I suspect a number of factors, mainly design engineers got just about everything correct. I also had a 6 cylinder turbo Deere that was very close to 560 and 656 on efficiency. One thing they all had in common was Rossa Master injection. Just maybe Rossa Master is or was the best system. They were very sensitive to water contamination of the fuel. Nothing would cook a Rossa Master injection pump faster than water in fuel. Maybe farmers just didn't want an injection system that sensitive.

Another item to consider, Farmalls of the 40s, 50s 60s and 70s were among the best drawbar tractors as it applies to heavy tillage. Everyone wanted power everything for ease of operation, and with that we lost efficiency. I never could figure out why folks wanted to put a loader on a Farmall, they were a drawbar tractor, and there were far better loader tractors on the market. Basically those whiners destroyed the best drawbar tractor on the market.
