DON"T be afraid of a hydro. Most horror stories are told by people who never actually owned one. They make the best loader/utility tractors. The gas 656 Hydro with a 2250 loader I bought about 8 yrs ago has proven pretty well bulletproof. I bought it from people who started to worry about the hydro quitting, simply because of age and hard use. Those have been 8 trouble-free years as a loader/planter/mower tractor and the hydro is still strong as ever. Some advice-before buying one, make sure the hydro is warmed up and put it under load to make sure it works ok. If you buy it, take it straight to a Case-IH dealer and have the oil and filters changed. I say that because you will have a lot of oil to dispose of. Use ONLY Case-IH Hytran-this would be the wrong place to save a couple of bucks using a cheaper oil. The enemy of a hydro is dirty oil. Now that you know where you stand, just follow regular service intervals(good advice for any tramsmission). A hydro is expensive to repair, but so is any transmission, especially one with a reverser.
