Yes, that D is built for pulling. The engine is overhauled with custom high compression pistons that boost the compression ratio up from 3.9:1 up to about 6.5:1. You can see it has wheelie bars and a custom pulling hitch. It's very strong.
It's fun to watch the original stock tractors pulling. Those 2 cylinders, John Deeres sure had the torque. The 730 diesel had a displacement of 470 cubic inches (7.7L) with working RPM of 1125. Plus, being transverse mounted, they don't lose 15% of their power like all the inline machines. Plus, it keeps the gearbox simple.
It was just for fun. Use your imagination. Besides, it works be meaningless to compare to other tractors on a different track because weight, transfer speed, and grind conditions vary so much.
Fun watching the old iron trying their best. The first D made it look easy.
