I agree, Allan. For the most part, I found Hydro's are just like any other piece of machery...take care of them, they will take care of you. I always kept oil and filters changed, and NEVER used 'em for a brake under a heavy load. The 656 I had ended up over at a neighbors and it got over 8000hrs. before hydro went out. My 186 I bought new had an M&W turbo kit and kicked out 150 hp. I could out plow my Dad's 4320 all day long. Just kept it up at full throttle and never let it lug. In tough spots, I'd lose a little ground, in the easy pullin', I gained a lot of ground. I had a 1486 I bought new and left the dealer at 185 hp. Put close to 10,000 hrs on it with never replacing the TA. Never pulled it back in cold weather...never used it for a brake either. Ya gotta take care of 'em!
