@bigtractorpower wow! What a great find and nice video. Love the Farmall Internationals. My dad's planting team when I was a kid was a 6 row International planter pulled by a AC D-17 tractor.
Love the old classic tractors and equipment
Nothing sounds better than those old IHC Diesel engines. I miss that sound from my childhood listening to my dad and my grandpa run their 1066 and 766.
Of course there is....JD 4020, 4520, 4620, 5010, 5020 and so so many others
Just some friendly advice here bruh - people who look like you do usually don’t post shirtless pictures of themselves
Ole Ronnie with the Gutless 20 and 10 series Comment .🤦🏻♂️
Wow! That planter was ahead of its time for sure
Love the old red ones - / - thank you
Close memories for me... For 66 series we had a 966 on the farm for 40 years... I remember learning to plow on the 1456, then grandpa bought a 1586, with a CAB!!!!
Yep. Our first big tractor was a 1586 with a cab. And dad later found a 1566 open station as a backup. But we probably used it as much or more than the 86. Would have loved to have had a 966, 886 or 966 for baling hay
Love the sound of those IH motors. Had a 1973 white cab 766 and it was a great tractor even at 9000+ hours
That’s a smart farmer no fancy GPS to go down and still getting the job done that’s why IH was years ahead of the competition 👍👍👍👍👍
Old school equipment love it👍
I got to run a white cab 1066 a few times as a kid,best memories ever! Thanks for the video.
Its good seeing ih equipment still working hard. I grew up in white cab 66 series. Mostly in the trusty 1466. Sure miss that tractor. Never had 1566, always wanted one
It's too bad CIH discontinued the Cyclo planter, they were a great planter and very simple to work on. I'll run my 950 until the day I retire.
They are great planter. My friend who owns this 1566 and Cyclo really likes his. He had just upgraded from an 8 row IH vertical fold 3pt model to this Case IH 16 row which he fondly refers to as the crazy fold planter.
That was really cool to learn about the planter I’ve never seen one like that before and as always it’s great to see positive equipment out working in the field doing what they were designed to do
Someone driving down the road 3 months from now won't know the difference between that field and the one next to it planted with a half million dollar planter and half million dollar tractor!
That’s defined not a half million dollar tractor maybe 30,000 at most
Enjoyed the video. 30 years ago when I was farming a 6 row would have been huge. We had a 2 row no-till AC planter. About 12 acres per day, but then we only planted about 30 acres of corn/year.
Very cool. What type of tractor did you run? What was the corn raised for?
Great video. My grandfather had the same setup on our farm when I was growing up,and it was nice to see it in action again . I had forgotten how the planter folded up. Loved the video.
Great video. Always nice to see the old equipment still doing and getting the job done
In the late 90’s I took a John Deere 7100 8 row, took all of the boxes off and added a cyclo air box to the bar. It worked great! Still have it but we don’t use it.
Thanks for the great video! Have always wanted to see one of them planters fold and unfold great stuff!
Weird how that planter folds/unfolds & lifts. What a find! Ah the memories of all those hard steel surfaces inside a 1970s tractor cab. I banged my head way too many times and dreaded the button on top of the farm hats.
Love the sound of the 1566 brings back memories. Several years ago I saw a cyclo planter like that but it was on a custom made 3pt. Toolbar. It had 3 seedboxes and set up to plant on top of seven 76" sugarcane bedded rows. It had three planter units for each bed. Looked very heavy. I believe a 315 magnum on singles was planting with it.
Nive planter
Awesome video! Really cool find.That was quite the planter back then. 16 row was huge at that time. Thanks Jason.
Good old red!
Thank you so much for posting this Classic equipment. Those cyclo planters are Great planters. 3 of the 6 rows in my family.
That is an was duo. Thanks for finding this and sharing. Looks like he takes great care of the equipment.
That's really cool to see the old style cyclo planter. The drums had 8 rows and I remember when we used big flat rubber bands to cover up the extra rows on 4 and 6 row planters. I don' t think we ever thought about needing more than 8 rows back then.
