In recent years, tractor manufacturers have greatly increased the horsepower offering in their four-cylinder ranges. But the big question farmers and contractors still ask is whether there is a replacement for displacement.
In the Irish Farmers Journal, we decided to put two of the most popular four- and six-cylinder tractor offerings on today's market - the MF 6718 S and the 7718 S - head to head at the same tasks earlier this summer.
Aside from the number of cylinders in each engine, these two tractors have other differences such as wheelbases and their unladen weights. But how will they perform head to head?

The tractors were tested on two Fusion 3 plus combination balers, Herron silage trailers and two trailed Kverneland mowers, along with both being subject to a dynometer test.
Be sure to pick up a copy of next week’s Irish Farmers Journal for an in-depth report on how the test fared out.
