The "Golden Age"....brings a tear to my eye of bygone days.....😢

Nobody in Illinois is having more fun than that guy right now!

[@dalemyers3945]

Just a testament to how well tractors were built in this era, the 1206 is still working.

[@kygreenskeeper8326]

What a set up Jason.... One of my favorite old power houses

[@bigtractorpower]

Definitely one of the all-time greats.

[@markreetz1001]

Great tractor. The drill set up is top notch. That was great too. Thanks Jason!

[@interman7715]

I remember these narrow bonnet Farmalls well some of the best tractors ever made ,reliable and TOUGH and powerful, I drove an 856 and 706 .

[@Mad_Farmer912]

Thats one hell of a trip watching those wheels turn. Between the different tread and the camera speed its one crazy illusion watching the inner tires going forward and the duals appearing to go backwards.😁

[@elephantcompany6061]

It's all I could focus on....what a maddening thing to watch.

[@switzerblitzer2701]

@@elephantcompany6061 He's driving so fast that the drill bounces out of the ground. Good way to wreck your machinery.

[@elephantcompany6061]

​@@switzerblitzer2701I suspect the video speed has been adjusted...but yet it sounds unaltered so...idk Defenately seams unrealistic to seed so fast. If not, like you say smashy smashy on the rocks. And at a certain speed the extra fuel burn to go fast becomes more expensive than the extra time. Reminds me when my neighbor runs the swather in high gear, making piles all over just to plug up the combine over and over.

[@elephantcompany6061]

If I concentrate hard enough, I can make my eyes see the tires go forward. It's like those 3D images people stare at

[@gashy1000]

@@switzerblitzer2701 I was going to say the same, certainly not mucking around and yes what ever implement you're using, if it's bouncing to much speed, come back a gear or 2 and let the machine do it's work. Ahh yes, another armchair comment but my observation. Plenty of similar sized Inter's around the bigger cropping regions of Victoria, Wimmera especially. 766, 866 very popular. Andy from Adelaide. cheers

[@user-pd7qe8he5g]

As a Deere guy the 1206 is one I would love to own. True muscle tractor from IH. Great vid! 0:06

[@bigtractorpower]

This is definitely one of those tractors that catches fans of different brands attention. I think the JD 4020, IH 1206, AC D21, FORD 8000, MF 1150, MM G-1000 Vista and Oliver 2150 are all tractors that just make people say that’s a cool tractor.

[@OmahaWayne]

Sure did enjoy that sir !!! I was born and raised on a northern Il farm and spent literally 1000's of hours in the seat of a 1206 as a kid while dad drove a yellow 4156. Thank you sir for bringing back the memories.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

112 hp was a hoss back in the 60s, not to mention thats one good looking tractor.

[@IG10705]

112 was at the pto. 95 at the drawbar. If only people realized that.

[@jsd795]

​@@IG10705uh that's how they were all rated and everyone knows that. It's still a more honest rating than modern versions which are rated at the flywheel.

[@IG10705]

@jsd795 Yet you don't understand what I'm saying. Let me spell it out for you. Everyone goes by the pto and they forget the drawbar HP all of the time. Smh

[@jsd795]

@@IG10705 I do understand what you are saying and so does everyone else. It's just irrelevant.

[@brianzybura8633]

I use to have an International Super A and a Super C. I used both tractors for cultivating and hauling tobacco near the community of Mount Brydges Ontario. In the States one may not know it but tobacco IS actually grown in Canada near the communities of Delhi, Brantford, and Mount Brydges. Not as much tobacco is grown in these areas nowadays like back in the Sixties Seventies and Eighties. I'd imagine that you may not be enthused by such small tractors as your videos specialize mostly on large ones. It sure looks like central Illinois has been very blessed with really good weather seeing a farmer sowing oats already. I just love it when the 1206 blasts out beautiful petroleum diesel smoke. P.S.---Delhi, Brantford, Mount Brydges Ontario.

[@rupps_timber]

Great looking and sounding tractor. I cut my teeth on a 1206 and my dad still has it. I would love to restore it to this quality.

Neighbor growing up had that drill set up behind a Ford TW-20. I have an IH 1086 that pulls a fertilizer spreader, 6rn Deere 7000, 11 knife 1000 gallon sidedress bar, 15ft Marliss drill. 1456 pulls bushhog, MacDon mower, 20ft Kewanee disk when needed and 5 bottom plow.

[@2020Tundra]

My dad had a 806 that he bought new in 1966 and he used it for many years. I wish we still had it…

The 806 is a gray tractor and it’s one that I really would like to find to film for a full 10 minute feature

Beautiful tractor and from the best of times

[@truthandfreedom885]

I was more than a little surprised to hear that the narrow front 1206 cost $1,200 more than the wide front. We were mostly John Deere but had an 806 in the sixties and added a 1066 hydro in the early 70's

[@johnthompson4162]

Alot of time on the 806, driven a 1206 a few times, great tractor.

[@RichardWright4707]

Brilliant video sir such a joy to see a tractor from the sixties still working and working well and what a sound track there has always been a special sound of a six pot IH engine for me the best was the 956 + the 1056 if you get chance have a look on you tube at UK and European IH tractors at work

[@markkeister6057]

Great video. Gotta love old school

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1206 is the definition of old school cool.

[@MrDumbfarmer]

We had a 1206 spent many hours pulling a 6 bottom 700 plow

[@kennethcarlton2860]

We used to pull 2 - 15 foot drills with a 1456 and we converted the hitch of a 2 - 6 row painters so we could use just the same hitch for both and we converted by switching the braces for the straight ones for the planter . The one planter or drill was pulled backwards when moving . That was before they had augers to fill the drills .

[@404nitro]

Man, the 1206 is the epitome of what a classic tractor should look like IMO. Awesome. BTP- I noticed the tractor on the toy has the metal 1206 plate rather than the white decal of this one. Know the story on that? Was that just a minor change to accommodate the majority of the 1206 tractors?

112 hp so they said .they left the assemble line at 160

[@mrih1586]

And you know this how? 125 would not surprise me though.

[@IG10705]

They were tested at 95 at the draw bar and 112 at the pto. I call total BS on your comment.

[@elephantcompany6061]

With the turbocharged 806 engine, the 1206 could do near 120/125 if tuned up Some 1206 had the 407 cubic inch. Later to become the 1256 It wouldn't surprise me if it were closer to 130/135 hp But 160 seams a bit much. I don't think the rear end would last long and doubt anything with either engine would reach 160 from factory. The displacement simply does not support the possibility. I'm talking pto power. Not draw bar.

[@james1802]

The range transmission & rear end will hold 1,500hp & the pto clutches will hold 310hp

[@brokedickfarms7432]

That drill set up should be a video on its own .
