ENGINE DETAIL
The Avery 18-36 tractor features a robust 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a significant displacement of 570.2 ci (9.3 L), providing ample torque for various agricultural tasks, although the 27 hp output at a low 800 RPM may limit high-speed applications. The liquid-cooled system with a 132 qt (124.9 L) capacity is advantageous for prolonged operations in warmer climates, but it adds weight which can impact maneuverability. Overall, this tractor excels in heavy-duty, low-speed applications, making it suitable for plowing and tilling in expansive fields.

AVERY 18-36 ENGINE
The Avery 18-36 tractor features a robust 9.3L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing substantial torque for agricultural tasks, which can enhance productivity in plowing and hauling. With a fuel tank capacity of 27 gallons (102.2 liters) and an auxiliary tank of 6 gallons (22.7 liters), it allows for extended operating hours without frequent refueling, an advantage in large fields. However, the gasoline fuel type may limit efficiency compared to diesel options, especially in terms of fuel economy and operational costs over long-term use.

TRANSMISSION
The Avery 18-36 tractor features a simple two-speed forward and one-speed reverse gear system, which is advantageous for ease of use in basic agricultural tasks. However, the limited gearing options may challenge operators needing more versatility for varying terrain or load conditions. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, this tractor excels in straightforward plowing or hauling but may not perform optimally in more demanding environments requiring extensive gear ratios.

| Gears | 2 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Avery 18-36 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing adequate traction for light to moderate agricultural tasks but may struggle in challenging terrain. Its manual steering system offers simplicity and reliability, albeit at the cost of ease of maneuverability, especially under load. The 2-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in fieldwork, catering to both transport and operational speeds, though it may limit performance in steep inclines compared to tractors with multi-speed or hydrostatic options.

AVERY 18-36 TIRES
The Avery 18-36 tractor features a dual-wheel configuration with 35x8 steel front wheels and robust 65x20 steel rear wheels, which enhances traction and stability during field operations. The larger rear wheels contribute to improved power transfer and better load-bearing capacity, beneficial for heavy tillage or hauling applications. However, the steel material may increase overall tractor weight and reduce maneuverability on softer terrains, so consider ground conditions when deploying this model.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Avery 18-36 tractor, weighing 9,250 lbs, is designed for robust agricultural tasks, offering significant stability due to its sizeable rear tires (65x20) that enhance traction on uneven terrain. The comparatively smaller front tires (35x8) may limit steering maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. Operators should consider the tractor's weight and tire size when maneuvering in soft ground conditions, as excessive weight could lead to compaction or rutting.
