Lets look at the weight besides the horspower the new ones are all a lot lighter than the old ones and in tractors that is what gears are for they used to ballast a model H up to the weight of a M and really work them and yes abuse them also..But all the gears were much wider and heavier built so you could really work them 30 horse power tractors used to weigh 4000 lbs not 2000 lbs like now..Without the weight no traction ,no matter how many wheel drive you have. But boy Dif. lock is nice when you need it..
