FARMALL 564 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Farmall 564 features a robust D-206 diesel engine with 60hp that operates at a maximum rated RPM of 2180, providing a solid torque of 155.5 lb-ft at 1600 RPM, which is advantageous for tasks requiring consistent power at lower speeds. The 9.5 quarts oil capacity ensures effective lubrication for prolonged operational efficiency, while the 18.5 quarts coolant capacity supports optimal thermal management, crucial for maintaining engine performance during intensive tasks. However, challenges may include maintenance of the liquid-cooled system and ensuring compatibility with implements that may demand higher horsepower for extensive fieldwork.

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.

| 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.
