It doesn't mater if you had a 5k hp tractor, with the way FS is set up it will not go over the working speed of anything while it's being used, only way it may go faster is downhill. And climbing hills while working in the dirt takes a lot of power, that's why they say have 20%more hp than required, so you can actually pull it up a hill.

It also requires a lot of traction. If you are traction-limited, it doesn’t matter how much power you have available.

The ground effect mod can have an effect here, if you have it installed, though I find mostly with 2wd tractors.
I find the power requirement figures a very poor guide. some thing need much less power than stated and a very few seem to like more. Also the game doesn't add required HP if you run say a beet defoliator and harvester together. you can run that combo with way less HP than the figures suggest. Of course hills have an effect too!
