CORBITT D-50 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Corbitt D-50 tractor is powered by a Hercules DIX4D 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 2.7 L, providing a robust torque profile for heavy-duty applications. With a moderate bore and stroke of 3.625 x 4.00 inches, it strikes a balance between power and efficiency, operating optimally at a rated RPM of 1500. The 6-volt starter system may present challenges in cold starting, but its simplicity offers ease of maintenance.

CORBITT D-50 ENGINE
The Corbitt D-50 tractor is powered by a Hercules 2.7L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a balance of efficiency and torque suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its compact size allows for maneuverability in tight spaces, while the diesel engine generally provides better fuel economy compared to gasoline engines. However, the limited displacement may result in reduced power output for heavier applications, requiring careful consideration of the tractor’s intended use.

TRANSMISSION
The Corbitt D-50 tractor features a 4-speed unsynchronized transmission, which allows for straightforward operation but may require the operator to match engine RPMs with wheel speeds for smoother gear shifts. This configuration can be advantageous for specific agricultural tasks needing incremental power adjustments, yet it may pose a challenge in instances requiring rapid gear changes. Operators should be aware that the lack of synchronization may lead to increased wear on the transmission if not managed properly.

MECHANICAL
The Corbitt D-50 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which enhances maneuverability in flat terrains but limits traction on uneven surfaces. Its differential mechanical drum brakes provide basic stopping power, making them suitable for lighter-duty tasks but may require more maintenance over time compared to hydraulic brakes. The 4-speed unsynchronized transmission offers simplicity and lower maintenance costs, though it may pose challenges in gear shifting, especially under load.

CORBITT D-50 TIRES
The Corbitt D-50 tractor features agricultural front tires sized 5.5x16 and rear tires sized 10x38, providing enhanced traction and stability for various field operations. The larger rear tires offer improved load-bearing capacity and better weight distribution, which can be advantageous in terrain with heavy implements. However, the limited front tire size may result in reduced steering responsiveness in certain conditions, affecting maneuverability in tight spaces.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Corbitt D-50 tractor boasts an 86-inch wheelbase, providing enhanced stability during operation, especially on uneven terrain. Weighing 3,567 lbs, it offers a solid balance between maneuverability and traction, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. However, its relatively narrow front tires (5.5x16) may limit traction in muddy conditions, requiring careful handling in wet scenarios regarding potential slippage.
