The local (West Phoenix, Az) BTO has several 3010, 3020, 4010 and 4020's JD's going, and after that I loose track of them, though they also have plenty of BIG NEW tractors too.
As brake down prone as the IHC 806 was that my grandpa had, no wonder there passing to the hands of restores and pullers- Grandpa was just a "hobby farmer" who did "custom farming" for 1-5 acre horse properties (by the time he got the 806 in the late 90's, mostly just planting winter pasture)-Every single time he tried to use that thing, it broke down, requiring another 30 mile trip to the nearest CNH dealer, who usually didn't have the part anyhow.
That said I think there may still be a few 806 or 706's and newer stuff that are used by the local BTO's, but not many.
P.S. I like all colors of tractors (Dad currently only uses AC WD45's, a CA and a 3010 JD for his needs on two acres of pasture, but has two IHC's as someday projects), but not the 806, Grandpa was an IHC mechanic. I'm probably not fair as the 806 he got probably was worn out and maybe a lemon to begin with, but after that scrap heap, I want nothing to do with another 806!
