John, you bring up an interesting point. Automobile engines have undergone the same transformation in the quest for better gas mileage and lower emissions. I assume the same is true with tractor engines. With modern oils, especially the synthetics, wear does not seem to be a major issue. However, I'm an old-timer and in my opinion, I'll always favor a large displacement engine that is never asked to work hard over a small displacement engine that must be revved high to produce any useable power. The larger engine will never encounter the stress the smaller engine will.

My 32 year old tractor engine still runs like new. I wonder how many of these newer, smaller engines will be running 32 years from now!
