If you only needed 70-80 hp, you may find you have a fuel hog on your hands. When farming I found the only jobs you could afford to use these big IH turbos for were jobs that required every inch of horsepower they had. I had IH 240 round baler, 656 or 560 diesels would bale just as fast at around one gal fuel per hour. 656 was faster than 1066 on baler because it was more agile 1066 would pour through 4-5 gal per hour on baler. It didn't burn much more than that on 22 ft disk or NH 890 forage harvester. You will also find that big tractor more troublesome mechanically if its not working to capacity. Parts counter will make you WEEP.
