Most guys bought them around here for running hay balers and specialty harvesters (vegetables). Inefficient use of power for tillage and general work which is to say your fuel usage per hour will rise compared to a similar sized (PTO hp) non-hydro for work performed. Typically will handle 70 to 80 percent of load of similar sized non-hydro tractor as well. All in all the hydros were a good niche tractor for IH before the merger in 1985. Even before the 1985 merger however, the Deere 50 series 15 speed powershifts were getting to be very popular as replacements as repairing the hydros were getting very expensive. At this point in time they have gotten more expensive (transmissions) to repair and I hear there are very significant parts availability issues, too. It would be well worth to pay a mechanic that is versed in IH hydros to look at the tractor with you so you know what you are getting.
