I have a 6588. They say you either love or hate 2+2’s, I fell in love the first time behind the wheel. I really feel like if they were built a little bit heavier, they wouldn’t have got the bad reputation they had in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Treat them like the row crop tractors they are meant to be, and they are great pulling, economical machines. Great footage with the cyclo! 2 IH exclusives in one video!
It was neat to see this 6788 with the 955 Cyclo. I like being able to show brand matching tractors and implements .

I have a 6788 Love that tractor i need to restore it someday I hope. Gets used everyday
Very nice. Good worker and pretty collectible.
In four years of production only 347 models were made. This tractor has to make the ‘Rare tractors filmed in 2022’ video. Great looking set up. Another outstanding video bud. Cheers
It is definitely the rarest tractor featured this year.
Odd balls, 4sure!
I used to run a 3788 they were a beast 💯💯 heck yeah no Def or computer chip crap of today
👍👍👍
Amen brother
Been a fan of the 2+2's for a long time. They are really cool old tractors. There's a farm about 30 miles from us that runs a few of them along with some older IH 4WD's like yours. Last time we drove past they had them all lined up in a field back from the road a couple hundred yards.
Very cool. The 2+2 was a popular tractor where I grew up. I remember them new on the dealer lot. They were popular on dairy farms. A grain farm I grew up by had two 3588’s as their main tractors for 30 years from new until the farms retirement.
Oh wow! Never seen an articulating tractor like the 2+2! Interesting! Thanks for the informative video Brother! God bless!
The 2+2 tractors were built 1979 to 1985. The first generation models are the most common with a white cab. The second generation models with red cabs are scarce. The 1985 models called the Super 70s saw less than 30 built before being discontinued in the Case IH merger.
I have always been a fan of red powered 3788. Great video of a classic tractor
The 3788 is a good one. 👍👍
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. I fell in love with the "Big Red Nose Tractor" while I was a boy. Neighbor farm had one. Tho I loved my Allis Chalmers 'B' there was obviously no comparison. Lol. ✌️🖖
The 2+2 looks nice👍😁 it is an impressive machine😉👍
They are a pretty cool tractor in my book.
Great video Jason! I’ve never seen a 2+2 IH tractor but every since I’ve heard and read about them it seemed to be a great design. Cool to see one working today.
They are an interesting tractor. They really stood out in the early 1980s. They are one of my favorite tractors. I am always excited to feature one.
@@bigtractorpower I can tell. When you was talking about the AFS Connect CaseIH Magnum tractors it is interesting that the 2+2 was actually shorter lengthwise, even though that 2+2 has an articulation joint in front of the cab. It probably would have been a great tractor if CaseIH had chose to keep making it after International Harvester was bought out by Tenneco.
Wow! I've always been a fan of the 2+2 series!!
Me too 👍👍
@@bigtractorpower h mmm यी
I used to run a 3788 2+2 on a dairy farm I worked at.. I did many tasks with it from chisel plowing to pushing silage ... It was a good machine and I have no complaints with it
Very cool. What type of blade was used?
@@bigtractorpower I believe it was a old degelman blade .. it was actually a nice tractor to push with because you can steer the front close to the side of the bunk and really pack the sides in .. not like the 8640 JD we used that couldn't get that close to the edge
Another great IH video on BTP !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Good looking tractor...
Very informative and entertaining video (as usual). Great find, if less than 350 were ever made. Finding spare parts mustn't be easy for this tractor.
The 6x88 tractors are very similar to the 3x88 models. They also share allot of common parts with the 86 series row crop tractors.
Always wanted to take one for a spin. Never had the chance yet. They were ahead of their time on the 2+2
Thanks for sharing the video. I'd like to get one. Buddy of mines Dad had a couple years ago and loved them. I am glad you told about the economy also back then. These young people don't know what it was like. Hope we are not in for another round like that. It was terrible. Thanks again.
Awesome tractor love the bark of the 466
The IH DT series engines stand out.
We have had a 6788 since 1999. We bought it to plant with which we did for 13 years. we still have it and use it for rolling bean ground and sometimes put it on a grain cart. I really loved it when we first got it but the shifting does wear on you especially after having newer tractors with powershifts. We have talked about selling it maybe we will.
That is neat you have a 6788. When you replaced it as a planter tractor what tractor did you go with ?
