I am not questioning the decision to change the standard engine in the
Seahorse DD, and at the time of my contract the standard engine was the
Deere 4045 TFM. I have not checked with Bill if I even have the option of
changing to Iveco at this point in time, or if there is any cost
differential. There would apear the chance to change, and I need to think
about the choice.
When I decided to buy a DD the only engine was the 4045 TFM 135 Hp Deere. Up
until now I had convinced myself to be happy with this choice, even though I
prefer simplicity.
The choice now is the simple Iveco as standard, and the Deere based Lugger
L1064A 115 Hp at an additional 15K USD.
I am leaning toward the Iveco for displacement, and simplicity. I was simply
wondering about experience of others with this engine.
Note that the duty rating for the specified Deere and specified Iveco is
different with Iveco "D" model at full load 100% of the time. Deere M-3
rating as specified is full load 35% of the time.
Iveco specs are confusing and the 25% full load C rating shows the same Hp
and torque curves as 100% load D - how can this be?
I do not get it about fuel consumption, and Iveco does not give any data. It
does appear that the Iveco spins faster.
Is power output a direct relationship between air and fuel burned, so that
the displacement difference is more or less balanced at equal Hp output? Or
does bigger displacement simply consume more fuel?
