iowafarmer,
I have both of those tractor so I'll throw in my .02 for a light to medium use chore tractor.
The 706 is, the 756D is not. A 656, 706 or 756 gas would all be ok. 2 or 3 pt is up to you. The problem with the 706 is that when IH upgraded the tractors in the 1960's the farmers mind did not, or IH did a poor job of educating them.
A lot of men went to the dealer needing to buy a 806D but they still had the M on the brain. They bought a new 540 or 550 plow and went to work plowing 900-1000 acres a year with their medium duty 706g tractor.
IMO the 706 is a great support tractor, it can disk, pull wagons, plow snow, grade the driveway, spread poo. The 756 is the opposite, it really shines when pulling a 5 bottom, it likes to snort. But put it on 706 duty (chores) and it gets congested.
