Andy: It will in loam to sandy loam soils. Some hard clays may give it difficulty. I farmed sandy loam and pulled 5x16 semi-mount 8" deep with my 656 on 16.9x38 tires. My only other tractor at the time was a 1066, and given the fact it had duals and busy with even heavier work, it wasn't worth the change over. I did plow with 1066 the first year before duals and a 12 ton manure spreader
It is rather interesting in that the day I started plowing with 656. We backed plow into shop, prepared to remove back bottom, reducing it to 4x16. Looked at all those bolts, then set two years. Finally I said to my hired hand, take it as it is and plow that clay hill behind the house. If you don't encounter problems there, none will happen anywhere else on farm. Over the years the 656 was a bit slower than a bigger tractor, however the plow repair costs dropped per acre. Remember this, a 5x16 plow at 4 mph will plow more acres per day than a 4x16 at 5 mph.
