We have a 1486 that we use for about everything you can think of. Chiseled with it this fall. Dad said he could hear me all way back to the farm. Love the sound of that 436 engine.
An excellent video! The 7288 and 7488 tractors were classic tractors. The owner of this one takes excellent care of his machine. I still run a 1586 IH bought new in 1980. Still pulls a 7 btm plow, 28' 496 disc, 32' 4800 field cultivator, 27' 5700 chisel and other implements. Runs with a 7130 Magnum. Prefer the older IH equipment!
Lovely seeing these historical machines run, while this one still has a modern look up until today :). We run 2 old international harvester Vineyard tractors, and a international 956XL (european model). The vineyard models are a 1967 International 423V and a 1975 international 633SA. Both of the vineyard tractors run alot of hours every year due to them being so convenient. The 423 is used for forklift work in the orchard, which is quite a few hundreds of hours every year. the 533 does alot of ground work, mowing and shredding treebranches.
Our big horse is a model year 2000 MX270. We had to go through the transmission last year due to a park check valve failure. Looking through the transmission parts book the design of the STS and the 18 speed in the Magnums are a lot the same, they just put power shift features in that STS transmission. That design sure stood the test of time.
What a great tractor ,it just looks like a real workhorse. I’m sure with so few of em made they are a highly sought out tractor in the industry Thank you so much What you do is really appreciated real Americans stand behind our farmers .
Great video those were great tractors Case did a great disservice to American Agriculture when they discontinued these wonderful machines. We currently use a 5088 and a 1456 on our dairy farm, I really like the STS transmission in my 5088
My grandfather used a 1984 IH 6588 on his 400 acre farm in Mid Michigan through the 1990s as a primary tillage tractor. Tractor had the same front grill at the Super 70s! Tractor was sold in 2008 to a local farmer that farm 12,000 acres. I still see that tractor today and wish my grandfather never sold it after getting out of farming. The same local farmer also owns IH 3388. Tractor was originally bought in northern Ohio from original owner that also had an identical twin tractor also for sale that was selling that one too.
Not sure but I believe it’s the rarest production tractor in the world second to the 7488…I was watching a story on this tractor and there is a farmer somewhere in the states that took the first one off the line on demo and bought it on the spot and apparently still has it…the video is probably a decade old now but it was worth a fortune I guess!..

@@bigtractorpower However it is a very big tractor for only 210 hp. I think it should have been at least 350 hp. By the way, when you say 210 hp, you mean PTO or engine hp?
We had three IHs a Turbo 100, a 185, and a 1066 with frontend loader. The 100 and 185 were used on Heston 60A tine pickup Stackhands, that we ran for 20 some odd years. We also kept a couple JD for row crop work, the last being a 4430 and 4840/50 series.
Back in the early 80s IH, after losing millions of formerly loyal Red tractor devotees to the Green Revolution, IH spent millions updating their tractor program. The finally realized those generational F 20 and Farmall M costumers weren’t following along as they had for decades and vastly stepped up their game. The 88 series tractors were the product. They had finally been able to stand toe to toe with JD and really had something to offer to the tractor market. But, like the country music song they were “Just a LittleTo Late”. Production agriculture was now in the very real depression era that non-farmers didn’t even know existed. The 80s brought about a time when farmers were just trying to hold on and not buying! And they weren’t buying new machinery for sure! But as far as concerned at the top of the list that farmers weren’t buying was the very innovative intermediate sized articulated 2+2 IH 88 aeries tractors! Then along comes -opportunist JI Case who’d been making their big bucks with light industrial equipment, not farm equipment, in to swoop in and scoop up the remains of International Harvester. And then, to show the outdated mentality around JICase, why all their farm tractors weren’t selling 😮all Case could think about was to repaint all their not selling Case Farm tractor inventory red so as to cash on on their buy out of long standing agricultural products producer’s innovative line of farm tractors. The very innovative 88 series of tractor innovation was trashed and I’d bet JI Case didn’t have presence of thought to even realize what they’d passed up.
One of the best tractors invented. I would like to get one for my 2 acre lawn, but I can’t find one. But I do have an Ertl Precison Series in my bedroom.
That thing is beautiful! Man, I'd love to ride in that some day (or one like it). I have long had a soft spot for the 2+2 tractors, and those with duals all the way around are so cool. I could watch this thing till for an hour with no problem. BTP, the title says chisel plowing, but is that implement considered a disk chisel or a disk ripper? Looked more like a disk ripper to me with the design of the shanks and how deep it was running. I know a lot of rippers have even heavier shanks but in some of my older JD brochures, their disk rippers have the same style shanks as this one, which is why I asked. This was one of the most enjoyable videos (for me personally) you have put out in a long time.👍👍👍
@@bigtractorpower I have a book about those IH and Steiger 4wd tractors and it talked about the experimental Magnum 2+2 that CaseIH was experimenting with.
I never cared for the long nose look of those tractors, but the spaced duals really make it look more proportional improving the look a lot, to me any way! Another great video Jason.🚜🤠
Bad ass! Sounds great! I read a post one time a guy said 2+2’s were not designed to do heavy tillage, rather more row crop oriented work...welp, this video puts that comment to shame. BEAST
A 2+2 was built for tillage but to run a plow or chisel plow to match a high horse power row crop tractor in the 130 to 180 hp range. A 2+2 was not built to run like 250 to 325 hp 4wd of the day. The Super 70s were beefed up to run harder on tillage as they were the highest horse power tractors from IH in 1985.
@@bigtractorpower thanks for good explanation. My relatives bought a brand new 6588 back then and I remember riding in it quite a bit. 6 btm on land plow. What a cool outfit. They traded it for a new magnum 7120 when they came out. My father had a 1981 tri stripe 1086 he bought new back then from Saxby implement. I wish we didn’t sell it.
I can remember when they were to be coming out with them I was in 8th grade in school and I remember my Dad's dealer and a iH rep sitting at our kitchen table trying to talk my Dad and uncle into demoing one but I remember my uncle said no because all our tillage equipment was to big for it we had two 4786s uncle rick didn't want to deal with it at the time but I wish he would have now.
Real interesting video on history of the tractor there were 2 in our area but don’t know what there model number was had an H I dealer real close but now they just sell Kubota
Could someone please explain why the 2+2’s were not recommended to have duals in the front? I guess I’ve seen pictures without the duals but didn’t know they weren’t supposed to have them.
The original 2+2s had a front end differential rated for about 80hp. It was basically a big MFWD. The Super 70 machines were far ahead of those earlier models.
It was hard on the front axle. People would turned them up and hang weights on them to try and make them do what a big four wheeler would do. the front axle was from a payloader and did not like that.
The front axle being built to light was the main issue but when turning sharp with front duels you have to be careful that front and rear tires didn't come into contact. Some people would put spacers on the steering cylinders to limit the travel and thus prevent this issue. We own 2 3388's and find them to be great grain cart tractors.
@@bigtractorpower bought them brand new my grandpa bought 16 first then my dad went to the dealership and 11 and 12 were there 11 was ready and my dad bought it and my grandpa was there the next couple of days and bought #12

Beautiful tractor. It sure knows that chisel plow is behind it. I wonder what percent slippage he's experiencing? Very cool Jason. GO BTP 💪.
Looks like a little.
