To answer a couple more of your questions- yes, the 656 does have an independant PTO. You step on the clutch, tractor stops, PTO keeps running. Only way to disengage the PTO is to pull the lever.
On our 656 gasser, which has high hours although not a bunch of hard pulling, there's never ever been an oil pressure problem. Light never flickers....amp or charging light flickers at low idle, but oil pressure has never been a problem. They're a good reliable tractor. Only current problem with ours is some rust flaking off from inside the gas tank which plugs things up now and then.....I did replace the head gasket a couple years back, but that's about all that's ever been done to it. Like Hugh said, the gassers do use alot of gas comparatively. But for bushhogging and just general occasional use, you'd probably be ok. If you were gonna go out at daylight and pull a plow till the sun went down every day the fuel bill would eat ya alive. But for the occasional few hours of running time you probably wouldnt notice it unless you had experience running a similar diesel-engined tractor. Plus, the gasser "should" start alot better in cold weather in case you have to use it in the wintertime. I say, if you find a good deal on one and it suits your needs, go for it.
