ENGINE DETAIL

The Advance-Rumely OilPull S 30/60 features a robust kerosene-fueled, horizontally opposed 2-cylinder engine with a significant displacement of 1399.5 ci, promoting high torque at low RPMs, which is ideal for heavy-duty field applications. The large bore and stroke (9.00 x 11.00 inches) allow for efficient combustion characteristics, but may present challenges in maintaining engine balance and stability at higher operational limits. With a substantial coolant capacity of 152 quarts, this tractor is well-equipped for prolonged use in demanding conditions, although it requires careful monitoring to prevent overheating in extreme scenarios.

ADVANCE-RUMELY OILPULL S 30/60 ENGINE

The Advance-Rumely OilPull S 30/60 features a robust 22.9L 2-cylinder kerosene engine, ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks with a commendable fuel capacity of 52.5 gallons (198.7L), ensuring extended operational periods between refuels. However, its reliance on kerosene may present challenges in fuel availability compared to diesel options. The auxiliary 2-gallon tank allows for increased versatility; however, the overall efficiency may be impacted by the larger fuel consumption typical of such larger engines.

TRANSMISSION

The Advance-Rumely OilPull S 30/60 features a simple gearing system with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse, which facilitates ease of operation for basic agricultural tasks. However, the limited gear ratio may restrict its speed and adaptability for varying terrain or heavier loading conditions. Ideal for low-speed work on flat fields, this tractor might struggle with steep inclines or demanding operations requiring higher torque and speed variations.

Gears 3 forward and 1 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Advance-Rumely OilPull S 30/60, with its 4x2 2WD chassis, provides adequate traction for lighter agricultural tasks but may struggle in uneven or muddy terrains compared to 4WD models. Its 3-speed transmission offers simplicity and reliability, though it limits operational speed variations, which may affect performance efficiency depending on the load and working conditions. Overall, while suited for specific applications, users should consider the limited versatility and potential challenges on challenging soil types.
