many small tractors use ballast in the front to keep the wheels down, so gasifier in the front actually might make handling better.

Hermoso

How do you describe the MPG? Like pounds per mile? Or miles per pound?

Someone already said it... it's the coolest tractor I've ever seen... One question: the wood you put in the gasifier, are they chips?... or pellets. Thanks for the video.

I just got a Case 310 utility tractor, I can't find any more videos talking about the controls of the tractor, do you guys know how to find more information I will really appreciate it. I was reading some comments on blogs that talks about the controls, pretty much I want to know about the hand clutch, is the lever on the left side of the tractor when you are seating on it. I have to have the hand clutch lever on the up position for the tractor to move? because when the lever is down it will not move. Thanks

Good job

Good job

hola!!, soy de argentina y quiero construir un gasificador igual a ese, podrias pasarme fotos de como son sus partes para asi hacer algo similar con las cosas que tengo?, saludos cordiales !! Hello !!, I am from Argentina and I want to build a gasifier just like that one, could you pass me photos of what its parts are like to do something similar with the things I have? Kind regards !!

this engine is diesel?

That's awesome cuz you can use the tractors PTO to turn a generator to charge some batteries in a grid down situation to keep the lights on maybe run a radio

this is really cool for people live in forest and couldnt afford for gasolin

do you ever have a problem with overheating?

any update on this one?

Would this work for m35 deuce1/2 military surplus truck? The engine is considered be multifuel but the diesel is the preferred fuel. It would be an excellent option for an trailer behind the Deuce.

Hi i have just seem your clip,i am looking at building a gasifier,can you help me with the plans thank you Dave.( Australia)

Your grand children will be able to say. Grand dad has the coolest John Deere tractor to be found, for miles around. And I agree. The Coolest.

so cool

Your engine might overheat it can't get any air

At least you posted the video and showed that things don't always go perfectly. Others hide when it dosn't go perfect and we all no who they are.

yup... not a good representation of flame colour at all. I'll probably do a similar cooler set up as the system sent to yellow knife and add a water jacket to the first tower. we'llsee what happens when I get there

I don't see a water condenser on the producer I think it could help...finnally back on mine.... Say hi to Terry for me...

the genset ran for about an hour but I suspect that it's having some plugging issues do to my poor air preheat design.... If the engine starts on gasoline after i've let it cool down all day (meaning not tarring of the valves) I'll rebuild the reactor differently. Here's hoping

Cooool!

1st grate version. Did get some plugging...

I love this post, thanks for it. I started building my woodgas project and even posted a few videos but health put it on back burner for a bit. About to start on it again and will post updates. I am trying to make mine portable and compact but still big enough to run the old truck. Biggest problem I have faced is building it in a way to run many things off of it. Old Chevy truck, Ford truck, tractor, generator, trencher, etc... Again, thanks. Every little bit I find, helps me on my project.

Nice Lookin machine you got there!!

I missed the wood gas carb shut off valve at the top of the final filter.....

Looks and sounds real good!

While the wood gas carb shut off valve in this video is plastic, we don't and will not use plastic in final versions...

That's pretty sweet!!! Loved the 4th gear (sorta) power slide!

Great project thanks!

Hey! Sounds and looks real good! Who's that happy lookin guy drivin it :-) Good on ya. TerryL

It's more the the crank is spinning the the right direction until it works its way out...

Haven't been hit with it yet... pulling would mean use my left arm... that doesn't work so good for me... my shoulder is kinda bad still... I'll get it though. Thanks for the heads up all, it's appreciated

Be careful with the hand crank. Always pull, don't push; don't use your thumb... any backfires should rip it from your grip, not push it towards you. Your technique as shown is a good way to break an wrist...

That sounds sweet.

Good stuff...I'll be watching...

That will be a GREAT advertising tool. Looks like a nice starting point.

Gonna be a fun build

thanks, it was alot of fun (and work) the customer is very happy. It was nice to be able to include my friends in some of the testing, anyone that came out to the shop got to take it for a ride... need more people seeing what wood gas can do.

LOOK MOM.....NO GAS>>>>

LOVE IT great work ,,,

yup Stephen, it starts and runs pretty good. oil was cheap and easy... turn a key and go... sadly people today want push a button and go... kinda lazy... but you pay for that at the pump.

That's a smooth start up! Why did we go back to gasoline after the war???

thanks Troy

when you're used to getting a lot more water vapour and smoke out of your system. just having a haze of woodgas is really different.

110v. not hard to get a small inverter for starting off the tractor battery. Vacuum uses about 450 watts and is only ran for about 5 minutes to get the reactor up to heat

I would get him to do that today but Rich wants to paint stuff so I'm gonna let him. the gov. did look like it was working... it was moving a lot down in the sand at the far end of the yard... time will tell but it does look promising.

That's just too cool! Get Arv junior pulling that drag round the yard. That will tell about the governor Congratulations!
