GS: I farmed with tractors all the way from Super A to a 1066. Had as many as 8 on the go at once. Never used anything heavier than 656 or 560 in the hay field. That larger class of tractor are longer wheel base, heavier, etc. Haying has never been a big horse power job on the farm, big man power would be more apropriate. Some of the tractors I have used in the hayfield are SA, 130, 504, 300, 560 and 656. On my farm the Farmall 300 still holds the record of having baled the most hay in a single day at 4500 bales. One other item the 656 is not just a 560 with new sheet metal. The change over from 560 to 656 was a complete engineering change in tractor configuration, making them more user friendly for mounted equipment. It doesn't matter whether it be fast hitch or three point, you can't get height of lift with the operator in the way. I always call the 656 just a Farmall M with comfort, and some extra power thrown in. I better not forget that extra power, last time I did and the guys were going to lynch me.
