ENGINE DETAIL
The Denning E tractor is equipped with a liquid-cooled Waukesha 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offering a displacement of 202 ci (3.3 L) which provides adequate power for moderate agricultural tasks. With a bore and stroke of 3.50x5.25 inches (89 x 133 mm) and a rated RPM of 1200, it emphasizes torque over high speed, making it well-suited for plowing and heavy towing applications. The coolant capacity of 28 quarts (26.5 L) ensures effective temperature regulation, crucial for maintaining performance during prolonged operation in demanding conditions.

DENNING E ENGINE
The Denning E tractor is powered by a Waukeshaw 3.3L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offering a balance between power and efficiency in various agricultural applications. Its fuel capacity of 15 gallons (56.8 L) combined with a 5-gallon (18.9 L) auxiliary tank extends operational range, reducing downtime in the field. However, gasoline engines may face challenges with fuel volatility in extreme temperatures, and lower torque at low RPMs compared to diesel engines may impact performance in heavy-load scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Denning E tractor features a friction disc drive system, offering smooth power transfer and a relatively simple design, which can enhance maintenance accessibility. Its 6-speed forward and reverse gears provide flexibility for various applications, allowing optimal performance in both forward and reverse operations. However, operators should be aware that friction disc systems may have limitations in terms of torque transmission compared to more advanced drive mechanisms under heavy loads.

MECHANICAL
The Denning E tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides good traction on flat terrain but may struggle in heavy mud or uneven surfaces. Its manual steering offers simplicity and reduces maintenance needs but can increase operator fatigue over long periods. The 6-speed friction disc transmission allows for a range of speed settings, enhancing versatility for light agricultural tasks, though it may not provide the same smooth operation as modern hydrostatic systems.

DENNING E TIRES
The Denning E tractor features robust 46x10 steel agricultural rear wheels, enhancing durability and traction for diverse field operations. This specification allows for improved stability under load while minimizing compact soil disturbance, making it ideal for various tilling and planting applications. However, the weight of steel wheels can increase overall tractor mass, potentially impacting maneuverability in tighter spaces.
