What tractor was the first with live hydraulics?

I see some answered the Cockshutt 30 ....... I think for a mass produced tractor with live PTO yes, the Cockshutt 30 ..... but live hydraulics .... not sure.
 
James didnt reply yet so I guess I will pipe up.
First american farm tractor with live hydraulics,

1937 Graham bradley, pump ran off timing gears of the continental 218 engine
 
I have seen JD H with a little manual pump for hydraulic lift
that was factory, never seen one with live hydraulics. Unless
you consider that hand pump live hydraulics? I will look at
some of my old JD magazines and try to see what other
hydraulics were available for the H. Most of the JD H I have
seen had no hydraulics, just Armstrong lift. I could have
bought a decent H for $600 back in the early 1980?s with
cultivators and a snow plow and often wish I had .
 
JD H production started in 1939, but I don't think factory hydraulics were available until a couple of years later. They could be retro-fitted to 1939 models by the dealer later.
