Hurst, I guess it depends on what you are wanting. I have a 600D with ahand clutch and I get off on the fact that it is what it is, so I'm willing to put up with some idiosynchrasies(sic). From a purely practicle standpoint, it wouldn't be the greatest. But if you like the 660, I say go for it. You can bale with it; you shouldn't turn that short with a baler anyway. It was the biggest wheel tractor that IH made in '59 so it should be able to handle the weight and power requirments of that batwing. Usually adding another hyd remote isn't that hard. I don't think that 3 point could be added, not easily anyway. A hand clutch is kind of "clutzy", but again, if you like it it's kind of fun to have something different. It's kind of a rare tractor, so people will haul something like that further than 280 miles to get it home. The price doesn't seem too bad as long as it doesn't require a "major" soon. However, if you don't care one way or the other, get a 656. It would be a bit more practical. That's not why I like my 600, though! Paul
