ENGINE DETAIL
The Happy Farmer B 12-24 tractor features a robust 2-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 6.0 L, which provides substantial torque suitable for plowing and heavy-duty tasks, particularly in colder climates due to its kerosene fuel compatibility. With a bore/stroke ratio of 5.75x7.00 inches, it ensures a good balance between power and efficiency, although the lower rated RPM of 750 may limit speed during transit. Utilizing a Kingston carburetor can simplify maintenance but may present challenges in optimizing fuel-air mixture under varying load conditions, affecting overall performance.
