I had a 1416 years ago. It had liquid filled lug rear tires, twin transmissions and a 3 point. It was one serious pulling machine. While doing some logging I punctured both rear tires, they were 2 ply. I was able to find a pair of 4 ply lugs to replace them, but still had them filled. I also had a Farmall Cub, but sold both in the mid 70s when I got a Case 446 GT.
Wish I still had all of them!!!!

Hi BrianG,
When I got the Case 446 in the mid 70s, it surpassed the other machines in what I needed at the time. The Case GTs evolved from Colt GTs which were hydraulic drive and Ingersoll GTs evolved from Case. The Case GT division was separate from the bigger tractors and was bought Jack Ingersoll in the early 80s. When I retired from the military in 1994 I restarted my limited lawn care business with a 1985 Ingersoll 448 and a 1989 Ingersoll 4018, both with Hydrabaggers which is a collection system hydraulically driven by the tractor. Great machines and with 8 X 16 rear tires. I did lawn care in season and snow removal in winter with both machines, a 54" plow on the 448 and a 48" snowblower on the 4018. I have since stopped doing snow removal, sold the 448, still have the 4018, both of which I had repowered over the years. I now do limited lawn care with A Scag Tiger Cub and a Hustler X-ONE with a rear discharge deck which does cemetery duty.
