Turbocharging new L3940 Gutless Pig Tractor

[kiotiken]

I can get you 7 extra hp at no cost, with no effort and no work, heck, it'll even reduce your operating costs. OPEN YOUR WINDOWS AND TURN OFF YOUR A/C when working it hard up a hill. Rob a few hp for HST, 5-7 more for A/C and what do you expect from 40hp?

Also, who ever said it was probably right, you're not operating your HST properly, less is more. I just pulled an 8000# load 25 KM with the A/C on in high gear. My tractor isn't much bigger than yours and all in (tractor, load, trailer and extra attachments) I weighed in around 14,000 - 15,000#. The only thing you don't have enough power for is doing the work in high range, up a hill, wearing a winter jacket on the hottest summer day. If you need to grade the driveway that much faster, sell the tractor and by a grader.

I've never seen anybody more determined to spend money. If the whole tractor is a POS in your opinion, why not get rid of it? You don't like the HST or any of the new feechurs Kubota put onto it. You don't like the engine performance. So even if this works, you're still gonna hate it for the transmission.

Sorry to contribute to 9 pages. What a waste of a thread.

After the turbo mod, I see a thread about how to convert the hydraulics to a 5000PSI system to remedy the underpowered loader :laughing:

More power. Great project. Get out and use that power for a good continuous period. More project.

This could have been a better wast of time.

The Attitude and calling a brand new Grand L a "Gutless Pig" didn't help at all...

 

[murphy1244]

That's what I would do.

Yea go taunt the Green Guys

Pressure set at 2950 with .050" shim already, it helped. Help me with the turbo and keep your sniglets to yourself thanks.