Had the 12 row planter toy as a kid but this is the first time I’ve actually seen one in action and fold. Super neat!
Wish I still had all the ERTL 1/16 scale trucks and tractors me and my best friend had as kids.
My grandson would love them.
Yeap I had the 1/64 toy and always thought it was cool since it was so different than the Deere planters.
Just exactly as I was watching and wondering how in the WORLD you caught that machinery in the field, your beautiful flowing locks flitted out in front of the camera. Thanks Jason for posting. I ran a 1566 for a neighbor in the Fall of '75 just after I graduated. We were plowing with a 6-18 in some pretty heavy clay. Then later on about 1979, I worked for this same man and planted with an end pull 12 row. I had it down to about 7 minutes to fold or unfold from transport. Thanks again. I LIKE these type of videos!!
Really? What beautiful flowing locks are you talking about? You sound really gay so get out of here with that nonsense. And it figures you like ih as well.
@@ronmeier8850 do you like to be rude to others for no reason at all. It makes you sound like a bully.
Good to see a old classic tractor still going to this day
Oh Hell Yeah!!!!
Well when you finally get it unwound it sure does the job. Never seen a planter like that. The 1566 sounds good too.
It is a solid planter. It does a good job.
good for these farmers for preserving their equipment like this. no kill program for these guys.
They'll last a long time if you maintain them. Up front they're expensive though. Not sure why he couldn't have a muffler on it. Might lose half a horsepower maybe.
On my dad farm will have a INTERESTING 1566 and I Love it
Wow that was Beautiful! That sound Made of those machines is awesome.
It sure did. The 66 series have such a solid sound in the field and on the road.
Beautiful piece of equipment love tractor and planter
One of my favorite videos from BTP!
Love it still doing it’s job !!
I have heard alot of great things about these planters especially the way they raise and fold up make it extremely easy to work on them to fix and do maintenance. If I get back into row crops I have considered these planters for those reasons.
I had a brand new black stripe 1566. Last new 66 series tractor my dealership sold, there were new 86 series tractors on the lot also but more $$$. Thanks to Jimmy Carter I had to sell out in 1981, my 1566 had 900 hours on it at the time of sale, still looked brand new.
Wow, taht is such a classic unit. Case IH should sponsor it for beeing that good in shape!
That was the first tractor I bought on my own. I was a senior in high school. Paid 8200 for it. Still have it 21yrs later
Very cool. The 1566 is one of the great IH machines.
We had one on our farm too. Dad found an open station for $6500 at a nearby auction. Also had a 1586. The 1566 wound up being the one I drove most. I was young. Who needs air conditioning?
@@tannertuner which was the better tractor, the 66 or the 86? I always thought the 66s looked a bit nicer specially with no cab sitting up on duels. If it aint red..........
@@stevenowen4150 I loved them both for different reasons. Our 1566 was open station. The 1586 had the full cab with a better stereo system than was in our car. The A/C was cold and the cab was tight and quiet. So the only music and air you got on the 66 was the song in your head and the hot breeze off of the engine. But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
The 86 was supposed to have slightly more HP. It also had slightly larger rear tires. You sat forward of the rear axle in the 86, so it was a tad easier to stay on your row marker and the ride was better.
It seemed like a mile from the seat to the hood ornament on the 66 but it was easier to see to hook up and the action behind you from the seat.
I preferred the more convenient location of the gear shift levers in the 86 next to the seat and we never had issues with the linkage. But the 66 had linkage issues when we got it (used) and fought them quite a while until dad finally got our mechanic to remedy them. The fuel tank on the 86 was much larger but if you had an implement attached you might need a longer hose to reach the fill hole, whereas you could pull up to the front with the 66.
I think the big thing was the hydraulic brakes in the 86. You could bust a bull gear turning at the end of the row with all that HP and hydraulic brakes, and I think we busted two before we learned how to be gentle, which was the reason he picked up the 1566 as a 2nd big tractor. I don’t think the brakes on the 66 were hydraulic but I could be wrong.
There are reasons I would choose one over the other. Loved them both.
I also got to use a 986 for a brief time and liked it very much too. Never got to work with the lower HP 66 series.
