Why get rid of the SM; Independant PTO, live hydraulics, 3 point hitch, power steering, diesel,TA, etc. How thick is your skull? All John ever asked for was an opinion on the 656 having as good of lonjevity and durability as the M. I could quite easily tell John knew all the differences in ratngs. You decided to treat us both like dummies. I also owned a 400 air planter, round baler, haybine, etc. And yes I have pulled them all with 300 but stayed away from all with SM because PTO. Sure the 560 and 656 have more power, but not that much more hp. The single biggest reason for going from gas M, SM, 300, etc to 560 and 656 diesels had nothing to do with power in the 1960's, It was all about fuel efficiency. I also called the 460, 504 and 606 duds just looking at the specs before we ever saw one in the field. That is precicely why none of those 3 ever came to my farm. You didn't read my last post, so I doubt you will bother reading this one. Guess who that makes look like a dummy.
