What an old Brute. I like the old 1206s. NF not a big deal but I much prefer the Wide Fronts overall for general use. Don't get me wrong, for doing yard work, turning short, a 300 Farmall even without P/S is an awesome tractor for a hobby farm. I grew up on a 400 LPG with a narrow front and it was a good tractor but I wish it was wide front, especially since we had a loader on it. I had to be very careful with it. We also had a JD B with a narrow front and it was handy with the narrow front mowing the small pastures with woven wire fences and the ole #5 sickle mower.
I have graduated to a 560 diesel with a wide front now and do a lot of ditch mowing and LOVE the W/F end. If I had my perference it would be a wide front as I feel so much more stable and safe on it. I guess my dad worried me to death with the narrow fronts and took some of the joy out of using them but at least I never had any accidents thank goodness.
I worked for a couple different farmers row cropping and they all had wide front ends on their 706, 806, 856 and 1066 that I used. I also worked for a fella that had a 7600 Ford, 8600 and TW20 Fords. Those brazillian diesels performed great. They all also had W/F ends.
For the novelty, that 1206 looks awesome in its work clothes, my cousin has one the same color scheme and his is a WF, I love them both. They each have their place.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
