In my opinion, and anyone is free to disagree. The 06-56 series had the better engine. The engine was dry sleveed, so electrolosis isn't a problem. But besides that, they just run forever. It isn't hard to find an 806 or 12 or 14 that has an engine that hasn't been touched.

Second, they are easier to work on to some degree. The styling done on the 1066 seems to mean you have to remove more bolts, more tin, to get to what you are working on.

Third, I don't like the injector pump on the 1066. You don't seem to have any power unless they are wide open. Grinding feed, for instance, with the grinder full I can let out on the clutch on the 1256, it will pull at an idle, you can hear it open up. The 1066 will die. It doesn't seem to lug at low rpms.

I just think the 06-56 series is a longer lived tractor with less hassle. If I were buying an older tractor for auger work or chore work, I think a 1206-1256 is a better tractor at a cheaper price, even though it has a few more years. The only thing to miss is air conditioning.
