Ahh. The glorious "Anteater". Used to run a 3388 2+2. One of my all time favorites. Always be sure to grease the u joints on that one shaft that spins constantly at engine RPM and runs to the back half every day.
I'd give anything to have a 3588, rear duals, and brand new paint and power. Beautiful tractors. Wish Case would've kept them today. Can you imagine a "2022 Case IH Magnum 2+2 340".
Somebody someday might bring this design back. Great visibility to the back and equal weight over both axles. Too bad Case IH dropped them. Once perfected it could have been quite a thing.
Great seeing tractor movies ,thanks 👍😊
"How long have you had it"
"Oh not too long, just long enough"
let me tell you, thats about 5 minutes, I love my 3588, these tractors are impressive
If there ever were a "gentle giant" in the world of tractors, this would be it.
yes sir. :) thanks 4 watching. :)
Thanks for uploading this.
ur welcome. :)
Fun Fact: international had a fleet of 2 Great Lakes Freighters. Their names? The SS International and SS Harvester
Ran one of these on a feed wagon. Monuvered great around the lot. I loved the tractor hated the doors.
I remember watchinthis video at our local ih dealer when dad was lookin at one well we got one it has served us well at half of the fuel of our 4430 jd we still have both
We had a 6588 for decades. As a kid growing up it was the easiest "big" tractor to operate and learn on. Just point and go. We upgraded to a Steiger Cougar later on. The Steiger was more powerful and better, but the steering had a learning curve when seeding or harrowing as you needed to run past where you wanted to go.
One of the best tractors ever. IH listened to the farmers on this one. But then IH workers got hypnotized by the UAW and went on strike in the late 70s. The IH strike hurt IH a lot. It probably didn't keep them from going under, but it definitely sped it up.
Systorable 4 sare. :) strike hurts everything. but 2 bad it happened 2 ih
they striked because IH made way too many budget cuts in the late 70s to boost profits, which included dropping many product lines and severely cutting pay of employees.
Great piece of IH history, even if the audio track is a bit cheesy.
Thanks for finding this film and putting it here.
The 2+2 tractors are true row crop tractors and are amazingly nimble for their size.
Previous to this 4WD tractors were mainly used for broadacre grain farming.
Regards from Michael, an Australian IH tractor enthusiast.
they r good tractors. :) ya sorry about the audio.:( ur welcome & thanks 4 watching. :)
Michael Halsall We had 13 IHC tractors, some over 50 years old and they all earned their keep.
We had 1 of the 319 6788 2+2s growing up that had the pump turned up far enough it'd leave a smoke trail from one end of the field to the other pulling a 5 shank earthmaster. It was a fun tractor to run, but our 7140 Magnum was where I rode most of the time.
Hey nothing wrong with the old stuff. It's what got the job done and that's all that matters.
Cool tractors, I wish the farming industry would have gone this way with tractors like this and the White and Caseih rowcrop special articulated tractors rather than these stupid looking fwa tractors they make these days .
this tractor seems to be in high demand now I guess the rest of world has finally caught up to what the engineers created
thats what im thinking 2..
What!!!?!?!
Only as a collectors item. In reality, a FWA tractor is much more practical in todays world and a hell of a lot more reliable.
Wow Amazing Video I hope to See more from you soon!! I Can Tell you put time into The Video! Keep up the Good Videos!
thanks. :)
the vid is awsome
They were a good tractor. The only down side was that front axel. Not nearly enough oscilation. Ive seen quite a few of them with broken axels, most of the time from running duals though. Thanks for putting this up.
I know I’ve heard farmers who used these really talk highly of them. But I remember when they first started showing up at the dealership, I thought that long anteater looking snout was the ugliest thing I’d ever seen and it looked like you’d have to take them to the airport to turn them around at the end of the row.
I still think the 66 and 86 series were the best looking tractors any manufacturer ever built. I guess I’m partial because that’s what we farmed with.
the 2+2's r nice but i like the 86 series more & i have 1.. :)
@@MrJohndeere3720 wish I still did - and a place to use it. Maybe again one day
@@tannertuner what did u have ??
@@MrJohndeere3720 we got a 1586 new in 77 I think it was. It was the first big tractor for my grandfather’s farm. Up until then my grandfather had done everything with a 504. My dad and his brother in law rented hundreds of additional acres and planted soybeans and corn and 33 acres of tobacco, which at the time was a lot of human labor. Dad had a full time job and was actually commuting 70 miles to farm on the weekends and off days.
They apparently had a hard time getting used to the hydraulic brakes on the 86 and busted the bull gear a couple of times. The second time was in planting season and it took a long time for the shop to get it fixed and it put us behind planting that year. So my dad found a 1566 open station at auction sometime not long after that to make sure we weren’t without a tractor again.
