I think common sense rules here.
I used to pull two 300 bushel gravity wagons together with my D19 Allis. With sideboards on the wagons, I could scale 650 bushels. The only reason I used the D19 instead of an 856 I owned at the time was the 856 wouldn't fit across the scale at the elevator with duals on, and I didn't want to have to take them off.

I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
