What did he have a 4568 for if all he was farming was 500 acres? He must have had an engine problem if he didn't have any low end torque. Once in the while ours would end up on the "little" disk (24' 496) we'd gear it up and run it at idle, no problems with pulling but it was just a little slow with the hydraulics running it that way. Came close to beating the 1466 on fuel economy pulling the same equipment. Our biggest problem was the starter, it was replaced once a year for three years straight (about $700 a crack back in the early 80s), then it ran 5 years without a hitch.

Our local dealer also farmed quite a bit with his family and they ran a 4366. One of his sons claimed it was turned up past 220hp. They ran it that way for about 8 years before it was traded out of the country.
