I'm looking to purchase a 656 Diesel w/loader. I'm relatively new to these tractors and had a few questions if someone would be as kind to help.
1973 656 w/2000 IH loader
1. Did these tractors have the T/A option?
2. When equipped with the 2000 IH loader, what's the approximate lift capacity of the loader when mounted on this tractor?
3. I've read a few articles about a "low" utility and a "high" utility tractor. What's the difference, just tire size?
4. Did these tractors have a live PTO?
5. How many speeds for/rev?
6. Are they known for reliability?
7. What about the engine? Was there only one diesel engine that was used?
8. In your opinion, are parts fairly available?
9. I've read conflicting stories about fuel usage. Some say high fuel consumption. Any thoughts about this?
10. What is the price range for a 656 D Utility w/loader that is in good shape (everything works as it should)?
Thanks so much. We need something a bit bigger for our 30 acre farm and thought this might be a good match for random tasks (and lifting) around the farm. I already have a row crop and need a wide front because of hills.
