My respects TBN members,
I'm purchasing an 1963, 135HP Cat D4D crawler tractor to pull a 4 Ton farm dump trailer on a sandy soil to build up a 1.75 acres, 25,000 cu-yd irrigation reservoir plus other chores, (clearing 40 acres land, pulling out around 700 trees, building trails etc.), added reason I'm installing at it a 2 way Leon 10 reinforce dozer blade and a 18,000 lbs. winch attachments.
Buying a true dozer without doubt will double my budget and my 40HP, 4X4 LS R4041 loader-backhoe tractor will not make the cut soarting the 30 degrees reservoir slopes.
My concern is the diesel cost because it will take me an estimate of 1,750 to 2,000 hours to complete the whole project, meaning a US $55K to $60K expense where I'm located.
The help I'm looking for is to find who builds wood gasification units to use firewood as an ecological and low cost fuel alternative.
"Wood gasifiers can power either spark ignition engines, where all of the normal fuel can be replaced with little change to the carburation, or in a diesel engine, feeding the gas into the air inlet that is modified to have a throttle valve, if it did not have it already."
Thanks,
Blue Hood
