Big problem is that most tractor work is done at 1000 to 1200 rpm.I find my 600 plows, bales hay and runs the cordwood saw in this range.I cant understand why anyone gets taken in by this dual exhaust idea.The 6 cy and v8 conversions are not practical.The V8 60 HP has the same cubic inches as the 4 cy engine.The 60 v8 makes more sense but the engines are scarce.One fellow who used a 6 cy conversion said that every time the plow hooked on a root a transmission gear busted.Another problem with more horsepower is wheel spin.The tractor needs more weight as hp increases.Fellows who have put on the dual exhaust always claim an increase in power.After spending over 400.00 they have to think they have an increase in hp.I would like to see the sellers of the dual exhaust system provide a before and after Dyno test and noise figures.My Ford charts show the the 100 HP v8 generates 35 to 40 hp in the 1000 to 1500 rpm range.This would be quite a strain on a trans mission designed for 24 hp.
