[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1390919, member: 21289"] Hp ratings on today's tractors are usually engine hp.A 4707 is actually 58 hp at the PTO from a 3.3L 3cyl.A closer comparison would be with the JD 5075 at 57 PTO hp out of a 179cu(2.9l) in 3 cylinder.The 5085 uses a 276 ci 4 cylinder to get 70hp. The four cylinder will run quieter(I think) and( maybe have more torque reserve???).Dealer could tell you. The 276 has been around for a long time.At least since 1976.The 179 longer.Don't know anything about the 3.3 Massey but the dealer is much closer and has been good to work with you already and that is a big thing,too. Any of them should have enough power to do the utility jobs you describe.For what you are doing now,they should be great.You are wise in thinking about the weight factor.Not only is traction improved but,more importantly,stability is also.I don't like front ends coming up,either.
