Most of the land in New Hampshire is a 15% grade away from any river flat. That's 1.5 feet of drop in 10 linear feet if you extended a tape measure straight out. The high HP is to compensate for operating on the hillsides. More power needed to go up the hill versus working on level land and tractor weight to hold the load it is pulling. Most wagon gears are 9 X 18 and the temptation will be there to max out the capacity. 14 X 18 X 42 bale with a good grass/legume mix will make that bale weigh 60 pounds or more. I've got an 88 and would not want to go down hill with it with manual brakes being pushed by a 1.5 ton baler plus 3,4, or more tons of hay plus wagon if that hill has much more than a 10 percent grade. On the flat a person can make a lot of things work in terms of power. At home I can make a M work on the baler as any hills are very gradual but on the other farm the hills can be over 20 percent grade in spots so the JD 4010 would go on the baler there.

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
