So Long Farmall 560

[@Greg_Gatsby]

The 560 is one of my favorite tractors. My neighbor growing up had a 460 LP and his brother had a 560 gas. I was impressed by both. Both had TA and flat top fenders. Cool!

[@roostercogburn6932]

Beautiful tractor, my family farmed for many years down here in Cambria county, always used red power, our flag ship was a 706 diesel, your farm videos bring back many fond memories of growing up milking cows, God bless you and your family

[@PAFarms]

Thanks, I appreciate the support. Always liked the 706, perfect size for just about everything

[@johnnycampbell5234]

Love all the red power in that barn 👍🏻

[@lukemullis5849]

As my dad would say, the fewer tires, batteries, and filters you got the better off you are

[@PAFarms]

So true. I don’t need 5 tractors for what I’m doing.

[@crslyrn]

Sorry to see it go. I understand your reasoning though. I've always liked the Farmall 560. Stay safe.

[@ACfairgrounds]

I love my 560, I love them so much I have two of them. I don't think it would be a good bucket tractor like you said. But I made hay with it, and pull with the other.

Hello before 1948my dad had a team of horse's in 1949 ?? He bought the first super A Farmall in area. And a mower sis 5 ft then a second Farmàll A he had 60 tillable plat of land for the dairy and a left and right plow mounted on the back of 1 tractor and a new idea grain drill and a Farmall t 45 baler with motor and a single wheel on front and 2 good bale wagons in 1957 ? He then bought a Farmall 100 with loader and ground driven manure spreader. Sold 1st Farmall A all of this machery was all we needed and did a fine job to boot.no need for those big tractors Cjd wash state p.s. thank you and 40 plus cows🤔

[@DennysCountryLife]

I'm the same way. If it don't get used, it needs to move on down the road. Sounds like it went to a good home. Take it easy man!

[@nickardoin8430]

A tractor sitting in the shed doesn’t eat many oats but they definitely are not designed to just sit. Had two older tractors around here that got sold for the same reason. They were smaller and couldn’t do a whole lot. Bought a 464 diesel that could do more work by itself than both of those could put together. They also both needed work that I didn’t need or want to do and wasn’t gonna do so they went to town. Like you said, can’t hold on to everything. That applies for lots of things in life. It’ll all go somewhere one of these days.

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

In 1984 I bought my 560 diesel at a farm auction for $2300 (it had been recently overhauled) It was my main tractor on my small dairy farm.......cutting hay with NH489 haybine....baling with JD 24t baler......combininmg oats and barley with IH pull type pto combine.......picking corn with 2PR Int picker........plowing with 3-16 pull type plow However, I never ran it in winter ( Minnesota farm ) About 3 gallons per hour fuel when working it hard. Only money spent was on new tires. By the time I retired in 2007, I had a cracked head and cracked block and decided to salvage. 23 years of hard work for $2300........NOT BAD AT ALL. However, it had drawbacks besides it being the best tractor I ever owned. VERY HARD starting in temps below 40 degrees unless the tractor tank heater was plugged in was plugged in. As stated in video, I doubt it would have made a great loader tractor......(glad I had a different loader tractor) I always thought the brake system could have been better. But, it was the best, most reliable tractor I ever owned. However, I won't argue with the honest review given in the video.

[@PAFarms]

Thanks, I did enjoy owning it, I probably could have used it more but I want to cut back on things I don’t really need.

[@yesterdayfarm5273]

She's a beauty! (We have a 656 gas and would never sell it!)

[@AJmx2702001]

Miss our D282 that was turbo even in a 656 it was hard starting but ran all day with any non turbo 806 lol

[@samhungerford2440]

No now I have to find another channel with a 560

[@markcornell986]

Sorry to see it go..but life goes on..be safe..

[@hturbo1007]

I am sad!! I wish you would have let us on you tube know about it being for sale. Just because of your channel, I don't know what you got for it but, I would have given you five thousand for it, and picked it up. I'm a big fan of you ,and of Farmalls. Next time.....let us know....it would have been a pleasure of owning one of your tractors.

