Oh, heck, for 3 grand buy the 560 and keep the 656. Then add an H. Think about all the time you'll save! One tractor for the haybine, one for the rake, and one for the baler.
But if thats not in the budget, I'd try the 560 out if its in good shape. I know how those 56 series gassers are on fuel. The hydraulics are better on the 656, but I don't suppose you need hydraulics much for baling. I would consider removing the fast hitch and putting on a standard drawbar, though. PTO operated equipment can get to swinging a fast hitch side to side some. I haven't had much expeirence with this, but have heard some guys talk about it and can see where it could be an issue. I don't know how much 3pt equipment you have, but if you don't need it, thats an option.
