The last 4cyl field tractor we had was a Kubota M126x and it did alright. It would pull the 14' Kongskild harrows 4.5-6 mph depending on weather you were going up or down hill. We traded it for a NewHolland T6 165 with a 6 cyl and it pulls the same harrows in the same fields 6.9 mph up and down hill all day if you choose to go that fast and they are rated almost the same hp. Our T6 is up for lease in a year. They no longer offer a 6 cyl in Newhollands T6 unless you get a 180. The dealers all say the new 4cyl tractors are a lot better engines than from years back and we wouldn't miss the 6cyl. Kubota goes up to 171 engine hp in 4cyl and you have to get almost 200 hp in an Agco brand to get a 6 now too. Not sure about Deere. I saw a video not long ago they field tested a 4 cyl 170 hp Massey and a T7 170 NewHolland with a 6. Exact same hp almost identical wheelbase,weight and gear ratios. They had a new 5 sod roll over plow behind each of them. The 4 cyl Massey was bogging down loosing speed on hills and hard going and the 6 cyl NewHolland was staying ahead of it not loosing pace. Keeping pace to me means x more acres worked in a day or x more loads chopped per day as well. So do I listen to my gut and either buy out our current tractor were very happy with if we're not overly comfortable with the new payment amount on a 180 to stay with a 6 or believe a 4 will lug just as hard and try it? I told our dealer if the new payment he proposes on a new one is much higher than what we're paying now we'll buy it out and build equity in it and possibly trade it in in a few years time.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
