Paul/RMan Paul The smallest model the CC 110 with sickle bar is in the 16 000 US price range! And the largest model the CC 66 is in the 20 000 + US dollar range without attachments. All models use gasoline Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engines. Swiss made products does have cost more but they last much longer then the cheap stuff. -Urs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils machine. Dad had one that was a 79 model versatile 400. He actually had bought 3 of them new over the years. The one you have pictured is a 4700 it was made in the late 80 s and not a lot were made plus company went bankrupt so hard to find parts. The 400 dad had was a gas ford engine and no cab 20 ft platform. If you were in perfect crop it was nice swathing but anything less than perfect was hot itchy and a nightmare. Ran one about 100 /150 hours a year for a while hated every minute of it. We run the bidirectionals tractors though and love them just don't swath with them.

We had 17 of the old gear drive Gravelys at work with blades and snowblowers and it was around then that parts for those started becoming NLA. The hydro units were significantly more expensive so we opted not to upgrade. Instead we bought 4 of the little Bobcat S70's for sidewalk snow removal. Small, cramped cab, but still better than walking behind a Gravely in a snowstorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2+2 Guy Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I sure love my 656 Hydro Utility with a loader. I didn't realize how just how handy the Hydro really was until I drove my cousin's 674 gear utility with a loader the other day. The inching pedal on the Hydro is so easy to push down for a guy with bad knees and the infinitely variable Hydro is just so handy for loader work. On another note, I was in high school when IH first unveiled the 656 Hydro. Our Vo. Ag. teacher took the FFA to the local IH dealer's big Hydro field day. We got out of school, got a nice meal and we all got to test drive a 656 Hydro. I thought that was the handiest tractor that I ever drove. Tried to talk Dad into buying one but that fell on deaf ears. Well fast forward 40 some years and I finally got one. Loading the #60 plow for the trip home from RPRU 2013 in Lima, OH. Hydro's were the featured tractor so I brought mine with the snow blower attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poor farmer/logger Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 On 7/16/2017 at 11:48 PM, U-C said: Here is a Versatile promotional film of there Generation 4 Swather: Has anyone driven one of this or older models and what did you think of them? Interesting video, I've never seen the latest pull type that they showed in that video I don't think. We owned several 400 swaggers and one 4400 that we still currently own. Looked at a few 4700 and 4750 swaggers like in the video but never bought one. Always thought they were built a bit light and now parts are very hard to find for any of them. The 4700 were made light in the legs, after a while the frames would start to crack out and the wheels would start to go off camber. The 4750 was reinforced a little better I think but was still anpretty light built swather. The hydrostatic drive sure is nice to have on any piece of equipment though with the exception of some applications. My favourite that we have now is the high clearance sprayer. So nice to have infinite speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandhiller Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have a Hesston 6650 swather with Perkins dsl and 16' header and a 656 Hydro loader tractor that also pulls a rake in the hay field. I like the smaller size to get around in the corrals and the hydro is just handier and can creep along at very slow speeds when needed.

The high school I went to used one of those to mow around the school bus parking lot (buses stayed at school all day) and the sports fields that was in 60-63. Ag students would sometime operate it.

Gearclash Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Technically, all of the IVT/CVT tractors are hydrostatic drive. The hydro is not transferring all of the engine power to the wheels like it does on a true hydro drive like say an IH 186, but it make the infinite variability of speed possible.

dale560 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 This is what every farmer should have. These Volvo 50s are hydrostatic drive and I think the Deere 444e are and maybe some other brands are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
