I know he sure is partial to them IH's, but if he would like something he could plow in the rain with, he should definatly consider the Allis Chalmers 8000 series with 4wd. They got a super nice cab on them, very quiet, even outside the tractor, nice air conditioning, very roomy cab, diff lock, full powershift transmission with high and low range. As far as usebility goes, you would appreciate this Allis a whole lot more than a 1566. The tractor in the picture is a 8070, which is 170hp and the biggest of the series, they also had 110hp, 130hp, and 150hp in that series. I spent part of 1 summer in an 8050 towing a disk and I thought it was impressive with it's pulling power, I pulled a disc with it and with 4wd, the rain didn't stop it. I expect after I post this there will be guys complaining about the engines blowing up, which I don't think was as much of a problem, they will last quite awhile, especially in your case where your just hobby farming, and if your that worried, then go ahead and refresh the motor every 4,000hrs or so. For the price of them, they are a bargain tractor, but they are far from junk and I would say they are just overlooked by most farmers, the one in the picture is listed by a dealer and he is asking $25,000. The farm I had worked for used their 8050 for heavy tillage, it worked great, they had rice and cane tires all the way around with duals, darn near unstoppable in mud.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
