Combines horsepower

[NDDan]

You can find a bunch of the HP, CID, ect. specs at out web site. hurttequipment.com. We can check HP at clutchshaft with dyno. Gleaner put out new bulliton with what we should expect to see at clutchshaft with each engine change. The specs represents a certain amount less power from bare engine to represent some of the losses. The fuel pump and or engine control module settings determine the HP and torque rise the engine will have. Of course the injectors need to handle whatever amount of fuel and you need enough air ect. ect. If you study the engine charts you'll see where they pull about 210 engine HP from a 374CI Deutz and 228 engine HP from a V8 Deutz with over 800CI. They have that little Deutz reved up, turboed and intercooled while that big V8 Deutz is naturally asperated. Then you'll see when the V8 is turboed they use a smaller displacement engine. Hard to understand what or why they do what they do at times. Now to answer your question on turning up the 260HP twin turboed Deutz to the 300HP spec. To my knowledge they are only different in what the fuel settings are. Our pump guy will never set more than 10% over on any pump but I will also say I'm sure we have had some 300HP pumps set up 10%. You may want to tune engine up well including pump and then set up prosessor to flow the straw and you'll be very happy. Good luck

I understand the naturally aspirated engine ran out of horsepower in the higher altitudes of Colorado and Montana. But why they didn't just put turboes on that 800 ci is another one of (Gleaners better engineering stunts). Don't you think if he has a 800 ci, he could put turboes on it and outperform all the R72's with the smaller engineIJ

If the reason the NA engines around 1990 didn't pull in the mountains was to thin of air a turbo would likely help to some extent. Smoke would of been a sign of not enough air. They would certainly need more fuel to make big difference. Other than turbos I don't know what else was done to make that engine cheap enough to install in the smaller machines. In our area all these engines (turboed or not) seemed week until we flowed straw properly. We dynoed basically all these combines back in them days to find power was where it was advertized to be. Making the changes to flow straw cured all them problems with power. Have a good day
