You'll find with many of the newer tractors (post-hundred series) that the four-cylinder engines are rated for higher horsepower in smaller chassis. Our 2500A is a 200 cubic in. engine rated at around 53 hp. Our W6 has a 248 cubic in. engine and is rated at 37 hp. A W9 is rated at 50 hp. I can honestly say that the W6 would kick the 2500's rear in every pulling category. (The W9 would trump both of them) While the 2500 has more horsepower, it probably has half the torque of the W6 mill, and could get away with it because of the gear reduction systems being used to magnify the tractor's torque. Horsepower doesn't pull anything, it is torque that actually gets it done. The later engines do have wider powerbands, and work great for non-pulling tasks (raking, conditioning, loader work, etc.)due to the extra features (TA, live hydraulics,disc brakes) and were a lot smoother running than their forebearers. Whether the last one is important in a farm tractor is debatable though. The 504 is a great tractor for small tasks and such. If you want it, go ahead and get it. Sorry for the long post.
