Ok guys - I need your experience. My finance and I recently bought a 706 gasser with loader and have purchased some fun accessories for it, bush hog, etc. WE LOVE IT! However, we did not realize how much we would wish we had a diesel, simply because we have an all diesel truck stop located .5 miles from our house - seems much more handy then hauling 5 gallon gas cans out to the hog! Anyway, we have been looking at a 656 diesel hydro. All I have heard is bad things about hydros and that you should stay as far away from them as possible because if they break - it"s expensive to fix. What do you guys think? Is there anyway to know wether or not the hydro is good - should you pulling something with it, run it so long, etc? I really love our 706 but we do need a diesel and my finance is convinced we need a hydro for the ease of shifting. I am not convinced. We are new into the tractor experience and just don"t want to get rid of something that runs great and into something that"s going to become a money hog instead.
