I was lucky to experience a Tractor Dyno this week! The heat from the engine was immense!.. at least to someone who isn’t used to it.
The owner had said that the “unit wasn’t preforming” so they had lent him a 2021 model while they looked into the 2019 model, after some fuel tests, transmission inspection and what I would say a carrier bag of dirt was removed from the air box and filter (for information the garage installed a new air filter when returning the unit to the owner) then they completed a Dyno run on this engine which was pretty amazing to see. 302hp at the drive shafts and 1613lbs of Torques at 1800rpm! Which concludes the engine is preforming above the average being 290hp & 1590lbs of Torque.
Your question: why was I there?….
I was subcontracted in to repair other tractor units air conditioned cabins. Not all Fendt Machinery is air conditioned 🙂 so yes giving the opportunity/ building customer relations I done the air conditioning service & maintenance for free on this powerhouse 😉
