Hay field removal with the IH 1206 and 5 bottom plow

[@rdestim]

The 1206 brings back 70s memories. The sound of a 1206 is like no other tractor. A smooth sound with no clatter that you get from most diesel engines. Changing gears could be a little tricky when you came to the turnrow to change direction.......still a great tractor. Dad had two 1206s that were used mostly for 6 row cultivating, plowing, and other equipment that required a tractor with more pulling power at the time.

[@JamesButler-i5x]

Spent many of hours on the seat of a 1206. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@lawrencebecht660]

1206 was probably the best tractor international ever made at least as far as I'm concerned

[@jacobenade3115]

Plowing is so mesmerizing to watch. Please do more clips on that...

[@JohnDoe-gq8tt]

I had one ( 1206 ) with a cab, I spent many a night harrowing many a day planting corn, chopping corn silage. That was back in the late 80's early 90's. Men as young boys loved it, still ask about it today. They thought it was the coolest tractor and still do today. I had a JD 5010 at the same time, they both worked like hell, both great tractors.

[@donaldgibson3121]

1206 making smoke! Love it. Brings back memories.

[@joecameron3512]

Awesome she sounds healthy.that oh plow doing a perfect job can't beat oh plow

[@peteschiavoni]

That was awesome. That 1206 is a beast. Glad I found your channel.

[@mossylawrence283]

Love the sound

[@bryanswing135]

Love old equipment, we had a 1256 with a Chrome Straight Pipe, that was an Awesome Tractor. I've heard about that deal in Rantoul, il would like to attend one of these years. I'm over south side of Indianapolis, in. Thanks for the videos.

[@WesFarms]

Rantoul show is great! You don’t want to miss it!

[@scottk8245R]

Gotta love that 1206 laboring away. She’s healthy😁

[@stevebrygadyr1675]

Nice soil. Gotta love a perfectly set moldboard plow, no matter what make it is. I miss plowing, it was always my favorite tillage.

[@WesFarms]

Tillage is fun!

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

❤ YOUR RIGHT IT'S COOL !!! ❤😊😊

[@ScootSack]

I got to hear that beautiful sound again as I did when I was much younger. Nothing in the world better than that 1206 engine rolling coal on a moldboard plow.

[@davidcampbell1306]

Brings back memories, mine on a 1466 effortlessly pulling 5 16s

[@charlienorton2337]

Plowing with the 1206 starts at 14:30

[@milesboehmer9969]

Love the smell of fresh dirt ,my dads plow was red ,it had the automatic reset with the white covers ,boy that will get your attention fast .

[@raymondhenderson1516]

Brings back the memories had A 1206 AND A 806 back in the day. Worked great then my dad upgraded to the V8 1468.

[@jeffliby7021]

I could watch that 12 all day long great video keep them coming 👍

[@rongrose3746]

Love your 1206 !!!!

[@jamesmarsh4957]

what a fantastic sight seeing that ploughing , love it

[@Allen7243]

Had her sister tractor an 806 that I pulled a 5 bottom with if I didn't have it mounted on the 1066! Great machines!

[@jameslcoble248]

That was a great thing to see. Almost need 2 of those going for occasions like that. I know that if I start farming even in small scale I'm going to get a plow for just in case.

[@Ticky66MN]

You're right, that plowing was awesome! Thank you.

[@gliderider7077]

Man there is nothing better than watching the first pass of newly plowed ground, expect maybe the smell of fresh dirt and diesel.

[@SpartanGaming-lo9en]

The 1206 is a beautiful machine but for now I'm happy with my 656. I'm definitely going to try to get a 1206 someday.

[@WesFarms]

I think the 1206 is the sexiest looking tractor ever built!

[@SpartanGaming-lo9en]

@@WesFarms I agree I love em. It's my dream to have from the 656 to the 1206. Ever since an old family friend sold us the 656 ive been hooked. Anywho have a great day.

[@jamesthalacker862]

nothing better than watching an old diesel tractor snort

[@mikedillon6233]

I like these videos Wes! I'll say one thing, your dad looks strong enough to rip your arm off and beat you with it! LOL! Looks to me like the farming life style is one hell of a gym! And I'll have to say, listening to that old tractor pull hard with that turbocharger is really really neat! And I didn't realize that you guys didn't do that anymore the moldboard plow thing, but just pretty cool to watch!

