That's what i expected. The 2000 falls into the 'little sister' class for HP. Even if they were the same hp, for arguments sake.. say due to the engine in the N being worn out, both tractors hitched to a large load, etc.. the N with 1100 to 1200 more pounds of weight will be pulling that load while the 2000 spins... also that weight adds safety, as I mentioned earlier, to keep towed loads from 'wagging' the dog. All the hp in the world won't help you, if you don't have weight to make use of it... thats the whole concept of traction.
To those 2000 owners.. don't get me wrong.. I love yanmars as well.. and my 1700... Not starting a color war here..We just have to be straight up when doing comparisons though... blanket claims that "A 2000 is better and has more pto HP" is just plain incorrect... you can look it up in the book proverbally. The data is available... It's clear.. the engine hp on the 2000 isn't even the pto hp on the N.. and is only .3 more than the drawbar Hp...
Hope that brings it into perspective. In reality... a larger yanmar needs to be used for comparison.. 2300?

The YM2000 is 20 pto hp (or 24 engine hp American measure).
I'm still learning about the YM240 (US version YM2000) that I recently bought, and I don't see how it really could be the equal of an 8N. It seems to me the 8N would be equivalent to a Yanmar one or two steps larger than the YM2000.
