I'd throw in a couple of other components to the equation -- tank size and SPEED. Are you going to run 5 mph or 8+mph? Speed eats more Hp. I like a heavier tractor with 1000+ tank sizes because you have a lot of weight when full to shove the tractor around. I like the 130 Hp size pretty well for that job. A JD 4440 would be pretty ideal. Smaller 100-110 Hp tractors could be very loaded in hills. I'd rather have a larger tractor run at lower rpms to conserve fuel that something underpowered. |
