This is the second time I had to type a response for this thread!!!!! The 1468, 4586, and 4786 were really not that good as everyday production tractors. The V8 tractors that stuck around or came in from the Mid West all had Cat, Cummins, and even a Deutz engine stuck in them. The 4386 was not much better as the 466 engine was overmatched in a 4 wheel drive application. For all the tongues hanging out over 1206's today it sure did not seem that way when they were an everyday work tractor. Part of the problem was it was too much power for a 2 wheel drive tractor and few came with a MFWD option.
IH was not extremely competitive on equipment prices. Three of the region's biggest IH dealers carried New Holland. I was told by one salesman that NH had better pricing to the dealers which they could pass onto the customers. Another large IH dealer double up by carrying Hesston, Deutz, Wilrich, Steiger, Versatile, and Kinze. On average IH was 1.15 to 1.2 times the price of NH. What IH did well was having a very group of dealers that supported products well. Further, IH did improve its product line on average from 1965 to 1980. In some cases such as with the 56 blower they were the leader.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
