I had a 706 International with a loader on it, and broke 2 front spindles; picking up round bales. Dirt didn’t seem to bother it but bales did. The only other problem l had was on a cold morning it cavitated the pump for your steering and tor que amp, ouch. The oil was to stiff, changed it to a lighter grade; but cost me a new pump
It was an awesome haying tractor. Good power for the hay I ever and the balers
It's definitely way nicer running it over the 560 for the disc mower. More than enough power.
haybine and the balers
I just bought a 886 with 3156 hours with cold ac.. im gonna enjoy driving it
They are great work horses

I've heard the front ends never liked the loaders, it's off and sold already. Good to know about the cold and the pump.
