Looking for a 4WD tractor for FEL, driveway grading, and snowblowing (72inch width, rear mount) at 9000 ft. elevation. I read once that the power loss is about 3% per 1000 ft. above sea level. If that is true, a 40 hp unit would run like 28 hp. Does this sound anywhere near correct?
How many HP should I be shooting for at this elevation? Not looking to skimp, but also not wanting to go so large that maneuverability becomes an issue...
