I was wondering how the current CUTs or even subCUTs compare with older vintage tractors in torque. For example, an old International 140 or Allis Chalmers CA with 26-27 PTO HP; do they have a lot more torque than a modern CUT with equal HP?
My new tractor is a MF 1523 gear which has 18.7 PTO HP.(Max. torque is 50 ft. lb). Does an old MF 135 (with just a little over twice the PTO HP) only pull a little over twice as much, or will it pull 3 to 4 times as much?(with loaded tires my weight is also half the weight)
It seems that those older tractors with much bigger displacements would have more torque than equally horsepowered smaller tractors today. I just don't have any data as to how much torque those older tractors had. Any info.?
