Derek, sorry to hear about the machines getting all beat up. I am glad that nothing happened to the most valuable piece of equipment on the whole farm....YOU! Be safe. Have fun.
I grew up in the hills of Tennessee. I left long ago and now it’s just mom. Just lost my brother and he was everything outdoors so these videos bring me such happiness. We grew up on a farm when growing tobacco was the crop to sell and the garden was for our food. We all hauled hay every summer. It was a great way to grow up. We’d all get up bright n early to either work something on our land or head to a neighbors if they needed some extra hands picking bushels of tomatoes all day. Or corn. Funny, I don’t remember feeling like it was work.
Derek! A guy here that used to do this work, we mowed 1000s of miles of embankment next to highway here in Europe, you are doing the right thing! Make sure you keep your brakes unlocked, most of the time it will start spinning before it will tip, so only lock the rear end if you really need it! What will help more is to buy a 3 point mower, a disk is what we used. Always keep that mower on the high side en never lift it until on reasonable flat ground again! Hope I learned a guy something!
As I'm from the UK, normally a guy isn't up at this time but I'm glad to see a video from vg Lodge as its always good to see you brother always makes my day and brings back memories of my dad
I enjoy watching your videos on both channels. My dad is 68 years old now and ive never saw him happier than when he is operating one of his old internationals. He has two 706's one 806 and they still do all of the farm chores from cutting hay rolling hay planting corn, all of the tillage. He grows about 10 acres of corn every summer to feed cows in the winter, and picks it with a new idea 1 row corn picker. He just passed his 1948 C farmall down to me with full cultivators and a disc since i was getting into gardening. If it ant red keep it in the shed. Thats one of his favorite sayings , or grass is green, tractors are red! All of his farm trucks are square body chevys by the way. And he has a little hot rod 79 camaro. But thats enough rambling from me thanks for your videos. Justin from north west alabama!
My Dad had an IH 1066 he used as a loader tractor. Moved a lot of round bales with that thing! Seeing this video and hearing the sound of that engine brought back a lot of good memories of my Dad.
Thanks for sharing your day with us. I grew up in Indiana around farms, uncle had a dairy farm, and I did a bit of square bale stacking in barns. You are teaching and sharing many things about the equipment and it makes me smile. (Sorry about the cutter)
I absolutely love this era of International Harvester tractors! My dad worked for IH in Hinsdale, IL. for close to 40 years as a field test engineer in the tillage department and always had his test implements behind a 1486 or something of the sort. I accompanied him on many field test trips on local farm land and sometimes got to transport them on the road from field to field with him following behind in the truck because I was too young (11 y/o) to legally drive a vehicle. Best tractors of their time (sorry JD lovers) and best looking too! Great memories!
What you want on those hills is the International 3588 2+2, the Anteater. It's basically your 1086 rear end and cab, but articulated and big 4x4 tires up front and a looooong nose! My dad went to a farm auction about 35 years ago when I was a kid and came home with the anteater. He was just trying to speed up the bidding to get to what he really wanted and then no one else bid on it. He still has it, and it still kind of runs. My favorite all-time tractor!
It’s cathartic watching you cut hay with these machines. Takes me back to high school spent a lot of summers cutting hay with an open cab Landini and a New Holland Haybine.
It’s official. Everything this feller and his family record I’ll watch. “Mizzle” just go live all day, everyday. Thanks for the years of quality content Derek and fam!
I'd love to see you fix the hay conditioner just for the keeping it from being scraped. You can cut open one side and use a hydraulic clamp to press out the ripple. They do it all the time on truck frames.
Thats a blast from the past. This was the biggest tractor on my grandparents farm so of coarse my favorite and i always had to have a ride when i stayed there.Seeing the inside of that 86 took me back to my childhood riding with my grandpa. Used to sit on his right side up by the back window. Many hours were spent up there chatting with him while he farmed. Id love to have one of my own someday ,still my favorite tractor. Cant go wrong with red power. Great vid, sorry to see the damage but at least you didnt get hurt.
An old buck I did hay with had two 1086 Internationals that we did all the haying with the one and I say his favourite one was Terribly addictive To ether complete junk and Refused to run the nicer one . To each is their own When I saw this it instantly brought me back .thank you
When I was a kid we ran a 706 with loader and an 806, both had many many hours on them. I always liked those old IH tractors, they were work horses for sure!
