    It's a basic thing, not science. RPM depend what is connected to the driveshaft. Heck, even a little 13 horse Honda could achieve a speed of 60 MPH if it was going down a steep hill, a very steep hill. :)

    I kind of took the wind out of BWS sales for hiboys when I ordered 40 of them. They put out a trailer a day on the special orders to fit Tri Drive tractors legally. :)

    Yup, he said he knew you haha. Just a regular t800 for now with a couple added features i wanted. Gets me out of the rental internationals we have so I'm happy, I hope I never set foot in a max force tractor again. So it looks like ill be back forth to Edmonton a couple more times so hopefully I can stop in sometime.

    My question was meant as same hp/torque for both motors & obviously trans, which you have clarified being a 18 spd. Maybe I missed where you noted that other than 485 for the Cummins. I know initially the Paccars rolled out on the lower end of hp & torque vs the standard.

    Now IHC announced this past quarter that they lost $286 MILLION and attributed the loss to the BarnYard Corvette Motor Warranty costs.

    I sat in the new T880 the other day. I felt lost in it, their is a noticeable size difference from the t800. The product information specialist ( sales rep ) was telling me that 30% of the Kenworth trucks have the MX engines in them.
