We have run Farmall H's, M's, Super M's, and a BN for years. Love them all. Our bigger tractors have all been Cases until about 10 years years go when we decided to get a 756, and then got an 806 a few years later hoping for better results. What a big disappointment! No low end torque from either of them - always shifting - and shifting is just the handiest thing as you grind away from one ot the next, and then hope like crazy that it will stay in when going down hill with a load of silage behind you. They do have their nice points - they're great for hauling silage - heavy, great traction, and handy pto for unloading. But fast hitches, gear grinding, slipping torques, and lack of low end torque will prevent us from trying any more of the later model IH's. We'll stick with the good old original farmalls - we kind of think things slowly went down hill after the M's and H's. These two tractors have also spent more time in our shop than the rest of our fleet of over 15 tractors combined since we have owned them. Usually nothing serious - just nagging time consuming problems - who's idea was it to put the fuel tank on top of the engine anyways! We have had some of the best IH mechanics around working on both of them at times, and when they were done they say that they're both about average for what they usually see for 756's and 806's. If that's average - we'll stick with our Cases. No color war intended - just a little frustrated with them and needed to vent. The H's and M's will never leave, but the 756 and 806 are getting closer to the door every year.
