I think a little more testing should be done. For example do you have something like a large tree? I would set the RPM to something like 2000 (or higher) and try to push the tree (not ram it) and pay attention to how far you move the pedal. Do it in both low and medium. What does the engine do? Does it spin the tires in low or look like it's close? This is a test that can be performed by others with a similar size tractor. Trying to start off on a hill is much more subjective and hard to duplicate.
My Kubota will bog down some if I try to go up a hill too fast in M. If yours isn't than it does sound like it could be a problem.
As for old farmers and what they would think, I don't get that. A comparable model would be a Ford 8N. Are you saying that a farmer who was using an 8N to farm would think a 3901 couldn't do the same tasks?
