I should have started this post a couple weeks ago, but winter hit early and have been super busy!
I am beta testing Masseys new engine managment software for high altitude and cold climate, we have been working on it for the last year, and now testing it in real world conditions, 4500-5500 foot elevation and -25° to 40° temps
I will start thread now and update it over the next days and weeks.
Long story short I bought my 2019 Massey 1755 in Nebraska march 2019.
I put about 200 hours on it before I brought it to the Northern Rockies in Montana Nov 1st 2019. It had never missed a beat or had any issue.
When I got it to Montana, the day after I drove it off the trailer it started have starting and drivability issues and couldn't get out of it own way and ROLLING COAL.
It would eventualy clear up and operate normaly, but the minute you stopped or shut it off and started again, it loaded up and would not clear up for several minutes and had to baby the throttle for several minutes before it would even try to act normal.
I documented everything, hours, elevation, air temp, engine temp, fuel type, ect. Took videos and pics and updated Massey on what where how and when, ect. Put about 100 hours on it over the winter.
Took it back to Nebraska in May 2020 and worked on our property there and put about 50 hours on it in 25° to 95° temps at 900 ft elevation and it never fluttered once.
Took it into my Massey dealer in Oct and they gave it a completemcheck up, checked valve lash and injector timing and all was good.
They then installed the new software and asked me to beta test it as I was bringing it back to Montana at the end of the month.
I got it back here and have put 50 hours on it in the last couple weeks and I will update this post with the conditions, type of work, temps, ect in the upcoming days and weeks.
