A couple of yrs ago I was at the Louisville farm show and was looking at a new NH and I asked the guy what power it was and he quoted a number. I asked engine or PTO and he said engine of coarse don't know what the PTO power is. I'm like who ever heard of a tractor rated on the engine and no PTO rating.I thought it was drawbar and PTO only. I guess it makes for better sales numbers I eventually found someone who said the 5400 is about 70HP engine so I can get an apples to apples comparison.

it's my understanding by doing my own research and comparisons that the 5400 is the same as say a 5410, 5420, 5403(all around 70-75 engine hp). youre tractor falls into the middle of the Ag utilities i would think. thats a pretty good size tractor I would say. its no slouch by any stretch of the immagination thats for sure!
