ENGINE DETAIL
The Farmtrac 60 tractor, powered by a 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a balance of torque and power with 137 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks like plowing and hauling. Its 16.3:1 compression ratio and liquid cooling system ensure efficient operation and heat management, while the dual dry element air cleaner enhances engine longevity by minimizing dust intake. However, its lower horsepower (49.7 hp) may limit performance in heavy-duty applications, suggesting a best fit for smaller farms or light to medium-duty use.

FARMTRAC 60 ENGINE
The Farmtrac 60 is powered by a robust Escorts 3.1L 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering efficient torque and fuel efficiency tailored for diverse agricultural tasks. Its compact design facilitates maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small to medium-sized farms. However, the three-cylinder configuration may result in higher vibration levels compared to four-cylinder engines, which could impact operator comfort during extended usage.

TRANSMISSION
The Farmtrac 60 features a constant mesh transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatility for varying field conditions. The necessity to stop and engage the clutch for shifting can be a disadvantage in time-sensitive operations, potentially reducing productivity during fieldwork. However, this design enhances durability and reliability, making it suitable for tasks that require consistent power transfer, such as plowing or hauling heavy loads.
| Type | constant mesh |
| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Description | Four gears, plus reverse, in high and low ranges. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift gears or range. |
MECHANICAL
The Farmtrac 60 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, ideal for flat terrains, enhancing maneuverability but limiting off-road capability. Its mechanical dry disc brakes offer reliable stopping power; however, they may require more maintenance than hydraulic systems. With an 8-speed constant mesh transmission, this tractor facilitates smooth shifting and adaptability for various field operations, making it suitable for small to medium farms.
