My father was laughing at us becuase my brother and I would pull a different tractor out or the shed to haul each load this fall when we chopped corn silage. 3 of the 8 or so tractors we used where a Farmall M (w/ M&W pistons), John Deere G (44 hp on dyno), and a Oliver 88 Diesl (50 hp on dyno). All had 14.9x38 firestone field and roads. We were hauling 18 foot, four beater, fully loaded tandem axel boxes. HEAVY (I know prabably not safe with the tractors we were using but we wanted to work them a little.) Score card Farmall M - fourth gear only, not even in the running Oliver 88 diesel- Slightly slower road gear than JD's. had enough oomph to hold high gear but barely. lots of smoke. And the winner is: JD G - Held high gear and had a lot more breath left than the Oliver. It may not have as much HP on the dyno but it's got more lug, even against the diesel. Next year JD 80 vs. JD 4020, both w/ 4-16's
