ENGINE DETAIL
The Farmall 130, equipped with a C-123 gasoline engine, features a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled design with a displacement of 2.0 L and a compression ratio of 6.8:1, optimizing fuel efficiency for light to moderate agricultural tasks. With a rated RPM of 1400, it offers a balanced performance for fieldwork but may be limited in power delivery for more demanding applications, making it ideal for smaller farms. Key maintenance considerations include its 6-volt starter system and an oil bath air cleaner, which may require regular attention to ensure reliable operation and longevity.

FARMALL 130 ENGINE
The Farmall 130 features a 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing a good balance of power and efficiency for small to medium-sized farming tasks. Its 11-gallon fuel tank allows for extended operation, reducing the frequency of refueling during longer jobs; however, the gasoline engine may be less efficient compared to diesel counterparts, leading to higher fuel costs over time. Ideal for tasks like tilling, plowing, and mowing, the Farmall 130 is well-suited for versatile farm operations but may struggle with heavier loads or extensive fieldwork due to its lower horsepower compared to larger models.

TRANSMISSION
The Farmall 130 features a sliding gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing simplicity in operation but limited speed options, which may not be suitable for high-speed applications. The dry disc clutch offers moderate engagement efficiency and ease of maintenance, though it can be less forgiving in conditions requiring frequent starts and stops. This tractor is well-suited for small to medium farming operations, particularly in tasks like tilling and planting, where reliable torque at lower speeds is essential.

MECHANICAL
The Farmall 130 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers simplicity and reduced weight, but may struggle with traction on uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. The manual steering enhances operator control but may require more effort during long working hours. While the differential mechanical contracting band brakes are effective for maintenance, they could present challenges in terms of responsiveness compared to modern hydraulic systems, and the open operator station may expose the driver to weather conditions during operation.

FARMALL 130 TIRES
The Farmall 130 tractor features Ag front tires of size 5.00x15 and rear tires of 9.00x24, which provide good traction and stability for various farming tasks. The tire size configuration indicates a balance between maneuverability and load-carrying capacity, making it suitable for light to medium-duty applications in fields or orchards. However, the limited tire size may pose challenges in wet or uneven terrain, potentially affecting its overall performance especially in heavier soil conditions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Farmall 130 tractor, with a wheelbase of 71 inches, provides excellent maneuverability for tight field conditions. Weighing 2,800 lbs enhances stability, beneficial for tasks like plowing or cultivate operations in varying terrain. However, the smaller front tires (5.00x15) may limit traction in soft soil, potentially necessitating rear tire weight adjustments for optimal performance.
