Posted by KYfarm on July 13, 2006 at 08:00:40 from (205.188.117.14):
I recently did some internet research on what I would like to someday buy, a new 90 or 95HP cab tractor, even though I seriously dought I ever will be able to and I noticed the following. New Holland, Massey and Deere all have a 90 PTO HP machine with a 4 cylinder turbos at approx. 270 cubic inches. The 95 PTO HP machines all go to 6 cylinder turbo's from 366 to 414 inches. Here is my question. Would you get better fuel efficiency from a smaller block turned up to its max with boost or a larger block delivering its mimimum with turbo boost. Even though I will never be able to buy one of these new, I certainly hope one day to trade-in by JD 2950 on a tractor made in the last few years, so I'm just wondering about the efficiency.
I certainly figure that the 6 cyl. would last longer than a 4 cyl.with max. boost but is there any truth to that? Just wondering. Thanks.
