ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Ferguson TO-35 is equipped with either a Continental 2.2L 4-cylinder gasoline engine or a Standard Diesel Company 2.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine, allowing for versatility in fuel choice. The gasoline variant typically offers higher RPMs for quicker response, while the diesel engine provides greater torque for heavy-duty tasks, making it suitable for both agricultural applications and light commercial use. Key considerations include the fuel efficiency and maintenance requirements of each engine type; diesel may have lower operating costs over time but could have higher initial maintenance due to more complex systems.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Ferguson TO-35 is powered by a Continental Z-134 gasoline engine, providing 134 ci (2.2L) displacement with a moderate compression ratio of 6.6:1, suitable for a balance of power and efficiency. Fuel consumption is relatively high at 2.761 gallons/hour (10.5 L/hour) at rated 2000 RPM, indicating possible operational costs. Its oil bath air cleaner enhances engine longevity by effectively managing dirt intake, while the option of 6V or 12V starter systems from serial number 161250 allows for adaptability in electrical systems.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Ferguson TO-35 features a robust Standard Diesel Company 23C engine, known for its 20:1 compression ratio which enhances torque delivery at a rated RPM of 2000, making it suitable for various agricultural applications. With a fuel consumption of approximately 2.249 gallons per hour, operators must account for fuel efficiency, particularly in extensive operations. The oil bath air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating system improve longevity and ease of starting in colder conditions, although maintenance of these components may pose challenges.

ENGINE OIL
The Ferguson TO-35 has an oil capacity of 7.5 quarts (7.1 liters), which ensures adequate lubrication of its engine components, enhancing performance longevity. It’s essential to maintain proper oil levels for optimal engine operation; insufficient oil can lead to increased wear and potential catastrophic failure. Regular oil changes, adhering to manufacturer specifications, can mitigate these risks and support overall tractor efficiency.

FERGUSON TO-35 ENGINES
The Ferguson TO-35 features both a Continental 2.2L 4-cylinder gasoline engine and a Standard Diesel Company 2.3L 4-cylinder diesel option, providing versatility in fuel type. Gasoline engines generally offer quicker starts and lower initial costs, while diesel engines boast superior torque output and fuel efficiency, making them advantageous for heavy-duty tasks. However, diesel variants can incur higher maintenance costs and may require more complex starting procedures.

TRANSMISSION
The Ferguson TO-35 features a dual-range transmission with unsynchronized gears, offering 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds, which enhances adaptability for various tasks but may require more operator skill due to lack of synchronization. The oil capacity of 32 quarts (30.3L) necessitates regular maintenance, particularly in cold weather conditions, using SAE 80 oil at temperatures around 50°F (10°C) to ensure optimal performance. An advantage of the range shift system is the ability to tailor speed and torque delivery, though operators must remember to set the lever to 'S' to safely start the tractor, highlighting the importance of operator familiarity with the controls.

FERGUSON TO-35 TRANSMISSION
The Ferguson TO-35 tractor features a 6-speed unsynchronized transmission, allowing for effective power management and versatility across various agricultural tasks. While the unsynchronized design can pose challenges in smooth shifting, it offers robust reliability in fields that demand consistent torque delivery. This tractor is ideal for operations requiring frequent gear changes, such as plowing or tilling, but may require operator skill to prevent potential grinding during shifts.
| Description | 6-speed unsynchronized gear |
MECHANICAL
The Ferguson TO-35 features a two-wheel drive system, which enhances fuel efficiency but may limit traction on uneven terrain. Manual steering can lead to operator fatigue during prolonged use, particularly in tight spaces. The mechanical expanding shoe brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
