ENGINE DETAIL

The Advance-Rumely OilPull Y 30/50 features a robust 2-cylinder kerosene engine with a displacement of 910.8 cubic inches, providing significant torque for heavy-duty applications. Key advantages include its liquid-cooled system, which enhances engine longevity and performance efficiency, though the large coolant capacity of 92 quarts means additional maintenance considerations. Operating at a rated RPM of just 635, this tractor is optimized for low-speed, high-torque tasks, making it ideal for plowing and hauling in agricultural settings.

MECHANICAL

The Advance-Rumely OilPull Y 30/50 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing adequate traction for agricultural tasks, though it may struggle in muddy or uneven terrain due to its lack of AWD. The open operator station enhances visibility but offers minimal protection against the elements. Its 3-speed transmission allows for moderate speed control, making it suitable for various farm applications, yet may limit operational flexibility compared to modern multi-speed transmissions.
