Well, thanks for the service to our country. I am a 6 year vet of the army, should have stayed and got that check. Oh well. Since nobody has mentioned them I will. The 84 series are real tractors. Such as the 584,684,784 or even a 484 which I have baled quite a bit of hay with. These have wide fronts great hydraulics, 3 point, good steering and just all around handy tractors. If you prefer the old ones go with a 300/350/400/450 or even a 60 series. They also have IPTO and are great old tractors. Here is the kicker. You will not find a better hay and general use tractor than the 656/666/686. They have plenty of power for hay baling and are great mowing and tillage tractors. The 56 is a little harder to start if glow plugs aren't working they don't start very well at all. The 66 and 86 fire right up even in cooler weather. I guess it boils down to one tractor for anything I would go with a 666 or 686. These do still sell pretty good at anywhere from 5000 to maybe even close to 10,000. I lucked up on a real good 666 at auction 4 years ago and got it for 4400 bucks. Not big IH country here in Mt Sterling, Ky.
