DWF Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Yesterday while trucking gravel, I saw a very nice 786 cutting a hay field along the highway. It looked to be in very good condition. I was curious as to what engine it would have. A lot of dairy farms have went out of the dairy business however there are quite a few left in this area, NW Wisconsin. A lot of 66 and 86 series tractors still in use. This was one of the better examples I've seen. DWF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pump started leaking and when I picked it up from the diesel shop the guy said he didn't know if it was from an 886 or 786, so he set it for 886, a few more HP. I don't need it as it just mows so I really never noticed any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both were well thought of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injpumped Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 886 had 2 different hp levels also with the 358. It was bumped from 85 to 90 pto hp when the 786 was released at 80 pto hp. This re-alignment happened when they dropped the 686. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
