Just a couple comments. The 856 is a good tractor, a little more power then the 4020, (you didn't say what your going to be doing with it), and are a good dependable tractor. The only cons I can think of would be the T/A, and clutch and pressure plate which usally get replaced when doing a T/A job. There is a kit that can be put in to do away with the T/A if you chose to go that way the next time it fails. Have put some of those in.
The 4020 as I said is rated 5 or so HP lower than the 856, with less torque-rise. The 4020 is a more maneuverable tractor with better steering, hydraulics, and easier accessability on and off.
