I'm am IH guy and have been for years. After the H and M I would not even bother with those models between them and the 06 series. There were just to many issues with them. They just seemed to have a lot of things that were an after thought on them, like a lot of other makers back then. The problem with the 06,56,66 series was the lack of hydraulic capacity. Puny little 12 gallon hydraulic pump and never had more than 2000 psi pressure. If you are going to farm 400 + acres over time get something with more and better hydraulics. Creature comforts are also better in other tractors. I will say the 06,56,66 series were and still are pretty simple to work on though. for a loader tractor you want to move up to MFWD on it. To many times your stuck with just 2wd in spring in cattle lots and such. loader on a 100 horse tractor will allow you to still use the tractor for other jobs like pulling wagons or drills for wheat or beans. Even can pull 8 row planters with them. Deere has some of the best ergonomic improvements over the years after you get past the 2 bangers. if you go there move up to the 50 series or so for the large frame tractors like the 44 45 47 models. I've never had to much tractor and lots of times to small of one. So don't get so hung up on a big tractor to do small light jobs. I've seen guys put 200 hp tractors on augers cause that was what they had available at the time.
