CJ, Jim, Engines are gonna make a certain amount of power. It can be an engine thats fresh and new and got the latest puller tricks, or it can be an engine thats just got the plain jane rebuild kit. They are going to make a certain amount of power and torque.
If you have "freshened up" your engines, runs good, makes decent power, but your stalling the engine, your gonna spend alot of money on it, and do alot of complaining that something didnt work, snake oils, etc etc, and thats something you and we all hate.
You dont need more power. You need to know more about the tractor, and its adjustements to aide in assiting the actual balance, or weight transfer, the actual important chassis componets that transfers the engines power thru the transmission, thru the final drives, to the tires, is where most spend alot of money on. In fact, its from that point on is where you need to look at,,, there is more to it that whats under the hood.
See, there is a engine, then there is a chassis. A chassis is a long list of complicated specifications,, taken only from years of experience to obtain. So, here comes the "Club Rule Book" . A series of what you can do, what you cant do.
Safety equipment, weight bar distance specs, and also, you will see Hitch specs in the common standard pulling rule book.
X amount of HP will pull. It can be 20 hp it can be 30 hp, it can be 40 hp, so on and so on. Knowing the limits of the engines power and weight can be adjustable, and the adjustments are not found in the engine books. History can show you, survivors can tell the tales, winners are proud, second place sucks, and who ya gonna call when you have spent all the money in the world, and you have a fire breathing dragon, but only goes 50 feet and spins out. There are two spans of the pulling spectrum, the ones who want the biggest and the baddest engines, and the ones who want their tractors to pull better with what they have already.
A 25 hp H can pull just fine, and outpull other 25 hp H's that are there, sometimes, they outpull their 30 and 40 and sometimes 50 hp mutant conversions of a H, if, a little thought is put into the chassis, instead of the cubic dollar.
With that said, CJ, if you have your hitch set to rule book specs, and your powering out, the problem is not in your engine.
Its in your hitch. You are overloading the engine by the amount of "Hook" or bite" the hitch specs give your chassis takes alot of cubic dollars to pull competitvely if thats the path you choose to take,,,,,,,,
If you have the hitch at the 18/20 guidelines,,, and your powering out,,,,,,, I would like for you to raise your hand.
Now, the ones who got the power and spin 10 feet behind the leaders,,,, (top 5) raise your hand,,,,,,
I just rasied my hand to the second one. I got the power, but scratchin for traction,,,, so you see, your on one end of the scale, by having too much bite, not enough power, where im too much power, no bite.
So, back to basics,,,, my question for you, is where do you start and go from here. All the dyno time in the world wont help. All the cubic dollars are spent, and here we both are,, in the Farmall Forum. ChadS
