A word on the TA: People that avoid using the TA because they're afraid to wear it out drive me NUTS. On an 806 or 856, the TA is wearing no matter which position it is in, so USE IT. You'll get twice the useful life out of the TA if you use it. These aren't like the older mechanical TA design in 460's and Super MTAs.
Shift firmly and quickly. Treat the tractor as if it has 16 gears, because it does. Don't just use it for tough spots; if you need a speed that's halfway between gears on an 806/856, pull the TA. That's what it's there for.
Now I know some guys here will tell you that you can buy field ready tractors at those prices all day long, but I think they are dreaming, or are in some misguided way trying to manipulate the market.
You never see GOOD tractors at those prices around here. A $6000 856 has bald tires, has been beat to pieces and needs at least one major item serviced. A $4000 806 is ready for the scrap heap. That's private sale prices. Of course the dealers would want $12,000 and $8000 respectively.
I would be wary that either of these tractors is in need of something major in the near future, TA, clutch, engine, hydraulic pump, etc.. Could cost you several thousand dollars on top of what you've spent.
