Tilling with an Ingersoll 4118D

[Eugen]

Found this on youtube





Never seen a Diesel Case GT, interesting. He's tilling about as slow as I usually do, because I like going deep.

I’ve seen a few of his videos. Perkins diesel in it, I think.

I like how it purrs

The "D's" came with a 3 cylinder 18hp Perkins.
I don't know if there was a big advantage to having the diesel but they sure sound good.

[Eugen]

I'd say that little Perkins has more torque than my 14HP Kohler. There's a proverb we have "He who has teeth can gnaw on bones."

[Timj]

Ya, it definitely does, but the torque kinda gets lost when just turning a hydraulic pump.

[Eugen]

Although I don't know what the max torque supported by the travel hydraulic system, I'm thinking that if you, let's say, plow with a moldboard, and your engine gets bogged down while the rear wheels are no longer turning, and if the pressure relief in the TCV doesn't kick in, then you have not maxed out the torque capability of the travel hydraulic system.

The fact is that I am able to bog down my 14HP Kohler with enough weight on the rear and AG tires, and the pressure relief valve on the travel control doesn't kick in.

That being said though, having a look at some current Perkins diesel engines of similar size

Let's take the 403D-07 model.

Displacement 0.7L, 20.5HP at 3600 RPM, 50Nm at 2400 RPM max torque, or about 36.9 lb ft. In comparison, the Onan P220G has about 32.5 lb ft max torque at 2400 RPM. The difference is not that crazy after all. (sour grapes)

Yes until heavy load on wett pto . I caught a hold of a root with the tiller and stalled Frankie before .

Oh, I’m sure you would see a difference when using it.
