We played that game with both the inline six 855 and V8 903. Tractors were a 950 set at 348 hp and a 976 set at 360 hp. The 903 won hands down. Going up hills, the rpms might drop 100 to 200 at the most. The thing pulled like a locomotive. Pulling the same size plow with the 855, the rpms would drop about 400 and if they got down to 1,600 it was like turning the key off. That 976 was the biggest disappoint we ever had. Even complained to the dealer saying we were told these inline 6s were suppose to have more torque just like you now are saying. All he did was shrug his shoulders and said “ you didn’t hear that from us”. We’ve several 855s since then and still have 2. None of them ever matched that 903. Several neighbors had Versatiles with 903s and they will tell you what I just did.
