Back in 1988 I bought a new CaseIH 1896 mfwd tractor 90 hp with a 5.9 cummins.It replaced a 1066 and a 766 IH,pulled the same equipment with a lot less fuel.I don"t have the fuel numbers but it was a big difference for 1066. The 1896 had a computer in it that you could read the wheel slippage. the tractor had loaded rear tires with clamp on duals 18.4 x38 In 2wd pulling our 20ft white disc the slippage would be 30 to 35 %.In 4wd it would drop back down to 5-7% which I was told is where the ideal slippage should be for that tractor. No salesman said this or that. This is what was on the screen in front of me. As far as Hp I am not sure about the exact hp needed but the 1896 would pull the same equipment as the 1066 at 125hp the same speed in the field. I know this because we tried the new tractor first in the same field and same equipment before we bought it.
