For transplanting their is nothing - I really mean nothing better. I'd take a hydro over a gear any day for transplanting. It will outperform even the newest gear drive tractors for transplanting. Hydros are do really have infinate speeds - you can even set onions with them if you want.

Gas or Diesel dosen't matter as transplanting requires very little drawbar power and if you idle it down will burn very little fuel. You'll come to appreciate the infinate speed capability and superior 3 point lift capacity.

I will caution you that Although I like the Hydros (my dad had an 826 Hydro) they are not great tillage tractors. Hydros generally have 25% - 30% less drawbar HP than the same tractor in the gear drive version. Add on a Gas engine and it will put you in the poor house pulling a disc, plow, etc..

If you get it at a good price I'd grab it. Hydros are generally less desirable than gear because of the their HP loss and the gas engine. So you should be in for a good supprise on the price side unless their is another farmer like yourself or a colectior looking for that specific tractor.

Good Luck
