I have always wondered why I don't see more of the IH guys who are interested in buying an older international tractor go for the 2+2 . I see a ton of people buying 1066, 1086, 966, 1206 etc but hardly anybody picks up these 4wd beasts. I considered buying one a few years ago but actually ended up with a white. I actually saw a mint condition 2+2 at an auction about a year after I bought mine. Just wonder why more of them don't get used a lot more. I could see not buying one new because you were looking at 50-$70,000 dollars way back then but it is different now and they can be had for $4000 to about $10,000 for a really nice one. They are basically the same as the bigger IH two wheel drives but with the added benefit of being 4wd which helps a lot in wet falls and springs where a 2wd tractor is limited. They remind me of a hopped up MFWD tractor at a fraction of the price. I guess if they are terribly problematic I can understand but you would think they would be almost as good as the two wheel drive versions with a whole lot more to offer for the price. I would think one of these set up with a oversized set of radial single tires all around would be about unstoppable and a great no till planting or strip till pulling, grain cart pulling, manure tanker puller. Many of you out there still using them? Just seems like all the IH guys would want them including Allen in NE. Later people.
