I Bought A Tractor: 1981 International 4786 4wd

[@WelkerFarms]

Congratulations on your new tractor, that is exciting stuff, she's beautiful.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing your Big Bud after it is restored.

[@ronmeier8850]

Yeah no doubt @ Weller's as I second that w/BTP... Can't wait to see that finished Big Bud!! And as well as that IH truck, looking awesome!! Take care too both of my favorite KZbinrs Ron

[@MrGerritStok]

Isn:t it ironic to call it "ÿour new tractor" :) That 4786 was the biggest international the time i was in agriculture in the late 70-s. Our biggest was the 1246, 125 hp, which was a realy big thing in that time in this area. (Netherlands) Most seen was the 846 with 80 hp and the 624, 60 hp. The smaller one"s 423, 40 hp you still see on diary farms. Perhaps that was a strong serie.

[@broersfarms9448]

You should restore his 4786

[@duncanwatson7297]

Beswick Farms Ltd bought me a 4786 at the end of production and a Co-op 808 deep tiller. It was 59 feet and I added 1 more shank on each end for 61 of 14 inch sweeps so I could till 60 feet per pass before GPS. I built a rear hitch on it that I used to pull a large NH3 tank in fall with 4 inch beavertails. I used that same hitch to pull a 67 foot Herman harrow when I prepped seedbed in spring with the 14 inch sweeps. Yes I was proud of my ability to fine tune guage wheels and machine leveling to prep a firm moist seedbed with a deep tiller. I left the harrows wider than the tiller so it would give full coverage when cornering. I rubbed a few fence posts with end of harrow. The tractor was putting out more than 350 and handled this outfit easily where the foothills of the Canadian Rockies meet the Milk River ridge a couple of miles north of Montana. I am not saying that you would want to load yours like that but I put 2900 hours on with no repairs. I did put rubber blocks on the stops for the rolling drawer and kept my radiator clean and serviced it on a tight schedule. Have a 4366 and 4586 now. A 4786 would be welcome. Congratulations on yours.

[@jrewing5886]

I personally wanted to congratulate you on your purchase of a really big beautiful tractor. Old school and just a joy to watch, both you and your new tractor tearing up some fields. Following ones passion is not easy. What, with all the distractions life throws at us, it's any wonder we can get past first base. Your passion is appreciated by all of us who love and watch your videos. I know I appreciate them and your amazing voice. The world is a better place with people like you in it. JR🚜

I'm happy for you. You can hear in your voice and see in your face your happiness. You can't remember my comments our where I'm from but you might have noted I'm partial to IHC and Gleaner combines. You don't have to be a farmer to have the passion. The non farmers often show 10 times more heart in farm equipment. In closing you made an excellent choice , I know your tractor well. It was famous in her day and still a strong machine today.

[@kyleturnbow3373]

My 3 year old boy is obsessed with farm and construction equipment. We usually watch your channel a couple times a week. He loves seeing the tractors and equipment in action and enjoy the commentary on the history and specifications of the machines. Keep up the good work. On a side note, I can only imagine the conversation with that farmer: "So you have a tractor and no land to use it on? You want to disc up my field, using your tractor at no cost to me? Well, I'm sure we can work something out..." Lol

[@mikeenglund4595]

Congratulations ! I know how it is like to chase your dreams ! I have always wanted a peterbilt 379 ! And finally got one about 3yrs ago. I'm broke down now but I'm NOT giving up !! Seeing your dream come true definitely lifted my spirits ! Very happy for you !!

[@rexjohnson5109]

I was working for a neighbor in the 70’ s and in 1979 my boss had two 4568’s that he traded for a new 4786 that was the most powerful tractor I had ever driven and it became my favorite ever He also bought a 800 series IH 10 bottom 18” plow We plowed 12” s deep at 5 1/2”-6 mph and we could plow six acres per hour whether we were in a 30 acre field or a 160 acre field that was always amazing to me Your tractor looks like a great purchase and I hope you enjoy driving it as much as I did back in 1979 congratulations

I really liked hearing your passion for this type of tractor and the history behind it. I grew up on a farm with a IH 2+2 and a JD 8440. Those two will always have a special place in my heart. Watching your video made me think of that. Thank you for this video.

