George: I've used a lot of Farmalls, all the way from SA to 1066, including a 560 and 656, never though any of them were great loader tractors. Cockshutt had them beaten by a mile on loader tractors. Cockshutt's transmission was far more loader friendly. The best loader tractor I ever owned was a Cockshutt 540 with a Wagner loader and front pump.
