I am an expert at using them Ray. I have spent hundreds of hours in a 1086 (many years ago) pulling grain drills and a grain cart. Man that goes way back... but the tractor is still in the farm, used now for ditch mowing, snow blowing, and auger work. Also have a loader for it but seldom use it since the skid steer showed up. It probably is getting close to 20,000 hours. Second engine, third PTO, but never an issue with the TA.
When we used it for field work years ago, I used the TA all the time. Every time I would turn on the ends pulling drills, and when using it on the grain cart to speed up and slow down all the time.
That all being said... I have no idea how they work. I do know that they go way back to even "M" Farmall's... "MTA" designation so they have been an IH thing for a while.
What are you going to do with the 10?
I dug up a couple of old pictures of the 10. Drills are from 2002, mower from 2004. Glen bought it new... It is the only piece of equipment we still use on the farm that is still there in all the years I have been part of that operation, which is going on 30 years now. It's fun to look back! I wish camera's were a little better back then! The operation is 5 times the size (and horse power!) now. That 1086 helped build it into what it is now.
The bad part is it shows how old I am getting :-(
