Mostly because that"s how much horsepower farmers were demanding at the time. Over 65,000 560"s were sold, while less then 5,000 660"s were ever sold. Horsepower demand exploded over the next five years, by the time the 06 series came out, the 73-hp 706 was the most popular size. Keep in mind that the 660 does use heavier final drives, and that the 706 has a totally different rear end, which is way heavier. 656 rear end is very similar-looking to the 560, but almost all of the bearings are tapered-roller instead of straight-roller, and the PTO is way heavier. Keep in mind that those 282"s were never meant to take 80 hp constantly. They only have four main bearings, and only have 14 head bolts. Most six-cylinder diesels in that size range have seven mains and 26 headbolts.
