Before you go blowing a few wads of cash on the wrong stuff (TM), do a forum search for 'turbo'.

Then do a search for 'turbo' on youtube.

Good luck. :)

Yea tractors are so expensive these days that its just cheaper to add turbo's to the smaller ones or tune them up rather than investing more capital in larger tractors.

We farm around 1200acres over a few farms here in the UK and hire a tractor each year to do our heavier work like cultivating. This year we had a Fendt 919 -330hp (an absolute friggin beast) worlds best tractor in my opinion, joystick controlled with electronic everything, much different to john deere's even new ones where your still much more manual.

We also had on hire a JD 8920 300hp and a Claas (CAT) Challanger 260hp with tracks :icon_twisted:

Article I read in a magazine that might help ya with proper sizing, it's a pretty straight forward calculation:
