Well, yes and no. Technically, the 9760 is not as large as the 8010. But, you can buy a chip for the John Deere to make it put out more power. A neighbor of ours recently traded two 9750's on two 9660's. They then bought chips that boost the HP to something close to what the 9860 is running. I think the only difference in any of these machines is the engine HP. So, it's probably possible to make the 9760 keep up with an 8010.
