Cliff, I totally agree. To me, it doesn't matter if I'm running 80 or 800 acres, horsepower and field performance count. Even if the performance difference is minimal between these two tractors, I want the tractor that delivers the most bang for the buck, and I believe it is the 856. In another post, it stated that these older tractors aren't used as the primary tractors, I again have to disagree. One of my neighbors, who runs around 1000 acres, doesn't even own a newer $100,000 tractor. His newest tractor is a 1979 1586. His other tractors are a 1486,966,856, and a good old 300. I see his 966 and 856 regularly out in the field pulling a disk,five bottom plow, etc... He just recently went through the 1486 after 7700 hrs of punishment. The cost of doing that didnt even come close to the cost of a new 140hp tractor. That 1486 might not be as comfortable as todays tractors, but it will probably last longer.
Final word, I'll take Red any day!!! P.S. Those 1066's, in my opinion were the best tractor,besides the M, that Farmall/IH ever made.Thanks again for the post Cliff. IH1, The Hobby Farmer(80 acres)

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