@@bigtractorpower We found a Ford 8830 and planted with that until this year when we got a Cat Challenger 55. We still have the 6788 and are using it on our roller. Switched the Ford to full time sprayer tractor. We have all colors on our farm very nondiscrimination here.
I love farming even with old equipment
Good looking rig 👍
😁👍
Such cool tractors. Big fan of old iron.
The 70’s and 80’s produced some solid classics.
Great video as always good to see you again
Love the 2+2 as a kid got too see it all dam good video 👍😎📸🍺
One of my favorite tractors growing up. I remember them new on the lot.
Great commentary and very informative. Thanks for the video!! John T.
Thank you for watching.
I guy my dad went to school with still runs three of them and they still look great 👍 love the video 📸
Very cool.
Awesome video. Those are good tractors, we have a 3788.
Very cool. The 3788 is one of my favorite tractors.
Finally a 2+2! With duals.
The rear row crop duals do look good.
Case would have been ahead of the game if they kept making them
@@Thebigtipper101 I agree, but they should have kept on with the super 70's
It would have been neat to see where the 2+2 would have gone. There was an expire Magnum 2+2 but it did not go further than that.
Good video Jason, very informative as usual. Just think of a Case IH puma like that now.
An articulated PUMA, OPTUM or MAGNUM would be neat.
Meaning something like this 😁:
th-cam.com/video/Js6IqNTgYvs/w-d-xo.html
Valtra made articulated tractors that looked normal tractors ~100hp to
160hp
I'm not sure can you still buy new articulated Valtra, but at least late 90's to 2010's those were made.
Some later ones have also front wheel steering.
Some were used in agriculture, but i think mostly in forestry and municipal (road sweeper, snow plowing) use.
These IH 2+2 tractors are so cool and unique 😎
@@JS-1983 I remember seeing one of those in the uk. The owner had a business making wood shavings for horses. Valtra were trying to target livestock farmers, they were very good in farm yards where space was tight. I think the price put them off. Another example of machinery ahead of the competition.
happy tractor, no muffler, long nose and duals.
Thank you for this video IH has a special place in my heart. Love the older tractors!
IH was a great company. I have many good memories of visiting my local IH dealer as a kid.
That’s one helluva great looking team. The 2+2s were probably the best styled articulated tractor ever made, and those Cyclo planters are also quite the attention grabbers with the silver cylindrical grills rotated up front. Are those aluminum or stainless steel?
Nice 😍
Thank you for watching.
We have a 3588 and 3788 2+2 tractors. The 3788 has a terrible vibration in the hydraulic system and we can't figure it out. The 3588 has been a great work horse. We have run that tractor on a 3x4 big baler, 16n42 wischic disc, and our land roller. Been a good work horse.
Check the pump.

Great video.
Thank you for watching.
Great vídeo Jason.
Thank you for watching.
Nice
Thank you for watching.
In 1979 my dad decided we needed another tractor and it was going to be a new 2+2. We had the brochure which I read from end to end. So my dad had 12 year old me call around to IH dealers in southeast Minnesota pricing 3388’s and 3588’s. I don’t remember if the 3788 was out yet. I found I think it was 3 dealers who had them in stock. I got options lists and prices. I remember at least one of the salesman thought I was just a child wasting his time and asked what farm I was calling from? I replied with Walker Dairy Farm of Grand Meadow Mn. He said “well I’ve never heard of that one”. He must have been out of the loop because my dad was fairly well known being on the Minnesota Dairy Promotion Board for many years, giving speeches at Dairy Board meetings and attending $5,000 and $10,000 a plate Republican fundraisers including one that he was just about a foot away from sitting President Gerald Ford behind him over one chair to his left. My dad was often interviewed by farm reporters and farmers often visited for advice.
What great history. Thank you for sharing. Did your dad end up purchasing a 2+2. They are a great dairy tractor for tillage, forage harvesting and manure spreading. I hope to catch a 2+2 doing some pto work chopping and spreading some time to expand its story.
@@bigtractorpower
Yes new 3388 for $33,000. It had the extra lights and digital dashboard options. Other options it didn’t have but would have been nice was rear locking differential and rear auxiliary tank. We also had a new 986. Farm sold March 1981 after the divorce.
