Lets see here how hard do we work them ??? well the 1066 does all the heavy stuff now on my buddy's place as it replaced a 65 706 gasser and that replaced a S/M This year it got the bag worked off it pulling a Landoll Chisel that has been barn yard re engineered with five DMI parabolic deep till shanks with seven inch tiger points . The old DMI block man told us that there was noway a 1066 would pull it in our soil . Yea wright she did it in first high after we were able to keep the rims from spinning in the tires and at 14 inches deep in clay As for hour put on per year well over 12-1500 hours His 1066 was found dead in the dead row and we have gone thru it from the rad cap to the pto . Don't know where ya get the idea that the brakes are no good as they are good enough to stop the silage wagons in our country and we do have hills . And OBTW they usually weigh in at over 26-29000 lbs coming out of the field As we had to weigh each one one year for the ASC . My 806 has almost10000 hrs on her and five years ago was the first time that the valve cover was off . And three years ago i had to put a new clutch in her as i pulled the center out of the disc pulling silage wagons , i was coming up a hill and she broke traction and bounced a couple times and the rest is history . As for crops around here Haw it is anybodys guess as what will come of this year. Early corn that came up looks good in some spots and i do mean spots as the rest of the field never came up . The next planting window crops don't look to bad but they will not yield like they should and there is some ground that never got planted . We were real late getting corn in , the latest we ever planted . We need to fill three cribs , But if nothing else we will chop it . Today i mowed the start of second crop hay and till have one field of first to mow yet. That field i am not looking forward to doing as it will put a pucker factor in your seat. IT is steep and also has a nasty side hill that is vary hard to keep the haybine in the cut then ya have the ground hog holes , hit one of them on the side hill and it will make your heart beat a tad faster. The land is rented ground and the land owner will not let us shell we say remove them as he thinks they are cute. I cna tell ya this that the vary first T/A i did for a customer went into a 1066 that has the wick turned up and it is still going strong after 20 years So you can throw your 3000 hr. out the winder. IF you do not adjust them then yea they will fail don't care it it is a mech . T/A or a hyd. T/A . If you have to fight the gear shift to get it out of gear then it needs adjusted .And that my boy is what causes them to fail. And also using the Hyd. T/A as a braking system will over stress the sprag and then it will fail. And you speak of power shift, YEa they are nice BUT guess what they go out also .It is like this , IF MAN MADE IT IT WILL BREAK don't care what it is it will break .

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
