Portable Engines Used For Drying,Irrigation
Two identical 359 cu. in. John Deere TA model diesel engines, mounted on portable trailers, save money and time for Illinois farmers Russell and Michael Schwarm.
The two men have pto-driven grain dryers at two different locations and a number of irrigation setups that they use throughout the year. By mounting the two engines on trailers, they're able to use them nearly year-round whenever needed.
The engines are oversized for operating the dryers - they run only at about half throttle-but when running irrigation pumps, they run at full speed.
