Spring of 69 just 13 years old we had 40 cows plus young stock on a small isolated dairy farm in western new york.Dad bled green we had a JD b and a JD a brother still has both tractors today.Dad had been after a new tractor we tired out several, oliver 1550,ford 4000 selectoshift ,ih 656 rowcrop,JD 3020 and JD 2020! I loved them all it was like having our own farm days at home then! Dad wasnt sold on the oliver, wasnt a ford man at all,liked the John deeres but at that time jd was changing dealers around so dad just couldnt strike a deal he liked with deere! The owner of the IH dealership live close to our farm so he stopped often. that said dad got talked into a 656 diesel hydro with a three bottom semi mount plows! I loved that tractor,plowed,crimped hay,baled,chopped,and hauled many a load home with that tractor as most of the fields we farmed were over a mile from home.A real powerhouse compared to the old corn poppers at that time!Diesel powered,independent PTO,3 point hitch,and a fast road speed made big changes on a small farm back then!Huge it seemed at that time a toy for todays needs! Now days dad long passed away, brother still runs the farm,but I bought that 656 from my brother when dad passed. I dont farm on my little place just putter around but real glad to have that bit of my past and dads to plow driveway and get wood with brings back alot of fond memories every time i fire her up!
