Paxton, IL | This is on an 8.3L. I haven't seen any figures on power or fuel consumption, but my guess would be that it is going to be slightly less fuel efficient but might have a bit more power or lugging ability. Given the fact that this new pump is the same style bosch pump that's been around on tractors for years, you could obviously turn it up for more power if you needed it. I personally think the bosch pumps might have a little better low end grunt when you really get to pulling something. I was, quite frankly, a little disappointed when I first got this tractor as I didn't think it had enough power as it should. Maybe that was also part of a problem with the fuel pump failing and we didn't know it. who knows? I'm pretty anxious to get it out and run it but it will probably be next spring before I know how it's really going to compare. This tractor won't do too much grunt work this fall.
As far as fuel consumption goes, someone else might have to chime in on how it compares in the real world. I only ran the tractor about 40 hours this spring and I wasn't really looking at the fuel economy so I don't really have a base line to compare it to in the future. | |
