We had one back in the late 70's and early 80's. Good basic tractor. Very strong hydraulics. We had a Leon loader on ours and we had trouble with the front end being too light. Actually tore the knee piece off the front end. Two others in the neighborhoood had farmer re-inforced front ends. Personally I did not like the "lightning bolt" gear pattern.

The 574 was built between about 1970 and '78. A four pop that develops around 45 horse at the drawbar and 52 at the PTO.

It is one of those little utility type guys.

I have a 674 basicly same tractor as 574 except the engine is tuned for more power on the 674 has the same cubic capacity though around 235 cubuc inches My previous tractor was a massey fergusson 165 same vintage but supposedly a less powerfull tractor, although I am hard pressed to see the differance in power between the two however the standard hydraulics o my fergy were inadequae for a front end loader so I needed an auxillary pump.

The 574 has a german engine which has a sweet note and plenty of torque, and fast strong fast hydraulics

the down side is the clutch is a little small in diameter so if using for loader work a kevlar or metalic clutch is recomended by my local dealer as a replacement. sometimes the lightning patern gear shift has trouble engaging, The German Neuss engine has a reputation for trouble starting in the cold I live in Northern coastal New Zealand so isnt a problem here.
I broke mine in half yesterday the adapter plate between the engine and bell housing broke as well as the sump ( Iwas using it as a bulldozer) so not the tractors fault I am told if the tractor has a torque amplifier be cautious in assuming it works as many had problems.
Also the hand brake works on a band and if left on will wear out the pads which can block up the transmission and hydraulics.
Probably the bigest advantage of this tractor compared with similar tractors of the time is the operater is catered for with independant PTO excellent hydrostatic power steering and excellent operator platform no gear leavers in the way ,and plenty of space to put your lunch or tools around the seat.
If u want a nice to operate tractor the 574 is it, if you want a low maintenance tractor of same vintage get a MF 165 series to 188 series tractor, as they have better brakes and the engine rebuild kits of fergies are cheaper than internationals here anyway. Ford, Deare and David brown also made good product through the 574 time frame
