Lynx Engineering say the engine performance of some of the world’s biggest combines and tractors can now be accurately tested here in the UK due to the arrival of new Eggers dynamometer technology.

Lynx say they added a mobile Eggers 735 KW PT 501 G+ PTO brake dynamometer to its dyno range. Capable of measuring and verifying the torque, power and performance of engines up to 1000hp, Lynx claims the new dyno could be the most powerful of its type in the UK. 

The company are the sole UK importer of these dynamometers from Germany-based KL Maschinenbau, which specialises in the development and manufacture of dynamometers for agricultural machinery and engines.

Dealers across the UK and Ireland can now either book dyno tests to be conducted by a Lynx technician on the dealer’s premises, or dynamometers can be purchased through Lynx and, if necessary, supported with training.

Lynx managing director, Nick Ewbank said, "Testing a tractor or a harvester in summer and then in winter can yield completely different results from the same input data. The Eggers technology provides a common standard, irrespective of outside air temperature, to give consistently accurate and reliable results whatever the time of year.

“With this new addition to our Eggers dyno range we can offer our dealers a first-class testing service on any harvester or tractor, saving them a substantial financial outlay on special tools and training which they would otherwise need to support the sales and servicing of the very latest high-horsepower machines”, he added.
