Ah yes, EVERYONE's favorite tractor, the 930 CASE! Jumps tall buildings with a single bound! More powerful than a speeding locomotive!Which 930 CASE are we talking about here? The regular 930 case had 81 diesel pto hp and 71 gas pto hp! The 930 CK had 85.39 Gas and 86 Diesel pto hp! I really think that the CASE tractor these folks are hallucinating could beat a 95hp John Deere 4020 was the 1030, not the 930! Of course, you could hop one of the CASES up to levels greatly in excess of stock, like say bolting a turbo on it and turning up the fuel racks, and then comparing it to a bone stock 4020. That would also sound real good to the case fans--until their beloved hot rodded tractor met a 4020 with the same kinds of modifications (heheheh)! Bottom line: A 4020 had aproximately ten more horsepower than a 930CK. There is no way that the 930 can overcome that much difference without serious help. Certainly it cannot if both tractors are STOCK. Moving right along, do any CASE owners want to discuss reliability issues? A good starting question would be: "How long can one expect a hopped up CASE 930 to hold together without requiring engine and tranny work?" Some possible answers (multiple choice): a.)2 hours, b.) 2 days, c.) two weeks or d.) two months! Another possible debate topic: "How many CASE 930 tractors would you have to sell in order to buy a John Deere 4020?" Again (multiple choice answers) a.) 2 b.) 3 c.) 4 d.) 5 or more! It has been fun. Remember, THIS IS THE JOHN DEERE BOARD! Don't expect me to love a CASE HERE!
