A tractor is basically designed for a given horse power with a margin. Everybody wants more power and easiest way is to add a turbo charger. If it was used just to increase fuel economy and maybe lower exhaust temp a bit, add on turbos are great. How many use them that way though. Always had a lot more service problems with add on jobs than the factory installations. Didn't matter if I put them on or other shops, just more problems. Cooling systems, oiling systems, air cleaners and then the power train. Just more problems. I am not afraid of turbos but I am not a fan of add on's. One great example is the engine in a IH 986 or 186 Hydrostatic drive. They put in a 436 and left the horse power basically the same as the naturally aspirated 414 was in the 966 to improve the fuel economy. Putting a turbo on that engine gives you a lot of room for added power but the power train on both gear drive and hydrostatic don't like it much.
