Hi, MyOlD2.
Anything that you might be able to buy of 'similar size' (????????????????) to a D2 that is currently in manufacture is HIGHLY likely to have anything up to 2 - 3 times the horsepower but maybe not a lot more pulling power nor a similar ability to put its grunt on the ground. I have heard several accounts of D2's pulling 100-hp 2wd tractors kicking and bouncing backwards across the yard. Could there be a message in there somewhere?

At least one curious mind would like to know.

Also, if you decide to look at an East Wind, DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Have you considered a D3? Looks like they weigh in around 17k pounds. You could probably skinny them up by dropping the blade and cab/ROPS. I think most D2s are around 50 HP while the modern D3 is 80HP. They are handy.

Hi, Jdkoller.
Maybe I have missed something along the way, but it is my understanding that the D2's finished at 38 horsepower. With today's 'technology', it is possible to get a LOT more HP outa the same cubes, or even less, as the old D2 donks.

Just my 0.02.

I think......
The "J" series peaked out at 25Hp.
The earlier "U" series averaged 38Hp.
BUT!
I think I've seen printed somewhere the latest "U" series was close to 50Hp.

Des has nailed it again,friend replaced a IH TD6 with a New Holland(Fiat) crawler rated at 85 horse power.Puling the same disc in his dry land vineyard he was spinning and having to close the disc in the steep places just like always just spinning much faster than before.
Landini also makes a tractor in that class.What I see is New Holland ,Landini ,and Same in that order in the local vineyards. The NH seem to be the toughest of the bunch and more of them than all the others.

I agree with the comment regarding Eastwind - they are a nightmare with tracks falling off and critical components failing very early on in their life - lots of web posts confirming this.

It is a classic example of you get what you pay for and there are usually lots of them for sale in various trading posts, for a reason😊

This was an interesting question to me---------with some of the comments; it made me go back up to Bruce Oz's post of the Nebraska Tests (sticky post) and look up the last test on the little D2.

The last Nebraska Test I found on the D2 was in January 1955---------sorry about the quality of my pictures (page is cut in half----stacked-----put the two arrows together)--------but this is what I found (listed under test #553---------1/1/55; the D2 was discontinued in 1957 and I didn't find a later test).

Interesting that the D2 tested (see photo) weighed in at 8536 lbs with a 180---200 lb operator. Rated at sea level @ 38.75 drawbar hp and 45.45 belt hp.

Wonder where that serial number tractor is today (#5U15427)----------anybody here claim it???

Sorry, I was referring to the U series. Those last 5 or so years of production were right around 50 HP. I have two 1952 U series and I recall reading about them being 48 HP. Sound right?

Are you looking to put a blade on something or just pull? I'm not sure the D3 comes with rear hydraulics but I bet it's an easy change.
