ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Ferguson A tractor is powered by either a Coventry-Climax or David Brown 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing a balance of torque and power suitable for small to medium farming tasks. Its lightweight design enhances maneuverability, but the limited horsepower may pose challenges in heavy-duty applications or when towing larger implements. Ideal for small farms or specialized tasks, it excels in cultivating and light hauling, making it a versatile option for specific agricultural needs.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Ferguson A features a Coventry-Climax 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing a balanced output of 20 hp at a low operational speed of 1400 RPM. This lower RPM can enhance fuel efficiency and reduce engine wear, making it suitable for agricultural tasks requiring consistent power without significant torque shifts. However, its relatively modest horsepower may limit its applications in high-demand farming scenarios, such as heavy tillage or extensive hauling.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Ferguson A tractor features a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine with a displacement of 122.7 cubic inches (2.0 L) and is rated for 1400 RPM, providing moderate torque suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its lower RPMs can enhance fuel efficiency but may limit performance in high-demand scenarios, such as heavy tilling or fast transport. Overall, the Ferguson A is advantageous for smaller farms requiring reliable power for basic operations, though it may struggle with larger implements.

TRANSMISSION
The Ferguson A tractor features a simple [-|-] gear transmission with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing basic maneuverability for agricultural tasks. This straightforward gearing system can be advantageous for ease of operation and maintenance, particularly suitable for farmers with limited experience. However, the limited number of gears may challenge performance in diverse terrain or when needing precise speed control.

| Gears | 3 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Ferguson A tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides limited traction in slippery conditions compared to 4WD systems, making it more suitable for flat, dry terrains. Its manual steering and drum brakes may limit responsiveness and stopping power, particularly under heavier loads or rugged conditions. The 3-speed transmission allows for moderate versatility; however, it may restrict operational speed ranges, impacting productivity on varied terrain.
