is it stock?

[CaseIH7120]

Yes - bought it used a couple years agon and just painted it up. It may be running a few RPMs higher than normal, but I don't know of anything else that has been done to it.

nice pull but aint an 856 kinda small for 11000 pounds small

[CaseIH7120]

Hey, that's why they invented weights and brackets isn't it!!!!!!!!! LOL-LOL

I have a cabbed version of the IH 856, my third favorite of our IH's at the farm my 4166 is my #1, and my 660 is #2. But i think my Moline G6 would out pull them all, except the 4166 of course.

The 856 is one of the best tractors ever made IMHO. A near perfect combination of engine, weight and transmission for its hp for any time.

The 856 is a awsome tractor we picked one up last all and I used it to cut and bale hay this year and wow what a torque monster well ai gusee 507 cid will help that out, Our 886 cant touch the 856 for torque

The 11,000 is not to heavy for the 856.Its just right.

@87ford460 i ran my uncles 856 this past year and this year in 12500, i beat a lot of 1066's and other bigger tractors, its so heavy cause of fluid in the tires

[PokeHarrison]

WOW!! TONS of torque!!!!!!!

We had a 656 when i was a kid - thing was a beast!

I bought an 856 in 1994. there isnt much that slows that tractor down even with 12,000 hrs on it

Weve had an 856 for 12 years now, best tractor on our farm.
