[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1337772, member: 22236"] My Grandpa had a 686 and a 886 when I was helping him farm in the 70's and 80's. We used them daily and often, never had a problem with them. Normal uses that I can recall: Running high speed equipment - rotary hoe, light discing, etc, come to the turn row and TA, then throttle back, for controllable turning. Heavy tilling in a hard pulling part of the field. When tractor pulls down to say 17-1800 rpm, TA, then if it still pulls down, start bumping implement up a little to get your rpm back. Hauling round bales in the hills (where I am now). On the 686 for sure, and I think the 886 as well, if you are going down a steep grade the tractor will hold you in DD, it will coast with TA engaged. Good to know on both counts. I coasted down a bunch of the hills then, saves fuel, with TA engaged. DON'T throw the lever into DD coasting in TA, faster than DD would be moving you. DD to pull start. I would have it put back in if I could swing it. Handy device. Use it, that's what it's for. [/QUOTE]
