Theres a problem spending that little bit more to buy 'more' tractor: you could buy bigger than you can use.
Let me explain: before I bought a 656 Farmall gas, I bought an Oliver 1850 diesel. Great tractor, approx 90 HP, but there is one problem: I live on 5 acres, and its just too much tractor! Just big enough to make it tough to clean the barn, gates have to be good sized to let it pass, and you better have pretty tall openings or that exhaust is going to take a hit.
The 656 is much more a 'handy' tractor in small spaces, and approx 65 hp is more than enough for anything I do.
And to top it off, now I have to sell the Oliver!

Just my 2 cents, for what its worth.
