Is a 234 Hydro any good?

Pretty cheap, is there a reason?

Looks like a pretty stout tractor for the money if it runs well I would have to say well worth the asking.. I would still try to Lew him down tho.

The 234 wasn't a bad tractor at all. Not very big. Didn't have much more hp than a diesel SGT.

Notice it says "runs great" but doesn't say anything about the hydro. Maybe there is an issue with it. Looks like it has sat outside most of its life. I'd take a gamble on it for sure.... at least go look at it. For the condition, the price is about right.

I thought IH imported those tractors (maybe Mitsubishi? I can't recall for sure). They look cool but I would like into parts availability before I bought one. Pretty sure Case IH offered those small tractors for a few years in the late 80s too, maybe with updated graphics/sheetmetal/model #s.

That's correct. They were Mitsubishi.

My dad has one like that but not a hydro. He keeps a large tiller(60” ?) attached
to it year round. Has a FEL on it all the time too. Has had it for like 10yrs. Not given him any problems.
He says without the tiller on the back it’s a little light in the rear for the loader.
