I know your going to think I am crazy, but can you get a 75?
When you put 56 horsepower into motion, and then hit something solid, it pays for it to be a little over-built!

You certainly dont want a gearbox rated for less HP than your tractor has

My opinion is to big or go home. The gearbox needs to be bigger than the HP of your current or possibly future machine for sure. Spending a few extra bucks for a beefier part is good insurance in my book.
If you are putting more HP into a gearbox than it's rated for that's just asking for it to blow up on you. Warranty's won't cover abuse outside of operating specs.
