We still farm with a pair of 806s in the stable as out big horses. They ain’t fancy, but they’re paid for and they still earn their keep. Notilled winter wheat behind soybeans with the one last night. Tough old tractors. I can think of 6 of them off the top of my head that still earn their keep this day within a mile of our farm.
Pure proft. That machinery has been paid for many decades ago except for normal maintenance wear & tear like tires. Enjoyed this presentation on a Friday morning. Best wishes to my friend BTP🚜🇺🇸👍
It is not all about power but what is being pulled and for what. I want to hear more from the farmers and their unique approaches to the ever-changing landscape. They are innovators. Shout out from Southern Illinois Blackland Country.
In the early 70's I drove a silage truck alongside a harvester such as this one for two seasons, dawn to after dark, 7 days a week for two and a half months. The company had two harvesters and a fleet of gas burning, big box dump trucks. Hot, sticky work but fun times...
I was at the dealership when these were presented. The dealer was small but they were able to get one inside. 300 farmers showed up for the presentation. The radio station was there, all you can eat buffet. It was a gas narrow front end. They took orders for 40 plus that day. Good times.
We got one of these a couple months before I went in the service in 1965 got to haul a wagon load of Eared corn from the neighbors about five miles to our place to grind for cafe fed, boy that was something then days the only thing new I ever seen or driven at the time.
Nice equipment again. Those Farmalls have somehow agressive/mean look because that grille styling and small wheels in high sitting front end, but don't understand me wrong, i love the look of those tractors 😎 Here is also lots of wagons (up to 3-axle) made from old trucks at use in Finland.
I'm meeting a guy tomorrow morning to buy an 806 and I cant sleep. I'm like a kid on Christmas eve. I'm so damn excited. been looking for one with a nice cab and fairly low hours for a while now. Cab's and everything else rust to heck here in upstate NY. Luckily the previous owners all kept the paint touched up a little to keep this one from getting rusty
I worked for a guy that did custom hay cutting and his main tractor was a IH. Farmal 706 it did all the cutting and bailing and a leeland to do the racking .teddering and very little bailing
Dad traded a wore out 560 for low hour 806 in 1970. What a tremendous stepup!
The 806 really made a mark for IH. It was the 4 million IH built.

Hey look no GPS. Old timey farming. Love it

Thank you for filming an 806! I grew up on one!

Great history. The 806 was a big tractor in 1965. Thank you for your service.
I know of at least three Farmall 806s still hard at work in my area. These tractors were built to stand the test of time.
yessss
Back when there was no "gps" and no super combines/ choppers. love the 806
Nice to see the old equipment 🚜in action thank you sir 👍🤝🤝🤠
TAKE THAT, MILLENIALS .....

As always an excellent video there’s nothing like seeing a classic tractor and homemade trailers just love that stuff
A classic 👍
Nice to see some smaller farm operations from time to time. Silage looks a little dry. Guess that’s why they have a hose stretched over there.
Awesome running machines they stand the test of time😀
My kind of farming ,money in pocket
Belo trator top
Ah the old narrow bonnet Farmalls, nothing like it 👍👍👍👍👍
I LIKE THE HISTORY OF THESE TRACTORS
NEAT!
You and Mike Less covering the same territory lol. I thought I had seen this somewhere already 😂
Yea, haven't we seen this one before, ... from BTP....?
@@rightsideofthegrass8114 yes BTP covered the Sperry-NH harvester in detail a few weeks ago on this same farm
Nice unique find, Jason!
Yeah i have the 766 but i really like the 06 or 26 type front, kinda Kenworth looking.
Can you explain to those of us who are not as versed in IH history the history of Farmall /IH and how it evolved from its earliest days?
I believe the Farmall 806 in the photograph was the four millionth IH tractor, not the four millionth farmall.
The 806 is the 4 millionth tractor built at the Farmall Works.

Wow that is exciting. The 806 is one of the all time greats. An 806 with a cab is fairly rare sighting today. Congrats.
Neat video, old school!!
Thank you for watching.
Great video but how about doing some in the UK

Did they dig the trench? Or is that just how the land is?
It’s an old rail road bed from about 100 years ago. Cut right through solid stone. It makes a good storage area.
👍😀
My uncle but a new one in 1963 (he would have been a 20 year old farmer ,) to replace his R John Deere Big purchase for him back than.
super video a have farmall 806 in game farming simulator 17 super
That is cool. I did not know FS had classics.
the 806 is my tractor that my grampas farm
👍👍
It’s good to see you don’t have to spend millions of dollars to farm.
Why not just brake feed the beef stock
Talk about low-tech farming, these men are lost in the 1960's.
You do not need brand new equipment to be a farmer just smart and know how to spend money wisely.
Robert Buck There not in debt up to their necks either.Btw hi tech doesn't make your crops grow any better.
I grew up with this model of tractor. We used fertilizer and a lot fewer chemicals than they use today.
