Joel: Probably wasn't a whole lot of difference in size of the tractors you listed. I certainly wouldn't want to judge them by how they pulled at a tractor pull. Tractors pulls really prove close to nothing. The very best one can only be judged by the numbers of that model that went 10,000 hours plus, turning out it's rated horse power, without any major repairs and gave good fuel economy at the same time. Never judge any tractor based on one specimen of any model.

If you really want to judge these tractors look at the Nebraska tests. Not so much on how much hp but the differences between flywheel, PTO or belt and drawbar hp. You need to know exactly how much of that flywheel hp is getting to the ground or your PTO shaft. That will tell you exactly how efficient each tractor is. Then take a look at how many of each model are still actively farming, close to 40 years later.