Nice tractor! Tractors of that era were just plain and simple. Don’t get me wrong the tractors of today are great to drive but I too grew up in the 70s and 80s and I still love them older tractors!

I agree. I like filming the big modern machines but finding a nice classic is always an awesome opportunity.

This is awesome. I'm itching to get back into the field so this was a good fix. It's amazing to see how much shatter loss/what got pushed through the combine via the volunteer corn. We don't get to see our volunteer corn growing in the fall in Iowa. Makes me think a little more. Congratulations on the big boy purchase.

[@bigtractorpower]

Corn is harvested here in August so volunteer corn is in every field no matter the brand. In a warm fall some of the volunteer corn will get all the way to the tassel stage before a frost.

[@ianbond3982]

As an ex ag contractor, I'd like to give you a tip or 3. First up, when you start the engine, give it a minute at idle to get oil pressure up & oil circulating, before you rev it up, longer time in cold conditions, got to remember hydraulic pumps are running as soon as you start. Second, gear up-revs down, make the engine work in its high torque range, not revving the 'tits' off of it, it'll thank you for it, by longer eng life, less fuel used, etc. Third, start the tractor rolling, clutch all the way up, before you engage your implement with the ground. The clutch will live a lot longer. Pull/raise the implement out of the ground before you stop. I tell you these things so you don't reduce it's life, operating errors eventually cost money. You got a good buy there, a classic, keep it nice, regular maintenance, fix issues while they are small issues, before they become big major ones, you'll save a lot of coin that way. I congratulate you on your purchase & I hope it serves you well & I'm sure you are going to enjoy every moment with it. I actually have an old IH 412B elevating scraper that I'm 'doing up', so Yeh, I like the old inter's as well.

Hi Jason, it is such a pleasure to now have a face to the voice. What's more, to see you driving your very own TRACTOR. You have brought so much joy through all your Tractor / Farming videos. I have learned so much from them, through you and the information you always share. We were farmers back in the 70's and 80's but alas no more. I love hearing the sounds ans specifically the sound of your 4786 under load. Brings back so many memories. I truly appreciate your love of Tractors and Farming. Well done, you are living your dream.

[@roygunter3244]

I grew up on a farm in the 50s and we left in 1964. I remember the time when all the different farm tractors were the order of the day. I always thought the Olivers with their hood sides were the coolest looking and liked the Farmall 400 and 450s but I grew up on WD45 and D17 gas tractors. Haven't driven a farm tractor newer than a 1962 or so model and I am sure I would have a hard time trying to figure out how to even start a new tractor. Thanks for the videos, especially the videos of the older tractors and the specifications.

[@eraaspr1]

What a sight it is to see a happy man doing what he loves doing. I'm not a farmer either, sadly, but have farming in my blood sort of. I really love it and youtube channels like your makes my day a lot brighter. You're making an awsome work spreading these really splendid videos out on the internet for everyone to like. I used to go out on my bicycle as a teenager as soon as I noticed farmers around were out doing something and I could be standing there for hours. Eventually I was alllowed to ride along in the cab and later on that was the how I got to help out a little bit at least on a couple of local farms. Nowadays, when I'm over 50 years old I'm still that boy that just loves it, love learning how to farm and gets excited over stuff that the friends I had in school that grew up on farms, never really could understand. I know my grandparents had a small farm and maybe that's why I love all of it. Keep doing what your're doing because you do make a whole lot of difference for people like me. My best wishes for you and that lovely tractor.

[@bigtractorpower]

I used to ride my bike to check out farming and then when I could drive I would scout out the area farms home bases to see what they were working on or what new iron might be at the farm. I have hundreds of pics from the 80’s and 90’s. I wish I could have had video from that time. Thank you for watching and sharing.

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

My neighbor growing up in the 80 was a big crop farmer and had a large dairy herd too and they were die hard IH people. They had one like that, not sure but I think it was a 4586. I remember they had a big ass V-plow for it and used to hire out to the township after the really big snows. It was exciting to see in action busting thru the big drifts. They had a big wing disk and a moldboard plow also , forget how many bottoms. Also had a 5488,5088, two 1586's,1486, and a fleet of 66 and older series tractors. They were big time at least for around here in the East. Congratulations on your tractor! Brought back good memories for me.

