you are defenately right. I have a 560 myself but the sad thing is most of my machinery is too big or too heavy for the hydraulics to lift like my disk and mulcher. But I do use it to drill alfalfa and do light work with. I pumped water with it with a crissifulli lift pump until 99 when I purchased a LP Gas 560 and could hook the line up directly from the 150 gallon tank and no messy fuel ups. I sold the LP tractor this winter because of FUEL COSTS the LP would burn 2.5 gallons per hour pumping and the Diesel would do the same job on aprox 8/10 of a gallon per hour. One time years ago we were trying to pull 2 IHC 150 14X12 hoe drills with the 560 Diesel and it was dry and pulling them deep and it was using a little over 3 gallons per hour. That was the most fuel I ever saw that tractor use in the 40+ years we have had it.
