Just thought that I would say that they are one of the most if not the handiest tractors ever made. We owned a Farmall 656 Hydro from 1980 to 1995. It spent hours at a time out in the field during hay season (limited by the size of its gas tank as it was a gas). It was one of the only tractors my mother and my sister felt comfortable driving. It never had the Hydro rebuilt in that time (3 engine rebuilds though), and was one of the handiest tractors on the farm. I will just say that I wouldn't buy one for tillage, it really wears them down. Also, be sure to change the fluid yearly, every 2 years at least, otherwise it will shorten its life drastically. Sorry for the long post, but I want to say something good about the Hydro, since so much negative stuff is out there about them.