[@adendennis123]

The 45 and 4786 with IH V800 engines were great tractors. We had multiple units when I was a boy matter of fact it is what I learned on. I used to plow many acres as a boy. The V800 was actually a truck motor and got a bad rep of failure which was due to too high rpm. Later they were governed down which took care of problem. Actually we ran them at 2200 rpm and never had a failure. But an awesome tractor!

[@jamesbarbour8400]

An unfortunate and inherent characteristic of V8 engines, regardless of Brand name, is they have very little in the way of torque back up and the only way to get any kind of decent performance out of them, is to rev them in the higher speed range. Two more cylinders than a straight six and higher rpms equals more fuel useage per hour. This coupled with the low torque is what led most manufacturers to install straight sixes over V8s. From a purely aesthetic and sound point of view however, a V8 engined tractor is hard to beat. Glad to hear that your tractor hasn't had any engine issues - they're a great looking machine with the V8 fitted. Also great that people like yourself have the foresight to keep these legends in running order and not simply scrap them. While todays artics may be way more powerful and sophisticated, these old school machines have much more character than the new ones will ever have. They just do what it says on the tin ! 👍

Hi. That is a nice line up. I made a video on the 1010 last year. The biggest farm in my home town has a 2240. When they bought it new it was the rock picking tractor along side a new 8640 on tillage, an 8630 on tillage and a new 4440 on a 12 row corn planter. Today the 2240 is on auger fury keeping up with an S680 and 9660STS combine.

Growing up my dad always rented a FWD from the local IH dealership because in the 80’s the fall of the year were quite wet here in NE Wisconsin, our IH 1486 2WD was just did not get it done. One year we had rented an IH 4386, it was a beast, when I think of those years and big power IH tractors I think of Plowing! It would be nice to see your tractor IH4786 coupled to a 10 bottom IH810 Plow. That would be something to see at Plow Days, Red Power and any other farm show. I have enjoyed your videos, thank you

[@robbybachmann332]

BTP, what a wonderful story. I could see you making some sort deal with a older or retiring farmer trading some tractor hours or help for rent of some ground maybe use of a disk and seeder. Just start with a small amount of land so any mistakes don’t cost to much and try growing a crop. No feeling like it when you take off a crop you grew.

[@bigtractorpower]

That would be a great opportunity. Hopefully some day I can raise a crop on a few acres.

[@IH1256]

First of all congratulations on your tractor purchase! Growing up I too loved seeing tractors of all makes, especially IH! Really like the deep growl of those IH V800 engines. As for equipment to pull with it I would think a 32' disk, 35-40' field cultivator, 5 shank ripper or a 13-15 shank soil saver with 4" twisted shanks would be a good match. Just remember keep the oil changed, air filter cleaned and was always told to back the rpm's back a couple hundred on those motors instead of running wide open.

My father had a 1976(?) 4568 that we used to pull an IH 10-18" plow and a 32' disk on the family farm in south central Mn. That V800 had enough torque to start out in 5th gear with that 10 bottom plow in the ground!! Just kick the throttle up to 1200 rpm, ease the clutch out and when it starts to engage go full throttle to 5.5 mph. Loved the sound coming out of that 5" straight exhaust pipe.

First time I've ever seen BTP and I gotta say he looks just like I thought. Maybe younger than I imagined but I nailed his looks. Anyway, this is a great video. Those of us that grew up in the Corn Belt in the 80's got to drive a lot of the tractors he's featured and probably took it for granted. I worked for several farmers and there was a big variety of colors out there that I got to use. Thanks for sharing this cool moment, BTP

[@bigtractorpower]

I started taking pictures because I noticed in the late 80’s tractors I grew up with were being traded on new tractors like the Magnum and I wanted to remember the big iron of the 70’s. 1984-1987 wiped out several brands and it was a big reshuffle. I like being able to film this machines as I can find them now to preserve that time period. I get that allot. People think I am much older listening to the videos.

