Tractor Intake
A tractor intake kit can improve the performance of your vehicle by reducing horsepower loss caused by underpowered engines, increasing fuel economy, and improving the Horse Power (HP), torque, and Horse Power (HPP) of your engine. When selecting an intake system for your tractor, you should first determine what model of engine you have. Make sure that you choose an intake kit that matches the specifications on your tractor. There are many distributors of aftermarket parts, but remember that not all distributors will be trustworthy.
The aftermarket fuel economy kits for tractors are made to improve gas mileage, reduce engine vibration, increase airflow, and improve gas mileage. Some are small enough to fit behind the engine or the cab, but some require that the entire bumper is replaced, including the headlights, grille, and taillights. Most of these kits improve fuel economy by at least 10%, but some can significantly decrease your fuel economy. Many have a stock gas and diesel engine and only require a carburetor to complete installation.
Your truck's fuel economy depends on a number of factors including make, model, age, and mileage. If you want to increase your gas mileage while reducing the noise of your engine, installing an intake system upgrade can dramatically change your tractor's appearance and increase your gas mileage. If you have an older or rusted out gas powered model, you might want to consider replacing the entire intake with a new intake. Most distributors will gladly help their customers choose the best solution for their needs.
