My brother and I are useing tractors for working a small farm and for hobby antigue tractor pulling. I raise steers, ponies for my kids, goats, chickens, and turkeys. We do hay, fieldcorn and a sizeable garden. Until now everything has been done with a super C, H, W-6, and some M's. A friend of ours is trying to sell my brother a 706 with transport disc and 4-bottom fast hitch plow, and 3- point scraper blade. Here is my concern: up until now everything is very simple. Other then a complicated internal engine problem my tractors have never stopped me from finishing any field work or other project. I will admit somtimes it is with the help of this board. But, I looked at this 706 tractor and I am in awe. For (us) it is huge and COMPLICATED--simple by 2005 standards but it is not a 1940 to 54 vintage. It is way more tractor then I need for our farm, but its the tractor I used to sit on at the local IH dealership. The most intriqueing features of the tractor is that it was rebuilt from front to back; pistons, clutch, T/A, brakes and some differential work by the retired mechanic from our local dealership (that everyone in the area idelizes). This work as everyone knows is very expensive. The guy we know that is selling it is a master negotiater.. no match for us he wants top buck.
Should we leave it a dream and stay in our comfort zone our go for it.
