Went to a farm auction south of Greely, Colorado
yesterday. There were 2 656's, both diesel, 3
856's and 1 5088. One 656 had a Dual loader with
a grapple-it brought 3200. It needed some work,
as there were a lot of oil puddles under it. The
other 656 had a turbo on it, and it need work on
the injector pump and the hydraulic valves, as
they were both leaking. It brought 2850. The
first 856 brought 5000-didn't see any kind of
leaks on it. The 2nd 856 did need some engine
work,as the engine was knocking when they fired it
up. It brought 2900. The 3rd 856 brought 3400-
ran well, and didn't see any leaks. The 5088
brought 9500-ran well All the tractors averaged
between 6000 to 9000 hrs.
 
I would have bought one of those 856s in a heartbeat. I don't know what it costs to rebuild one. I remember that when we had ours rebuilt one winter at the dealership grandpa walked around with a hurt look on his face for about a month. That tractor was his baby, though. It sure was a good one. It had trouble walking on water but we never put duals on it. They would be a pretty good sized loader tractor.
 
Any of those could find a home with me. Even with shipping, price does not look too bad. The 5088 price is especially attractive.
