I've got a '59 560 gas which is serving my purposes well. It's a definite step up from the Case VAC 14 I had. I didn't want to get into a "full size" tractor because I didn't have a shed tall enough (have since built a new shed with a 10' high door). I sure appreciate the extra power over the VAC. More power translates directly into time saved. Starts and runs well, no noticeable oil cloud, has a little tick which reminds me of a noisey lifter, but not sure what it is. It came with a loader which was modified to fit, don't know the brand as it is painted over. It is slow as someone else brought out. The TA works, power steering works. The rubber is worn down pretty good and checked. Tin is staight but could benefit from some fresh paint. The only problems thus far are sloppy steering, hydraulic filter froze and lift didn't lift the snow blower, and once when I shifted, it left the tranny in 4th.
I paid $3800.00 for it two years ago (central WI). I don't work it hard. I use it to blow snow off my 600' driveway and whack down and/or make hay on about 20 acres. Other than that it just rests in it's shinny new shed and takes life easy.
