They were used extensively in Holland during WW2 .My dad ran two such outfits for several years. They were both the Imbert design. He built one here in 1985 from scratch since parts are not available and took it to various shows, which now my brother and I do. They did loose about 10 percent of the engine power, but generally a higher compression head was used to somewhat offset that. From a cold start, it took about 10 minutes to get combustible gas to run in the engine, from warm, start up was right away. They were not a pleasant device to operate, the slow combustion process leads to creosote production, hence the filters and coolers you see on the tractor. Wood consumption was about 20 to 30 pounds per hour on dads 20 hp E27N Fordson. I can post some photos if you wish.
