Less and BTP at the same time.thank you BTP. i was a fan of Red then i ran a White and Versatile that is when i changed my tractor brand. very good video and thank you for all your time and work.
Mike Less and I agree that you are one of our very best fans. I sent him a copy of your message. Thank you for watching and always leaving comments. It is very appreciated.
My favorite video of yours so far. To be fair I am bias😁. My dad's main farm tractor was an 806. When he passed away I inherited his 1946 H that he inherited from his dad. My brother inherited a 1953 Super M. My dad completely restored the M before he passed. I'm hoping to be able to restore the H at some point although it still runs great and has been well maintained.
Just wow what a video BTP has set the bar high with this one and man those 56, 66, and 86 models just speak to me
Thank you. I remember seeing 66, 86 and 88s new on the lit. They are cool tractors.
Love the video! Love my red tractors!
They have a great history.
I really enjoyed this video, well all of them but particularly this one. thanks for sharing!!!
It was a fun video to make.
Did not know about the 80 th Anniversary till I watched your video now that being said I now want to repaint my Super M for the occasion thanks for helping me spending my money 💰
Happy to 😁. The Super M is a great tractor.
Good video!! Nice to see the history
Thanks for this video. I grew up on a 504, 560, and a 966.
Thank you for watching. Nice line up of IH tractors.
You've done a fantastic job on your video !, really enjoyed watching your video, you deserve an academy award for your effort ! 🙂 Thank you for shearing 👍 wished someone did the European built one's !
Thank you for your comment and for watching. If I could get footage of classic European tractors through today I would be excited to make a similar video. I would like to do one on Deutz, Fendt and Fiat.
This is my new favorite video! I'm giving this a big thumbs up.
Thank you. This was a fun long term project.
That was really good. I noticed the gold paint job on a Magnum. The MX series was the last I ever operated. Enjoyed seeing the 1586.... I could go on and on. Thumbs up here.
Good eyes. I slipped the gold demo 305 in there. That will have a video of its own with a gold hood Steiger.
bigtractorpower maybe you would know, you had the Farmall white demonstrators, then the gold demonstrators, were there any other manufacturers doing something like that? If so, I wonder who started it?
Our farm has or has had tractors from most of those series. We have an M, 406, 756, Maxxum 5140, Magnum 7110, Magnum 7220, and a MX 215. We've traded off two 856's, a 1066, and a 1486. I just used the M this morning with a box blade, smoothing out a road. The 7000 series Magnum's are still the most dependable and productive tractors I've seen and are probably why our small farm is still in business.
Very cool line up and history. I like those double model number ones like the 7110 and 7220.
Thanks BTP for bringing this video, very nice history and video
Thank you. It was fun to work on. I will do other brands as I can film the models to fill in the years and gaps.
we had a black stripe 1066 just like that in the 70’s and alot of other IH tractors, all green today though
What made you switch brands?
Another great video well done Tks BTP
+bigtractorpower Very nice compilation you've put together there. Nice work!
Great video BTP! What a fun trip back in time. I would some day love to own a 1066.
Glad you enjoyed it. A black stripe 1066 is my all time favorite. I was very excited to film the one in the video this year.
bigtractorpower , my dad ordered a blackstripe 1066 new from the factory, no cab, no 3pt, used as main tillage tractor for many years. It still does a fair amount of tillage, but mostly for haying now. I was 3yrs old when it came to the farm but I think I have put most of the over 10,000 hours it has, on it.
Thanks, BTP. This video is very informative!
Thank you for watching.
bigtractorpower I seriously your videos. I still go back to my childhood on my both of my grandpa's farms the last year in 1975 when I was 15 & now I'm 57 & be 58 in six weeks. So Thank you!
I seriously love your videos.
I love case ih so this video was great to see how it was back then. Nice video BTP!
Thank you for watching. Case IH has an awesome history of great machines.
Yeah i agree . I just bought myself a case ih sweater and i have a hat.
And Btw i really enjoyed the video. I liked it and i subscribed to you.
