The consensus is in. My regards gentlemen! I learned to farm with a 656 Hydro under me years ago. It would seem my affinity for them is not just nostalgic; those that have 'em love 'em, and those who've since sold 'em regret it. So here's the new program: for the transplanter and 6' tiller I need to move daaaaamn slooooow (makes a supreme seedbed), so the gear drive is out.