The price he paid for the 1566 made a lot more sense than the new price on the new 86. That quiet cab with a/c and a fantastic stereo system were nice and I loved it. But they really should have bought a used tractor to start out with. He even could have bought a 1566 with a cab at an auction before the 86 went down but didn’t.
We had a chance to buy a 986 from my dad’s uncle who was being foreclosed on and we kept it a while. I used it a bit while we had it. I actually wish we had bought that one because we started a hay business in the late 80s when I was in college. We used the 1566 for that but it was really too much tractor for a round baler. And it wasn’t so big I couldn’t have cultivated with it. I liked them all but the 986 really made a lot more sense in retrospect.
@@tannertuner o ok nice. :) i have a 1586 as well.. its 2 replace our farmall 400.. been slowly fixing it up.. mine is over kill 4 our farm but thats ok.. mines a 78 model.
I grew up using a 3388 and a 3788 nearly every day. I prefer using them over a conventional tractor for almost any use. You obviously can't just put your foot on one brake and spin around at the end of the field like the others, but it makes up for it in traction.
nice. :) ya they have there ups & downs..
I had a 3588 at one point while I was farming 150 hp turned up to 180 hp all 4 wheels were duals
They looked cool too. Better than the versatiles.
Also, I drew an articulated tractor once, so perhaps I should have taken a cue from the 2+2 when designing it.
nice. :) thanks 4 watching. :)
CaseIH should bring back the 88 series (2+2's) they would probably be a great seller.
ya they should :)
And you get International's infamous rear ends with final drives still from the OG Farmall Regular's that we've been known to pass on and on and on from one model to the rest.... it's what makes your IH an International.....
yeup, 15 years ago I worked on a farm that ran 3 3588s and 1 3788. We blew out rear ends on 2 of them. one of them was almost impossible to shift the range box even tho it had been to 3 different dealers for repair. Granted three of them had well over 10000 hours on them. All in all they were decent tractors, looked pretty dang good too. My biggest gripe with them is for being 4x4 articulated they would get stuck so easy and it seemed like as soon as you started spinning, you were buried up to the axle.
All of IH's shifters were messed up at that time. Not just the longnose.
I saw a 2+2 with the front axel broken off
and then towed to get it fixed
ya that can happen, sad. :(
How cool would it be if Case IH would have made the new Rowtrac with the cab on the rear half of the tractor.
pretty cool :) thanks 4 watching. :)
Could I get a copy of this .
hey mr johndeere3720 could u tell me the guys name? id also like a copy
I wish Case IH would come out with a new version of these today.
ya but they would not be that good..
What's wrong with your B? Is it the culti-vision model B? (Think that's what some were called?)
"I don't get the drift," lol. Actually I have one but they were not very ergonomic. I ripped my pants on two occasions simply getting out of the cab. Although minor, it had some inherent mechanical issues too.
LOL :)
What is a used 3588 2x3 with 2400hrs worth, decent shape but probably needs tires & batteries.
i go off of tractorhouse .com & they show 9k to 20k. so i would start at 13k only becuz of low hrs.
MRJOHNDEERE3720 shit and I heard that tires can be 900+ each!? That’s another 7200, he also has a 22ft PUL Flail mower as well in decent shape
if u plan on putting new tires on it, then add that $7200 2 the price of the tractor.. im not sure what the mower would go 4, i would need the make & model number of it. i paid $8900 for my 1586 but then i had 3K of work done 2 it + another $300 of work done 2 it that i did myself, so now my tractor could go for 12,200. but im not done yet..lol if u think 13K is 2 low u can go up, go up 2 what u think is a far price. the 9K to 20K i gave u is the price range i've seen most go 4.. ya big tractor tires are $900+. we have a ih 400 gas & when the back tire blew out we had a 1k bill. my tractor tires are 10x bigger then whats on the 400, so if i had a blow out, im looking at a 2K+ bill . & thats only for 1 tire..
Without rear duals and weight using the 3 point pulling a heavy load it would tend to dog track, such a pulling the old hippers when bedding for cotton on hill sides, I know I ran a new 3588 on a cotton farm but you could'nt beat it pulling a 30' disk or 3 shank sub moisture plow.
Put dual on it they said it'll be fun they said El Krakow
my dad has a 3388. takes a while to get used to driving it what with the whole nose turning on you!
