I'm in the middle of repowering my Cherubini with a single 4045 tier 2. The tier 2 engines could be set at 107, 121, or 135 HP. This is a reprogramming of the computer, nothing more . Mine will be set at 107 HP which is the M1 rating, full power 24 hours per day continuous. My cruise will likely be at 1/3 power.

Looking at the JD website, the tier 3 series 4045TFM85 is M 1 at 100 HP and M 2 at 125 HP. M2 is 16 hours out of 24 with a 3K to 5K annual hours usage. Again most likely, changing from one to the other is only a matter of reprogramming the computer.
