True.
Another reason for the larger tractors is the fact that the gear is larger, heavier, and a good deal more demanding. Anyone that thinks an 8n can do the raking these days, with a modern rake, needs to try it and then tell me the story of how it went. I made a small mistake with a new rake I bought this year. I got a mounted 14' Kuhn, and then found out that my faithful old 4000 couldn't quite lift the darn thing. The old doll just didn't have the lift capacity. So, the 3930 got the job of raking, and that was dicey without weight. So, the rake did spend a day on the 7710 on the bad hills. And yes, it went like he!l all day. The flip side is that it covered a lot of ground, and made it possible to cover a lot of ground with the baler at the same time. That wasn't possible with the smaller old rake........ So yes, you need the larger modern tractors for these jobs....
Although, I did like the 3930 for the job myself. The odd hop and jump added some excitement to a boring day, and power wise it was fine.
