Interesting Info...

I agree, but as you know, most of us here in the states are not all that technically inclined to understand the value of torque ratings! For most of our lives, we've judged automobiles based on HP, so tractor makers use that to their advantage in my opinion and use HP ratings instead of a more realistic torque graphing of RPM range.

I agree.
Being somewhat of a "gearhead", I would like that kind of info. LOL

Yeah, torque charts are almost mandatory on larger tractors as farmers want to see where the power occcurs, but on smaller tractors is seems like an after thought...I too would like to see torque numbers instead of just hp numbers...and not just numbers but charts.

My Farmtrac 270DTC has an 85 CID engine. The 320DTC comes with a 100.5 CID engine. The literature I have looked at lists the CK30 as having 91.5 CID Takes a little better than 3 cubic inches to make 1 horse with all three engines.
