> It is evident you have little common sense, farming or tractor experience. You have exposed your ignorance. Do anecdotes have no value? Do you understand how the Nebraska tests are performed? Do you understand the difference between lab results and field results?
The Nebraska tests are carefully controlled so that real-world performance of different tractors can be compared. I'll take them over silly anecdotes any day.
> The 5010/5020 were overweight for the horsepower they had. Look at the weight per hp.
If a 5010 is 'overweight', that can be easily remedied by draining all the ballast out of its tires. Frankly, I don't know anyone who has complained that their tractor was too heavy for its horsepower. In the Real World, weight is good.
I HAVE looked at the power-weight-ratio of the two tractors, but apparently you have not. Going back again to the Nebraska tests:
4020: Ballasted weight + operator = 13,055 lbs PTO power = 91.17 hp Power-to-weight ratio = 91.17 ÷ 13,055 = 0.00698 hp/lb
5010: Ballasted weight + operator = 17,175 lbs PTO power = 121.12 hp Power-to-weight ratio = 121.12 ÷ 17,175 = 0.00705 hp/lb
The difference is roughly one percent. And its lower power-to-weight ratio means the 5010 is able to get just a little bit more of its power to the ground. Race cars, airplanes and rocket ships need a high power-to-weight ratio. Tractors do not. They do not accelerate, they PULL.
> So if you want to call my Dad a liar, go ahead. You are the one looking foolish, not me.
I've said nothing about your father. You brought him up, not me. But if he, like you, believed a 4020 can out-pull a 5010, I'd say he was mistaken.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
