For those of you that have put the Ekotune or Steinbauer programming in/on, what have you noticed in fuel consumption during avg operation?
We had 3 tractors and 2 combines done by Ekotune and zero problems on any of them.
The combine got 100HP(Case 8120 running a 12 row Geringhoff rotodisc) would run about ten hours on a tank of fuel and be hard pressed to run 5.5mph without running on edge of max power. Now after tuning its running 14+hours and can push it over 7mph and still have tons of power to unload on the go. Normally sit at 5.5mph which would account for the fuel savings as I'm not working the snot out of it anymore. Fuel savings paid for the tune in under a week.
The Case 305 got 80HP and its same way.
Other equipment I don't run much but expect its the same.
The selling point was they brought out a dyno so it was easy to see that it was actually working. |
When is it better to trade up a size verses chip a tractor?
