mb86 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Aye I know what you meant, it was a poor attempt at humour by me! Around here a 150 hp is still a big tractor to most farms. What's next on your wanted list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here a 150 hp is still a big tractor to most farms. What's next on your wanted list? no i got it Martin, nationaly the average hp has increased year on year,the contractors I drive for run a few 240 hp tractors with 2 smaller ones,probably most contractors run 200 hp plus,in the seventies to early eighties you would have been lucky to see anything above 75 hp down here in devon,times change Martin I suppose,as for buying anything else that is it and also selling has stopped as well!!!!!!,all my gear matches well now,so hopefully I will resist just buying something for the sake of it,regret buying it and then selling it,but as I have said before the fendt 820 mf 8450 atles 946 and case ih mxu 135 will never be sold ,as I drove the real ones for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It doesn't seem long ago that a 100hp tractor was considered big around here, now like Martin says that's crept up to nearer the 150 mark. A farm that i do some work for runs a couple of older Fords and a New Holland T7050, I've posted some pics in the past leading straw or muck and such. Anyway, it was dyno'd last year and it was putting out 270 at the shaft, which translates to about 300 at the engine. The funny thing is, you never feel it has "too much" power when you're on it, its only when you get back on what i would call a "normal" tractor that you appreciate just how effortless that extra power makes the job in hand.

Paul Palmer Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Very true John,its allways better to have a bit more hp than is needed rather than flogging to death a tractor thats right on its limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_emmons Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 most of my collection is 50 to 250hp (most in the 100 to 180 category), and a few high horse power Class and crawlers as I like the look of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
