I got the same conditioner! It works great!

[@WesFarms]

We’ve been having some trouble with ours this year but it has been a good one up until now! It’s getting some age on it

[@cannontaylor97]

Really that's not good! I'm looking at getting a 806 now! I haven't decided it needs some transmission work!

[@eanprosser7141]

Beautiful 806. Sounds and looks awesome. My Grandfather farmed with a IH 560 in the late 1960’s and early 70’s. Great memories. Thanks for that.

[@canvids1]

thank Wes I am new to your channel but so nice to see you have your Dad in the videos. Back in the late 40's I was 9 or 10 and i drove a small 4 cylinder Case on a side rake and then when I go a bit older I used to operate a Farmall M as well, OH the memories. Now going to be 80 this year you never forget your first times on the farm as I can bet you do too. I enjoy how you do your videos.

[@buddymartin7923]

Awesome 806. When he goosed the throttle; I couldn't help but grin!!

[@casey5711]

Great Video , camera couldn’t be any better , sky’s can’t be any bluer. First time seeing that Macdon . Thanks for a great video again. 😀👍🏾🚜🌽🇺🇸

[@dennisperschbacher3688]

Cool old tractor. Watching your dad on the tractor out in the elements you really see how far tractor cabs have made your life easier. Although a nice sunny day in fresh air not bad either. Also you can’t beat the sound of those old tractors! Good video

[@jamesbreithaupt5138]

I grew up in central LA in a farming community. We had a JD 2840 and a Ford 3000. After some time, we eventually got a MF 1155. An old man down the road had a super C, a super H and a super M. There was a Ford 6600 and 8N. Some of the bigger farmers ran some large Deere's especially the 4630s and 8000 series 4wds. It is always good to see some of the older tractors. Keep up the good work.

[@WesFarms]

Very cool! Thanks!

[@claytonbatten7317]

I always enjoyed bailing hay. Sure have put a lot on the ground. Great video.👍🏻

[@jamesmarsh4957]

fantastic vid as always , love the old tractors , that mower looks in good condition too , hope it stays dry to get the hay bailed

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Great video Wes love the straight pipe

[@brandonm6052]

I dream of a turbo setup on my 806 with icb cab. Under 5,000 hours.

[@matthewallen9852]

Loved to hay when I was a kid where I learned to drive a truck at 4 great video keep them coming

[@michaellucht6351]

Love the Farmall, can't beat that sound of the turbo. Looks like you don't have to rake with it.

[@jeffliby7021]

Hope u get the 12 fixed looking forward to seeing u in 2021 at Rantoul

[@rongrose3746]

Love the 806 !!

[@billwhitman1529]

Actually the mower/conditioner looks in pretty good condition. Looked to do a good job.

[@WesFarms]

It’s good for what we do with it

[@hfff1]

I'm not a motor head so most of what you said sailed right over my head. It was interesting to see a sickle bar conditioner (slow}. It sounds like you have a flock starling that have taken up residence in the mower. Tractor was a brute and seemed like overkill for the mower. But I'm not a farmer and just pulled that one out of my butt. I really enjoyed the change of pace. Thanks Wes!

[@ja5onl6]

Wish youtube offered smell-a-vision. Moved west 8 years ago and so miss swathing hay and the smell.

[@WesFarms]

It’s a great smell!

[@zilla2006able]

nice old tractor

[@karljacobson1575]

Those are 2 dandy lookin IHC s !!!! Man would I like to get my hands on a 1206. Impossible and pricey if u find one...

[@thomasbooth9079]

I’m assuming you meant first IH/Farmall to have a turbo was the 1206, I think Allis Chalmers D19 May be the first turbo tractor..... might be something earlier?. Either way, cool tractors and good explanation of what you’re doing.

[@WesFarms]

You are right, my bad

[@ericlakota6512]

This is a tractor every ih colector would love to have muscle tractors 806 is alot of peoples dream machean. Sounds great

[@D4m4g3d]

6 am central time, video shows uploaded 1 minute ago. Idk why im so excited to watch.

[@jtoddjb]

I enjoyed the video. Big fan of the 806. I was a fool to pass up a beauty with a nice cab recently for $7500. I just didn't want to let that money go and now I regret it all the time. Looking for a 4166 though that's a reasonable distance to upstate NY

[@justkeepingitreal7768]

Love the 806 but I would like to see the regular cab 4x4 chevy dually too. There's just not enough regular cab dually's in the world!

[@michaelkroger899]

i do this with my ihc 1246 and a claas 3,30 m with conditioner-greets from germany

[@WesFarms]

Nice! We don’t have 1246’s over here

[@bigunone]

Dad needs some hearing protection. I wish my 884 had those fenders

[@timhowey3644]

That 806 looks good also how do you guys like that mac don I’ve only herd good things about them we have a Heston mower conditioner but it dosent cut good so we use our new holland 1411 diskbine

[@WesFarms]

It’s a good mower for our little bit of hay. A discbine would be a nice upgrade

[@jamesbreithaupt5138]

If you go www.koeller.com , you can click around to see some of their old tractors under earlier teams of tractors

[@kadekohl]

It runs on miller lite 😂

[@WesFarms]

😂

[@pierregodin1668]

A hay conditioner was not designed to squeeze the water out of the hay, but breaks the stem so the water can evaporate faster. Those rollers should be adjusted to the age and type of crop because you don't want to squeeze the water out since you will be loosing proteins and minerals that are so important in a hay quality. A flail conditioner will scratch the stem of the grass to allow water evaporation. A flail conditioner is better suited for grass while a roller conditioner is better in legume hay like alfalfa or clover. All types of conditioner should be monitored in each field in order to have maximum quality hay. Just a little info from a ag mechanic. Have a great day

[@WesFarms]

Thanks for the info. We’re not big into hay so this works for our operation.

[@donaldbrand1657]

we do mostly grain farming and we have about 5 acres of alfalfa orchard mix to sell to some local horse farmers and we cut with a 9ft new holland and a 50hp massy 😂 now I wanna put a bigger tractor on like this lmao

[@WesFarms]

Do it! Go big or go home 😎

[@porterisaacson415]

We bake with a 560 and loader with a turbo! We have a sickle mower with a Holstein farm! If he is selling the 560 does he have any info in it? The skinny windows o like the best with our old square baler. Some of them just spread the windrows out, but it is usually round baling so it makes sense.

[@WesFarms]

I’ve always wanted a turbo 560! His 560 is narrow front has with a loader. Not sure if it’s for sale.

[@alottfrm3772]

The 1206 should be switched to run off of Busch Light Corn Can🌽

[@WesFarms]

Good idea!

[@michaelkroger899]

greets-when you remove the metal-sheets behind conditioner, hay will be spread double wide, you have 1 day working with spreader less on land...more time for you and less work..:)

[@mikedillon6233]

I'm just curious are you going to fix your tractor so you can use it again to go cut hay?

[@WesFarms]

Yes it’s going to get fixed

[@Tony2tall]

Never saw a Turbo 806! Is that a M & W turbo kit or a IH upgrade?

[@WesFarms]

Not exactly sure what turbo is on it

[@dustybottoms3834]

Ron who’s channel? Can’t understand the last name

[@WesFarms]

Ron Lukow

[@dustybottoms3834]

@@WesFarms thank you

[@jamesbreithaupt5138]

One of our neighbors had an 806 and another one had an 856. I rode on my uncles 1066 and 1466 many times. If you go to www.tractordata.com , you can see the specs on many tractors.
