Not So Pro 3

[Slumberjack]

I like my 06 Cummins DRW and my 2019 Kioti DK47. Honestly I try to idle the truck as little as possible since it has zero emissions controls. I appreciate that my tractor as at least a DPF filter to keep the noxious fumes around my house down.

Averaging over 26 MPG in the dually is nice as well. Most efficient full size truck I've ever owned. Can't wait to get a trailer and make some money with the tractor.

DPF is just for soot no fumes. Never drove one that got 26 average. 16-18mpg average. In 6th gear @55mph yea 26+. I’ve driven and worked on many.

Yep, 6th gear with a light foot and I live in a rural area. The soot is the most harmful part of the combustion process for human lungs, which are the kind I have. Don't know about you, but less soot is better, especially with a vehicle I drive around my property, which also has livestock that I eat.

I’m with ya there. It sounded like you were implying your tractor had an SCR unit for NOX fumes. I didn’t think that got to that level yet but I could be wrong.

Just looked it up to check. 25hp and up and below 100hp DPF only. 100hp and up DPF and SCR.

Morning Kathies. Some gum wagging has been going on. Took me 2 coffees just to get through it all.

Planning on finishing the trampoline this afternoon then kicking back with a fire and smashing some burgers later.

Good evening Gary how’s your weekend going

Dryer now but warmer would be better. Thanks for asking.

I was informed 10 more years no more solid fuels and 20 more years no more fossil fuels would be used to generate power. 10 more years I’ll be looking for another job apparently. A lot could change between now and then. Cars and tractors may only be able to run on hydrogen

 

[Slumberjack]

Y’all have a good one. Gonna try to get something done today lol. Maybe will maybe not lol plus gfy

88°F already at noon where I was at yesterday. Looking like mid ninties today and 65-70 tomorrow

I think we will see liquid fuels from biomass to continue using legacy equipment, trucks, etc. There is a Canadian company making liquid fuels from cellulose, specifically as a replacement for diesel and heating oil. Should all be fairly clean with the only emissions being carbon, water, and NOX. Good filtration and carbon capture tech will make these fuels carbon neutral. Porsche is also working on liquid biofuels. These same fuels should work well with internal combustion powered OPE.

My tractor is indeed a tier IV with DPF, 45hp. I'd like to get the ECU tuned to the 60hp mapping, but that will be some time down the road. My truck is one of the last years without DPF, I think they came in 07 with the 6.7 Cummins.

We gonna see some interesting changes coming really soon no doubt about it. Sasol was to build a tetralazation unit across the street from where I work and make natural gas into clean diesel but they pulled the plug on it.

So far, grub, my couch and more grub.
Had to skip lunch yesterday working in the heat, sucked.

Might go do a video of a saw. Mfers are always bugging me about it. Should go film a wild thing just to piss them off lol.

Just posted the 200T art work.
Not really art but more man and machines.

Nat gas is a dying energy source. The primary means of harvesting nat gas is as a byproduct from fracking. The big lending institutions aren't giving any new loans for coal mining or fracking for oil. Pretty soon there will be no new fossil fuel ventures. It is a bummer for people working in the fields, mines, on the ground, etc. but hopefully folks will be paid to retrain. Much like all of the New England riverside muzzle loader makers went under when cartridges became the dominant ammunition. Hydrogen made from excess wind and solar generation might work well as a fuel for combustion engines, but there are drawbacks. Mazda can get a rotary engines to run on hydrogen, albeit with less efficiency and power.

Hydrogen dumped into biodesil seems to be a good thing or HHO. Wet exhaust gasses make NOX and particulate easy to grab.

September 25th is on. We got lawn seat to the Wmmr bbq last week.
Cheap Trick, Dirty Honey and so much more.

 

[Mastermind]

We're in Alabama.

Plus....GFYs

 

[Egg Shooter]

Right? Lol. I'll stick to my diesel tractors with mechanical everything for work and gas trucks for on road activities

100% agreement.

Some red neck might could makes a swimmin pools out of it.
