I farmed with both for many years, like them both, some jobs I liked the 560 better and most jobs I liked the 656 better. My 560 diesel was turned up to 90-100 hp when it was 1 year old so naturally on brute force pulls it would out do the 656 diesel.

My 656 always started a bit easier, didn't take quite as long on glow plugs.
