Got a JD, MF and about to pick-up an old family Ford 3000. Just because I like the tractor, one of these days - an Allis Chalmers WD45.
But for a larger tractor, I'd like to find a 856 or 756. I just like the style, color scheme on these tractors - so at least that's settled.
Would use the tractor for haying, squares maybe, but certainly 4x5 round bales at some point and maybe a discbine - if I hit the lottery....
So which should I go with, an 856 or 756?
I'm leaning towards the 756 - looks like the right size/hp, however.....
From an intended use, parts availability (including engine American vs German engine), mechanical skills required to repair/fix, complexity, fuel consumption and just overall - which would you recommend? 856 or 756?
Any sage advice is much appreciated.
