our 656 gas will pull a 9.5 foot New Holland disk mower/conditioner (non swing so no hydraulic motors) in 3rd gear in meadow hay and possibly even old canary grass. use the TA on the turns just right and you really can make 'em square. even in 2nd it is still cutting hay faster than the old 230 windrowers ever could (or tractor with mower). i've hardly had it encounter overload situations unless someone runs a round bale through or something really weird like that! temp gauge stays in the 1/4 to 1/2 range.
i think if you can keep a 656 in 2 or 3 doing a job, you are doing just fine with it.