It's amazing to watch my favorite automotive personality perform farm chores. All I need now is for Pete to start doing revivals at Just a few Acres farm!
My Grandpa's biggest 1066, 826, 706, 560 German diesel, 444 gas. w/loader used for cleaning out barn and hog house / fixing fence/ picking apples/ plumbs/ i could go on....
Wow out 1086 was my dad's favorite tractor until it blew the hydraulic pump last year. Have been looking for another ever since. What a beautiful outfit! One of the smoothest engines made for the time.
Great video. That tractor is a GEM!!!!!!!!! My uncle has an old.1086 and.it.keeps on purring along. Those Tennessee hills and pastures are beautiful indeed.
Hey Derek. Tighten the transmission brake and when you press the clutch it’ll stop the movement and it’ll shift a helluva lot easier. You should be able to get it to where it’s not any trouble at all to shift it. People say the 86’s shift so hard because no one adjusts them. That’ll fix er up!
I really enjoy seeing you work your land. I wish I had the opportunity to learn how the different equipment is used. Thanks foe sharing. Please do more. Oh and a feller has been watching vice grip for about 5 or more years.
love the tractor!!!! grew up on all red Derek......574, 400, 856, 986, 1586, 5250, 7150. My fave was the 856. we used a NH dual rake. Great set up. Every time I see one its heartwarming. Our 86 series had ac and radios. I Absorbed a lot of country and Classic rock driving them in my teens. Perhaps you could leave that(JD mower) one for now and get a 411 discbine if they aren't too expensive. I haven't priced them but we had 2 of them and they did the job all day long. Just replaced the knives occasionally and greased them. Hay and sileage were my favorite times of the year. As for the JD mower....Im not a JD person. We didnt have but 1 piece of equipment that was JD but im not a person who likes to throw things away either. I supposed its a matter of time and patience to just repair as you have time perhaps. Might take another guy to do it. We often left the big jobs like that to a pro. Perhaps there's a junk one that has a good arm but is rusted out. Course Farm equipment is such heavy metal it doesn't easily do so. PS in your case its a good thing you didn't have a TA, probably would've ripped the arm right off of it.
Great video, please keep up the rural living/country themed videos, especially if they contain awesome machines like that. My cousin ran a 1086 when I was kid...
Our neighbor had a 1086 they bought brand new in 1978. Was nicer than new. They put it in the shed when they pulled in the yard to eat lunch. They originally bought a 986. Had that one weekend and he told the salesman to bring him a 1086.
It paid for itself in content. Move on, upgrade. We all learn from you, with every decision you make, regardless of the outcome. You are procreating knowledge in an abundance of subjects, in an approachable way no matter the personal confidence level. Thank you VGG family.
Love your 1086 Derek, she's a beaut. When I was just a young lad (way back in the 80s 😂) we had a poor old beat down 766 as our big tractor, all the leaks, pto not working etc etc, we loved it 😂😂
Maybe some suitcase weights on the front will help a feller with steering and traction on those hills. Safety first! Love that tractor and the farm content!
I was thinking a guy could put on skid plates for wheelie bars designed like steering skis on a snowmobile. Only much heavier duty. To keep that front end down! 😁 The guy who mentioned lexan to replace that window? If a guy keeps going in this direction? We'll be seeing a guy entering tractor pulling events! 🤣😂😂
I so love my you tube farmers. No matter who tractor brand. Farmall, International by far is my favorite. Thank you Derek and family for taking us along the farm. I don't think there is any piece of equipment you can't fix. I guess I would like to see it fix unless it is not beneficial for your farm. Then you should get the haybine that works for you. I know you can't be both places at once. I sure love your lodge as much as your Garage. Try not to stretch your self too thin. We won't to have you and family for a long time to come. George from Urbanna Va
I agree. Lexan (polycarbonate) would be good. With CO2 LASER cutters being so affordable these days, it shouldn't be hard to find someone to cut it perfect. At least something to consider.
@dwahnaslowdown8887 He has a nice cutting table in the shop... Would that work if he found a sheet of the right material? Or is that only good for metal?
