John, you bring up an interesting point. Automobile engines have undergone the same transformation in the quest for better gas mileage and lower emissions. I assume the same is true with tractor engines. With modern oils, especially the synthetics, wear does not seem to be a major issue. However, I'm an old-timer and in my opinion, I'll always favor a large displacement engine that is never asked to work hard over a small displacement engine that must be revved high to produce any useable power. The larger engine will never encounter the stress the smaller engine will.

My 32 year old tractor engine still runs like new. I wonder how many of these newer, smaller engines will be running 32 years from now!

Dean, thanks for the note. I agree with you, especially on the older tractors. My Farmall 400 runs real slow, but pulls great.

The choice I was considering was between a Long tractor and a Kubota/NH/JD new tractor. The three majors have similar sized engines in the 38-42 HP class, about 134 cubic inches. The Long, in their 45 HP tractor, has a 195 ci engine, quite a difference.

I have talked to several Long owners lately and they all said it works like the older tractors. I guess it is the larger displacement. One gent also has a 3 yr old JD. and a 5 yr old NH. The Long outworks both of them. I was quite surprised when he told me that.
Good day
Tom
