I rmemember when I was a kid dad purchased a new 2 row silage cutter and had a 560 LPG tractor it would not hardly pull it in 1st with the TA in slow. The dealer did not have a 806 on hand and with 200 acres of sorghum silage to cut dad purchased a used 560 Diesel and they installed a M&W turbo on it. It pulled 95 HP and ran so hot that it would melt the ends of the glowplugs off. IT would pull the cutter in 2nd nad 3rd with the TA in low side most of the time. After silage cutting we started plowing and the 560 with the turbo would really pull the little 3 bottom spinner plow but was like a pop bottle rocket tied to a roller skate. You could start it out in 4th TA back and shift to 5th TA back at 1500 RPM and let out on the clutch rather fast and it would rare the front wheels off the ground a couple feet. Then one day in the field it quit going as it had spun the center out of a bull gear and dad had the dealer pick it up and there was a new 806 there and he took me past the dealers and told me to drive the new tractor home. The 806 pulled the plow so good we got a new 4 bottom spinner and the next fall when we cut silage the 806 pulled it NO BETTER than the 560 with the turbo did but did not run hot-started easy of a morning-and ran for 9000 hours with out anything but a clutch
For gosh sakes if you got to use the tractor for a 90 HP one get a 756-806-826 or 856!! you will not be sorry

The crops raised were cotton and soybeans, with about forty head of mixed breed cattle. Mr. Walters owned two tractors then. A Farmall 300 on gasoline and a Farmall C, that had once belonged to his father-in-law, and had been converted from gasoline to LP Gas. Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
