INTERNATIONAL 1566 Tractor Planting Corn

@bigtractorpower wow! What a great find and nice video. Love the Farmall Internationals. My dad's planting team when I was a kid was a 6 row International planter pulled by a AC D-17 tractor.

[@jimmystrain883]

Love the old classic tractors and equipment

[@paulpence8895]

Close memories for me... For 66 series we had a 966 on the farm for 40 years... I remember learning to plow on the 1456, then grandpa bought a 1586, with a CAB!!!!

[@tannertuner]

Yep. Our first big tractor was a 1586 with a cab. And dad later found a 1566 open station as a backup. But we probably used it as much or more than the 86. Would have loved to have had a 966, 886 or 966 for baling hay

[@garlandhenry6792]

Love the old red ones - / - thank you

[@Darian-mk1bw]

Love the sound of those IH motors. Had a 1973 white cab 766 and it was a great tractor even at 9000+ hours

[@MrBigrigdaddy]

I got to run a white cab 1066 a few times as a kid,best memories ever! Thanks for the video.

[@brandonhickman6658]

Someone driving down the road 3 months from now won't know the difference between that field and the one next to it planted with a half million dollar planter and half million dollar tractor!

[@kdanen]

That’s defined not a half million dollar tractor maybe 30,000 at most

[@farmallfan1466]

Its good seeing ih equipment still working hard. I grew up in white cab 66 series. Mostly in the trusty 1466. Sure miss that tractor. Never had 1566, always wanted one

[@mrourcanada8964]

That was really cool to learn about the planter I’ve never seen one like that before and as always it’s great to see positive equipment out working in the field doing what they were designed to do

[@carlwolf4865]

That’s a smart farmer no fancy GPS to go down and still getting the job done that’s why IH was years ahead of the competition 👍👍👍👍👍

[@GermanShepherd1983]

It's too bad CIH discontinued the Cyclo planter, they were a great planter and very simple to work on. I'll run my 950 until the day I retire.

[@bigtractorpower]

They are great planter. My friend who owns this 1566 and Cyclo really likes his. He had just upgraded from an 8 row IH vertical fold 3pt model to this Case IH 16 row which he fondly refers to as the crazy fold planter.

[@thr8061]

Weird how that planter folds/unfolds & lifts. What a find! Ah the memories of all those hard steel surfaces inside a 1970s tractor cab. I banged my head way too many times and dreaded the button on top of the farm hats.

[@mikehazlett4229]

Enjoyed the video. 30 years ago when I was farming a 6 row would have been huge. We had a 2 row no-till AC planter. About 12 acres per day, but then we only planted about 30 acres of corn/year.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. What type of tractor did you run? What was the corn raised for?

[@brentgray7687]

Great video. My grandfather had the same setup on our farm when I was growing up,and it was nice to see it in action again . I had forgotten how the planter folded up. Loved the video.

[@coreysteen6525]

[@peteparker7396]

In the late 90’s I took a John Deere 7100 8 row, took all of the boxes off and added a cyclo air box to the bar. It worked great! Still have it but we don’t use it.

[@motorcop555]

Had the 12 row planter toy as a kid but this is the first time I’ve actually seen one in action and fold. Super neat!

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Wish I still had all the ERTL 1/16 scale trucks and tractors me and my best friend had as kids. My grandson would love them.

[@walkerdb84]

Yeap I had the 1/64 toy and always thought it was cool since it was so different than the Deere planters.

[@57fitter]

Just exactly as I was watching and wondering how in the WORLD you caught that machinery in the field, your beautiful flowing locks flitted out in front of the camera. Thanks Jason for posting. I ran a 1566 for a neighbor in the Fall of '75 just after I graduated. We were plowing with a 6-18 in some pretty heavy clay. Then later on about 1979, I worked for this same man and planted with an end pull 12 row. I had it down to about 7 minutes to fold or unfold from transport. Thanks again. I LIKE these type of videos!!

They'll last a long time if you maintain them. Up front they're expensive though. Not sure why he couldn't have a muffler on it. Might lose half a horsepower maybe.

[@jamiegivens3970]

Wow that was Beautiful! That sound Made of those machines is awesome.

[@bigtractorpower]

It sure did. The 66 series have such a solid sound in the field and on the road.

