New Holland Biodiesel approval document
I know there have been a few threads recently about biodiesel usage. I just happened to notice this document on the NH website today. It was linked to from this page.
Looks like the Boomers are limited to B5 officially. ~paul

Re: New Holland Biodiesel approval document
I thought I heard on our local farm hour radio show (5 AM to 6AM, 5 days a week) that CNH had approved 100% soy diesel??? Maybe I misunderstood or am thinking of another brand.

Re: New Holland Biodiesel approval document
They aproved B100 (which mets the ASTM spec... I can't remember the number) for use in SOME of their engines. If I recall, these are all in the larger tractors. I think it's a different manufacturer for the smaller vs larger engines, which is probably why some are approved and some are not.

Re: New Holland Biodiesel approval document
Its probably more a testing issue. They've probbly not but in the time yet to run though testing on the TC's. You typicaly see more problems with bigger, fuel injected engines than you do on smaller diesels. I doubt it would be an issue.

As MessikFarmEquip says, it's probably just a matter of not having done the appropriate tests yet. Though you would think if the only problem was seals/hose compatibility they could give some indication on that without an actual test.
