Tractor with gas?

This afternoon I took some time to make changes to the ignition distributor, I replaced the springs on the centrifugal regulator (I tested it with a cordless drill, which reaches 1600 rpm, the max deviation reaches about 1200 rpm) and added a screw for adjusting the vacuum regulator (the original has a small adjusting screw, but it has very little travel and is difficult to access, so it is not possible to make adjustments while driving).
I also did a test drive, the feelings are good, I get more power at higher rpm, it works well even at low rpm

Tone, I once asked Kristijan how many hours a day Slovenia has. We have only 24. I bet you have at least 48, or more. Impressive work you do.

Thank you JO, I haven’t done anything so impressive, I write and think too much, I don’t do enough. How true is the saying of wood gas users, which contains the number 75%,… I hope I have reduced this number a little, I don’t dare to state my current figures, because I don’t know what awaits me,… :smiley:

Tone, you are way ahead of us others.
I also wonder how many hours a day Slovenia has?
Even that i know the secret to work 25 hours a day, i don’t make 10% of what you do…

It’s not how many hours there are in a day. It’s how many minutes there are in a hour and I think that’s variable according to age. My hours are about 15 minutes long now unless they come between 2 and 4 am while I’m laying in bed staring at the ceiling.

I’ve been very busy lately, no time to ride Fergi, well, today he got some work in the field,… I almost forgot what a pleasure it is to ride on wood gas. After I made the settings on the ignition regulator, it works like a song,… :smiley:

I have a few fields that I cultivate in a crop rotation, that way the soil can breathe and pests can leave the area, well, weeds and grass need to be mulched to enrich the soil with nutrients, at least that’s what I think…

The hard work was done by Fergi today, transporting the excavator to the location where I had deposited the sand, and then 5 heavy loads of sand uphill, approximately 15 m3, I still can’t believe how little wood is needed to do such a difficult job.

Tone, that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. I remember before woodgas I was dreaming - what if a basket of wood (15-20kg) could take me into town (15-20km). To my surprice I noticed half of it takes me there - and back.
My hoppers sometimes last 1.5h puttering around home in the woods. Only a couple times a year, on longer open road trips, they last sligtly less than an hour and I could wish for more. But I can live with that.
