The 656 gas model we have had as long as i've been alive (21 yrs) really gets the job done. We used to pull a John Deere 42 combine with it all day long and it never wimpered. Its a good strong tractor, surprisingly capable and very reliable. Ours needs new main bearing seals, but has for 12+ years and still just runs great. We normally use it to plant and bale straw, but it can pull a 4-bottom plow just fine, although here in Southern Indiana we live on sandy soil. I'd say go for it, unless you get a feeling something is really wrong with it. The gas usage may be more than a diesel, but it still isn't bad. You can't beat the exaust note with that smooth running 6 when it pulls down, either!
