Did I say I was "proud" of my 3414? Give me a break. Why are you inserting animosity into this? Did I state anything that is not based on fact? There are many tractors the size of the B414 or 3414 with less power and many with more power. And so what? As I said, ample power is often just a "relative" thing.
As far as the 3414 goes, it is what it is. A well built, 40 year-old small utilty-sized tractor that weighs around 3800 lbs. and has 36 PTO horsepower. You see that as a problem, and I don't.
In many cases weight can be an asset. Especially in a loader/hoe. The weight to horsepower ratio is not an issue for many uses, unless you want to climb steep hills at 30 MPH.
As to the need for more engine? I've got a Case with a 207 and a Ford with a 172, and I wish they both had smaller engines. They are industrial machines, and both suck a lot more fuel then they need to when used as backhoes (which is all I use them for). If I was doing heavy PTO work, I'd likely feel differently. Any big engine spending most of it's time only making a 1/4 of it's rated power is fuel hog.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
