No, The B3350 is the highest HP model.

There is also only 3 L's that are in the 50 or greater HP range.

Why would you want a 50HP B?

Going to take a shot and say the reason no B has 50 horses is it would be a waste. The tractor would not have a enough weight to maximize the horses it would have.

My L4600 with 46 horses on it's frame often needs weight for me to use it to it's capability.

I may be way off but just my thought on the question and why no B size tractor has 50 horses.

I have never said I wish my B3300 had more HP. Even with the BH on the tractor and the bucket full of dirt, in 4X4 low range the tractor will spin all 4 until it just digs itself into the ground if whatever I'm trying to pull or push won't give way.

Only thing I could see would be for more PTO power but even then, any implements that require more than the rated 27 PTO HP (according to the owner's manual), would really need a larger frame tractor anyway.

But this is just my worthless opinion, YMV.

I have a pto driven wood chipper. To take full advantage of it's capability, it requires about 35hp at the Pto. I don't need a larger sized tractor for my needs, but more hp at the pto would be very nice.
