Allen: I worked a sandy loam soil thus pulled a 5x16 semi-mount with 656. I did ocasionally use 1066 but found it just cost me more to plow. 25% faster burning 3 times the fuel. Don't get me wrong 1066 was a good tractor, but only when it was loaded to the limit. 1066 was usually spreading manure when I wanted to plow anyhow. I usually did only 4 different jobs on farm with 1066, 12 ton manure spreader, forage harvester, 25' cultivator and a 20' disk with 20" plates.

Interesting thing about tractors IH 06 and 56 very fuel effecient, 66 and 86 lost that. I had a 100 hp Deere a 75 model very fuel efficent. Then in the next line of Deeres they lost it.

I don't know what it is about design engineers, they just don't get that word efficiency. When I learned to drive a car my dad had a 57 Chevy that gave 27 miles to the Canadian gallon. Today I have a Buick LeSabre that gives me 27 miles to the Canadian gallon. My dad hauled a ton of feed home from the feed store piled on the fins of his 57 Chevy. I wouldn't want to try that with this Buick. Today that would trouble some pickups. Progress is grand.
