Distinctive design: The 1206 featured a striking red and white paint scheme and a “Turbo” decal on the hood to signify its advanced engineering.
Addressing the tire challenge: The tractor was originally scheduled for a 1964 release, but prototypes produced so much power that they tore the tires from the rims. The release was delayed until 1965 after new, more durable tires were developed.
