INTERNATIONAL 1468 Tractor Plowing

[@mikei2545]

That V-8 sound on a tractor is just awesome.

[@fords4ever1960]

A V8 diesel at full song is beautiful music!!! Thank you for posting this video. We never used any V8 diesel's, but did use IH tractors. My granddad had a WD-9, a 600, and a 1206 that dad used. Then dad got a 1486. Later he upgraded to a CIH 9110. All good tractors.

[@jimmclean160]

It sure is good to see red tractors that are open cab in the field plowing

[@t-rex558]

Loved the 1466. Helped the neighbor back in the 70's when I was a teenager. Plowed, disced, and cultivated with it.

[@EDBZ28]

what a gorgeous tractor and awesome sound. No small price tags for early-mid 70s, and would've never guessed the V8 would've been cheaper. Never knew what the "8" stood for, now I do!

[@Corvacar]

The V8 was cheaper to buy then but, it sure isn’t cheaper by any means used now. Just attend or watch an Auction sale and You’ll see what l mean. Fergieman

[@ScottPykare]

Beautiful tractor. Pulling that plow like it isn't even there. 👍🏻🙂

[@jackchapo2011]

That is because the plough is only 6 rows. Average nowadays is 36 rows plus.

Such a gorgeous tractor

It’s nice to see that some Guys can appreciate a Tractor that isn’t Green Fergieman

I wish i could give you a thumbs up for every pass that you filmed. Love that sound

[@richmottershaw9720]

Much Respect and Support from the UK

[@daddy_saltoldchannel7672]

We had one growing up in Louisiana. We bought it used when I was about 12 years old. I finally got to start driving it when I was about 14 because the clutch was so heavy, having no hydro assist. After driving it all summer long, your left leg would be 2x the size of your right.

[@kennethstanton5407]

I didn't know they came without a hydraulically assisted clutch. Ours had the deluxe cab and torque amplifier. Jason is reporting 20.3 mph but ours would clock 30 mph. It had been "adjusted" to run a bit overspeed but it may have been something to do with tire choices as well. We ran 20.3 x 34 dualled with hub mounted 18.4 x 38s. I've seen others comment about theirs really getting up and moving on the road too. Although we ran a mixture of Case, Deere, Steiger and IH, we worked back and forth with neighbours who had exclusively IH equipment so across the two operations, I had thousands of hours in the 1468, 1456, 1466, 1486, 1066, 1086, 3588, 3788, 4166, ... plus all the IH utility tractors from 606 onward and an array of swathers, combines and other cool equipment.

[@simongilbert2704]

the v8 sounds amazing ;;

[@Blackwellll3066]

One sweet tractor for sure

[@terrellfarms1]

We had several IH S-Series spreader trucks from the 80's. Two had the 9.0 liter IH motors and the rest had DT-466 engines. The 9.0 liter engines were gutless. Would barely maintain 45 mph loaded. The 466 trucks would walk the dog loaded .

[@giorgospantelaios3928]

Thank you mr for the smiles on our faces

[@kygreenskeeper8326]

Absolutely awesome Jason

[@bigtractorpower]

I have wanted to film the 68 series for a long time and this was a great opportunity

[@miketaylor155]

The sound. Love it. I am a tractor guy. Thank you so much

[@clinkerclint]

Am I the only one that thinks the dirt in that field is the real star of the show??? I think you could run the planter right behind that plow. I've never seen anything like it... Awesome video as always BTP. Those V8 IH's are everyone's favorite! I hope you make a Big Tractor Payment from the amount of views this video will net you :)

[@lynwessel2471]

2:40 Looks like blow sand with sandy clay subsoil. That's why there's a center pivot in the background. Very poor water holding capacity. better looking in some shots (1466) and the soil near the end of the video, those had some organic matter.

[@craigsibley8161]

Yes. The tractor is most definitely the star of this video... Go International 👍👍👍

[@andhowe6093]

Beautiful tractor!

