Anybody know where sets of these are? I saw a poster on here say he was moving his 2-MH from 560 to his 706, I take you have brackets then? I would love to run my 2M-HD on a 706 eventually as I plan on buying one. Would it fit on a 756 or 856 since the tractors are virtually the same? Brackets for the 06 series seem SO hard to come by. I saw that one 2-MH and 806 for sale on YT Mag a while back and I was thrilled, but you just can't find them anymore... everyone took their big horses off the picker when they stopped picking or went to a 234. I would love a set of 706 brackets, I was just wondering how many posters here know of some that still exist.
Dont know where you could find any, but I'd like to find a low houred tractor with a 234 on it, maybe you can help me out ;) Was thinking, I'd buy a sheller off of you when I come up to RPRU this summer.
If I end up with a third sheller I might be willing to sell one... I'm not parting with my grinder/sheller, and I want to keep the lighter backup unit. I'll see what I can find, I sure do have a lot of huskers.
It's a possibility that you are thinking of when I switched my 234 from my 560 to my 706 and then put a 2MH on the 560. I agree that these brackets are scarce as hen's teeth and is probably so because the 06's were only out about a year before the 234 came along. I did see a 2MH on an auction several years ago that had 706 brackets. As I remember, instead of axle brackets there was a 2-point hitch set-up that pivoted somehow. Now I wish that I'd bought the darn thing!
DANG!!!! Yes it was your post, I went back to look. I'd love to find one somewhere, as I said I am looking at a 706GD and figured I could have one picker tractor for both pickers if I had the brackets. As I said before, I had a royal hard one for that YT 2-MH and 806, but it was too far for me to go. Now I'm thinking it might have been a worth while trip. I'm lookin!!! Always lookin for somethin, I might talk to a few (older) friends who ran/worked at IH dealerships back in that era, they might have a name or two come to mind on who might have owned one... most of these small town guys remember every implement they sold.
