FS25 International 656 v1.0.0.0
The International Harvester 656 is a versatile mid-sized row-crop tractor from the IH 06 series, produced in the 1960s and early 1970s. Renowned for its durability and adaptability on small to medium farms, it offers a range of configurations including row-crop, utility, and hydrostatic versions. Weighing approximately 6,000 to 7,500 lbs depending on the setup, it features options for gasoline or diesel engines, with the IH C263 inline-6 gasoline engine delivering around 67–70 HP, and the IH D282 diesel engine known for strong torque and fuel efficiency. Transmission choices include gear drive with 5 forward and 1 reverse gears, or hydrostatic drive for smooth, infinitely variable speed control—perfect for loader work or mowing. Design variants include the adjustable front axle row-crop model, a utility version with a fixed axle, and a hydrostatic model. Key features encompass power steering, live PTO, hydraulic implement systems, and a comfortable operator station. Its strengths lie in a reliable engine and drivetrain, ease of maintenance, and versatility in various farm tasks. Some weaknesses include the rough shifting of gear-drive models, limited parts availability for certain components, and higher costs associated with hydrostatic transmissions.