[@ileenmcminn2062]

I have run both the 1466 and 1468, I always thought the 1468 had more power. But I was in my late teens and the twin stacks sounded more powerful! We were using the 4WD frontends and would put them on and take them off for different needs. When they changed tractors we would just use the frontends we had but for some reason the 1468 didn't have the cover on the side of the transmission to hook up the 4WD shaft.

[@HamiltonFamily2023]

Run a straight piped 1468 or 1568 open station for 14-16 hours a day for a week plowing or disking then tell me how much you love that sound.

[@7071SydcHome]

What??

[@glenndickson7627]

That is when you put the protective sound ear muffs on. We ran an ALLIS CHALMERS D21 for six years if I recall correctly the turbo was effectively the muffler with a straight pipe above the hood. They were exceptionally noisy but we loved that tractor. This 1486 sounds beautiful.

[@richardnoyes5571]

Beautiful soil , nice plowing job .

[@FirstnameLastname-qe3ry]

I have been feeling down in the dumps recently, so i decided to watch this, the v8 sound just lifted the mood up, thank you sor!

I live in south eastern north carolina. I never thought that you would be in my neck of the woods

[@christinaschwartz2148]

That's a great tractor 🚜

[@clintonstubbs2319]

Man I like the sound of that v-8 IH diesel! Too bad there aren’t any V-8 diesel tractors on the market now. Massey Ferguson had a lot of those Perkins V-8 diesel engines in the 1970s and 1980s.

[@404nitro]

I prefer the 1466 personally, but this was really great to watch.

[@Brightleaf_Auto]

Glad to see some NC iron featured!

[@noehueber6602]

Hello everyone great vidéo I love this tractor a farmer friend of my boss and mee have 2 international 1468 this is a great sound from v8

[@samdurbin6566]

I did a lot of field work with our 1468 , we put 4 wheel drive on it cause of our hills here in Pa we also had a 1466 2 wheel drive . . . Lot of stories i could tell you about those tractors

[@woodwelder]

That is a clean running machine!! A sweet heart of a tractor. Mind you what great country ..! Almost an instant seed bed …!

[@saxman1969]

We had an F20, W9, a TD9, case, JD poppers. We repowered the TD9 with a Ford 390 V8 if that counts. I remember the V8 Internationals when I was in HS. Nice video! Already subscribed 😁

[@cavemanboogie7979]

I drove one for a summer down near Fort Scott Kansas 1468 V8 straight pipes dual Tire in evening you could hear me plowing for three counties around😂😂

[@craigsibley8161]

Excellent video once again big T 👍👍👍 This could be the coolest International tractor for me on this channel... Go International V8 ...

[@bigtractorpower]

I agree. It’s a very cool one. I have always wanted to feature the 68 series and it was great to be able to catch this one for a full video.

[@patrickkelley438]

I help make the control boxes for Valley center pivot irrigation systems. It's cool to see one in the background of a Big Tractor Power video.

[@geraldking2434]

We still use the Massey. Ferguson 1155 with a v8 to cut and bale hay.

[@Corvacar]

The 1155 is more than equal to 1468 and You’re giving it the lazy job of Haying only? Fergieman

[@KennDungate]

Nice plowing job

We had a 1468 tractor at the farm West of Le Sueur Mn ❤😊 I got to drive the tractor 2 TIMES !!! One with 5 bottom 710 plow. I think 🤔 I was 15 years old at the time 😊😊😊😊

[@mattconboy8490]

That tractor is definitely a showpiece and a hoss. The video doesn't do it justice

[@tctoytractors9325]

What do you believe is best sounding naturally aspirated V8 row crop tractor? I know theres only a few but i personally like the WHITE 2-180 most

[@Corvacar]

Massey Ferguson 2775 non Turbo or 2805 Turbo charged. 640 Cubic Inch. Fergieman

[@thevox1075]

I think they’re neat, but the engines weren’t good back then, and they still aren’t now. Was a gas engine converted to diesel and wasn’t heavy duty enough. I had a 470 Cummins in my D145 Versatile, but the Cummins 6 turbo that replaced it is MUCH BETTER. Better power, torque, fuel economy.

