Now, a bit of history about the legendary 1206:
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 release marked a turning point for International Harvester, helping the company recover from a tough period and establishing its reputation for powerful, innovative farm equipment. The 1206 was also available in International Standard and Wheatland versions.
History and significance:
First turbocharged Farmall: The IH 1206 Farmall was equipped with a factory-installed turbocharger, a major engineering advancement at the time that increased its power.
First over-100 horsepower: It was the first row-crop tractor on the market to surpass 100 horsepower, providing farmers with more power for demanding tasks like plowing.
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 while more durable tires were developed.