[@WesFarms]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danareynolds1976]

The 1206 the best tractor ever built

[@alspeers6931]

That tractor looks and sounds real good, appears to have been well maintained, the plow is set up properly and operator is plowing nicely, some guys turn plowing into a race,which I believe is unnecessary, going to fast,is a good way to break something, is rough on the operator and equipment plus it often makes a mess of the field, anyway job well done and nice video, (got to see the whole tractor, not just the hood and exhaust pipe, and no goofy music)cheers

[@claytonbatten7317]

If it’s old they all look good 👍. Glad you like your air seeder. We reclaimed some acres this year also. Iton weed fiasco lol. Looking good

[@mikethorntonr1]

Hey Wes I have alot of dt407 engine parts brand new injectors a fully rebuilt head and roosa master fuel pump then engine sent a rod through the block but everything else is good oil pump cool water pump and so on

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

Love the 1206!!! Hoping to make it to Rantoul next time since I'm only 2 hours south west!!!

[@jamesbuck3818]

After what I just saw someone treat a 1206 + his $350 Dually driving through fields w-the 06 in tow.. It IS SOO FITTING to see the 'Ol '06 yank those 5 bottoms through that Beautiful Soil! I Have not seen soil like that since I was a boy in VT @ the 'Ol Cedar Ridge Farm......

[@WesFarms]

It hurts my heart what happened to that 12 😫

[@goflyboy517]

You can argue that if you want..but you're wrong!! Good one!!!

[@WesFarms]

😂

[@lloydrobinson7081]

interesting video. keep them coming

[@mikedemott1720]

I covered alot of acres with a 1206 and a DMI Hydra Wide plow

[@ronss1]

we had same plow.....pulled it with a ih560 with blower until we blew a head gasket..then bought a ih 806

[@ronss1]

1206....I believe is 806 with a turbo

[@WesFarms]

Basically

[@richarddpetersen169]

Here on our New Holland air seeder there is a drive chain that has gears to be flopped for small seeds.

[@bjarnebertelsen9075]

Good sound

[@charlescarney4732]

Any tractor that has a turbo decals on it is sexy,even more if you can hear it whistle wile she works love it

[@deanbrown4512]

No better tractor than a 1206

[@jamesmccracken5400]

Greatha will be pissed rolling that coal the old 1206 looks and sounds good

[@hfff1]

The best ending!

[@RandyKuhn-ic8od]

Wow! That's the blackest soil I've ever seen!! Where are all the rocks?

[@WesFarms]

Black sand no rocks

[@tomservo5347]

My Dad used to pull his 5-bottom IH plow with his 706 that had a blower added. He said the 706 did alright except in clay where it'd struggle. He traded the 706 for an 856 that pulled the same plow effortlessly and it didn't have a blower. Just that 15 extra HP made a big difference. By chance those aren't White Park cattle are they?

[@WesFarms]

The cattle are shorthorn and shorthorn cross

[@ScottGaubatz]

it is about as cool as it gets.. tough 2 beat a 1206 open station!!!

[@calcreighton3385]

14 minutes before we get to the 1206?

[@WesFarms]

Fast forward I don’t care

[@Tcw2019]

That ol red paint snorts and does the job just the same as the green paint when it comes to that old tillage.

[@benivey9085]

If that monitor for the air seeder is like our grain planter. You should be able to set your seed size and info into the monitor to get your population more accurate

[@WesFarms]

I’ll have to read the book

[@benivey9085]

@@WesFarms yes sir. On ours we set the seed size and count per bag

[@sixtoes2313]

Wes. That some good looking soil there. Will you do a soils test before planting ? (corn/beans)

[@WesFarms]

Nope, we will just plant it and test later

A little surprised that you plowed into your fence rather than leaving the dead furrow alongside of the fence. Perhaps the last time it was plowed the dead furrow was next to the fence.

[@keydanTheMan614]

What gear was the 1206

[@WesFarms]

Low 3rd

[@corydriver7634]

Wouldn’t you be able to calculate the actual rate by how much seed to planted (in that first load) over X number of acres? Then dial it back to what your target is?

[@thomaswilliams2253]

I will argue about the 1206 Turbo - I think it is the best IH as far as looks go, but the JD 4840 is the best looking tractor in the field. I know I am wrong, but it feels right to me.

[@WesFarms]

Those are good looking tractors too!

[@jacobenade3115]

I will say the big bud is the most beautifull. But in your farmall tractor size and hp. Ill still say the massy tops it😂😂

[@WesFarms]

Those are pretty tractors too, but I stand by my statement! Lol

[@tduffysd]

Why not use modern tillage equipment that doesn't create a hard pan? A disk ripper would have left some soil residue and gave some protection against erosion.

[@WesFarms]

It was 5 acres and plowing is fun. We don’t do it everywhere
