Steve: Thanks for jogging my memory from so many years ago. I now have a question. Years ago we always got dual listing for a particular tractor giving both drawbar and pto or belt hp. Today and for the past 20 years you don't see this anymore. In fact your lucky if you have one figure after asking a dealer. Are they in most cases just giving flywheel hp of the engine? On numerous ocasions I have asked sales people to specify whether figure they were quoting was flywheel, pto or drawbar. In most cases if the sales guy is under 35 years of age they don't know what your talking about. Are Nebraska tests indeed still being done? One reason I ask these questions, is a friend and I bought a new 15' rotary hoe from John Deere dealer. As you probably know those are made up on a 4"x4" tool bar with 2 - 3.5' sections and 2 - 4' sections. We wanted to make two hoes for our smaller tractors so we cut the tool bar at the 7-8 foot mark. He took the 3 point equipment for using his 8' hoe behind his 2350 JD In his shop we made up a single point hitch on the 7'for use behind my Farmall 130. At the end of the day I loaded up my 7' hoe and he hitch up his 2350 to the 8'. He headed up a field to see this work, I watched, at soft spot with a bit more incline, the 2350 started to emit black smoke. At the time the 2350 was not that old plus was in the posession of a guy that would do meticulous maintainence. As I drove home that evening, I thought now I've gone and wasted some money on something I cant pull with my 130. To my surprise the 130 has pulled this 7' rotary hoe up hill and down, in 3 gear. Since that I have used the SA with same results. This was 15 years ago so I picked up a 2350 sales info and they only list one hp. I have forgotten exactly how much but 43 hp rings a bell. Now if these guys are using flywheel hp today, that explaines the little difference between JD 2350 and Farmall 130 I'm not saying the 130 has as much hp as the 2350 but they are a lot closer than I expected. Are indeed new tractors being listed on flywheel hp?
