FARMALL 564 ENGINE

The Farmall 564 features a robust International Harvester 3.4L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency, crucial for tasks like tilling and plowing. Its compact design enhances maneuverability in tight spaces but may limit power in heavy-duty applications compared to larger models. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, it combines versatility with ease of maintenance, although operators should be aware of potential challenges in parts availability due to its age.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Farmall 564 tractor features an 8-speed partially synchronized transmission and a 12-speed partial power shift, providing a balance between ease of operation and adaptability for various field conditions. The partially synchronized system allows smoother gear transitions, enhancing operator comfort, but may still require attentiveness during shifting under load. Optimal for medium-duty tasks, this setup is ideal for farmers requiring both versatility and efficiency in their workflow.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Farmall 564 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for smoother gear shifts and versatility in various field tasks. Its oil capacity of 44.4 quarts (42.0 liters) supports better engine lubrication, which is critical for prolonged operational efficiency. However, the partially synchronized design may require more driver skill to execute seamless shifts, potentially increasing the learning curve for less experienced operators.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Farmall 564's Agriomatic S transmission offers increased operational flexibility with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, enhancing efficiency for various farming tasks. Its partial power shift design allows for undershift in high and overshift in low ranges, which can improve maneuverability but may require operator familiarity for optimal use. The 37-quart oil capacity supports adequate lubrication, although regular maintenance is critical to prevent overheating during heavy-duty operations.

Transmission Agriomatic S
Type partial power shift
Gears 12 forward and 4 reverse
Oil capacity 37qts / 35.0L
Description The Agriomatic S provides an additional four forward speeds selected by a right-hand power shift lever. Pushing the lever forward engages the Agriomatic range, while rearward uses the conventional range. The Agriomatic speeds are between high and low ranges, so this provides an undershift in high range and an overshift in low range. In reverse range it operates as a power shuttle

MECHANICAL

The Farmall 564 features a 4x2 configuration with the option for 4WD, enhancing traction and stability in diverse agricultural conditions. Its manual steering may limit maneuverability compared to power-assisted alternatives, while the dry disc brakes provide reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance. The 8-speed and 12-speed transmission options allow for flexibility in speed and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for various farming tasks, though the partially synchronized design may impact shifting comfort under load.

FARMALL 564 TIRES

The Farmall 564 tractor features versatile ag tire options, allowing for customized performance across various terrains and load requirements. The front tires, 6.50-16, provide a good balance between stability and maneuverability, while the rear tire options range broadly from 13.6-30 to 18.4-15-30, offering enhanced traction and flotation for different farming conditions. However, selecting larger rear tires may affect power loss during turns and increase soil compaction; thus, evaluating the specific operational scenarios is crucial for optimal performance.
