What effect does power have on how you can use a tractor?
Take the CK25 and CK30 for instance. Both are the same size and weight and take the same FEL and same size of other implements as well. The lift capacity of the 3PH is the same. Yet, one has 20% more horsepower than the other.
How will the lower power of the CK25 manifest itself? Will the FEL lift more slowly despite the same capacity pump? Will you need to be in a lower gear to pull a similar implement and therefore move more slowly? Will a snow blower throw the snow less distance, or will you just need to move more slowly through the snow?
Does it really make much difference? Are there circumstances where it really does not matter and others where it could be critical?
Thanks for your thoughts.
