I wonder why has it taken this long for 5 cyl engines to be utilized in farm tractors. It has to be more to this than chassis length or balancer shafts.

| SAME/Lamborghini/Hurlimann used them in thier tractors, really sweet running. The John Deere lump is much more efficient at making noise!

| Thanks for the replies. One thing that started me to thinking about 5 cyl engines was that back a few months I sold an orange tractor that had a 5 cyl engine. It wasn't that fuel efficient nor was it that powerful.

| Kubota used a 5 cylinder engine in the L4850/L5450 tractors in the '90's.
Nice running, smooth engines. Power was OK, never heard any complaints, but I never heard about economy. They must have had a changing of the guard at engineering, because the replacement series used turbo 4's. Maybe just emissions though. Never did any major work to those 5 cylinder engines. They had a neat sound.
