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.

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.
