What are you trying to do with your 4530, when it doesn't have enough power?

How big is the mower you are using? The 4530 has so much low end torque that it is a tough one to stall. I had a customer who was running an 8' rotary cutter with a 3525 which made her grunt a bit but she was hard to kill. I'm just wondering if is tuned correctly.

Run it in 3rd and enjoy the ride....as well as the day. I run a 6000 in 4th with a 7ft in 3ft field grass...after all...what else you got to do??/BobG in VA

I think a turbo would be cool. The rest of the tractor is surely a beast. Of course as a dealer, I can't recommend doing this as it could affect warranty, but a turbo and a little more fuel should get you in the 50HP plus range.

Question: If I look at the specs on a 7520 and the specs on a 6000, the only "difference" is a relatively low boost turbo to make the additional 15 hp. BUT, the compression ratio on the 7520 is less than the 6000 to accomodate the increased compression caused by the turbo boost. I'd think that a turbo on a 4530 (I believe we are talking about 3 out of the 4 cyl on 6000 (displacement wise) would require lower compression pistons to start, or you could potentiall blow a hole in the top of one/more with prolonged use with a turbo...am I missing anything here??/ I'd suggest forget the turbo and turn up the pump a tad...if you have to...bobg in Va

I agree if a turbo is definately what he wants, he really needs to have someone install it that really knows what he is doing or there could be some dire consequences. I also agree with Dave, that would be cool!
