ENGINE DETAIL
The Hart-Parr 16-30, with its 464.6 ci (7.6 L) 2-cylinder gasoline engine and a bore/stroke ratio of 6.50x7.00 inches, is designed for heavy-duty agricultural tasks, providing high torque at low RPMs (750). Its dry air cleaner is relatively low maintenance, but the heavy displacement may lead to challenges in fuel efficiency. Ideal for farming scenarios requiring sustained power, it can handle plowing and cultivation, but operators should be prepared for a trade-off between power and fuel consumption.

TRANSMISSION
The Hart-Parr 16-30 tractor features a simple two-forward and one-reverse gear setup, which facilitates basic maneuverability but may limit operational speed and versatility in varied terrain. Its mechanical dry disc clutch enhances reliability and ease of maintenance, though it may require more effort compared to hydraulic systems during engagement. This configuration makes it ideal for straightforward agricultural tasks, but less suitable for complex operations requiring frequent speed changes.

MECHANICAL
The Hart-Parr 16-30, featuring a 4x2 2WD chassis, offers excellent stability on flat terrain but may struggle in muddy or hilly conditions due to its limited traction. The manual steering system provides direct feedback, although it may require more effort during tight maneuvers. Its open operator station enhances visibility and airflow, which is advantageous in warm conditions, but exposes the operator to weather elements and reduces comfort during prolonged use.

HART-PARR 16-30 TIRES
The Hart-Parr 16-30 tractor features a robust steel construction with its front tires measuring 28x5 and rear tires 52x10, offering enhanced durability and traction for heavy agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires provide improved stability and weight distribution, particularly useful for plowing and cultivating operations. However, the all-steel tire design may lead to increased traction but can result in a harsher ride on uneven terrain, potentially impacting operator comfort.
