8220 cooler than 6290?

[madscientist]

Often hear remarks that souped up 6290 runs hot. Plenty of 8220 doing 180hp on shaft. Do they run cooler?

Poss bigger Radiator in them? is it still a perkins or SISU motor in the 8220 ? without looking in my brochure i cant remember.
you deffo will struggle to cool a tweeked up 6290 far more so.
ours at 149hp dyno'd under full load for longer periods got warm enough

Yes same motor. Did work a 8220 on single pass was 183 on Shaft rose bit over half way on Guage but never concerned. Just wondered if others had worse bother.

i wouldnt try to push a 6290 to that kind of power it wont end well at some point. 150 odd horses is fine tho.

Know of couple 6290s that have 82 series injector pumps fitted to take them out far. Wicked animals for pullin

 

[madscientist]

Yes know of a 6290 with 8220 pump and injectors. I Reckon 8220 must have higher spec cooling system

 

[daveydiesel1]

Yeah it would but sure would only be a mater of puttin slightly larger radiator on 6290 and that should make the difference

Our 6270 hasn’t been tweaked but has always ran fairly hot compared to the 6265 4 cylinder, 6270 pulls like a train. I’d of thought a tweaked one would struggle to keep cool as the standard setup is plenty hot enough?

Would your 6270 be much ahead of your 4 cyl.? The 6265 supposed to be capable

The 6270 runs rings around the 65. Way more power and torque and sounds better too. Dad has always wished they bought another 70 or a 90 instead of the 65 but grandad wouldn’t let him. To be fair to the 6265 it’s had a hard life, it went straight on a 3m combi drill and was always on its knees. 6000 hours, 3 turbos and an engine rebuild later it’s on light duties. It was probably much better when it was new but I was too young to remember

That's interesting. You should Dyno your 6270. Sounds lot more than 10hp difference in 2 tractors

That’s a good idea, it would be interesting to find out. I suspect you’re right, either the 6270 is over performing or the 6265 is under. Normally the 6270 is on the plough but went on the drill when the 65 broke down and marched along no problem at all.

My 6270 has been tweaked up and no problems with overheating, where they run on the gauge is down to the thermostat, we changed the thermostat and it runs a bit hotter than it did but still fine,
the pumps are easy to fiddle

What power on your 6270 now?

What combi have you got and how much weight upfront. I'm going to have to follow the plough
5 furrows KV on the 3120
3m Kuhn accord on the 6265, 500kg grain? Full bank of 55kgs or loader with a bucket full!!!

(1ce had a 1200L field to spray and 3120 was busy so took a bucket of soil!)

No idea

always thought the 6265 would be a nice yard tractor but always seemed hard to find. know of two that were owned by men I know, both got engine rebuilds, yours is the third, is it common in them.

Well mines done 7.3k hrs did have a turbo, was a bit frightening when exhaust was full bore black and she didn't turn off! Had to think quick, turn it on then stall it!
Had a pump aswell, locked old 1 up and spun gear on shaft!!
Like mine would just love that bit more umpff but who wouldn't?
Find me a nice 6480 + loader sensible money and I may swap mine
Far better tractor than a 42/43 series!!!

 

[madscientist]

Out of curiosity does 6480 cool better? Same engine on MK1 tractor.

Gribben tractors have a mf 6265 in Portadown n.ireland. front links and PTO. Be a weapon fir topping and not tramping what your trying to trim