Congratulations,man...✌👍
Love the bark of the 436
Great sounding engine😊
Wow amazing video beautiful International tractor great machine have a nice weekend keep up the good work
Thank you for watching.
66 series is the best . Love seeing these guys using older equipment,just like the guys you did the video on using the older John Deere stuff several videos back 👍
It is always fun to get to feature the classics still at work.
Although I grew up on a John Deere farm I had an uncle that ran the "Red". This was a nice looking tractor here. i was fascinated by the planter though. I had never seen this model before. Quite fascinating development for it's time. Very good video. I appreciate once again all that you do. Keep up the good work. Old farm boy now retired in upstate New York. Grew up on 600 acre farm in Washington State.
The 1566 is one of those stands out tractors like a John Deere 6030 and Allis-Chalmers D-21. I grew up near Rochester, NY. 👍👍
@@bigtractorpower I agree with your assessment. I now live in Liverpool just north of Syracuse. I go to Strong University Hospital in Rochester for occasional heart issues.
I like that you showed the planter unfolding and then folding for transport again. Also like your statement that 1566 production was from the fall of 74 through fall of 76. I thought it ended in summer 1976, but either way, that is a much more accurate description than most sources give.
What an awesome video!!
Love them old farmalls
Thanks for catching this one Jason ,btw I ran a 1066 ,1466 ,866 and 766 back in the day .
Don't believe they made 866
@@tonnapoppe1844 They were made in Geelong Australia and had the 358ci engine naturally aspirated. You learn something new everyday hey mate?
That’s a awesome setup surprised he doesn’t have duals on awesome video gotta love Old Iron
I too, am surprised that he’s not running duals. The biggest reason I’d want them is that they give a better ride in the field. The extra width smooths the field out that much more.
it would look ace with duals on too
That's cool to see 40+ year old equipment still going. We had a white cab 1066 and 400 cyclo, WAY back in the day.
Very cool. I am on a mission to find some nice white cab 66 series to feature.
my uncle had that planter it was pretty neat at the time
Gorgeous💙👍
My father had a 1566 open station and a 1586 back in the day. Miss those machines. Cut my teeth on them.
Que chulada de tractor y su equipamiento terrenos muy planos y con esa maquinaria se avanza mucho desde Saltillo Coahuila Francisco Javier Davila
What a jewel!
How do farmers keep these classic machines in such incredible condition?!
They enjoy running them and maintain them on a daily basis.
A great tractor and a cool planter👍
Thank you for watching.
It’s fun that people still can justify working this older equipment
The way patents on repairs have been headed, you just about can’t afford not to.
You can add GPS to one of these and maintain it way cheaper than new stuff
Nice equipment!
This was a tractor and planter I wanted to feature for a long time. Thank you for watching.
Very nice video from the beginning to the end . Love hearing that 6 cly . Nice International 1566 and corn planter.
Thank you for watching.
This video was so nice, I had to watch it twice! :vD I like my Farmall H & two row McD 221 planter, but I'd be in hog heaven with that setup. Wow! Many thanks for another great (true) RED video. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thank you for watching. A McCormick Deering planter would be neat to see.
@@bigtractorpower I'm not sure if I will be putting any corn in this year. It's getting to be kind of late in the season. Maybe next year. If it's something you would like to record for your archives, let me know. You may have to stop out to film or send one of your remote units as I'm the only one doing the work & nobody here knows how to operate my camera or smarty phone.
The best channel on youtube! Greetings from Poland 🙂
Thank you for watching. It is very cool to have a viewer in Poland.
I have always wondered how they folded and unfolded. Thank you for documenting that! I run a 1200PT 16/31, but still have a 6 row 800 for spot replant. You are right, absolutely a dream to change seed from corn to soybeans!
Imagine investing money in a new tractor and half century later, with proper care and service, it still works and gets the job done. I am 100% certain that today you simply can not buy any tractor that will be able to work for 50 years, no mather how much care and service you invest in it. Nobody produces machines like that anymore.
