No way no how on the 2255! Had two of them, great power from those Cat's but they were constantly blowing hydraulic oil out every hose on them. Fix the hose and two weeks later fix it again. Couldn't get me in another Allis either. We had a 7045 that wasn't worth a squat. Wouldn't start if it was below 50 and I know two others the same way, one a 7045 and one a 7060. And unless you like loud confined spaces stay outta the cab. Ours threw a rod about 5 years ago with only 5000 hrs and the neighbors 8070 completely shreaded the block last spring. The IH's are decent tractors with the exception of the torque amplifiers going out all the time. Personally I'd opt for a Case 1370 or 1570 or for a bit more cash a 2390 or 2590. They are torque monsters. Easy on fuel and last for ever. Power Shifts seem to scare some off but we change the filters every year and have had very few problems. The 90's have a larger cab and are very easy to get into, very quiet. Starting at about 5K for a good 1370 and 10k for a 2390. Well worth it.
