ENGINE DETAIL
The B.F. Avery A tractor features a Hercules IXK 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 123 cubic inches (2.0 L), providing a balance between power and fuel efficiency at a rated RPM of 1450. Its bore and stroke dimensions (3.125 x 4.00 inches) suggest a good torque profile, ideal for moderate agricultural tasks. However, its relatively low RPM may limit high-speed applications, making it best suited for operations requiring consistent power over longer periods, like plowing or tilling.

B.F. AVERY A ENGINE
The B.F. Avery A tractor is powered by a Hercules 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offering a balance of moderate power output and fuel efficiency. Its lightweight design enhances maneuverability, making it suitable for smaller farms or garden operations. However, the reliance on gasoline may limit its operational cost-effectiveness compared to diesel alternatives, especially in high-utilization scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The B.F. Avery A tractor features an unsynchronized gearbox with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear, which can pose shifting challenges under load due to the lack of synchronization. This configuration is advantageous for simple operations in low-speed applications, such as tilling or pulling implements, but may limit efficiency in tasks requiring rapid speed changes. Operators should be cautious when engaging gears to avoid wear on the transmission components.

| Gears | 3 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The B.F. Avery A tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for light to moderate fieldwork but may struggle on uneven terrain or in wet conditions. The open operator station offers enhanced visibility but exposes the operator to the elements, making it less comfortable for extended use. Its 3-speed unsynchronized gear transmission, while simple, limits efficient gear shifting under load, potentially affecting operational speed and power delivery during tasks.