My favorite tractors were the 100 series tractors the 88 series international and the first generation magnums . Currently I run my little farm with my grandfather and fathers 1956 farmall 200 and a 2008 Caseih farmall 55a .
Very cool! I love seeing the history and how they've changed! Out here in MI we have old tractor shows with some of the original steam powered ones!
Steam power goes way back. Case was one of the first steam power companies back in 1842. The first tractor did not make it to market until 1903.
interesting!

My grandpa ( mom's side) had all International tractors . My dad had all Massey Ferguson's. I have a IMT 539 ; John Deere 5320 cab ; Massey Ferguson 3070 cab. One day I like to have a older International tractor.
66 series is my favorite, the last truly non electronic- non digital, simple model. I have 5 of them.
Mark Groth
The early 86 series are as well but agreed the old metal tractors are still the most reliable
Agreed. For just all around doing anything on the farm, my 766 is the best.
Agreed mark groth the 66 are my favorite as well just the look of them has me hooked on them I've only so far got one which is a 866 my other two red tractors are a 574 and a 414 but still would like to add a 1466 and a 1066 to the colection one day
If it ain't red, leave it in the shed!! Lol awesome footage as always.
This is why i drive old red hürrlimanns 😂😂
This is why I drive Massey Ferguson in FS19
I can't tell you how many times we pulled our neighbors 706 out of a mud puddle with our allis chalmers wd45 so yea leave that pos in the shed probably won't start anyway yea I said wd45
Best thing to happen to ih is case coming in
awesome thanks guys
Sweet video!
Excellent video , keep up the good work making them 👍
Great video!!
1939 was the introduction of the Farmall M, H, and A the first farmall was called the Farmal Regular. It was the very first farmall and row crop tractor ever made and was introduced in 1924.
I would like to film a 1923 Farmall. This video features the red tractors from 1939 to today.
285 magnum still a great tractor
My grandpa ran red all through his farming career from Farmall and case
😁👍👍
Hi chance
You promised red and delivered! Grew up with the 72 series tractors, the new ones make it easy but man the 72 series where the best built IMO. That cummins engine and case power shift were just tanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. The 7220 is one of my favorite tractors.
Great collection in this video.
Thank you for watching.
I’m into old tractors,good vid I subscribed
Thank you very much.
We have a IH 464 at home that we use to mow and till with! It was produced for a short time 1974-1976
Awesome video! We are actually using a Farmall M to make hay to day
Ben Johnson, me too but its a mta.
Mark Groth cool! I have never seen one of those
Great video, I really enjoyed the video.
Great to hear. Thank you for watching.
what'd be cool is when the opportunity arrises, do a video of a 68 series, 1468/1568.
I hope film some 68 series.
I love those tractors, not many V-8 diesels exist i've found. There are only 4 models I know of the IH 1468 and 1568, and the MF 1180 and 1185.
Love your video's + the History.. Wish you could see these tractors @ work in the North East farms.... There is no "Flat Land up there + A Ton of "Grey" Clay....
I have a 1939 A. Sweet little tractor, and a bit addicting! New sub, great channel!
Hi. The A is a great tractor. Thank you for watching and subscribing. I try to put out a new tractor video every two to three days.
Best vid I have ever seen!!!!!👍👍
Glad you liked it. It was fun to share IH and Case IH machines from the past 80 years.
Good vid ! 👍Im a International fan based on looks alone, never owned one.
Best video ever loved it
Love your videos
Thank you for watching.
I remember dad running the two row
👍👍
Great...beautiful..👍💙
Thank you for watching.
66 series will always be my favorite series we have a 666 hydro a 766 blackstripe (1976 special) and are soon getting a 1066
Cool. Congrats on the 1066.
Best tractors ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job on that, it must have taken a good bit of work to get all that documented and assembled!
