Jeff, You and I are two of the very few with firsthand IH Hydro experience. I would not hesitate to use a good condition hydro tractor for tillage. My dad bought a 1026 IH hydro new(1970 or 71) and that was our biggest tractor. We pulled an 11 shank mtd chisel plow and for finishing,a 14ft disc with drag harrow behind. The 1026 was not a fuel hog,we never had to replace a clutch or TA. The hydro allows you to use exactly the engine rpm or field speed you want for maximum efficency. In 1980 I bought an 1155 Massey for heavier work,and the 1026 did the planting,haying and chopping as well as hooking on to the disc once in a while. I would not hesitate to buy another hydro if I could verify its condition and repair history. Then keep your trans oil full,filters clean,oil cooler clean,and watch your overheat light. Good luck, Joe
