I always had good luck with the IH 574 utility gasser that I ran for years on the farm. Had excellent hydraulic power, live pto, power steering that you could use with one finger, a darn snappy governer and had enough gears to do anything that you wanted. Four gears in high, four in low and four in reverse. She would crawl in low range and really cook in high going down the road. That tractor was big enough to do a lot of work, but small enough to get into a tight spot or scrape out a barn. Had a really tight turning radius because of the swept back front axle. The only thing that I can think of that ever gave me any trouble is the shift linkage was worn a little bit and it would ever so occasionally get stuck in low and high range at the same time. This was inconvenient, but easy to remedy with a properly placed prybar which was always kept behind the seat of every tractor we had. Sorry to be so long winded. Kippster
