A 606 utility is basically the same tractor as a 504 utility except the 606 has the 6 cylinder engine. I have a 504 utility (gas engine) with a 2001 loader that has been on our farm since new. I have considered buying another 504 and a 606 with loaders and one thing that I have found with some of them is that they can have hydraulic system problems where the loader is noticeably very slow to raise. The one I already own works perfectly so I am lucky to have that one for comparison.
The 504 that I have has been well maintained, but worked hard on the loader. It will lift a 1500lb round bale, but it is really too much for that little tractor. The power steering has worked well up until this year I noticed that it is beginning to get a little stiffer to turn than normal. I will wait to see if it gets worse before I tear into it.
The clutch on this tractor will grab, especially when the T/A is pulled back. The brakes have been poor since new--they work, but you need a strong leg to really make them work well. The three point hitch works well and is very strong. We did a lot of square baling with it--it worked okay for that too. We never pulled implements with it, so the T/A is original and still works fine. It is a good little tractor, but I am very accustomed to it's quirks--sort of a like member of my family.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
