I will add my two cents worth. Most 1486s around here were the "BIG DOG" on the farm when they where new. So most of them got the guts pulled out of them. So you might have more horse power but you also more than likely will have more wear on the drive line. So the more horse power would not be "free".
IF your stuck on a IH then I would chose the 1086 over the 1486 for what your doing. Keep in mind I bought a NEW IH 1086 and hated it so much I kept it less than 6 months. I still own a IH 1466 that Grand Dad bought new. I also still own the JD 4440 that replaced the IH 1086.
On any one of these 30+ year old tractors plan on fixing the AC and replacing the cab interior if you want a comfortable ride.
I will second keeping the 5220. It is much more reliable than the two older tractors. It and the 756 are much the same size tractor so I would keep the twenty year newer tractor.
