ENGINE DETAIL

The Cletrac 80D features a Hercules DHX diesel engine with a substantial displacement of 707 ci (11.6 L), providing robust torque for heavy-duty applications. Its 6-cylinder configuration ensures smoother operation and lower vibration at the rated RPM of 1300, facilitating efficient fuel combustion and longevity. However, the large displacement may lead to higher fuel consumption, so optimizing operational practices is crucial in cost-sensitive scenarios.

CLETRAC 80D ENGINE

The Cletrac 80D features a Hercules 11.6L six-cylinder diesel engine, known for its robust torque output, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications like plowing and hauling. While it provides ample power, maintenance may challenge due to the complexity of the engine components and potential parts availability. This tractor excels in challenging terrains but may require more operator skill to manage effectively compared to modern machines with advanced technology.

TRANSMISSION

The Cletrac 80D features a dry clutch system, which provides reliable engagement but may lead to quicker wear under heavy use. Its three forward gears allow for varied speed adjustments, advantageous for different field conditions, while the single reverse gear limits maneuverability in tight spaces. Overall, this tractor is best suited for applications requiring straightforward operations but may be less effective in complex terrains or where rapid directional changes are necessary.

MECHANICAL

The Cletrac 80D features a crawler chassis, which enhances traction and stability on rough terrain, making it ideal for agricultural tasks or land management. The open operator station offers improved visibility but may expose the operator to harsh environmental conditions. Its 3-speed transmission allows for versatility in speed management, although limited gear options may present challenges in optimizing power for specific tasks.
