The 756 is infinitely more difficult to work on than a Cub.
With a Cub, one or two healthy people can lift most of the parts. On a 756, you really need an overhead gantry to safely remove major assemblies on the tractor.
On a Cub, there is one hydraulic circuit. On a 756, you've got hydraulic steering, hydraulic TA, hydraulic PTO, hydraulic brakes... NOTHING is mechanically linked. If you lose the hydraulics, the tractor isn't going anywhere.
You can load a Cub on a small landscaping trailer and move it with a 1/2 ton pickup. Moving a 756 is iffy with a 7-ton trailer and a 3/4 ton pickup, IF you strip the tractor of any unnecessary weight before you load it. You really need a 10-ton trailer and a 1-ton dually pickup, or a small dump truck to move it comfortably.
756 is a great tractor, but it's heavy and mechanically complicated compared to what you're familiar with.