Derek, I enjoy seeing you continue to run older, good, equipment. Most folks just give up on it. I'm running 2 JD 318 mowers from the 1980"s. One as a weekly mower with side attachment for a 68" cut, and the other with a homemade tiller attachment. Not on your scale but I'm only into both them for less than $1000. Beautiful property by the way!!
I sure enjoy watching this. Growing up on a farm in Iowa we did a lot of this. We had 2 small old H’s, 2 656s, and 1066. That was big for our 220 acres. I miss farming. Had to sell the farm when my grandfather died sadly. Thanks for the content!we had on old ford with a scoop, but were definitely an International family!❤
Looks like a good grazin hill haha, was out hogging today on my 1990 Deere 4455. Broke my side glass once, a fender, steps, roof, hood, and rear glass 3 times but its my fav thing other than drivin my 71 gto
I love my green tractors, but I will always have a soft spot for our 1981 IH 1086 been in the family since new! Hard to find them with a factory 3pt hitch. Wish ours had one!
Love me some old red iron! We had the shift linkages in the console and down inside the transmission completely rebuilt on our white stripe 1066, and now it shifts like a dream. They can be easy shifters if you have a good IH guy!
That's a mighty fine sledding hill. Send it to little grip garage to fix I hear he got some welding skills it be a perfect practice project for the fella
Man that's a beautiful 1086. We used to have one on the farm loved the look of them but yes not very good at loader work. They mainly excelled at pull work.
Use to buck hay when I was younger. We had 15 acres (which doesn’t sound like a lot unless you’re already working 12 or more hours a day). Luckily my father was still around so he set up everything, and my younger brother, a friend and me just had to pick it up. That was 80 to 83. Good job and thank you for reminding me of good times.
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ it's always a pleasure to see what's going on there at the homestead Derek, sorry about the equipment damage but I guess these things are to be expected at times. Thanks for sharing and be safe brother ✌️🇺🇲
Dude, trust me. Buy yourself some polybraid, a few reels, some Gallagher step in ring top posts, and 20 cows. Park the hay equipment and graze year round with rotational grazing. Put those boys to work ranchin.
Love this video! Not that much into tractors but the country and the activity is enjoyable. The lodge is a great addition to the channel for adding additional content other than cars. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those were great tractors, Definitely worth restoring! Get a radio, the AC & that display working and the hours will fly behind the wheel of the ole girl
I love seeing this old iron still being used. Tough luck on the window and the 1207. I think you will have to asses the damage once you can get a good look at it and decide from that point whether she is worth saving. My only experience with haying was on pretty flat fields so that looked like quite a challenge. Especially for the first time through. Thanks for taking us along.
I’m pretty sure I had a die cast toy version of the old International tractor exactly like that one. I did a quick google search and I should not have hit mine with a baseball bat into the bean field behind our house. 😂
Just some advice. Don’t get out of the tractor when the PTO is running, and you are by yourself. Never open an inspection cover when the machine is running, open the cover then run the machine and observe it from a distance I have seen what is left when a PTO is done with a man.
I've recently started watching this and his VGG channel and I love his videos but my only complaint is being a bit lax on safety sometimes. I hope he heeds your advice.
@@89sirmonk I realize that and every incident I saw as an EMT in Rural Oregon, involved people raised around this equipment, including a 16 yo who had his arms pulled off clearing the swather because even though he disengaged the PTO but didn't turn off tractor and PTO re-engaged, or tge 80 plus YO farmer servicing his combine to have a Hydraulic hose break while he was under the header greasing, found later deceased. Stuff can happen no matter how long you have been around this stuff so it pays to be a little cautious.
Beautiful old tractor! Hard to beat an old new holland haybine! There’s millions of them around for a reason. We had an old Heston PT7 on grandads farm. Used it behind a 620 John Deere. Worked good only used it a few years before grandad passed and we quit farming. Before that we used a sickle bar mower on a ford jubilee, and a new holland crimper behind a Farmall BN or a John Deere B. Miss those days for sure!
