zooeyhall: Go all the way right to M quality with comfort. Go 656 diesel, gear drive with TA. If you have been farming 160 acres with an H and M you'll think your in heaven. Efficiency like you'll never believe. This tractor evolved from the M through SM, SMTA, 400, 450, 560 then the perfect M with 6 cylinder diesel, 60 hp, IPTO, Cat II 3 point hitch, lower link sencing. You could go a bit heavier into 7, 8 heavier chasis, but if your watch these forums, there are some troublesom things those tractors we never dreamed of when they were new. 656, 666 and 686 still relatively simple in the drive line. I farmed years ago with 300, 560D, 656D and 1066. I have also made my recomendation without looking to see what anyone else had to say. 560 and 656 absolutely the most efficient horsepower I ever had on farm, they take it hands down.