[@bobnistler]

NICE

[@frankscruggs4749]

[@garyjanssen5388]

Thats what i love about the old-timers, is you ask them how their tractor is going and they say, Cant hear yah.

[@lynwessel2471]

Are they growing a specialty crop (sweet potatoes?) or what was the reason for moldboard plowing that fluffy soil ?

[@savagedabs8536]

Absolute unit.

[@williamgreenway9893]

How big of a breaken plow,we pulled 6 20"plows when we was farming

[@craigatchison4042]

my uncle had one it was a beast out in the field when ya was used to runnin a 856 farmall. it would spin the duals discing when ya started pulling up a grade when it went from 4 to 8 cylinders

[@christanner3433]

The 66 series was 1972-1976 the 1468 is a 1466 with a v8 in it, & it was a year before they released it , 1973 i beleive & it didnt finish the series run, as i think it stopped in 75, so,s from my memory the 1468,s were 73,74&75, i know where 1 is, & ive been around it over 40 years now, ive ran a 1135 massey in feild next to that 1468 ih , i was around wen the 66 series were still being built

[@clinthochrein888]

Loud pipes saves lives!

[@barrybardo3249]

I'd like to see a video with explanation on these I see with the twin turbos set up. I think there were m and w setups.

[@johnspenn2172]

We used to have one. Lots of toque as I recall!

[@generationll]

have you come across a Massey Ferguson 1155 in your travels?Both the 1466/1468 were later up to 145 PTO hp.If it was nt for a MF 1150 there might not have been a red 1468.

[@bigtractorpower]

I have filmed one 1155 on one Pass plowing I have about two minutes of footage of it. I really want to film an 1150, 1155, 2775 and a 2805 very badly.

[@daveborchers5649]

Had a neighbor with a 1468 with twin turbos. Dynoed at 250 horse power. Would really chop a lot of corn silage in short order.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool tractor to chop with.

[@melvinyosten3776]

Have a 1066. Had a 1086 also but one had to go. Kept the 66 because dad bought it.

Very nice. The 856 is a cool IH. One of my favorite IH tractors.

[@zackmax7184]

We Never had a Big International Tractor just a small Farm it Some.

[@stevehaller6332]

The man driving the tractor better have ear plugs in because straight pipes on a natural aspirated engine are very loud. The tractor would run better with mufflers to get the proper back pressure so the engine could run more efficiently

[@bigredfarmer]

We are morbord plowing the the 150 case ih maxxum with the plow 720 4 bottom with 18 inch bottoms. And we plow 8 to 10 inches deep.

[@russvoight1167]

Hope that DV-550 worked out better in tractors than it did for IH trucks

[@delmarbish3926]

Grew up on a M Farmall still use it and have a 986 ,1206 , 806 .

[@williamgreenway9893]

Why did I/H quit making them?

[@MatthewWilliams-b1m]

They all failed low hours and John Deere power shifts left international in the dust. Scrapers got most of them.

[@ToddDeetz]

I guess if you've got enough tractor to pull 6 bottoms @ 6mph you don't need a disc.

[@perrywollam8981]

Thought they were really cool when they first came out. Bought 2 1486 in 1979. Even now still think would have been better to get 2 1570 case instead. Less $ and longer service

[@Ashcrash82]

I'm a huge fan of the IH tractors from this era, and the V8 is a dream tractor for me. That said, I am friends with a farmer from my younger days that ran a Case 1570 at something like ~225 hp for his biggest farm tractor my entire childhood.

[@nytechteacher7432]

Looks like there is a bit of wheel slip. I have a sea of green toy tractors I only have 2 1/16 scale red ones the 1468 it one of them

[@Corvacar]

Had Massey Ferguson not manufactured an 1150/1155 l wonder if IH would’ve made the two V8s. Massey was the first row crop with a V8. The Massey Ferguson was superior in several ways particularly in Hydraulics and IH didn’t copy that. Forget not that Ferguson was the originator of the three point system and, added closed center Hydraulics ( which Deere copied ) later. Fergieman
