ND | I've never really noticed any difference in the power needed to pull. When I did some work for a guy a few years ago I was pulling a 33 foot concord with a TBH tank, using a Cat 65. I know the engine was rated around 280 HP. Our drill is the exact same 33 foot unit, except it has a TBT tank and we pull it with a Steiger that is around the same HP, maybe alittle more. I don't think either drill took any more horsepower than the other, but I guess to be completely fair one should use the same tractor.
One other thing I thought of after I made my last post was that a TBT tank allows the tractor to carry alot of the weight of the cart. Some people might not like it because it seems like it puts alot of tongue weight on the draw bar. The up side of it is that the weight helps give the tractor quite a bit extra traction if you are lacking. | |
