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. It is also a very dependable tractor over the long haul. I don't think of any one problem at the moment, but nothing will be trouble free forever.
As to resale value, unless you are going to trade in the next year or two,I 'd be more conserned with liking what I was driving.
Try to find out as much about whichever tractors past history as you can. There are lemons in every brand and model out there. A past history will give you a better ideawhat you are dealing on. Good luck. Don
