Deere Tractors Repowered With Cummins Diesels
 ✖  |
If you have a Deere 10, 20, or 30 series tractor with a worn-out engine, you should consider repowering it with a new Cummins diesel, says Altura Truck & Tractor, Altura, Minn., which runs a repowering service for older Deere 10, 20, and 30 series tractors, including the 3010, 3020, 4000, 4010, 4020, 4320, 4520, 4620, 4030, 4230, 4430, and 4630 tractors.
The company exhibited a Deere 3010 at the recent North American Farm & Power Show in Minneapolis, Minn. It had been re-powered with a Cummins 4-cyl. 4B3.9 diesel engine.
"Converting a tractor with a worn-out gas engine to diesel is less expensive than buying a new tractor and it improves tractor re-sale value," says Merlin Stephan. "The tractor uses less fuel than the original gas engine and is even less noisy. In some cases it results in more horsepower and more torque.
"Most of the time we don't have to modify the frame or hood so you won't notice much difference in the appearance of your tractor. What you will notice is greatly improved performance. We paint the engine and the front frame. All engines come with a 2-year, 2,000 hour warranty. All of the work is done at our shop. Installation kits are not available at this time. It costs $10,900 to have a non turbocharged diesel engine installed and $11,900 for a turbocharged."
