ENGINE DETAIL
The Ferguson TEF-20 tractor features a diesel 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2.1L, which provides efficient torque for agricultural tasks at a rated RPM of 2000, making it suitable for plowing and heavy lifting. Its electric starter with 12-volt system ensures reliable ignition, enhancing usability in various conditions. However, the engine's relatively limited power output may pose challenges in high-demand applications or steep terrains, necessitating careful task selection.

FERGUSON TEF-20 ENGINE
The Ferguson TEF-20 is equipped with a 2.1L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for light agricultural tasks. This engine configuration allows for better fuel economy and lower operational costs compared to larger engines, making it advantageous for small-scale farmers. However, the limited horsepower may challenge performance in heavier applications, such as plowing or hauling.

TRANSMISSION
The Ferguson TEF-20 features an unsynchronized 4-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gearbox, which can lead to challenges in smooth gear changes, particularly under load. Its simplicity is an advantage for maintenance, but operators may need experience to avoid grinding during shifts. Ideal for light agricultural tasks, this setup may limit efficiency in more demanding applications that require frequent gear changes.

| Gears | 4 forward and 1 reverse |
SPEEDS
| Description | With 10x28 rear tires |
MECHANICAL
The Ferguson TEF-20 features a lightweight 4x2 2WD chassis, which enhances maneuverability for small to medium farming operations but limits traction on uneven terrain. The manual steering provides essential operator feedback, yet it requires more physical effort compared to power steering options, potentially leading to fatigue during long hours. Its 4-speed unsynchronized gearbox allows for simplicity in operation, but shifts may require more driver skill, particularly when implementing variable workloads or adapting to differing field conditions.
