Tazewell trip report

[JD-Beach]

Hey Woodlandfarms ..... That must be a "WEST" Virginia joke, ... not a Virginia joke!

I drove both. The 1445 felt like it had twice the power of the 1430; in reality, when you compare the power curves, it only had 50% more. The 1445 just felt more solid, more powerful. But I wasn't running either one wide open. (Novice operator, and all that.)

You might want to check your manual. The new 2011 engines aren't supposed to need valve adjustment.

All the best!

Anything about adjusting the valves on the Deutz. I lost my book but I think mine are about due. I think I'll try to get a manual from Deutz before I try. Thanks for the report on the 1445. We don't here much about that one. Sounds like it has a lot more power than the 1430. I've looked at that 3cyl 2011f on the net several times. I believe it's only a couple inches longer than the 30hp in my 1430. Can you guess what I'm dreaming?
