You will be dissapointed with the 56 or 66 had many new ones and great tractors but " lazy ' Don't get me wrong i'm a lover of any-thing blue but without the turbo ( 7600, 7610,7700,7710 )or even a 7000 ,) just seems tired with 6610 FWA being the worst , we turbo'd 3 of them "What a transformation" ran cleaner , Less smoke , More power , Less blowby (Famous for ford) and used less diesel . Getting 95 hp pto from a 6610 ?
If you can find one , A ford 7810 (european ) 6 cylinder 100 hp , one of the best tractors ever made and it weighs little more than a 6610 or 7610 .

I just bought a used 6610 II with 4000 hrs, paid $12.5K, 2WD, new tires - loaded, ROPS, decent paint. Plenty of power for what I need, 170 acre farm, pulling batwing, roll baler, and clearing trees for a pond (when I get a backhoe). I also just ordered a FEL for it and am working on a rear weight to balance. I'll let you know how it works out, but so far this thing is awesome. Granted I've never operated a 7XXX series with turbo....

For what you need it'll be fine but a turbo can be had for the same money ?

You waited thin long, wait for an even better deal - it's out there. OR, offer a ridiculous price and if they bite, you can always try it and resell it without taking a huge hit.
