FERGUSON FE-35 POWER

Engine

34 hp/25.4 kW

ENGINES OVERVIEW

The Ferguson FE-35 features a choice between a 2.2L gasoline engine and a 2.3L diesel engine, providing flexibility in fuel type based on operational preference and availability. The gasoline engine offers quicker starts and lighter weight, making it suitable for tasks requiring fast response, while the diesel variant provides better torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for heavy-duty applications. Users should consider maintenance access and fuel costs associated with both engine types to optimize overall operational efficiency.

Description

Standard 2.2L 4-cyl gasoline/Standard 2.3L 4-cyl diesel

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The Ferguson FE-35 features a 2.2 L liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 133.5 ci, providing balanced power suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. The engine's bore and stroke ratio (3.425x3.622 inches) suggests a strong torque output for plowing and hauling. However, the 6-volt starter system may pose reliability issues in cold weather compared to modern 12-volt systems, potentially requiring additional battery management.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The Ferguson FE-35 features a robust 2.3 L, 4-cylinder diesel engine delivering 34 hp, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks while maintaining fuel efficiency. Its high compression ratio of 20:1 enhances power output and torque but may require high-quality fuel to avoid knocking. The 12V starter system ensures reliable starting in various conditions, providing a practical advantage in challenging environments.

FERGUSON FE-35 ENGINES

The Ferguson FE-35 features a 2.2L gasoline or a 2.3L diesel engine, providing versatility in fuel options for varying operational demands. The gasoline variant typically delivers higher RPMs for quicker acceleration but may compromise on fuel efficiency compared to the diesel, which offers robust torque for heavier pulling tasks. In scenarios requiring sustained work under load, the diesel engine may be advantageous, while the gasoline model might be preferred for lighter applications with quicker responsiveness.

TRANSMISSION

The Ferguson FE-35 tractor features an unsynchronized 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear transmission, which may require skillful shifting to avoid gear clash, particularly under load. The unsynchronized design offers simplicity and reliability but can lead to operator fatigue during repeated shifting. This tractor is well-suited for lighter agricultural tasks but may face challenges in heavy-duty applications due to its transmission limitations.

Type	unsynchronized gear
Gears	6 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Ferguson FE-35 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, suitable for light agricultural tasks but limiting stability on uneven terrain. Its manual steering can offer better feedback but may require more effort during operation, particularly at lower speeds. With a 6-speed unsynchronized gearbox, operators must master gear matching for smooth shifts, which can be challenging for inexperienced users but offers flexibility in varying field conditions.

DIMENSIONS

Operating weight

3093 lbs/1402 kg

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Ferguson FE-35, weighing 3093 lbs (1402 kg), is designed for optimal balance and stability, making it suitable for various field operations. This weight profile allows for better traction when plowing or performing heavy-duty tasks, but may present challenges on softer ground where sinkage could occur. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, its weight facilitates effective attachment of implements while promoting efficient fuel usage during operation.
