ENGINE DETAIL
The Advance-Rumely OilPull H 16/30 tractor features a robust 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that runs on kerosene, making it efficient for agricultural tasks. With a displacement of 654.2 cubic inches (10.7 liters) and a bore/stroke ratio of 7.00x8.50 inches, it offers substantial low-end torque at a low rated RPM of 530, ideal for heavy pulling applications. However, the large coolant capacity of 60 quarts suggests a potential challenge in terms of cooling system maintenance; operators must ensure proper management to prevent overheating during prolonged operations.

ADVANCE-RUMELY OILPULL H 16/30 ENGINE
The Advance-Rumely OilPull H 16/30 features a robust 10.7L two-cylinder kerosene engine, providing reliable torque for heavy-duty applications. With a substantial 34-gallon fuel tank and a small auxiliary fuel tank, it ensures extended operational periods with reduced refueling frequency, but the reliance on kerosene may limit versatility in fuel options. Ideal for large-scale farming operations, it excels in tasks that require sustained power, yet users should be mindful of potential challenges related to fuel availability and maintenance of kerosene systems.

TRANSMISSION
The Advance-Rumely OilPull H 16/30 features a simple gear transmission with two forward and one reverse gear, optimizing ease of operation for various agricultural tasks. Its design allows for straightforward power delivery, though the limited gearing may challenge speed variation on diverse terrains. Ideal for flat farms where consistent power is necessary, but less adept for steep or variable landscapes due to gear constraints.

| Gears | 2 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Advance-Rumely OilPull H 16/30 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering straightforward handling but limited traction on uneven terrains. Its manual steering can provide a tactile driving experience, though it may demand more physical effort, especially during tight maneuvers. The 2-speed gear transmission allows for basic speed adjustments, which can be beneficial in low-load situations, but may lack the versatility for high-speed applications or varied farming tasks.

ADVANCE-RUMELY OILPULL H 16/30 TIRES
The Advance-Rumely OilPull H 16/30 tractor features steel agricultural tires with a front size of 40x7 and a rear size of 56x18, providing durability and traction suited for heavy tillage and pulling tasks. The larger rear tires enhance stability and flotation on soft or uneven terrain, which can be advantageous in soil conservation practices. However, the steel construction may lead to a harsher ride and increased soil compaction compared to rubber-tired alternatives, requiring careful management in sensitive environments.
