ENGINE DETAIL

The Farmall 200 tractor features a robust International Harvester C123 engine with a relatively low compression ratio of 6.5:1, enhancing its fuel compatibility but limiting high-power output. With a displacement of 2.0 L and rated RPM at 1400, it is well-suited for low-speed, high-torque applications typical in farming operations. However, the 6-volt starter system may present challenges in cold weather starting, necessitating potential upgrades for improved reliability.

FARMALL 200 ENGINE

The Farmall 200 features a reliable 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing adequate power for general farming tasks. Its compact design enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small to medium-sized farms. However, its lower horsepower compared to modern tractors may limit its efficiency in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION

The Farmall 200 tractor features a sliding gear transmission with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse, providing basic yet reliable speed control for agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch offers straightforward operation and maintenance, enhancing durability but may require more effort compared to wet clutches in high-usage scenarios. Users should consider the limited gear range for diverse applications, as it may affect performance in varied field conditions.

MECHANICAL

The Farmall 200 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides basic traction suitable for light-duty tasks but may struggle in muddy or hilly conditions. The manual steering and differential mechanical dry disc brakes enhance operator control but lack the responsiveness of modern power steering and wet brake systems. The 4-speed sliding gear transmission allows for varying speed selection, making it versatile for different farming operations; however, operators may face challenges with gear shifting under load.

FARMALL 200 TIRES

The Farmall 200 tractor, equipped with 5.00-15 Ag front tires and 10-36 Ag rear tires, offers a favorable balance of traction and maneuverability on various terrains. The larger rear tires enhance stability and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for plowing and heavy tillage applications. However, limited tire sizes may restrict adaptability to specialized implements or excessively soft ground conditions.
