Its like this the 806 is by far the best of the best, But it is alot of tractor . also keep in mind here that when a 806 does go down you better have a big piggy bank to fix it.. A 706 is a nother good tractor , BUT here again like others have said they can have problems with the head . Now the D282 will start cold IF the glow plugs are all working and in good shape along with starter and batterys . You did not say if the 656 was a diesle or a gasser , IF it is a diesel same thing applys on it on both the 706 and the 656 a block heater will be a big plus in winter . and even on the 806 . For a 806 to start in cold weather everything MUST be wright . We are talking sound engine good injection pump and injectors and good batterys . For twenty acres of hobby farming myself i would go with a gasser as they start in all weather alot less to repair the engine and just about anybody can work on the engine . The only thing that ya need to keep in mind here is to get the best performance out of the 6 cyl. gas they NEED 93 octain gas and i just know some know it all is going to spout up , well i run the cheap stuff in mine . Well i know more about these tractor then 99% of the people on here and spent alot of years working on them . It also states in the operators manual that MIN. FUEL REQUIREMENTS is 93 on them . With the cost of diesel there is no real advantage in my book for hobby farming . A set of plugs points and cond. once a year is cheap compared to and injection pump . Now as for the amount of fuel a 806 will suck up per hourmine will eat 5-7 gal. and hour under the plow running first high in corn ground and in sod all depends on how tough it is may go up to 7 gal per hour in forth low . on the planter 3-4 . My buddys 706 gasser with the 281 will run wright with the 806 and burn real close to the same pulling the same type plow. all depends on just how hard ya work them .
