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.

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.
