175 XTD at a tractor pull !!

Video on Red Barn Machine Works. We started out with 92 HP and had to turn it down to 83 HP at 2300 RPM. Great torque back-up with 73 HP at 1650 RPM.

That rig is mean and burnin clean. Sounds great.

Nebraska Test for 6080 tractor says 5.0 GPH at 83 PTO HP ( 16.68 HPHPG) output. At 45 HP it drops to 3.47 GPH. I dyno a lot of newer/modern engines and 20 flywheel HP for a gallon of fuel burned is about as efficient as it can get. Flywheel HP on a 6080 would have been in the 95 to 100 HP range (83 at the PTO) and at 5.0 GPH that 1978-80 engine was very efficient for its day. The 175 gas burned 5.1 GPH making 61 HP, where now with the diesel will burn 5.0 GPH making 83 HP.

Heck of a job.Well done.

DrAllis, your new 175xt has got me pondering.... Your prior post "moldboard-plow-sizing" theory ~ tractor pto hp= width of plow in inches? So it's 83hp = 83 inches of plow width. That would equate to a 5x16 plow(80 inches)? Has that thought come to mind for this tractor? Could it's drive-train hold up to it?

Here's a link to the post I'm referring to;

Hey Doc., are you bringing this thing to Amana this weekend? I've got a tap for you.

Thank you for the tap, Mike. I'm glad I went to the Amana Show. Saw lots of nice Allis iron and dozens of old friends. Thank you all for a very nice day.

Your welcome Doc, happy to help. Great show as usual. Great talking with everyone. I really like that 7030 of Luke and Dale's!

Nice hook. He wanted to pull the big stick back, but it wasn't needed. She just laid in there and kept on pulling. Barely even a wisp of smoke.

As they say, even a blind sow finds an ear of corn once in a while. It was a wonderful hook. I've pulled dozens of different tractors over the years and you always worry about that first time. Will the weight/balance be right ?? what gear can the engine handle?? etc, etc. I didn't even know for sure what the tractor weighed until I got to the track scales. I had guessed around 5500 lbs with the Gleaner F-2 turbo-diesel engine installed and a half tank of fuel. The tractor and myself weighed 5640 and I'm 200 lbs these days, so I was pretty close. So, being as I was too heavy for a legit 5500, I just courtesy hooked and pulled last. I borrowed a 100 lb weight for the nose just in case and it must not have hurt my distance any. There was the point where I thought I was going to yank back on the "Big Stick" as the engine was down to almost 1800 RPM. All of a sudden there was a dry spot on the track and the engine actually gained RPM's until the very end at 360 foot. I was out on the grass. All the 20 something youngsters standing around at the end drinking beers were all smiling when I finally spun out on black dirt !! All-in-all it was a very nice hook, especially for a first hook. Got another similar local event a week from Saturday. I may have to try it again !!

Great job!! Thanks for sharing the footage!

Darkness had set in when they were finally done !! same thing every year.
