HP increase module? Deere 3038e

Yes I know the pulling tractor is the xtreme, but it is an example of what overfueling can do.
Some tractors may be able to stand 10% but some cannot without bad things happening.

Years ago working for a MF dealer had a customer that purchased a 255 diesel. As with most he did not want to pay the price for the next larger model and asked if we could turn it up. Since the 265 used the same engine we attempted to do so. Removed the pump side cover, loosened the two bolts turned the stop slightly reinstalled the cover started the tractor. Put it on the dyno and had 70 hp out of it. The tractor is sold as a 55 hp tractor. Customer said leave it at that setting and took it home. The next week he brought it back and stated it now gets too hot, set it back some. So did so, this time it came down to 66 hp.
On an MM M602 a fellow put a turbo on it and used it to grind feed. While he was behind the mixer shoveling corn into the hammermill the kids would spray some starting fluid into the air intake. Reason: "They like to see the black smoke". It only broke the crankshaft.

Some don't have a problem with a problem modifying engines, some know how to repair it if something breaks.

That is all what JD has had a problem with "right to repair", they are afraid of owner modifying tractors and causing issues.

If @Bentrim had been there Icarus would still be cruising around the skies today!

That tractor looks too small to be lifting those bales.

Part of the reason I replaced it with a L4060hstc. Not that I've really moved any bales in the 6-7 years I've had the new machine.

I aint skeered to mod my stuff. In fact, that's half the fun of ownership. I can fix anything I can break.

Within reason, yes. Can be tough to fix a block. Can be really expensive to get another one.
