I want 1700 engine rpm, not 3400 engine rpm. It isn't practical to run a 6.0 (or 6.6) at 4500-5000rpm to attain maximum power. In practice a gas will not perform along side a diesel unless it's a large displacement engine that sucks fuel. In that case though HP and torque are comparable. Ask anyone that has driven both a 6.0 gas(GM) and a LBZ Duramax which one tows better, faster, less slowing down, and performs more reliably and the Duramax will win everytime. There is no comparsion, despite B&D saying that a 365hp gas will outperform a 305hp diesel. Let me lay out another scanario in which there is no room for denial. A 1994-1998 Cummins 6bt when in a Dodge Ram 2500/3500 made a maximum of 215 HP (rpm doesn't matter) A Chevy Vortec 305 makes a maximum of 220hp at a much higher RPM. Assuming they're each geared to work at peak rpm, a 5.9 will walk all over that 305. In every scenario you can put it in that fits into the purpose of a truck, the 305 won't perform and will die trying.

Today's Featured Article - Oliver 550 Purchaser Checklist - by Greg Sheppard. Pound for pound the 550 is better than anything I've seen. It has great power for its size and can really hunker down and lug. Classified as a 3-bottom plow depending on soil conditions. I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
