FARMALL D-217 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Farmall D-217, powered by the International Harvester DD-74 diesel engine, provides a robust output of 17 hp and operates efficiently at 1900 RPM. With a high compression ratio of 19:1, it enhances fuel efficiency but may require careful handling of fuel quality to prevent knocking. Its moderate oil and coolant capacities (3.3 quarts and 10.6 quarts respectively) facilitate straightforward maintenance, making it suitable for small-scale farming tasks in varied conditions but may limit prolonged heavy usage without regular checks.

FARMALL D-217 ENGINE
The Farmall D-217 tractor, powered by a 1.2L 2-cylinder diesel engine, provides a compact and efficient powertrain suitable for small-scale farming operations. Its 7.1-gallon fuel tank allows for extended operation between refuels, ideal for tasks requiring moderate fuel consumption, although the limited horsepower may pose challenges in heavier-duty applications. Consider the D-217 for light tillage or planting scenarios where maneuverability and fuel efficiency are prioritized.

TRANSMISSION
The Farmall D-217 features a 6-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear configuration, allowing for efficient speed adjustment and maneuverability in various agricultural tasks. This gear ratio provides a balance between power and speed, making it suitable for both tilling and hauling operations. However, the limited reverse gear may pose a challenge when performing tasks requiring frequent backward movement, like cultivating or turning in tight spaces.

MECHANICAL
The Farmall D-217 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for various agricultural tasks but may struggle in soft or uneven terrain. Its manual steering system enhances driver control but could lead to operator fatigue during prolonged use. The 6-speed transmission allows for versatile speed adjustments, ideal for different field conditions, though shifting could be less seamless compared to modern hydrostatic alternatives.

FARMALL D-217 TIRES
The Farmall D-217 tractor features agricultural front tires sized 4.50x16 and rear tires that can be either 9x24 or 8x32, providing versatility for various field conditions. The narrower front tires enhance maneuverability in tight spaces, while the rear tire options enable the tractor to maintain stability and traction in different soil types and moisture conditions. A potential challenge may arise with tire compatibility and overall ride comfort when switching between rear tire sizes, affecting load distribution and power transfer.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Farmall D-217 weighs 2350 lbs (1065 kg), providing substantial stability for various field operations. Its front tire size of 4.50x16 offers decent maneuverability, while the larger rear tire size of 8x24 enhances traction and weight distribution, making it suitable for plowing and tilling tasks on moderate slopes. However, the tractor's weight and tire configuration may challenge performance on extremely loose or muddy terrains, potentially leading to tire slippage.
