We have a 5065E, and it's a pig on the road in high gear. An extra 8 hp would be helpful. At the least, test drive both and see how much difference there is. You may not drive it on the road of tow loads on the road, so it may not be a big issue for you.

No, I think that it has to do with a very heavy cabbed tractor, with a loader, loaded tires, and double rear wheel weights being motivated by a 3 cylinder diesel.