I wonder how many of those early tractors measured in belt horsepower actually had a belt drive pulley installed. I bet less and less as the years went on. And of those with a pulley, I wonder how many ever used it, at least before appearing as an antique in a farm show. :-)
Great video...we had 4 of those different series of tractors
Very cool. Which tractors did you run?
bigtractorpower 1066...then er had a 1486...the traded that for the magnum 7120. And 3 years ago we bought a 2096
farmers don't forget about old smokey!!! And I think you've got a couple other old 70/90 series cases if I remember right.... I'm a big case fan... and we share names lol 😂
man we run 380 magnums they sure are nice
Nice footage
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
Great vid👍what Red Power Tour of 80 years, I wish I could film Australia versions like A5554, 66 series, 976 and 86 series. Magnum was big change n over series they got better. Today Magnum is like driving car compare early tractors especially with CVT.
That would be neat. I have brochures on the 1086B and 1486B with the red cabs from Australia.
bigtractorpower cool with brochures as I have 86, 86B and 5288 given to me by pa. Pa used collect brochures and information on on tractors n combines.
Great video.
Thank you for watching.
Excelente Video👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
5:33 to 8:57 is my favorite time of Case tractors.
👍
I personally like the older magnums more than the newer ones...
Super vidéo
Merci
Thank you for watching.
First tractor I ever operated was a farmall 350 trike tractor, It was the summer before I started fifth grade and used it to haul water out to the free range pigs
I also remember when mason the farmers son was driving, I’d stand on the drawbar hitch and hold onto the seat while we hauled ass down the dirt road to the pig farm😂
Very cool. 350s are nice tractors.
The only IH tractors I was ever around was an H, M, Super M and 806.
Great job on your video, very informative. I often wondered if IH survived the bad old days of the early 80's how things would be different today. ( The Super 70 series tractors with a CVT transmission or the 88 series tractors with a full power-shift transmission.) What might have been.
It would have been interesting to see what the company and its products would look like today if was still International Harvester.
I wish they would've shown the MD. I have one. Great video.
I have not had a chance to film many of the letter series Farmalls at work in the field. The MD is a cool tractor. Thank you for watching.
And the big international cab tractors are cool I would like one
IH built great tractors. The 76 66 series is my favorite.
Loved the 5288. I always thought the 88's with fwa were the most beautiful looking tractors.
Cool video I run 2 of those series international's
Neat. What model IHs do you run?
Lik the 1586
Good stuff 👍👍👍
Great line up of Red Power.
Can't argue with that. International must have been popular in this part of Scotland. Saw many around here as a kid in the 70s & 80s...
that 5288 was sharp
5 yrs to find all these amazing tractors. Thanks for taking the time to produce a great video full of American history.
Hopefully some day I can film each tractor in a series like a 786, 886, 986, 1086, 1486 and 1586 for example.
Good video as always. Have a case ih mxu 125 with 6400 hrs on it . Best tractor I’ve ever owned. Way better than the two Deere’s .
I like the 2594 case the best the old one's all sume to
Had a 766 back in 80's on farm, good simple tractor. It deep ripped a lot of virgin scrub after it had been chained. Was the aussie built one with German engine
Neat. Australia had several interesting IH tractors like the 866 and 86B series.
Yes it is a great brand
That 380 at 11:32 has a very low tire. LOL
great vid. :)
Glad you liked it. Thank you.
ur welcome :)
That mx240 sure sounds tough with the straight pipe!! Would like to do that with mine but I can’t hear anyone on my blue tooth headset as it is haha
It’s a big sound for sure.
You should really do one of these videos for John Deere and Oliver and maybe Massy Ferguson. I understand it takes awhile to get footage and put it all together but it would be really cool.
I do plan to do as many of these videos as possible. Deere is getting closer. I need to film some more two cylinders, a 4010, 6030, 4840, 4850, 4955 and 8400R. Massey has a ways to go. Oliver is one I want to do but need to find more. I may do a general White Farm Equipment history video soon.
The 400 sounds like our tractor.
Hopefully that’s a good thing. 😁
I think it is, ours is older, and less powerful, and has a stock pipe on it, but when it's workin, you can hear it.
