ENGINE DETAIL

The Advance-Rumely OilPull E 30/60 tractor features a robust 2-cylinder engine designed for kerosene, with a substantial displacement of 1885 ci (30.9 L) that delivers significant power for agricultural applications. Its large bore and stroke (10 x 12 inches) facilitate torque generation, making it suitable for heavy draft work but may also lead to increased wear and maintenance requirements. The impressive coolant capacity of 280 quarts (265 L) is advantageous for prolonged operation in demanding conditions, but operators should monitor coolant levels to prevent overheating during extended usage.

TRANSMISSION

The Advance-Rumely OilPull E 30/60 features a simple gearing system with one forward and one reverse gear, facilitating ease of operation, especially for users unfamiliar with complex transmissions. Its robust design is advantageous for agricultural applications requiring consistent power delivery, while the limited gear selection could challenge efficiency in varied terrain. This configuration is best suited for flat, open fields where straightforward maneuverability is prioritized.

MECHANICAL

The Advance-Rumely OilPull E 30/60 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing straightforward maneuverability for agricultural tasks but limited traction on slippery terrain. Its manual steering enhances operator control, yet may lead to fatigue during extended use. The single-speed transmission simplifies operation; however, it restricts versatility for varying field conditions, which could be a disadvantage in diverse farming environments.

ADVANCE-RUMELY OILPULL E 30/60 TIRES

The Advance-Rumely OilPull E 30/60 features a robust steel tire configuration with 44x16 front and 80x30 rear dimensions, optimizing traction and stability during heavy fieldwork. The large rear tires provide excellent load-bearing capacity for plowing and towing, while the front tires ensure better maneuverability and reduced soil compaction. However, the all-steel construction may lead to increased weight, which can challenge mobility on softer terrains and may necessitate adequate horsepower for optimal performance.
