How heavy a bale are you rolling with a 300-656-560? I started custom baling 14 years ago, started with a 560 diesel pulling a 5x5 1400# baler pulling on flat ground in 3rd gear, moved up four years later to a 1700# baler, already purchased a 806 & 856 a year before that to bale with but the 560 had a hard time with that baler, would not pull it in hills. I now have a 5x6 2000# baler 706 diesel with turbo-two 806's-1206-856,sold 560 seven year ago, sometimes it takes everything the 856 has in hills pulling in low 4 gear. I know my old 560 would never touch this baler. Tryed my 706 once to see what it would do, pulled on flat ground in low 4. I most the time bale in high 1 & 2 with my 1206 & 856
