What do you mean by earlier?  Most of the affordable hydros around here
are 70's IH's, and I'm looking in the 65-85 hp range.  The coolers on
older tractors could always be modified with an oversized oil cooler and
12v cooling fan. . . for a cheap and dirty fix.  I'll have to look into
it more.  I always assumed heavy pulling loads would be the pump's
demise.  but assumptions, well. . .
thanks,
john