Great awesome video Jason. Jacob beheom has a 2 plus too on his channel
2+2s are one of my all time favorite tractors.
Good video.
Thank you for watching.
Great video, always been a fan of the 2+2’s! My dream is to own a super 70 someday! We are red through and through. Some of the tractors we use in our farming operation include a 1066 Hydro, 5288, 5488, 7230, and 305. We’d love to have you come to our neck of the woods in NW IA sometime and get some footage!
Very nice line up. I film in the Dyersville area twice a year. Drop me an email at toytractortimes@gmail.com
You and me both man. We've got a 3788 & would love to just be able to sit in a run a Super 70 someday. Where you at in NW IA? I'm in NE Nebr.
@@gregyoung6216 We are located between Sanborn and Sheldon.
@@jesseuittenbogaard6619 I see, not far from LeMars Iowa. I usually make a trip over to LeMars toy store once a year.
2+2's are so cool looking. They are so different but effective tractors. I've wonderd why they stopped making them? GO BTP 💪.
IH went bankrupt during the production of them, and when Case acquired IH making Case IH, they didn’t realize that these tractors were beating Deeres hands down in the row crop department like IH found out. They discontinued them as they thought it was a waste of time.
They were also a premium priced tractor that earned a bad rep. Some of the early ones had hydraulic issues, many of them saw front duals added and the injection pump turned way up, and the drivetrains just didn’t take that kind of abuse well. Many of the kinks were worked out with the 6X88 series, if IH could have put the Super 70’s on the market 1 or 2 years earlier, I think the 2+2 design would have lasted several more years in production.
Both of the replies to this post are correct. The Case IH merger brought an end to the 2+2. The Farmall plant closed and Case IH used Case built tractors from Racine, WI in 1985, 1986 and most of 1987. The Magnum was introduced in the summer of 1987 which was mostly an IH design with some Case input. A Magnum 2+2 prototype was built but never went any further.
@@bigtractorpower the Magnum 2+2 was in the Red 4wd tractors book by Lee Klancher. If anyone is interested in that book I recommend it.
Back in 1983 we almost purchased one of these Anteater tractors. I love it, but my dad was not a fan.
we got a 3788 sitting in the shop apart right now, the 2+2 idea is rather impressive if used like a proper row crop machine. it would have been interesting to see what they would have became had IH been ok
Cool on the 3788. It is too bad the Super 70 7488 and 7288 did not make it into full production.
In Germany IHC is a very common and popular brand.
Very good tractor to attractice prices. Therefore hey were market leader in Germany in the 70s.
But the product range was completely different. All the products were build and developed in the Neuss/Rhein plant.
In GB the prduct range was different, too. They had there own IHC plant.
Another awesome video, Jason! Thank you! And it's cool to see someone using markers, too!
Old school cool all the way.
I wonder what the average age is, of your subs.. I was in my 20s during the 1980 Farm Crisis.. Having a farm in your family for 80-100 years & losing it, affected so many people & farm related businesses.. Farming is not retail, you don't get to set your price, no matter what it cost you for your crop..
I was 8 years old when International Harvester was acquired by Tenneco and merged with Case. The area I grew up in was solidly IH with dairy farms, vegetable and grain farms. In the 1984-1986 time period many smaller farms with older owners retired and sold out. The IH dealer closed shortly after the merger. It did not seem Possible because everyone had red tractors. The rapid changes lead me to get camera and start taking pictures of local tractors because many of favorites I grew up watching dispersed. 25% of my viewers are 25-34 and 18% of my viewers are 35-44. 13% of the viewers are 45-54. A good portion of the viewers saw the decline in the 1980’s or saw the improved economy in the 1990’s. I remember hearing Paul Harvey news reporting about the end of IH. Shortly after Allis-Chalmers went out, WFE sold of its combines, Ford bought New Holland. Steiger and Versatile were acquired. It was a hard, surprising and disappointing time.
Dears, thanks for your video. I'm writing from Europe (Italy) and this kind of machines was never sold in EU. Quite interesting structure....but still struggling to understand fully the tractor's structure....
I had a 3588 it was one of my favorite tractors ..but I seemed to get it stuck often disking in the spring getting over confident with the four wheel drive .. took a little while to get used to the front end swinging around too... I had a big snoopy decal made for the front end ...
