560G have 64 hp. The diesel has 59. If you want more power, I suggest a bigger tractor. Can't go wrong with a 806, them things run forever!!

Except for the TA and at the same time that dry foot clutch every couple thousand hours. Not to mention that rediculous shifting mechanism. Oh and the hydraulic pumps go bad often enough and then the clutch shaft splines are usually shot. And forgot that little tiny pin the size of a pencil lead in the PTO breaks and the parking break is junk. Probably forgetting some things.

Yep all true, they were not made for dinking around, you bought it to go to the field, put it in gear and work it for years on end.

Couldn't prove it by me. Been a mechanic for almost 30 years and when the magnum came out our shop business took a nose dive big time. Proof is in the pudding. You better eat your pudding.

Business dropped of because there is no fix to modern equipment. Farmers buy new or rent. By the way how many hours do Magnums have on them, they haven't been out very long. I'm not the only person who has great things to say about 806's. You are one of the first I've seen that hasn't got anything good to say about them. All the things you've previosly mentioned will eventually wear on any tractor. Except the pto pin they were weak!!

Name another tractor that has the TA problem that IH had. I seen several with 10,000 or more with only minor probems in their life so far. I worked on those beasts for years and the Magnum was IH's cure to most of their tractor troubles. I am not talking about the MX Magnums cause so far they have had their share of troubles.

I have to agree, 806 is one fine machine.
