In Reply to: v8 farm tractors? posted by swindave on December 05, 2020 at 05:21:12:
We farmed with 4 V8 tractors over the years. MF 1800 with the Cat 3160, MF 1150 with Perkins 540, Versatile 950 with 903 Cummins, and the JD 8850. The only tractor to give us any problems was the 8850 and that’s only because we bought it used with over 10,000 hrs. The Versatile 950 was the best tractor we ever had. It would out pull out lug any 855 we had including the 976 Versatile that came after it. The throwaway Cat 3160 in the 1800 never let loose on us the 8 years we had it. And I think that’s because we ran it the proper way. Too many guys pulled back on the throttle because it sound like the engine was going to fly apart and then proceeded to pull the guts out of them. They were a short stroke high rpm engine. It was actually less wear and tear on them if you ran full throttle 2,800 rpms then say 2,400 and lug them.