The more i watch Vice Grip Lodge the more i realize I know NOTHING about farming & the machines you guys use. Im a city boy that makes a living in an operating room & spent the first half of my career in level 1 trauma centers. Thats where I learned why they say farming is the most dangerous job in Amercia. When you guys get hurt, you get HURT! Like one less limb hurt! The scene where you were showing the inside of the machine spinning around I was thinking "please dont reach in there"! Im glad the very next scene you had it turned off! Those experiences gave me a whole lot of respect for farmers and the work you do. Thanks for the work you do to feed America. Some of us really do appreciate it.
I hay with a 1086 on some very steep hills in western NY. A 1/2 rack of weights up front and loaded rears makes it very stable. The 86 series is also my favorite tractor of all time and I'm so happy to see you get and refurb one!
Thanks for taking us back to mid-seventies haymaking. My grandfather decided not to get the optional cab on his International. Carting hay and snow removal wasn't much comfort in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.
Thank y'all for sharing. Brought back a lot of great memories from the relatives farm from when I was a youngin. Y'all need to do a few videos of working on the 1086. Y'all have a blessed day.

@@arcanewyrm6295that's just plasma. Just for metal
Derek, I enjoy seeing you continue to run older, good, equipment. Most folks just give up on it. I'm running 2 JD 318 mowers from the 1980"s. One as a weekly mower with side attachment for a 68" cut, and the other with a homemade tiller attachment. Not on your scale but I'm only into both them for less than $1000. Beautiful property by the way!!
Get another one but fix that one later. Thanks for what you do!
I sure enjoy watching this. Growing up on a farm in Iowa we did a lot of this. We had 2 small old H’s, 2 656s, and 1066. That was big for our 220 acres. I miss farming. Had to sell the farm when my grandfather died sadly. Thanks for the content!we had on old ford with a scoop, but were definitely an International family!❤
Your family farm sharing is totally the best
😜😜😜😜😜😜❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looks like a good grazin hill haha, was out hogging today on my 1990 Deere 4455. Broke my side glass once, a fender, steps, roof, hood, and rear glass 3 times but its my fav thing other than drivin my 71 gto
I love my green tractors, but I will always have a soft spot for our 1981 IH 1086 been in the family since new! Hard to find them with a factory 3pt hitch. Wish ours had one!
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Love me some old red iron!
We had the shift linkages in the console and down inside the transmission completely rebuilt on our white stripe 1066, and now it shifts like a dream. They can be easy shifters if you have a good IH guy!
That's a mighty fine sledding hill. Send it to little grip garage to fix I hear he got some welding skills it be a perfect practice project for the fella
Man that's a beautiful 1086. We used to have one on the farm loved the look of them but yes not very good at loader work. They mainly excelled at pull work.
That is a beautiful tractor!
Use to buck hay when I was younger. We had 15 acres (which doesn’t sound like a lot unless you’re already working 12 or more hours a day). Luckily my father was still around so he set up everything, and my younger brother, a friend and me just had to pick it up. That was 80 to 83. Good job and thank you for reminding me of good times.
My grandfather's last new tractor. Iconic to me.

ТВОЙ ДЕДОК ВИДАТЬ БЫЛ ЗАЯДЛЫМ ТРАКТОРИСТОМ ДА
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ it's always a pleasure to see what's going on there at the homestead Derek, sorry about the equipment damage but I guess these things are to be expected at times. Thanks for sharing and be safe brother ✌️🇺🇲
that little bend in the tongue is nothing to worry about, it will keep your dual out of the uncut hay better. hopefully the knife stills runs good.
Try fix it up if possible, then trade it up once repaired. great video as usual from 🇬🇧❤❤ love your farming videos
Dude, trust me. Buy yourself some polybraid, a few reels, some Gallagher step in ring top posts, and 20 cows. Park the hay equipment and graze year round with rotational grazing. Put those boys to work ranchin.

I've been watching your UA-cam videos for the past week, and they're
really great! You're doing a fantastic job as a content creator
Yeppers, welcome to farming. The pros an cons of raising it,or buying it. Thanks for sharing 🙏.
😀😀😀😀😀😀😘😘😘😘😘😘😀😀😘😘😘😘
Love this video! Not that much into tractors but the country and the activity is enjoyable. The lodge is a great addition to the channel for adding additional content other than cars.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That ole Binder is Beautiful 💪❤️🤍🖤🇺🇲

Beautiful 1086 - thanks for sharing it and sorry for the damage. More videos on the 1086 would be awesome!
