The International Harvester (IH) 1206 Farmall was a groundbreaking row-crop tractor produced from 1965 to 1967. It was notable for being the company's first turbocharged tractor and the first to exceed 100 horsepower. Its introduction helped International Harvester recover from a tough period and established its reputation for powerful, innovative farm equipment. The 1206 was also available in International Standard and Wheatland versions.

Distinctive design: The 1206 featured a striking red and white paint scheme and a “Turbo” decal on the hood to highlight its advanced engineering.
Addressing the tire challenge: Originally scheduled for release in 1964, prototypes produced so much power that they tore the tires from the rims. The release was delayed until 1965 after developing more durable tires.
