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...

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]
