That's not odd. It's a simple engineering/scientific principle that more power = more heat. As said by comments from others, When CLAAS/Deere engines (and others) are mapped often the EGR is blanked and removed from the map, stopping hot dirty air being used in the engine. We have a few CLAAS and deeres also that we have mapped and as you say yes they do run cooler; due to the EGR blanking.

Clutches will be different in the 135 to the 110. Put a bigger tractor on that tanker. Poor machine

Please explain then as I done my apprenticeship on mxs and have yet to see different clutches in a 110 to a 135

Some of you clearly do not know these tractors very well:-
Clutch packs are the same in the 110 and 135.
The reason the 135 had diff problems is because case (like on the 5100 series and McCormick later inherited same problem) put the wrong ratio'D tyres on in the factory giving wind up, hence why they are "known for it". 135s with 20.8s - steer clear.
As for road work - there was a mod done done to earlier gearboxes that was updated to stop shaft wobble at high speed by adding an extra bearing (on the fwd shaft I think). Most had this mod done and this was a cause of failure on road work.
I've had experience. With a fleet of 110s all screwed anywhere between 150 and 190 (dyno proven) and you shouldn't have too much to worry about if you want some more poke. Just keep on top of servicing and you'll be fine.
20,000 hours of ploughing, power harrowing (6m), buckraking. hauling with 18T trailers and 3000gal tankers at 190hp with only a handful of issues cannot be wrong!!
Easily one of the most reliable tractors available - and when they do go wrong, they're relatively cheap to and easy to fix!
As for remap stud - you mean max fuel screw. Cannot remap a mechanical engine!
That's my two penny worth!

It's not all down to tyres though if you're as experienced as you try and make out to be then you probably have been inside 110 and 170 there is one major difference between the two as in where the pinion shaft contacts the crown wheel that is the biggest fault