👍👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Probably time for an upgrade for the JD. Love that old International!! 👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Yall did some serious refresh!!! She looks stunning
Those were great tractors, Definitely worth restoring!
Get a radio, the AC & that display working and the hours will fly behind the wheel of the ole girl
AC and radio so when the mower eats a rock you can't hear anything and just keep on driving.
I love seeing this old iron still being used. Tough luck on the window and the 1207. I think you will have to asses the damage once you can get a good look at it and decide from that point whether she is worth saving. My only experience with haying was on pretty flat fields so that looked like quite a challenge. Especially for the first time through. Thanks for taking us along.
And why did we not get an international refurb video?! Lol
Love the 1086!
Pretty sure he covers the refurb on an upcoming episode of Roadworthy Rescues due to be shown this fall.
What he said.
Round bales on that steep slope...It will be must see video!!! Can't wait.
I’m pretty sure I had a die cast toy version of the old International tractor exactly like that one. I did a quick google search and I should not have hit mine with a baseball bat into the bean field behind our house. 😂
I enjoy these as much or more than the main channel 😊 Please keep them going
Who didn't see all of those problems coming. Rocks, rocks, rocks. No rock guard. = $$$$$. Sure was a nice day to be outdoors. 👍👍👍
I'm really liking your farming videos! Keep em going. Definitely want to see more of your working tractors.
Just some advice. Don’t get out of the tractor when the PTO is running, and you are by yourself. Never open an inspection cover when the machine is running, open the cover then run the machine and observe it from a distance I have seen what is left when a PTO is done with a man.
I've recently started watching this and his VGG channel and I love his videos but my only complaint is being a bit lax on safety sometimes. I hope he heeds your advice.
Why do you do when you run a grain auger?
Agree. PTOs have done major injuries or deaths on farms.
He grew up farming. He's well aware of the dangers.
@@89sirmonk I realize that and every incident I saw as an EMT in Rural Oregon, involved people raised around this equipment, including a 16 yo who had his arms pulled off clearing the swather because even though he disengaged the PTO but didn't turn off tractor and PTO re-engaged, or tge 80 plus YO farmer servicing his combine to have a Hydraulic hose break while he was under the header greasing, found later deceased. Stuff can happen no matter how long you have been around this stuff so it pays to be a little cautious.
Beautiful old tractor! Hard to beat an old new holland haybine! There’s millions of them around for a reason. We had an old Heston PT7 on grandads farm. Used it behind a 620 John Deere. Worked good only used it a few years before grandad passed and we quit farming. Before that we used a sickle bar mower on a ford jubilee, and a new holland crimper behind a Farmall BN or a John Deere B. Miss those days for sure!
Farmer, master mechanic, race car driver....do you ever sleep? Keep posting, we'll keep watching and supporting!
You are very blessed with a good life, that you Sir has worked very hard for! Love your videos very much!
The more i watch Vice Grip Lodge the more i realize I know NOTHING about farming & the machines you guys use. Im a city boy that makes a living in an operating room & spent the first half of my career in level 1 trauma centers. Thats where I learned why they say farming is the most dangerous job in Amercia. When you guys get hurt, you get HURT! Like one less limb hurt! The scene where you were showing the inside of the machine spinning around I was thinking "please dont reach in there"! Im glad the very next scene you had it turned off!
Those experiences gave me a whole lot of respect for farmers and the work you do. Thanks for the work you do to feed America. Some of us really do appreciate it.
I hay with a 1086 on some very steep hills in western NY. A 1/2 rack of weights up front and loaded rears makes it very stable. The 86 series is also my favorite tractor of all time and I'm so happy to see you get and refurb one!
I respect your optimism. Sir, we need more of that in the world.
Thanks for taking us back to mid-seventies haymaking. My grandfather decided not to get the optional cab on his International. Carting hay and snow removal wasn't much comfort in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.
Thank y'all for sharing. Brought back a lot of great memories from the relatives farm from when I was a youngin. Y'all need to do a few videos of working on the 1086. Y'all have a blessed day.
