A 606 utility is basically the same tractor as a 504 utility except the 606 has the 6 cylinder engine. I have a 504 utility (gas engine) with a 2001 loader that has been on our farm since new. I have considered buying another 504 and a 606 with loaders and one thing that I have found with some of them is that they can have hydraulic system problems where the loader is noticeably very slow to raise. The one I already own works perfectly so I am lucky to have that one for comparison.
The 504 that I have has been well maintained, but worked hard on the loader. It will lift a 1500lb round bale, but it is really too much for that little tractor. The power steering has worked well up until this year I noticed that it is beginning to get a little stiffer to turn than normal. I will wait to see if it gets worse before I tear into it.
The clutch on this tractor will grab, especially when the T/A is pulled back. The brakes have been poor since new--they work, but you need a strong leg to really make them work well. The three point hitch works well and is very strong. We did a lot of square baling with it--it worked okay for that too. We never pulled implements with it, so the T/A is original and still works fine. It is a good little tractor, but I am very accustomed to it's quirks--sort of a like member of my family.
