Steve: In my case it was also timing. Removing right dual from 1066 and moving inside wheel out was not exactly a fun job. 1066 spread the manure and at same time 656 that would have been sitting idle plowed. I also liked spreading manure on corn stalks and plowing it under as manure rotted the stalks faster that way. Corn stalks also flow through plow beams better at slower speeds, it just seems that at slower speeds the stalks have more time to flow and not plug up. That one alone saves a lot of 4 letter adjectives. I plowed 8" deep with 656 as I did with 1066. I will warn you there are some heavy clays that 656 is not going to handle 5 bottom. I don't think it will with 15.5x38 tires. I found 16.9x38 tres really made a tractor out of my 656 and 560.

Irregardless that 510 plow will be a good buy, the frame is much heavier than the older 540, 550, etc plows. Also when you get the plow, manually trip all the bottoms on plow before plowing, just to make sure they are working. E mail me if you want help with that, I still have a manual on that proceedure.
