Although the engines in these two tractors are quite a bit different in size, the smaller TN75A engine is very close to the torque of the much larger M9000. HP on the Kubota is quite a bit higher though. I'm trying to convince a friend of mine, at least for a second, to consider the TN75A in his tractor shopping as he might save some money.
I see the Kubota has 4 cyl. instead of 3 like the NH. So does the horsepower really matter that much is the torque is almost the same? Wouldn't it be the torque at the PTO that counts instead of the HP? What is the advantage of HP here in this case? Here's the numbers:
New Holland TN75A
Torque Rise: 38.6
Cu. In.: 179
Max Torque: 202.2 lb.ft @ 1392rpm
RPM rating: 2300
PTO HP: 62
Kubota M9000
Torque Rise: 31.9
Cu. In.: 202
Max Torque: 209.8 lb. ft. @ 1500 rpm
RPM rating: 2600
PTO HP: 80
