Do they still make it? I see that online but it looks quite old. Also yea the 8n is very good on fuel so who know

I suspect with a different transmission? Although they seem pretty solid

We were mainly using it to haul trailers.... trailers of transplants from greenhouse to greenhouse or to the field to plant, lots of light trailers. Very good for that, this is my first time using it for a pto thing. Tried a tiller but was way to fast driving. Fantastic for hauling trailers...

What's funny too is the 8n has an oversized rad so it dosen't get remotely hot...

Same with the offset farmall cubs... I wish they had a modern version

So on my farm I use an irrigation reel a fair bit, it's efficient and easy to move. Biggest problem is most of the farm is on a high hill and the water source is down at the bottom. No trouble to push it up there but it's really hard to get that 100-125PSI I want for the gun on the reel. So a...

Further details, it ran a frost night recently which is 2 pumps both running easy on the same main line. Protecting about 15 acres of strawberries. Usually is more but it's a different configuration this year. Even if it's only a light frost and either pump could do it I put both on so if one...

Sofar it looks like yes it's an improvement in fuel efficiency. I guess part of pulling a slight vaccume on the case is it helps rings seal better and this better efficiency.

First strawberry frost night when it's running under heavy load all night I'll know. I expect to see efficiency gains in high load not as much low. Not much boost at like.... 1600RPM. My EGR is running the vent tube into the intake line... sealed with JB weld. Works perfectly

That's the funny part... it glowed before the turbo but not now. Previous owner probably cranked up the fuel so now with a turbo it's correct. I don't want super high EGT because this likley doesn't have piston cooling jets. Very successful build. Perkins are beasts anyways

No that's well below danger. It's not but it's ran many hours before this so I'll definitely be able to tell when I get using it more. Always scares me when my experiments work that well

Too early in the season to tell. I'll know once we start watering more. I suspect it will get most gains at higher load

Last winter I turbo charged my perkins 6354.4... Basically because google told me incorrectly that by it's serial number that it had a turbo from factory. Once I realized that I just got a few extra guages to make sure I don't cook anything. There aren't a ton of differences between the 2...

Btw turns out my exhaust pipe is too restricted, too small. Leave the end of the turbo strait open and it screams. I need a bigger exhaust pipe because obviously I have back pressure issues

I know the Irving nearby has diesel but no DEF, I have never seen a DEF pump in NS Canada it would be interesting if theres any near me

True although I have never seen a DEF pump around here anywhere

That's some crazy RPM, I'm going to take off the outlet pipe for a test to see if the turbo is too big and can't spool to the efficiency zone. Also need to find a way to fix the couple leaks. Hardest part is finding the source, the engines cooling fan moves so much air I can't feel a little...

So improved air quality.... well that's good but that can be done with just a well tuned modern diesel without fancy stuff correct? Even just a high pressure rail.... Seems that we really don't know if it's helpful to the environment as a whole or just makes us feel better

They weren't high before, but now they are what I would call cool. Why would this happen? Great side effect though. Now I just wish I had more boost.... I have a few very small exhaust leaks pre-turbo... can't imagine that doing much because they are so small you can't feel them just see them...

Lets avoid any politics but I am genuinely curious if any emissions systems are actually better for the environment. Some seem maybe and some I can't see how.... I am genuinely curious of this. For example my forklift is just an expensive fuel filter and otherwise nothing weird to cause...
