As far as a Farmall/International is concerned, a hydro is a fully hydraulic transmission with infinitely variable speed from barely crawling up to about 20 miles per hour. They have a high range and a low range, most work will be done in low range as it is good for around 6 to 8 miles per hour if I remember correctly. Very light work such as raking could be done in high range, but generally speaking most people only use high for road transport. The hydro system takes a pretty good chunk of horsepower to operate and hydro tractors do not work well for heavy drawbar pulling. They are best suited for haying operations and loader work, in my opinion. If you get a gasser they are really tough on fuel, the diesels aren't as bad, but still worse than a comparable gear drive.
