CNKS: I realize what you are saying on conserative ratings for letter series Farmalls. I should point out my 130 has 12.4x24 rear tires and 3rd gear is close to 6 mph. Indeed on that day my friend advised he was only going 6 mph with the 2350. This is what alarmed me, into thinking I had just wasted $1,500. After getting my 7' hoe home, much to my surprise I had no problems pulling it. And yes I would like a bit more speed, but you can see where I'm at. My thoughts are sales literature on these newer tractors never say Nebraska or official test, nor do they say drawbar or pto hp. My question is, are they selling tractors today based on manufacturers estimated flywheel hp? Do Nebraska tests still even exist? Years ago when specing out a tractor I wanted all three flywheel, pto and drawbar hp. The difference between flywheel and other two gave you good indication on tractor efficiency. I was not an easy guy to sell a tractor to. These birds selling tractors today wouldn't stand a chance. In fact my opinion sales guys today, be it tractors, cars or trucks do little more than insult you. I once asked a GM dealer to quote me a price for 3 different cars, all with same options. All they could do was pull cards for cars they had on lot. None were equiped exactly same. In frustration the sales manager came out and suggested maybe I couldn't afford the Park Avenue. I quite quickly advised him I didn't come for a lecture on what I could or could not afford. I quite simply wanted to know value I would be getting for money. He did not sell me an automobile, nor will I ever go back for anything.