Great to see you saved a IH V8 tractor as they are growing more rare to see since most have tossed the V8 for a inline repower from what guys tell me the V8 IH engine is worth big $$$ now

[@bindertv6157]

Nicely done!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. Go IH Binders 👍👍

[@Abritinluzon]

Nice tractor you sounded as you are very happy with it like wise as I am with your very interesting videos thanks

[@charlesbryant7631]

Thank you for sharing such well-made, informative, and entertaining videos, Jason. My two-year-old son and I enjoy watching them very much, and I appreciate the insight offered by the farmers and operators, as well.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. I started focusing on tractors at two and never stoped. I am glad you both enjoy the videos.

[@charlesbryant7631]

@@bigtractorpower, my pleasure. I have enjoyed them all my life, as well, so my son comes by it honest 😊.

[@geemike7864]

In 1979 if you buy a in 4786 you got half off a scout2 which we bought.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I have the IH advertisement that shows the 4786 and the Scout sales deal. If you bought a 1586 during that same time you got a free Cub Cadet.

[@ShainAndrews]

@@bigtractorpower I don't remember which machine we purchased but we somehow got an electric Cub Cadet 95 with one of them. That was an interesting mower for '75.

[@4literfandaniel373]

Cool video! I don’t work around farming anymore but my love of tractors never went away. My dad worked for a new holland dealership when I was little, all the way up through high school and I’ve been hooked ever since. Love the old v8. Great looking machine.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching and sharing. One of my favorite places to visit growing up was our blue dealer Tri-County Ford in Batavia, NY.

[@farmhandmike]

Cool Video and Tractor.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you @realmikeless 😁 I can’t wait to see you run your Hesston stacker.

[@chuckwilliams8015]

Thanks Jason and all the farmers great videos! Thanks .

[@Jim0i0]

Congratulations! Best episode ever.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you Doug.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Love it! Congratulations. I loved hearing the story of your childhood love of the 4786, and how that has translated to this purchase. It looks like it is running perfectly. Thanks for the video.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you. It was good to meet you at the NFMS show. I enjoy your channel. I purchased this 4786 for a little less than a new 1025R. The 1025R is much more handy and nimble than this red giant but it will be fun to run in the field a few times a year. I hope to own a utility tractor like a 1025R some day.

[@silvershark2843]

Really nice tractor and vid! Thanks for sharing with us. 👍 👍

[@jimmielittle877]

Wow with 350 horsepower your Big Tractor can run and compete right with the new Big Tractors, enjoy and be safe 🌻

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s a fun tractor to take to the field.

[@roynelson7613]

Big awesome score brother that's awesome man you deserve more than a hundred thousand subscribers you will be more than double that pretty soon and you deserve every bit of it buddy we sure do appreciate all the love and support you put into your videos always a big thumbs up them sure are some low hours that's like a brand new tractor it's amazing man I know some people like the old vintage look but that would clean up nice have a good one buddy👍👊👊👍👍👍👍😊😊

[@steveowen161]

He had a grin from ear to ear and I can't blame him. What a wonderful score with only those sorts of hours on it and such good condition. Congratulations mate, I hope she supplies you with many many hours more fun. I would love to own such a rare model, love the sound of the IH V8 ever since the 1566 was made. All Iv got to work with is a 2290 case that's cost me nearly the cost of a new tractor to keep her going. Weak ass ends on them and poor powershifts. One thing will shit itself then that causes a chain reaction of disaster. Love all ya vids mate, the best by far on KZbin. Again congratulations.

[@kevingibb5316]

Congratulations - nice to see a dream come true

[@henningsrensen2421]

looks good,and sound like a real tractor!

[@MatthewHoag77]

Congratulations, Jason, on reaching as many subscribers as you have. It's nice to *finally* see you on your own videos. (I remember you from the How Farms Work Farm Day last year, and I share your penchant for staying out of the camera lens as much as possible.) It's been quite the ambitious effort you've put forward to get to where you are, and since you've been working on it as long as you have, it's necessarily a labor of love. I'm very close to you in age, circumstance, and interest, even if we're separated by a lot of geography. What you do in these videos helps to satisfy the vicarious farmer in a lot of us who would otherwise have no exposure to these machines or processes. The tractor you bought will certainly make you happy. Thanks for the effort throughout the years to show your perspective to so many of us.

