Mark (EC,IN) Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I've always heard what good resale green paint has, well, I had my retirement sale a couple of days ago and I felt like my 1086 did alright. This is not a show tractor, it has pulled a bean planter, a sprayer, and hauled wagons in the fall for many years. With the buyer's premium, it came to $26,500. https://harmeyerauction.hibid.com/lot/166949202/1978-ih-1086-tractor?ref=catalog 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillman Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I am pleased you got that much. Looks well cared for and someone should be happy with it I had a conversation with a owner of a repair shop - parts dealer this afternoon , We both agreed good equipment will still bring good money judging from auction results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgriffin856 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 It looks well taken care of and probably can take it home and farm with it and not have to fix it first. Plus look at a new tractor of similar hp and all the modern electrical b.s and it's still a good buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 The value of good IH equipment has definitely come up in recent years. Sadly, so has everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the 1086 would bring more $$$ on the auction?? I've owned the Deere longer, and the main reason was it had better tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
