Hurst, I guess it depends on what you are
wanting. I have a 600D with ahand clutch and I
get off on the fact that it is what it is, so I'm
willing to put up with some
idiosynchrasies(sic). From a purely practicle
standpoint, it wouldn't be the greatest. But if
you like the 660, I say go for it. You can bale
with it; you shouldn't turn that short with a baler
anyway. It was the biggest wheel tractor that IH
made in '59 so it should be able to handle the
weight and power requirments of that batwing.
Usually adding another hyd remote isn't that
hard. I don't think that 3 point could be added,
not easily anyway. A hand clutch is kind of
"clutzy", but again, if you like it it's kind of fun to
have something different.
It's kind of a rare tractor, so people will haul
something like that further than 280 miles to
get it home. The price doesn't seem too bad
as long as it doesn't require a "major" soon.
However, if you don't care one way or the
other, get a 656. It would be a bit more
practical. That's not why I like my 600, though!
