Is this a good match for the combine? Also long as I am posting. Everyone says the 1420 engine runs at 2900RPM. Mine runs about 2300-2350 under no load. I am wondering if the 81"s had a lower full throttle speed. Also, as others have stated, it could use a few hp. Does any one know of a turbo kit for the 1420, or is it possible to maybe have a good diesel mechanic turn it up to get about 15-20 more hp? Just could use a little more power in mud and on hills in heavy corn, I also am guessing when I get a bean head it may be short on power as well in heavy beans, also have to think about when I will do rye as well