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

PROUD OF YOU, I LIVED FARMING AS A CHILD. I GREW UP IN EASTERN WASHINGTON STATE, WHITMAN COUNTY (palouse hills). STILL HAVE APPRECIATION FOR THE LAND; MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE DEEP ROOTS

[@anthonysmith4222]

John Doe WHY ARE YOU YELLING?!

[@mikespeer9538]

Good choice Jason, that series was good looking tractors. I like you have the same story, but looking across from our farmhouse I watched a JD 5020 and love the sound that it made. And watching it work .At the age of 12, (1968) I work for a farmer that had a 4020 I thought I was on top of the world was hooked on tractors And farming for the rest of my life. My cousin had a farm and I worked for him, he had 806 and 856 and a 2+2 the 806 diesel was my tractor, Pulled a 12 foot disc , spent many hours on that tractor. Might take the boy off the farm but you will never take the farm out of the boy..!

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool history. The 5020 is a cool tractor. A farm near me in NY that also ran Steigers two ST-325s and. Ford FW60 and FW30 planted peas and wheat with a row crop 5020 paired with two JD 8300 grain drills. Today they run Quadtracs and a JD 4555 on drilling.

[@RB-gk1fi]

The best implement in my opinon would be an big ih plow. I allways liked the ih brouchures showing the big ih 4wds with this hughe plows🖒

[@bigtractorpower]

A 10 bottom IH 800 plow would be a nice match.

[@LeFloop]

@@bigtractorpower something you could also consider is asking some of the farms you work with for filming if they'd like your help with some work in the spring. That 4786 is plenty big enough to pull a lot of tillage implements and I imagine some of them would be more than happy to have another tractor on the go on their farm, even if only for a few days, when they're really in the thick of planting season

[@ih1206]

The smile on your face is priceless, like a kid in a candy store running that old girl. That’s a lot of tractor and very cool to see that it hasn’t been repowered. There was one on my local Craigslist for a while with an 855 Cummins in it. I’m looking forward to seeing more videos in the future.

[@matth3w249]

Beautiful purchase BTP!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you. I am looking forward to hopefully getting it out in the field this spring.

[@matth3w249]

Can’t wait!

[@augustreil]

You look proud up in that seat and as well you should ! Congrats BTP, You deserve it !

[@adendennis123]

Look for an ih 800 9-12bottom plow, model14 v-ripper on a 6500cart, 6500 chisel plow or a 4500 fieldcultivator these were all era implements we used on our 68 and 86 series 4x4's

[@johnallen5996]

Very cool, love the big ole internationals. We used to farm years back and had an 826 we used for planting and cultivating.

[@willsmith9057]

Man those cheeks must have been sore the next day don't think that smile could have got any bigger

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍

[@SlipShodBob]

Do you know I don't think that smile and grin will be leaving your face for a long time. Looking good. An International had the same effect on my dad even when he was in his mid sixties, one minute he would be about to drink his coffee then you'd hear the tractor and the next thing you'd see him running outside and jumping the fence and jogging down the field admittedly it was less it being an International and more it being my granddad's whom though he enjoyed a mid morning coffee he didn't believe in coffee breaks for my dad hence the running back down to our farm when he heard him coming.

[@hturbo1007]

First of all I have to say congratulations, when you buy a tractor...you really, BUY A TRACTOR, then I can't help but notice that the field you're in has a lot of volunteer corn.

[@hturbo1007]

By the way, I'm not a farmer either but I own three tractors ,a plow, McCormick wagon, four row cultivar and a loader. Welcome to the classic tractor club!

[@10WA]

My favorites are the 1976 1086, 1586, and 4586. I spent thousands of hours riding in these tractors as a kid all day. If I had the space I'd restore a 4586. The V8 in our 4586 was overhauled and cranked up to the max somewhere around 375-400hp so we could pull a 7 bottom DMI chisel.
