Hearsay only, you will lose hp by going back to water only. 1-200 hp from my understanding. |

The ice is a pain? That's the reason you want to get rid of it? It's a pain having to adjust tire pressures, hitch height and weight for the track conditions too, might as well leave it the same all year. |

Why is it a pain ? Takes 5 min. to load the tank. No one said you have to run it did they ? I don't get your issue. |

Its not a pain once at a pull, it's sometimes difficult to find enough ice at times and in smaller centres. Was just curious as to folks thoughts on power loss without the cooler. Thanks again |

I freeze my own in 5 gallon buckets, then use as I need to. Take enough for two hooks witch is about 40# each. Yes it's a little work ,but it beats looking for ice in stores |

We bought an ice machine and a big cooler. Make your own never have to rely on anyone. Can get them reasonable enough its worth the investment. |

On a Llss setup I don't think you would hurt yourself to bad cuz a cooler has its biggest advantages over water injection on torque not horsepower and being that light torque isn't as much a factor as it would be at say 9500 pounds |

What kind of EGT,s were you getting with your intercooler Tyler? Both water injection and inter cooling would be the best. |

Melting 60 or so lbs of ice depending on the day and I would use about 1 1/2 quarts of water the egts were a pretty consistent 1400-1500 degrees at pre turbo |

This is an interesting topic.
In SuperFarm the non-cooler tractors are not behind the cooler tractors anymore. Look at Badger State results. The turbos injection pumps and injectors have come along way that simply clamping on a cooler does not automatically put you ahead of a non-cooled tractor. Mineral point and Monroe were Badger State events won by non-cooled tractors. |

I run a type 54 from frozen boost, the biggest one they make and modified with two 1 " inlet and outlets. I can melt 60-70 lbs of ice pretty easily |
