4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder

Advantages of a longer wheel base with the 6 cylinder aside, this is further proof that a modern 4 cylinder is as good as a 6 for performance.

I think the smallest 6 cylinders most tractor manufacturers seem to make is about 150 hp; I wonder if, in not so many years, it will be 200 hp? Especially with ever tightening emission regulations...

Why cut to four; and just go 3 cylinder?

Omg that last 4 vs 6 thread was like a long drawn out torture sequence. May as well have asked what's your favourite colour.

What happened to him by the way?

They are comparing a 4.4 litre 4 cylinder with a 6.6 litre 6.
We have a Kubota 150 HP with a 6.1 litre 4 cylinder. I think that it would stand up well against the Sizu 6 cylinder, especially with torque as it pulls like a train.

And it has a longer wheel base for a 4 cyl. [emoji1303]

There ain't no replacement for displacement.

There's no substitute for cubes.

The Bentley speed six was 6.5 litres and one of the most successful racing cars of the time.

A few decades later there are 3 cylinder engines of 1.2 litres that produce more torque and power than the Bentley 145 hp.

Go figure.

You haven't read the article, have you?

And I'll take the Bentley any day!

Exactly and I would also take a 6 cylinder or even a V8 over a tiny 4 cylinder, it's the difference between an Impreza sounding like a blow fly and a Mustang with a stonking V8