[@Cenlafarmtoys]

Love the sound of the 1566 brings back memories. Several years ago I saw a cyclo planter like that but it was on a custom made 3pt. Toolbar. It had 3 seedboxes and set up to plant on top of seven 76" sugarcane bedded rows. It had three planter units for each bed. Looked very heavy. I believe a 315 magnum on singles was planting with it.

[@teresajohnson849]

Nive planter

[@jerehummelgaard5319]

I had a brand new black stripe 1566. Last new 66 series tractor my dealership sold, there were new 86 series tractors on the lot also but more $$$. Thanks to Jimmy Carter I had to sell out in 1981, my 1566 had 900 hours on it at the time of sale, still looked brand new.

[@luisnunes7933]

Good old red!

[@CarlHolness1986]

Good to see a old classic tractor still going to this day

[@reyd6119]

That's really cool to see the old style cyclo planter. The drums had 8 rows and I remember when we used big flat rubber bands to cover up the extra rows on 4 and 6 row planters. I don' t think we ever thought about needing more than 8 rows back then.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Although I grew up on a John Deere farm I had an uncle that ran the "Red". This was a nice looking tractor here. i was fascinated by the planter though. I had never seen this model before. Quite fascinating development for it's time. Very good video. I appreciate once again all that you do. Keep up the good work. Old farm boy now retired in upstate New York. Grew up on 600 acre farm in Washington State.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1566 is one of those stands out tractors like a John Deere 6030 and Allis-Chalmers D-21. I grew up near Rochester, NY. 👍👍

[@45Deere9500]

I too, am surprised that he’s not running duals. The biggest reason I’d want them is that they give a better ride in the field. The extra width smooths the field out that much more.

it would look ace with duals on too

[@steigerpanther1001]

On my dad farm will have a INTERESTING 1566 and I Love it

[@SKC640]

I have heard alot of great things about these planters especially the way they raise and fold up make it extremely easy to work on them to fix and do maintenance. If I get back into row crops I have considered these planters for those reasons.

[@tannertuner]

We had one on our farm too. Dad found an open station for $6500 at a nearby auction. Also had a 1586. The 1566 wound up being the one I drove most. I was young. Who needs air conditioning?

[@stevenowen4150]

@@tannertuner which was the better tractor, the 66 or the 86? I always thought the 66s looked a bit nicer specially with no cab sitting up on duels. If it aint red..........

[@tannertuner]

@@stevenowen4150 I loved them both for different reasons. Our 1566 was open station. The 1586 had the full cab with a better stereo system than was in our car. The A/C was cold and the cab was tight and quiet. So the only music and air you got on the 66 was the song in your head and the hot breeze off of the engine. But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The 86 was supposed to have slightly more HP. It also had slightly larger rear tires. You sat forward of the rear axle in the 86, so it was a tad easier to stay on your row marker and the ride was better. It seemed like a mile from the seat to the hood ornament on the 66 but it was easier to see to hook up and the action behind you from the seat. I preferred the more convenient location of the gear shift levers in the 86 next to the seat and we never had issues with the linkage. But the 66 had linkage issues when we got it (used) and fought them quite a while until dad finally got our mechanic to remedy them. The fuel tank on the 86 was much larger but if you had an implement attached you might need a longer hose to reach the fill hole, whereas you could pull up to the front with the 66. I think the big thing was the hydraulic brakes in the 86. You could bust a bull gear turning at the end of the row with all that HP and hydraulic brakes, and I think we busted two before we learned how to be gentle, which was the reason he picked up the 1566 as a 2nd big tractor. I don’t think the brakes on the 66 were hydraulic but I could be wrong. There are reasons I would choose one over the other. Loved them both. I also got to use a 986 for a brief time and liked it very much too. Never got to work with the lower HP 66 series.

[@cristianpopescu7340]

Congratulations,man...✌👍

[@ScottPykare]

Awesome video! Really cool find.That was quite the planter back then. 16 row was huge at that time. Thanks Jason.

[@TonyM132]

I like that you showed the planter unfolding and then folding for transport again. Also like your statement that 1566 production was from the fall of 74 through fall of 76. I thought it ended in summer 1976, but either way, that is a much more accurate description than most sources give.

Imagine investing money in a new tractor and half century later, with proper care and service, it still works and gets the job done.
