How to get a little more horsepower

I have a John Deere 2555. I know the only difference between the 2355 at 55HP and the 2555 at 65HP is the injector pump. Mine dyno"s at 64HP and is a syncro transmission with turbo. Is there anyway to get another 5-10 horse out of it for those extra heavy wagons full of hay? I"d like to pick up a nice 4040 but haven"t been able to find one yet.

At some point, continuing to add weight will overwhelm the brakes or the traction of the tires. Sliding along downhill with locked brakes and tires that are skidding is a sickening feeling.

drivetrain and/or engine parts will be more suceptable to failure by turning up the pump.

2355 doesn't have a turbo so what do you mean?
Mother Deere's web site lists the parts for the 55 series Mannheim built tractors. You could check and see what identical and what's beefed up between yours and the next higher HP tractor. In the mean time, using a lower gear in the transmission is cheap & reliable way to haul the load(s).
