Hello, I'm considering getting a hydrostatic IH for our veg farm--we grow about 20 ac. of veg. Would appreciate any info from folks with experience with hydros--I've never used one. Have an eye on a Farmall 656 diesel hydro with about 2500 hours. Would like the hydro to be dedicated transplanting or spading tractor--both low draft, slow operations. Couple of questions would be great to hear opinions:
-how do you know if the hydro is good?
-can hydros creep down to 0.2 mph?
-can these tractors be operated by short people (I am 5'3" and I hire a lot of women operators)?
-What is narrowest tires we could put on? (We have well drained, sandy ground and never get machierny stuck.)
