I had a 560D from new for 17 years and 11,000 hours. The tractor should have been traded for an 806 when it was a year old, but the money wasn't there to trade it for an 806. Instead the 560 was cranked up to between 90 and 100 hp for it's entire lifetime. It was also worked that way, as though it was a 90 hp tractor. At aprox 11,000 hours working on a silo blower the old 560 deposited engine parts all over the barn yard. The 560 was a very economical tractor for me, it was not bought to look at. In 1978 I would not spend the $4,000. Can. reqiured to put a short block in a tractor without a 3 point hitch. No, I would not spend money on such a tractor today and if you already have an M you shouldn't either Go a few extra dollars and find a 656, 706, 756, etc. You will not be sorry.
