The 356's weren't pulling cultivators either. My satement stands. My JD tractor has 20 HP, and I know it's limitations. Granted 100 hp is a LOT in any tractor. Aside from it's collectibility, there are better choices in tractors from the same era. Anybody ever hear of a "Silver King"?
They could hit 45 mph, in that day it was a virtual rocket for a tractor.
