Hi all;
I'm searching for a tractor to replace the ones I lost. I see an ad for an 84 Hydro with an International front bucket. I haven't looked at it yet, as it is about 300 non-freeway miles away.
I've read a few reviews on the net (where everything is absolutely true!) I will use it for snwoblowing and small garden plowing, odd jobs, things attached to the 540 PTO, etc. Mostly light stuff.
I also have to be able to drive it under a deck that is about 7' high. It looks like it is a shorter tractor, more like my old Farmall 540 instead of the old 704.
Does anybody have any comments about its reliability over a geared tractor for these purposes? Things to look for, etc.? I promise to try to not burn it up....
