![]() "D.W. Taylor" wrote I drove a harvesting machine that used hydrostatic drive and a VW engine for power. We ran it on a governer at 3950rpm 24x7 all summer. \\\ The fact that it ran with a governor means that it was not at full HP. It is admirable for it to run that many RPM's for that many hours, but still, there is no indication of how long it would run at true Wide Open Throttle, making all the HP it could. I suspect its life would have not been as long, if it were loaded to it's maximum output. -- Jim in NC |