Very cool on the Snoopy decal. I have liked 2+2 tractors since I was a kid. I remember them being new in my local IH dealers lot. I would like to drive one some day to check out that long hood view.
mate there was only 347 made because these tractors were just starting production and got the whole production cancelled in 85 when case bought out international. if you’ve ever heard of an inter 7488, there was only 16 of them made because they had started production in 85 and it was the next month when case purchased international. we own a 79 3388 2+2 which we are planning on restoring. we have videos of that on a channel called My Allis G.
Getting it done the old way.
👍👍
There's a rowcrop farmer in the town I live in and he grows beets and he has two 2+2 set out two 88 inches because the row spacing is 22inches, one of them tops beets and the other cultivates!!!
It is definitely a sight to see but all he has is international, except for all of his trucks they are all mack's lol
Wow what a cool operation.
Great video! Not a lemon 🤣
Not at all. 😁👍
the guys having a fun day ridding around on Snoopy , don't get me wrong Im not making fun of the 2 plus 2 I always thought they were cool
They are a cool tractor. It’s neat this one is using a matching brand planter.
hi nice tractor what planting and where is this big field. corn and how many arca is this field, and how long does it take to come up. looks very dry there thanks for the video.
The tractor is in a 40 acre field no till planting soybeans. I think the 955 Carrie’s about 60 acres worth of soybean seed. With good warm weather crops will germinate in about 5 days. It has been an extra wet spring. A month of rain for most in the mid west. The surface may kick up some dust but the ground has plenty of water
👏👏👍👍🚜🚜
Thank you for watching.
Love the "Ant eater"
👍👍
You mean Snoopy 😉😂
Definitely a young man's tractor. They were cool in there time, but rough riding tractor.
I have not had a chance to drive but sure would like too.
@@bigtractorpower if you’re up in Michigan, you can take my 6588 for a spin!
That's the tractor I always wanted ☹️
I have one for sale
They are a neat tractor.
I was wondering if you’re gonna do a video on the 1456 or the 1206?
Dad says the nickname for that tractor was the anteater tractor 🐜
It was the Anteater. I mention the Anteater and Snoopy Nick names in the video. I Remember these tractors brand-new on the lot at my local international dealer and it seemed that everyone called them an anteater.
They never had them 2+2 in CNY where I grew up. Or at least I’ve never seen a one. The only ones I’ve seen were in pictures or in videos. Weren’t they called ant eaters at one time? Sweet video BTP.
Anteater is a nick name for a 2+2. I mentioned the Anteater and Snoopy nick names in the video. The 2+2 was a big seller in WNY in the Rochester area on dairy farms. They were good plowing, disking, planting, forage harvesting and manure spreading tractors. Thank you for watching and commenting. .
@@bigtractorpower sorry I didn’t hear some of what you were saying. my iPhone speaker kept messing up.
Around 1977 I worked on a farm as a teenager and they had what I believe was called a Ford Country 4x4 tractor . Unfortunately I thought it was the ugliest thing on 4 tires .Especially when I had lived on another farm that had a 3010,4020 and a 5020. But my stepfather bought a old what I called the Green Acres farm with one run down Oliver tractor. And he bought a Ford ... sel-lect to matic (?) . I've never loved these International tractors like this one. But a great video otherwise.
Ford County. Like a pre 4x4 from the time when Ford didn't do 4wd tractors themselves.
The County was a converted Ford with all wheel drive built in the UK. From 1972 to 1976 Ford included COUNTY tractors in their tractor line up in North America. The County sold in the US was about 70 Hp.
I did not realize the 2+2 was a row crop tractor.
The 2+2 was built to be a fwa type tractor with equal size wheels.
I never understood why Tenneco halted production of the 2+2 immediately after the Case International merger. It seems like it was a pretty useful design.
When Tenneco took over they did not buy the Farmall plant. They wanted the IH combines and implements. Tenneco used the Case tractor line to fill the Case IH line up from 1985 to 1987. In August 1987 the Case IH Magnum came out which was mostly an IH tractor but was built in Racine. Corporate synergy ended the 2+2.
PS Do you know what year this particular model was built?
I do not know which model year this 6788. It is some time between 1981 and 1984.
There is a farmer here in Southern Illinois with a similar setup
Very cool.
I have a 3388 aardvark. Dad had a 3788 as well.
Very nice.