NICE. :) ya im sare it does.. :)
Where did you find this old film at anyways?
ebay..
few things I didn't like about the 2+2, steering was too sensitive ride was rough and sometimes the hood would release and slide forward if you hit ruts hard enough
ya that's never good. 2 bad there was some updated parts 2 fix that. thanks 4 watching :)
We installed little rubber ball clamps
Not trashing the 2+2 anteater, but this tractor should have never been designed. It used up valuable time and money that ihc did not have, they needed to get the fifty series developed to help save the company and compete with deere!
mgtowfish73 I was constantly having to steer. We just plowed wheat ground. l can't imagine row cropping.
i have heard that from other farmers as well!
mgtowfish73 I agree the 50 series should have come out much earlier ,the drive trains were far superior to the 86 series.
interman 77 what wasn’t superior about the 5088 series?
The best 2 2 is the. 3788
Case IH should reintroduce this tractor with rubber tracks.
ya they should, just as long as it does not have all that emissions BS on it , like all the newer tractors have..
MRJOHNDEERE3720
Wonder if anyone has put a Soucy Track system on a 2+2 anteater...
@@eatingamandarin dont no..
They don't make them like they used to
Ford had the idea first. County Super 6
It wasnt Fords idea. And the Matbro Mastiff was closer to the anteater.
Better run that TA in high or it will grenade.
they grenade no matter what....lol
@@MrJohndeere3720 my grandfather owned an IH dealership and I don't know how many we welded up to disable them.
@@tombig4011 o very cool. i wish IH was still there own business.. tell ur grandfather hes a badass guy. :) i know a guy who had his TA removed in his 1086.
The problem with the 2 + 2 was the nose was way too long. IH should have put the fuel tank somewhere else, that would have shortened it up considerably. The other problem it had was IH should have made it clear this was not the same as a large from four wheel drive. Guys put duals on and pulled the hell out of them and trany's couldn't take it. The problem with the 88 series two wheel drives was that stupid reverse flow fan. Dumb idea and it didn't work.
they should have left the tanks under & behind the cab that would have shorten them up alot.. the reverse flow fan most likely did not have the power 2 work in extreme conditions..
@@MrJohndeere3720 Actually, behind the cab was a dumb idea too. The 86's had that, and you couldn't see the drawbar to hook up an implement, unless you used the mirror IH installed. Better place for the fuel tank would be under the steps, like all tractors have today.
@@GermanShepherd1983 well i dont mind the tank behind the cab. u can still see the drawbar but ur face would be in the window...lol but ya the best place is under the steps. most have the fill neck at eye level. where as the 86's had it over ur head..
IH just waited too long before updating their tractor technology. By the time they hit the market with their new very innovative tractors we were in our depression. Nobody was buying much let alone updating machinery. Auctioneers were busy selling out upside down farmers. Hollywood was making movies based on our miseries. Actresses who had only made a movie about farming were testifying before Congress in our behalf. Willie Nelson came up with Farm Aid. We were just hanging on coming off double digit inflation and doubling interest rates on borrowed money (thank you Jimmy Carter). And then JI Case came along and didn’t see the advantage that had been laid in their lap. They immediately stopped the production of IH tractors and only saw it as an opportunity to repaint and sell their backlog of Cases. The 80s! Sooo many missed opportunities……..
Yep d@mn Carter and his Soviet grain embargo, among his many other failures, which precipitated if not outright caused the 80's farm crisis... Well, that and the continuation of failed fiscal and ag policies, and stagflation coupled with super high interest rates and the Arab oil embargoes. I still remember as a kid sitting in line for gas... odd numbered plates could get gas one day, even number plates the next...
Now we're getting ready to do it all again. Probly just quit this time around; don't feel like trying to muddle through for ten+ years waiting for things to get better...
Later! OL J R :)
@@lukestrawwalker And…..this Democrat is not only doubling down on Carter’s “misery index”, they’re shooting for the moon‼️ Looking like lots of people will be setting their thermostats back to 68 again and wearing sweaters…..just like in Jimmy’s little “fireside chat”‼️
Before it's over we may be lucky to have beans and tortillas... I've never seen such total incompetence... OL J R
@@lukestrawwalker I wish it was only incompetence! It’s much more netherious
@@formerfarmer1718 yeah I think so too... There are no coincidences
Snoopy
I know guys love the 2+2, but I look at them as a waste of a good 1486 and a half.
Oh god, pointing a camera at a TV screen to “transfer” it to digital? Unwatchable.
it needs 2 be redone..
Ahh the old Snoopy’s so ugly that they were cool looking tractors. They were a very unique design. Not like the ugly garbage tractors of today
This video made me want to puke. Lol.
+SubvenioArguo lol
Horrible sound
u dont like it but yet ur subscribed 2 my channel??
Ugliest tractor EVER 😂
ur just talkin crazy....lol
Thank you lol because me and my brother have always said this so I read all the comments to see how many other people said this lol. Our farmer neighbor had one for years and we were very impressed with how ugly it was 😂
One of ugliest tractors in the world. I could shit in a box and call it a 2 plus 2.
