CUSTOM B ENGINE
The Chrysler 3.6L 6-cylinder gasoline engine offers a balance of power and efficiency, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural tasks. Its robust design provides ample torque for towing and heavy lifting, while the gasoline fuel type can offer advantages in lower initial costs and easier maintenance compared to diesel engines. However, be mindful of fuel economy, as gasoline engines typically have lower efficiency under prolonged heavy load conditions.

TRANSMISSION
The Custom B tractor features a four-speed forward and one-speed reverse gear system, providing versatility for various tasks such as plowing or towing. The [-|-] gear type indicates a specific gearing mechanism, potentially influencing torque delivery and fuel efficiency. While the four forward gears enhance operational flexibility, the lack of additional reverse gears may limit maneuverability in tight spaces.

MECHANICAL
The Custom B tractor’s 4x2 2WD chassis offers basic traction suitable for light to moderate tasks, but it may struggle on uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. Drum brakes provide reliable stopping power under normal operating conditions, though they may require more maintenance due to heat buildup during prolonged use. The 4-speed gear transmission allows for straightforward operation, but limited gear ratios might hinder performance in varied applications, particularly in steep or heavily loaded scenarios.

CUSTOM B TIRES
The Custom B tractor features a 6x16 front tire configuration and a 10x38 rear tire setup, which provides a balanced weight distribution and enhanced traction for agricultural applications. The larger rear tires offer improved stability and performance in loose soil conditions, though they may require more horsepower to operate efficiently. This configuration is ideal for field work, but be cautious of potential soil compaction due to the increased surface area of the rear tires.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Custom B tractor features a relatively short wheelbase of 88 inches (223 cm), which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces but may affect stability at higher speeds. Weighing 3,450 lbs (1564 kg), it provides a solid base for various attachments but may limit its performance on steep gradients. The front tire size of 6x16 supports agility, while the larger rear tires of 10x38 facilitate effective traction for heavier loads, making it suitable for small to medium-scale agricultural tasks.
