There is a more cost-effective way of pushing your tractor to the top of the line when it comes to power.

You want field time decreased and you want to use the least amount of fuel possible while in the field. These two aspects save you two valuable items: time and money. You work hard trying to get the best yield out of your land, so why not expect your combine to do the same for you? Tuning your equipment is the quickest, cheapest, and most efficient way of going about getting the most out of your tractor. It can up-rate your tractor for a fraction of the dealer price and bring you the top-end amount of MPH and power. Let’s go ahead and examine what tuning can do for the equipment.

How Tractors Measure EGT's?

How Tractors Measure Exhaust Gas Temperatures

Have you ever noticed that some OEM's do not install an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) probe on the manifold? Any performance diesel gear head will tell you it's the best place to measure EGT's giving you the most accurate insight to any immediate stress on the motor.

Spiking EGT's in the manifold could be a symptom of many different problems including low boost, failing injectors, airflow restriction, EGR failure, etc. All of these failures signify a lit fuse that ultimately ends in engine failure if left unchecked. Clearly it's important to monitor EGT's, right!?

The problem with installing a probe from the manufacturer stand point is the life expectancy of the probe. Seeing extreme temperatures and still measuring accurately for the life of the service life requires high quality probes (read: expensive).

Never fear, manufacturers have come a long way in measuring temperatures (and cutting costs). In fact many feel no real need for a probe favoring a dynamic EGT model instead.

Do you have enough power for Tillage Work?

Tillage and Deep Ripping is Laborsome and Expensive Work!

Annual tillage can help mix nutrients in the soil, combat compacted soil, conserve soil moisture, and help in other ways. Many of us throughout the corn belt have to do heavy tillage work (deep ripping, chisel plowing, etc.).

For you, tillage work represents the the hardest job your tractor will see this year. Afterall, the ripper is probably the biggest implement you will run. Which explains why so many reports come in about tractors being grossly under powered for this practice. Bogging down on headlands, running slow up gentle grades, being forced to raise the plow to keep from getting stuck, and generally not being able to run at target ground speed to get a consistant finish are complaints we commonly hear from farmers doing this work.

We see the stress and heavy power demands of tillage work as the biggest opportunity for savings. Below we'll outline the case for tuning the tractor to save fuel during tillage operation. We'll also save you from having to make significant capital investment in higher horsepower equipment to pull larger plows and finishers.

"My tractor needs more power!"

This is something you may have thought while doing heavy work like tillage or pulling a loaded down grain wagon. Or maybe you noticed the lack of power while traveling over some tougher terrain.

Regardless of when you noticed that your tractor is short on ponies, you need a solution. You can either trade in your tractor for a larger model in the series or consider tuning to bump the power.

Spring Tillage and Deep Ripping

For the farmers that have to do tillage work, especially when the ground is hard, an under powered tractor is the last problem anyone wants. Although annual tillage can help mix nutrients in the soil, combat compacted soil, conserve soil moisture, and help in other ways, it can also cost a lot of time and fuel to complete the job.

Bogging down, running slow, struggling to climb hills, and other complaints are often made during tillage work. Which is why it is important to understand how much power you need to complete the task. Of course there are many factors when figuring out a horse power formula for sizing a ripper or chisel plow. Variables such as, target ground speed, desired depth, the type of shank and especially shank spacing will make a difference.

Custom Tractor Tuning for Deep Ripping

Deep Ripping Requires Power:

Many tractors that are used for heavy tillage that work in the fall are also used for heavy work throughout the season. Anyone who has pulled an a large tillage tool knows how much stress it puts on a tractor. So the large tractor that has plenty of power to do general work during the rest of the year can feel dramatically be under powered while deep ripping. Especially if you have decided to run a larger implement this season. This leaves many farmers looking for a safe solution. They need a bump in power, not something to make their equipment breakdown. Custom Tractor Tuning for Deep Ripping, Tillage work, or other strenuous activity is available through the Power Manager allowing farmers to take full advantage of the power available in their tractor or combine.

Tillage work is labor some and has high fuel cost!

Annual tillage can help mix nutrients in the soil, combat compacted soil, conserve soil moisture, and help in other ways. A common problem with the farming community throughout the corn belt, is heavy tillage work (deep ripping, chisel plowing, etc.) can be a chore for their tractor.

Tillage work involves using your tractor to pull what is generally the largest implement you own. Most people report that tillage work is when a tractor will be put under the highest amount of stress. Which explains why so many reports come in about tractors being grossly under powered for this practice. Bogging down, running slow, struggling to climb hills, and other complaints are often made during tillage work.

This is a situation that can be easily remedied with the custom tractor tuning provided by our Power Manager!
