when i was in high school, our biggest tractor was a farmall 300. by my senior year, we were plowing more ground than the 300, super c and neighbor's 350 farmall all plowing together, could keep up with. dad decided to get a bigger tractor, and tried out a 706, 4020 and 3020, allis 190xt, david brown something or other, not sure about oliver (a picture i wish i would have taken of them lined up on our lawn). then dad heard about a widow with a year-old 806 that had only run an irrigation pump. he went and looked at it and bought it. what a horse! 6 cylinder diesel, narrow front, fast hitch, no fenders, but who cared about fenders, 2 ptos, though it was several years before we had anything that needed 1000 pto. it was a monster, after running that 300. you felt like you were sitting on top of the world. he bought a 550 semimounted plow for it too. my brother still has the 806. it is tired, with over 11000 hours on it but the engine has never been apart. he uses it for haying now.
