I've got a pretty good comparison. We have a 2 wd IH5288 set to around 180 bhp, loaded tires, weights giving approx 18,500 lbs. We also have a 4wd IH 4166 at approx 170 bhp and with a similar gross weight. The 5288 with duals has a bunch more power than you can get hooked up, but not so with the 4166. Although the extra drive train drains power that could be used, we can still pull implements with it which will just result in tire spin with the 2wd. It would be nice to switch the engines, but this may lead to breaking something too expensive to fix!