[@PAFarms]

Sorry about that. I will have a Baler for sale shortly if you know anyone. Possibly the 986 if I find a replacement.

[@hturbo1007]

@@PAFarms the 560 was my favorite. I don't know of anyone looking for a baler. Except maybe WTFARMGIRL.

[@sterff89]

Do you plan on buying anything to replace it? It’s fun to have a few old ones to play with but they aren’t very practical. I have a Super A, H, 460 utility and a 574. It is a lot of work to keep them running but, that’s half the fun to me.

[@PAFarms]

Probably not right away. If I find something with a cab I may upgrade and sell the 986 too. I did have fun working on it.

[@sterff89]

Are you looking for anything specific? Quite a few 86/88 series around.

[@Whipple1]

What year is your 460U? I’ve got one with a FEL and several Fast Hitch implements. Mine is a 1961. I like the old 460U very much.

[@sterff89]

Whipple 1 It’s a 1960, #7523 with the D236. I have a 311 plow for it too.

[@Whipple1]

Sterff89 That’s pretty cool. I’ve got the 311 plow, an 8 1/2’ FH disc, IH Carry All, a back blade and a FH post hole auger. I usually keep a 6’ box blade attached to it and will get it out to grade the farm lanes every spring. We don’t use the old 460U for tillage on the farm anymore but I enjoy having it around and tinkering with it now and again. It is still in original condition with just over 1,900 hours. Cheers! Whipple

[@clinthochrein888]

I bet it was a tough decision but considering how much use you had with it. It was time.

[@shawlewis6492]

Here's my question you said the 685 would be able to pull the baler unless the wagon was full so how come a smaller tractor like the 560 can pull it?

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Well I guess sometimes you have to do something you really don't want to. Boy picture at the end , you could put anywhere from past. Thanks

[@alexkolpien8588]

What size tires did u run on the rear?

[@antonyfarming]

Nice to hear her running be a little sad seeing it go but if you don't use it let someone else enjoy it 👍 why sell the baler? You not going to hay any more?

[@ihus9950]

Can't believe you sold the 560

[@josephlohman8002]

How much oil pressure does that tractor make just wondering?

[@rodderbeck1591]

Love your channel, love your tractors. Watching you give the 560 a facelift made me want to get one to paint. Well I did. Please check out mine. Farmall 706. The new member of the collection. Keep up the great videos and thank you for the encouragement...

[@edwardpidwinski9060]

What are you asking for it?

[@OldFarmAcresJoelK.]

You should have kept that suitcase bracket.

[@FarmallFanatic]

I would have ate a skunk for that tractor

[@PAFarms]

Haha, it sold as fast as I advertised it.

[@FarmallFanatic]

@@PAFarms Oh i'm sure it did

[@TDean-pu4hr]

Just curious to see how much you sold it for?

[@farmalllover8217]

Nice video. Man it sucks. But I understand. You should get a project m or something to replace it. Why are you selling the bailer? What are you gonna bail with?

[@travisfollowell3310]

Why are you selling your baler?

[@keithkuckler2551]

Does this tractor, have the re-done rear end, that, was a problem with these tractors, and, it helped to ruin IH, they had to recall them and fix them. To much power for the drivetrain.

[@richardmaurer9002]

The rear end didn’t need to be re-done if the S/N is high enough. Like late ‘61-ish

[@jamesgeasley4732]

Get ya a 1066. To replace 560.

[@PAFarms]

I saw a few nice 1066s for sale but I probably won’t add anything right away

[@jamesgeasley4732]

I want a 766 my self.

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

👍👍

[@calumanderson5617]

Good bye 560 😭👋

[@mikekahl5609]

It does more damage not using a tractor than using it.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Ah man, I would have bought it! lol

[@PAFarms]

Haha I guess I should have had an auction on KZbin live? Probably selling the Baler if you need a backup....
