Field Work with an International 1206

[@Flight1530]

This is the first time I watched your channel. Over the old farm iron channels, you now have a new sub. Keep up the great videos coming.

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!

You got some good looking dirt up there

[@tyfrank3427]

It's a heavy grey wooded clay soil. It grows good but is harder to work. The soil varies considerably within a few miles here.

My favorite tractor . 1206 with white flat tops ,prettiest tractor ever made . Great video Ty .👍

[@tyfrank3427]

I think that was nice to paint the flat top fenders white on a Farmall 1206. The wheatland fenders were red on the International 1206s, though

[@thetractorguyoldtractor3524]

that is a beautiful tractor , your 1206... rather sought after by collectors and old tractor enthusiasts ! We have 1 size smaller at the farm , an 806 , wheatland , standard , from the last production year ( trying yo recall if that was 1966 or 67 ? ). Good motors in them for certain !. thanks for sharing Ty !!

[@tyfrank3427]

We also have an 806 wheatland and three 706 wheatlands. They are all good tractors. Thanks for watching!

That would be a dream of mine to get to disk with a 1206. I always loved disking with our Farmall M . Great Job keep up the good work.

[@tyfrank3427]

Thanks so much! I like the 1206. It's a great tractor.

i remeber when they came out farmer down the road had one hooked to abig fox forage havester it was amazing at that time

[@tyfrank3427]

They were the real deal at the time for sure. And a great tractor, too/

I was envious of our neighbors with high clearance colter chisels. We never did own one though

[@tyfrank3427]

I've never seen a colter chisel here. I guess you can go deeper with them and the manufacturers expect that as they expect 10-13 hp per shank. We pull regular chisels successfully with half that much power.

[@JeffMilitello]

Pretty country up there. The old 1206 sounds strong. Looks to be original. Nice looking and sounding tractor. I think the best-looking tractor ever made. Very highly sought after. Do you do a lot of fall tillage?

[@tyfrank3427]

We like to do our heavy tillage in the fall. Since we have clay soil, we try to loosen the dirt up good so the snow melt can moisten the ground.

[@donvoll2580]

G day Ty Boy it look like a bit of a load on it, Ths

[@tyfrank3427]

It actually handles it well. I could have went a gear faster but I would rather not work the tractor too hard.

[@smallbore7025]

How many hp does that tractor have?.

[@tyfrank3427]

112 at the PTO

[@rodneybalog4605]

Would that be a ford disc or painted that colour?

[@tyfrank3427]

It's a Ford disc
