L3240 hp

is there any way to get any more horsepower out of a 3240? I know the 3800 has basically the same engine but a few more ponies under the hood

3240? Is that a Kubota? IDK, I think the Japanese pretty well design the machines so the engine power matches the tranny and final drive with a keen eye on longevity. I suppose you could tear down any engine and bore the cylinders for a couple more hp. On a gas engine you can mess with carburation, ignition and such. I say get smaller implements or a bigger tractor.

Generically you can crank up the amount of fuel put out by the pump, to a point. At some point you won't have enough air to support the extra fuel. At that point you need to add a turbo.

All that assumes the engine is strong enough for the extra power & has good enough cooling.

The question becomes, "how much money do you have?" The truth is that it is easier to buy a bigger tractor and be done with it.

thanks for the input,.. would be nice if they offered a small turbo kit for the smaller tractors

i wonder if a straight pipe or less restrictive muffler would gain 1 or 2 hp

Your neighbors would love you.

And greater COOLING CAPACITY to go with the ponies.

I've spent my life making things faster and more powerful.

Neither of those are great for reliability and thats what I like tractors to be...
