Yes, but you said, "don't buy a 282 in a 706. The 310 is much better." You could spend years looking for a 706 with a D310, and if you need a tractor NOW, better a 706 with the D282 than no tractor at all. The D282 is a fine engine in its own right.
We don't have the worst hills in the world, no doubt, but there are a couple on the farm that the 1066 has to claw and scratch up with a loaded forage box. Coming down that hill with a loaded forage box behind the M or 560 was downright scary, and the brakes never really worked reliably on either tractor. Plus you had to go so slow to hold the wagons back with the smaller tractors that you couldn't keep up with the chopper. The heavier 756 with hydraulic brakes just made things quicker and safer, and it didn't use any more gas than the 560.
