Had an 1150 years ago, then two 1155 Masseys, this is the only one we have now. It is our second tractor only 100 hrs a year at most. About 3900 hrs or so. The v8 perkins sounds cool and really runs with no major problems, the problem is most v8 models were not turbo'd, they would have been more efficient and had more low end torque if they put turbo's on. V8 tractors are no more because 6 cyl engines are quieter, simpler and fewer moving parts than v8's.
