I expect that a lot of the cost increase is going from simple old style mechanical fuel injection to common rail fuel injection and all the associated sensors and then the dpf and required garbage.Well, a backhoe adds around $9,000 to the price of the 2620. Quite frankly, if adding just 10 horsepower would cost me that much money, with no other notable differences in the overall tractor myself, I would not be inclined to do that. I would feel like I was volunteering to be raped.
I would like the additional Hp and from reading and "utube" videos the 2620 can be turned up that 10 hp quite easily. Doing so brings that engine to the Hp rating before the tier 4 kicked in. Of course doing so will void the warranty but it definitely is in the back of my mind after I do the 50 hour service on her.
