hp is hp but if you have to operate it reved up all the time many people interpret that as the engine working harder whereas an older diesel that loafs is sometimes felt to be not working hard. The torque in a tractor with good gearing isn't terribly important, if you only have 8 spds or something it becomes important because you won't be able to pick the exact gear you need. Torque rise /how good the injection pump can kick it up for momentary loads can make a big difference in how and engine feels too. A big old heavy slow spining engine has a little more time per cycle for the governor to respond and bump the juice for intermittant loads. So why don't you try out the machine before you buy it? It is just nearby!
