I tend to agree with Delta on the 806. Have not heard anything on engine parts being hard to find for the D361. It is a good reliable motor. Many of them are still in operation today and going strong.
Yes the 1070 is a newer and bigger tractor. Seeing as they are both open station, nothing to compare there. If they had cabs, I would lean toward the Case cab. If you wanted to add a cab later on I think it would be easier on the 806. Many aftermarket cabs will fit.
I don't really know what really makes an 806 crude though. Don't forget these tractors were built in the 60's. As far as the saying a TA is either going out or is out, is hogwash. Even if it is, rebuild for it is a lot cheaper than a powershift and used properly will last a lifetime. Any time you use something it starts to wear out. so this saying could also be said about anything, Doesn't matter what it is.
Keeping the linkages adjusted or replacing worn parts will make them easy enough to shift.
Using hytran and SAE 30 oil and correct filters will keep it running a long time.
Either tractor is quite the upgrade from a 460. Both will do what you want them to do. I don't have an 806, but I do have a 856 which is a little bigger and a little newer. Really like it. I bleed red as you can probably tell, but I do like the Case tractors as well. Wouldn't mind having a nice one with a cab for the round baler.
