Bob: The 766 and early 886 had the 360 cubic inch American diesel while later 886 had 358 cubic inch German diesel. Our dealer sold a wack of these to 50-70 cow dairy guys for use on forage harvesters. The German engine was a big disappointment on torque, just didn't have the staying power on a forage harvester. He had probably sold more of these than any other single model since the Supers A, C, or H

I don't know how familiar you are with forage harvesters but often by the time you pull back the TA the load was already in there. It took torque and lots of it to carry you through. It was quite different from plowing or disking, whereby when the load hit you hit thr TA.
