FarmerFixEmUp Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yup, I had my 1066 at the pull in Alcester one year and saw it. I just thought, "Who would do that to a red tractor?" I have a neighbor who had a blue M too. Haven't seen it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHC5488 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 My neighbor had a Blue 1466,. It was bought new by the Cleveland Airport and that's how they wanted it painted. I am not sure what the airport did with it. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superih Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Weighed the tractor Saturday, came in at 23840 lbs, 15360 lbs on the rear tires, this brings it in at 65% of the weight on the rear which according to Firestone's Data Book is the correct weight distribution. It was around 60% before adding the wheel weights. According to the Load & Inflation chart I should be running 10psi in the rear tires and 16psi in the fronts. We have yet to start harvest so it will be a while until I get to hook it to the disk ripper and try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdetig Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 What size and brand of disc ripper do you pull with it? How deep and how fast can you pull it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superih Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 CaseIH 5 leg MRX 690, just picked it up this spring so I haven't ran it a lot, but worked the local tractor pulling track (pure hard clay) at 6 mph no problem. It has 5" teeth on it, I'm putting 7" on it for this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdetig Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Let us know how the tractor handles that 690 this fall. I might be interested in buying one. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
