pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted January 24, 2022 This arrived today, a test report by the National Institute of Agricultural Engineering (NIAE) in the UK on a model J compact engine. An interesting read, nearly 3 hours into a 24 hour running test the gearbox siezed due to a broken tooth and parts from another engine were used to repair it. A further 16 hours later and the unit was stopped for excessive clutch slip. The NIAE concluded that this unit is "not suitable for general farming use", so not exactly a thumbs up then ! 2 CNew and JUST O&R reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
