I'm not sure I would pull an air planter with a gear drive PTO tractor - could be hard stopping with out an overrunning clutch. The M - 686 were all great tractors with each one getting progressively better and more powerful. The 656 would be a good addition because almost everything that fit on the M would also fit on the 656. I beleive thy all share the same durability. The later model 686 I heard had an even heaver rear end that is probably even more durable. The diesel engins were also used on bigger tractors. I would guess that you could turn them up well into the 80hp range. just compair the engin size 310/312 at 70 hp to an oliver 1855 with a 310 putting out well over 100hp. I also wouldn't call the 504 a dud. We had one years back and it was a great cultivator / spraving / broadcasting tractor. You have to just use it for what it was designed for. It would be a very disapointing tractor in front of a 3-16 pull type plow.
