Wouldn't chip either personally. Been there done that. Just have to accept you'll have to drop a few gears sometimes.

Good mate of mine says the likes of pre common rail jd 6910 you can up the power with no risk compared to upping the power of an jd r series

Fleets of JD 6150R around here that have been re mapped,alot are near to 200HP,no problems apart from the usual head gaskets..
Is that your mate from down the pub,or is he a JD fitter?

SDF will want another few grand off the owner giving away horsesy powers like that 
Can a 2010 tractor really be called a ' classic ' ?

It's been known some dealers to alter the badges and serial plates of tractors though just to sell something that's been on the books and owing them. Normally that has been selling something that is underpowered to what the bonnet badge says but it could go the other way around to shift it.

I'd say "classic" would have to be 50 years old +, anything younger is still "active" and in constant use.

Did you see the grass men testing all their classics, it was brill ih 1455, 190hp and the magnum nearly broke the dyno, 600 revs and it was still pushing out hell of horsepower.
The best was the Jd though, first test quite low, new fuel filter and 100 hp extra, makes you think.
I will try and find it and post below.
Always change your filters! ( or turn the fuel pump up, looking at it again )

Mate had a ford 5640 from new, turboed maybe a month after buying it, was put on a dyno at 10 or 11000 hrs and was pushing 117 on the shaft, only things he ever had done to it was to replace was a worn out 4wd coupling, and had the fuel injection pump refurbished. Not bad for a 75hp tractor.

In my understanding dyno should be took with a pinch of salt there real use is back to back testing such as we're you try different maps . But to simply but a tractor on for a one off dyno run could be pointless to many variable to get a truely accurate reading of hp.
