I can't understand you fellows, my father farmed 200 acres with Farmalls 130, 300 and 560D. I didn't even consider a 1066 until I had 500 acres, in 1975. In 1972 I purchased a new Case 1737 uniloader. At that time I had a IH 2000 loader on Farmall 560. Two years later the loader was taken off 560 and put in shed, it was never used again. Those skid loaders will run circles around a farm tractor with loader. You only need 60 hp to run the round baler. You buy a good used 656 and a skid steer and your fuel and repair bill will be less than with the 1086 or the Case. The only jobs I ever used my 1066 for was forage harvester, 25' disk or cultivator and 12 ton manure spreader. Those big TURBOS are not very efficient on light work.
