ENGINE DETAIL
The Farmtrac 80, powered by a Perkins 1004.42 diesel engine, offers a robust displacement of 4.2 L with direct injection, enabling efficient fuel combustion and potential for higher torque delivery at lower RPMs. With a power output of 72.4 hp at a rated RPM of 2200, this tractor is well-suited for medium-duty agricultural tasks, balancing performance with fuel efficiency. The dry element air cleaner ensures effective filtration, minimizing engine wear; however, it requires regular maintenance to sustain optimal engine performance.

FARMTRAC 80 ENGINE
The Farmtrac 80 features a robust Perkins 4.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable power and efficiency suitable for medium to large farming operations. With a fuel tank capacity of 21 gallons (79.5 liters), it offers extended operation time between refueling, ideal for long hours in the field. However, be mindful of potential weight distribution issues due to the engine size and fuel load, which can affect maneuverability in tight spaces.

TRANSMISSION
The Farmtrac 80 tractor features a 12-speed transmission with a dry disc clutch, enhancing versatility for various farming tasks. Its four gears across three ranges (low, medium, and high) and shuttle shift capability allow for smooth transitions and efficient operation, especially when changing direction frequently. However, the reliance on a dry disc clutch may present challenges in heavy-duty applications, where a wet clutch could offer better durability and smoother operation.

MECHANICAL
The Farmtrac 80 tractor offers versatile drivetrain options with both 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing traction in varied terrains. The mechanical rear differential lock aids in improving traction on slippery surfaces, while the power steering ensures ease of maneuverability. However, the open operator station may expose the operator to weather elements, potentially impacting comfort during extended use.

FARMTRAC 80 TIRES
The Farmtrac 80 tractor offers a robust option in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with standard agricultural tires that enhance traction and stability. The 2WD setup features narrower front tires that provide efficient maneuverability in less challenging terrains, while the 4WD variant, equipped with wider tires, excels in difficult conditions such as soft or muddy ground. Choosing between these options largely depends on the specific farming application; 2WD is ideal for flat, firm fields, whereas 4WD is preferable for hilly or variable terrain.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Farmtrac 80 tractor, weighing 5,675 lbs, offers a stable platform for farm operations with a 93-inch wheelbase in 2WD and a slightly shorter 91-inch wheelbase in 4WD, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces. The 7.50-16 front tires provide adequate load distribution, while the larger 16.9-30 rear tires are designed to optimize traction and stability during heavy-duty tasks, particularly in tilled or uneven terrain. However, the 2WD configuration may limit performance in muddy conditions compared to the 4WD option, which offers enhanced grip and mobility in challenging landscapes.
