Well, I've been looking for a small utility loader tractor and there aren't very many around even looking on the net. I am finding some larger tractors with loaders though, which is making me rethink getting 1 tractor to do everything with instead of keeping my M and getting a 2nd small utility tractor. One tractor I've located is a 656 gasser with hydro and loader. Supposedly the hydro is fine. It looks like a utility frame but I didn't know 656 came as a utility? The big drawback on it is the 5 gallons/hr fuel consumption that it has a reputation for. If I was using it for much lighter work than it was designed for would it use closer to the 2 or 3 gallons per hour that my M uses or would it still suck down 5 gallons per hour regardless? Any other thoughts on a 656 gasser? Also, there's a 806 Diesel with a loader up in Wisconsin for $4,500, a 1600 oliver with loader in Oklahoma for $3,000, etc., etc. From a cost point of view I would be better off with the one big tractor with a loader to do everything with rather than 2 smaller tractors. Also I would be using the single tractor more regularly instead of only occasionally using each tractor if I had 2. Just wanted to get some more opinions on this and get any specific input on the 656 gasser. Thanks, Nathan
