No, most 130 / 150 HP, but we have an 85 HP Kubota that my daughter uses for trimming and on a sawdust dispenser for the cubicles. To be honest we used it this summer on the 6 row tedder, rake, and silage trailer. Obviously you have to use the gearbox with a 12 ton trailer, but it is perfectly adequate, comfortable and A/C, and hardly used a squirt of diesel. Just get's you thinking how the dealers always tell you to increase HP every time you change. We have tractors locally with 260 HP on hedgecutters!All your tractors under 100Hp?
My father and uncle used to farm the place with grey fergies, OK with a bit more staff but not really that many.
I really think that there is a place for a comfortable lowish HP tractor for many jobs, as obviously a lot of the time blokes insist on using 'their' tractor on the tedder / hedgecutter even if its 250HP.
