ENGINE DETAIL
The Gibson Super D tractor features a lightweight Wisconsin AEH engine with a modest displacement of 23 ci (0.4 L) and a 1-cylinder air-cooled design, providing 6 hp (4.5 kW). Its bore/stroke ratio of 3.00x3.25 inches (76 x 83 mm) suggests a focus on torque, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks or small property maintenance. However, its limited horsepower and single-cylinder configuration may pose challenges for heavier workloads or prolonged operation under high loads.

TRANSMISSION
The Gibson Super D tractor features a 3-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, providing a straightforward gearing system suitable for simple agricultural tasks. The limited gear selection can be advantageous for ease of use and maintenance, but may pose challenges in navigating varied terrain or requiring precise speed control. Ideal for flat fields or light-duty applications, it may not be suitable for operations demanding higher versatility or speed variations.

MECHANICAL
The Gibson Super D tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for flat terrain but may struggle in muddy or uneven conditions. The manual steering offers simplicity and ease of maintenance but can require more effort during tight maneuvers, particularly in larger fields. Its 3-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed management, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks, although it may limit performance in high-horsepower applications compared to modern multi-speed transmissions.

GIBSON SUPER D TIRES
The Gibson Super D tractor, equipped with 4.00x12 AG front tires, offers good traction and stability for agricultural tasks, particularly in fieldwork scenarios. The narrow profile of the tires is advantageous for maneuvering in tight spaces, but it may compromise flotation on softer soils, leading to potential issues with soil compaction. Ensure appropriate tire pressure is maintained for optimal performance and longevity in various terrains.
DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Gibson Super D tractor features front tires sized 4.00x12, which indicates a narrower profile suited for maneuverability in tight spaces. The smaller diameter may enhance agility but could limit traction on uneven terrain, making it ideal for light-duty applications such as small farm operations or gardens. It's essential to match the tire selection with the intended usage scenarios to ensure optimal performance and stability.
