nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Largest of the 2wd 66 series machines, this beast features the 3 speed transmission and outboard planetary final drives. I know that DT Fan has one on his wish list! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Fan Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Aaron is correct, 15 is HIGH on my wish list. Probably have a few pics of these, will look later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robinson Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Probably one of my favorite tractors, as I grew up riding in the 2 Black Stripe 15s dad had. I'll get a couple pictures found and posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red River North Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 My 1566. Dad bought it in 1981. I bought it from him in 1986, so I've had it for a while. Pic is from 5 years ago, now it is retired in the shed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Im slowly collecting parts and some paint to return mine. Has 3600 verified hours but it's sat outside quite a bit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 From shows mostly and one from the local tire shop. Some are the same tractor at different shows I think. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmall1066 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 My dads 1566, owned it since 1986. Was the main tillage tractor until around 1999-2000 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farming Enthusiast Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Probably the most hp/$ muscle tractor a guy can buy from what I've seen. It really baffles me how much criticism they get for their 12 speed transmission (with TA ) when there were plenty of other brand tractors running around with 8 speeds at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale560 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Here is our big machine. Have a 1566 and a 1586. Going to sell the 1566 soon. And for anybody looking for one check out Bisman here in ND. There is a nice 3 pt 1566 with bad rod bearing on there now for 4000. Neighbor has a 5488 I want to borrow it and snap a picture of the big tractors. Sorry just looked they want 8000. I always wanted to get a 666,766 and the whole lineup. Now I want to get the 86 series. And try and get the big tractor of every series. 15,30 or 22 36, w40, W9, 650, 660, we have 1206 and 1256 but need the 14 then the 1566 , 1586 and 5488. Sad thing is we had or neighbors had the lineup but need to rebuild it again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road speed isn't as fast as a 10 or 14 but otherwise gears work out pretty well. Low 3rd or high 1 are field gears which kinda stinks because you gotta change ranges depending on what your doing. Grunt though you can't beat them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 One we had for 15+ years . True black stripe. Sold it this spring. It's an hour away now at it's 3rd owner. First owner was in Illinois I was told . Had a factory cab when we got it 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never run one but a person can run in TA all day (we often run 4L TA on the 1086 planting) so I consider hydraulic TA equipped tractors as 16 or in this case 12 speed.

BoilerRed Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Certainly a beast in its day. A few years ago I saw one on the local dealers lot parked next to a line of the new "utilities". Still can't get over how small it looked compared to them. My how farming has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
