When you hear the word turbocharger, you quickly think of fast racing cars, trucks, passenger cars, and SUVs with much more power. Farmers, contractors with harvesters, and the forestry industry know better. It is precisely in these sectors that the turbocharger is indispensable because power and endurance are of the utmost importance. As well as reliability and fast delivery times, because an agricultural machine that does not perform as it should at critical times immediately becomes a costly problem.

Hence, farmers choose specialized turbocharger brands with proven performance and good value for money. Plus some extra service from MasterTurbo, where our motto is not for nothing: "MasterTurbo likes to think further, where the manufacturer stops." That means: our turbocharger specialist will always find a suitable turbocharger in our range that can do mountains of work. In stock or available within a short time. And then there's the option of having it overhauled quickly and expertly to make it as good as a new turbocharger. Usually, it can be done within 24 hours. 

Again, among the significant makers of turbochargers, specialists have devoted themselves entirely to turbochargers for the diesel engines used for heavier-duty agricultural or forestry work. Think of harvesters, tractors, compact mini-tractors, and even the powerful devices used in Canada to cut and dismember trees in no time. Especially when it comes to turbochargers for the engines of common brands of agricultural equipment such as John Deere, Cummins, MAN, New Holland, Deutz, Massey Ferguson, Claas, Case, Yanmar, Kubota, Shibaura, or Fendt. Turbo brands with vast experience in agricultural turbochargers include BorgWarner, Holset, and the Japanese giants Mitsubishi and IHI Turbochargers. 

The major brands of agricultural turbochargers

Mitsubishi and IHI have their roots in heavy industry and shipping; they also make high-quality and innovative products used in aviation and aerospace. Holset is part of parent company Cummins, which has been producing OE-quality aftermarket parts for over 100 years. In doing so, efficient and cost-effective use is paramount. Holset also invented the VG turbocharger, a smart turbocharger that works with axially moving turbine wheel blades to further reduce wear. BorgWarner has distinguished itself as a leading supplier of turbochargers thanks to long life and excellent performance. Critical aftermarket customers appreciate the top quality, which is 100% equal to OE quality. Below is a selection of 7 common turbochargers for agricultural application: 

Ordering a new turbocharger or make the conscious decision of overhauling?

If you order an excellent turbocharger from the top brands at MasterTurbo, you will usually have it in your home, ready to use, the very next day. Good to know, at those times of the year when every day on the land counts. A good alternative for many farmers is overhauling a turbocharger at MasterTurbo. Such a ReMan goes through several thorough steps in our workshop. The process on the way to remanufacture goes much further than just the superficial treatment of "refurbished," which you may know from smartphones. At MasterTurbo, we leave nothing to chance when we give a ReMan turbocharger a bright second childhood. We first carefully remove oil and dirt in the durable BioCircle washing machine, then critically assess its performance and efficiency. 

At the slightest doubt, replace a part, reassemble everything neatly, and then test it extensively before the as-new turbocharger earns the designation ‘ReMan from MasterTurbo’. Certainly also an affordable alternative to new. And if there is a hurry, a ReMan turbocharger can be back on the farm in core health within 24 hours! Typical MasterTurbo, this kind of personal service. After all, we know from experience how essential a good, trouble-free working machine park is in the agricultural sector.
