what skeletons are comming out of the closet on the Magnums? My local dealer said the Magnum is the best product he has ever sold "hands down" Sure there were some early problems with the early engines but who makes a perfect tractor?
One of my magnums has over 5000 hours and no problems exept a leaking break o ring and it was fixed with the warrinaty. They are still "new tractors" as compared to the 1066 and 1086 I was running in the 80's with aproximately same hours and I was putting 500-800 hours a year and interest was 16% a fellow could not afford to give them away nor hardly fix them. I shucked the 1066 & 86 as fast as possible after a couple good years and have never looked back. I did purchase a 806 (look under International 806) I had owned the same tractor before. Yes IH did a gread job with the 06 and 56 models but the 806 was always a better tillage tractor than the 856 in my eyes cause the 806 had 34 inch tires and 33% TA and the 56 had 38 inch tires and 22% TA.
I hope there will still be Magnums around to purchase while I farm for 10 to 12 more years and then my son can decide.
One thing that has always made me loyal to IH is we have always had a Super IH dealer! Now he is a CaseIH dealer and I purchased a little Hesston equipment from the local Deere Dealer and realized how well I was treated at the IH dealer.
