ÖKO Verein and MR Zwettl-Weitra used the tractor for a number of agricultural activities (e.g. ploughing, combined growing, transportation, mulching). On the end of testing period 1,706 operating hours ( ) where done. Of that operating hours where done by ÖKO Verein ( ) and 1,128.9 hours by MR Zwettl- Weitra ( ). 11

16 Power test report (Camelina, before engine inspection) The power test was done before engine inspection (disassembling) and injectors changed Activities Engine disassembly for 2ndVegOil inspection by Raiffeisen Lagerhaus Zwettl (Austria) on Re-Conversion The tractor will not be re-converted and is taken over with the new technology by operator. 16

17 1.4.5 Operators feedback The responsible operator Mr. Artner of MR Zwettl-Weitra noticed that the performance in application with the camelina oil was in his opinion lower than the measurements of the power test ( ). In comparison of rape seed and camelina oil in practice were very low performance differences remarkable. Mr. Artner is generally satisfied with the plant oil tractor and he will take over the new engine technology for PPO. 17

18 1.5 ID 06 Oberleitner Operator: Johann OBERLEITNER Tractor ID: L06830R Type: 6830 Tractor: ID-06 Plant oil fuel: Rape seed Additiv: Lubrizol Motor oil: ACEA E 7 Testing period: Application field and operating hours Tractor was used primarily for pressing bales and for winter service (e.g. snow vacate). For winter service diesel was blended into rape seed oil.

The performance decreased continuous, as the engine run poorly by cold start. 19

25 Power test reports Power test report Table 14: Results power test , RLH Wr. Neustadt PTO speed PS Power test report On was a final PTO metering done by the workshop Raiffeisen Lagerhaus Wr. Neustadt. There are only one power test done, because of the proper functioning of the tractor. The results were directly sent to John Deere Activities Engine disassembly and endoscopy for 2ndVegOil inspection by workshop Raiffeisen Lagerhaus Wr. Neustadt on Re-Conversion The tractor will be re-converted, although a high satisfactory with the technology and very positive feedback of operator Operators feedback The operator was very satisfied with the plant oil tractor. The filters change was more times required, especially in autumn/winter, but that s no deficit. Because of the lack of technology risk and further service of John Deere Mannheim couldn t been guaranteed decided the operator for re-conversion of tractor. 2 Comment Two tractors showed problems with decreasing power due to injector coking. The most likely reason is that the keep clean additive dosage rate in that case did not fit its formulation. With the JD keep clean additive (Protect 100), no such problems occurred. 25