Nice clean and well maintained looking unit. I noticed that there aren't any starter/fertilizer tanks mounted on the tractor or planter. Is this an organic farm? Just curious.
Outstanding
Thank you for watching. The STX500 is a cool Steiger.
@@bigtractorpower I got one better hopefully your in my area sometime next spring I have a 1468
To bad you couldn't make the video 15:66 long. 😉🤣 Love seeing the old red iron working yet. 👍keep up the good work!
😁. 15:00 was as close as I could get. This was a cool classic to get to feature.
Hard to beat the old cyclos... If anybody is looking to do some no-till with a cyclo I have designed a bolt-on kit to put pnuematic down pressure on them. You can see a couple videos of it on my channel. What a great video... I had never seen a 16 row in action before.
Yeaaaa babyyyy
👍👍
Better put some duels on it. Great tractor. Needs duels for planting. John T.
what a minted old nash, still putting in the hours
Hey bigtractorpower. Why are the wheels inclined inwards? Great video as always.
That helps the tractor turn on a smaller radius than if they were straight up .
@@noelmartyn9034 would the inside of the tyres not wear an awful lot quicker than the outside?
I ll also comment that I never saw that type folding setup before now.
Cool planter, even running at 8mp/h,
The 2 big boxes were for seed, so the smaller row boxes were for fertilizer.?
The smaller boxes carry insecticide. This was the old way of applying it now the insecticide is on the seed in the boxes are no longer necessary.
I know this video is old but nevertheless, what a cool outfit and beautifully kept. I never seen a 16 row cyclo before. Really cool how you captured him unfolding it.
This is a good friend of mine. He has a nice Red Power farm. You can see this same 1566 plowing just last week in this video czcams.com/video/XKFDGahhnO8/video.html
@@bigtractorpower awesome….thanks!
I wonder how many hoppers were dumped in transport on those old planters?
All my neighbors used old red's when I was younger they all been retired now dairy farm's 😔
Is it me or was that cab fairly quiet for being a 66 series?
Crazy fold is right!
😁👍👍
They also built a front fold model on a friesen bar. The 950 (next series newer) was available in a 24 row and a 12/23 as well.
Yes. I hope to film a 950 and 955 24 row come day. In the video I mention this was the largest CIH planter in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
You are correct Jason! Deere was the only "factory" 24 row available at that time. Kinze may have had one then too.
✌️✌️✌️✌️
12 forward gears if you’re considering the TA as another gear range. Otherwise it was 6 forward 2 reverse plus TA
Hello
I chisel plowed with a 1566 back in the day
Very cool.
Those tractors and planters were tanks.
😁👍💪
I was raised on a red Farm
👍👍
42 gallon fuel capacity? Guessing you'd need to keep a fuel truck close by. My 1086 holds over twice that amount (85 gallons).
Known as the black stripe around where i lived.
👍👍
Good day sir! Love your videos! I am a huge fan! I just started re-collecting the ertl replica tractors. Is it ok if I was to use some of the audio from your videos of tractors running. I am gonna start a channel reviewing these replicas and I was hoping to have some good audio of them working and your videos are the best! I will credit you of course on my videos. Have a good day!
Where's the duals? Big moose like that needs duals
I think the black strip was only in 1976, my Hydro 100 was a black strip.
Yes the black stripes began delivery in October 1975 and continued until September 1976. The 86 series launched on 9/11/76.
You KNOW that sonofagun didnt have seed firmers.
I hate to be that guy but I’m gonna be is there a reason there isn’t duals put on there beautiful setup though
It would look better with duals
If those planters were right they was love to plant corn with and spot on but man if there ware wrong it was a headache

Good ol black stripe...... Put a lot of hours on one. Ours was turned to about 200 hp. Ran it that way for years with no problems. I paid 26,000 for a new 986 in 1980. That is the biggest cyclo planter I have ever seen.
John Deere lover must had disliked this video
Of course even you know John Deere is superior! What kinda planter do you plant with?
We have John Deere planters because that's all my boss knows. But as of Deere being superior, no. Now I will say this, the John Deere 8400 and 8410 where the best row crop tractors Deere ever built.
