Looking to add another 4WD tractor.  Have an 846 Versatile with the old L10 Cummins.  Just wanting to add something easier for the hired help to drive as a lot of folks can't handle the old constant-mesh 12 speed.   New tractor will be pulling the same implements as the 846.

The L10 is rated at 230hp/748 ft.lb. torque.  Considering a New Holland 9282 with the 8.3L at 270hp/825 ft.lb.   I know the 8.3's don't have the grunt of a M11 or N14, but the numbers look better than the old L10.  

Will a 9282 pull head to head with the old 846?  I'd prefer a 9482 or 9484, but they are harder to find that 92's.
