Over the years I have had both series of tractors. The 656 was the largest of the small; the 756 was the smallest of the large... Both had their respective particularities. The 2000 loader was as bullit proof as they came, especially considering that the loader attaches onto the rear axle, removing stress from the torque tube as well as transferring weight to the rear of the tractor. The 2000,2001 and the 3000 loaders were the last of the good IH loaders that hooked to the back like a loader frame should!!! $$$$$ and eventual end use will make the decision. You could buy both, and keep the one you prefer. And this is not a stupid idea, as transport for 2 might not be much more than one!! Front end repairs will be likely with either unit. Personally, I am tempted more to the 756---better loader---better motor, as those 310s are just sweet; and I assume that either has been or will require rebuilding....--the shifter is better---being heavier and the loader hooked to the axle equals better balance--- more HP to work with---more speeds forward and reverse..........A hard decision, but I have a special place for those 310 motors........ Good choosing, and be sure to post your choice and the continuing story here. Any problems---give a big shout, and we will do our best to help................QR..
