FORD 1620 ENGINE

The Ford 1620 tractor is powered by a Shibaura 1.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which provides a balance of efficiency and power suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. With a 7.1-gallon fuel tank, it offers reasonable operational range, allowing extended use without frequent refueling. However, its small displacement may limit performance in demanding conditions, making it less ideal for heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION

The Ford 1620 tractor, equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, offers seamless control with infinite forward and reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces. This type of transmission allows for precise speed adjustments without shifting, ideal for tasks requiring gradual acceleration or deceleration, such as loader work and tilling. However, hydrostatic systems can be less efficient in terms of fuel consumption compared to traditional gear-driven systems during prolonged use.

Gears infinite forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Ford 1620 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, enhancing operator ease with seamless speed control, particularly beneficial for tasks requiring fine maneuverability. Its robust wet disc brake system offers reliable stopping power, reducing maintenance frequency compared to standard brakes, a key advantage in demanding conditions. However, the absence of a full cab limits operator protection against environmental elements, potentially impacting ease of use in adverse weather.

FORD 1620 TIRES

The Ford 1620 tractor offers a versatile configuration with both 2WD and 4WD options, enabling adaptability for various agricultural tasks. The 2WD standard configuration with 5.00-15 front and 9.5-24 rear tires is suitable for less demanding terrain, while the 4WD setup with 6-14 front tires enhances traction on uneven or slippery surfaces, improving stability and performance. However, the 4WD variant can introduce additional complexity in maintenance and higher operational costs; thus, it is ideally suited for diverse working conditions or challenging landscapes.
