my opinion would be run away. when using in an agricultural application they have the nasty habbit of sucking up corn stalks leaves etc and over heating and possibly setting them on fire. as quick as you clean them off get back in the seat there full again. unless you take the heat shields off leaves wont accumultate but the heat wont dissapate. of course a liquid cooled tractor you must keep leaves out of but most dont have heat shileds around the finned heads. how many old balers started on fire back in the day when they had air cooled wisconson engines. vermeer had tons and tons of problems with them in thier treachers. the problem was on a treacher not alot of air circulation and they had problems blowing head gaskets, getting head gaskets to seeal so it wouldnt fill the piston up with oil. they even had so many problems with deutz engines they went to thicker head gaskets, still blew, then had the torque spec for head bolts +120 degrees still having problems with them because of the severe temp irregularities the deutz "tech rep" said put a 6 inch pipe and a 1/2" breaker bar and blue torque them (pull till your blue in the face. suprisingly very suprizingly i did this and never had another head gasket fail before this we went through about 6 in 2 months. of course this was all back in the day dont know about newer items
