JD 5303 on the Dyno Video

[Wombat125]

My 5303 is at the dealer getting prepped for delivery. I feel like a little kid who can't sleep on Christmas Eve. I'm guessing delivery will be sometime Thursday or Friday.

Part of the dealer prep is to run it in on the dynamometer for about an hour. I thought this sounded interesting since I had never seen a PTO dyno, so I asked if I could watch. He kind of looked at me like I had lost my marbles, but agreed to call me when the time came.

I got the call today and took my camera. The tractor ended up pulling 55 PTO HP, right where it was supposed to, and the exhaust manifold doesn't seem to have any paint on it anymore.

I also grabbed a video of the tractor cooling down after it was run.

Man, we all have issues. I gotta go check on that dyno thing. Heck, you might want to have it checked after you break it in, see if you picked up any power.

Dynos are cool... I would love to see what kind of numbers my tractor would pull.
