In Reply to: 2 Stroke Diesels posted by JimS on October 26, 2016 at 09:37:08:
We've owned a couple... one (well, a few) as irrigation pumps, and one in a self propelled chopper. Good steady power at high RPMs. Actually, pretty easy on fuel. Had one guy tell me check the fuel and add oil! Lots of power for the size, as two stroke meant twice as many power strokes per turn. Oil would stay clean a REALLY long time for a diesel.

They were best on a pump, gravel crusher, ship, etc.
