ENGINE DETAIL
The Hart-Parr 17-30 features a robust 2-cylinder engine with a significant displacement of 1654 ci (27.1 L), offering high torque suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its large bore and stroke (9.00x13.00 inches) indicate a design optimized for low-end power delivery but may result in higher fuel consumption and increased wear over time. This tractor excels in durability and power, making it ideal for less frequent, intensive fieldwork, but may pose challenges in terms of maneuverability and fuel efficiency compared to modern tractors.

HART-PARR 17-30 ENGINE
The Hart-Parr 17-30 features a robust 27.1L 2-cylinder engine, which provides significant torque for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its large displacement enables efficient power delivery at lower RPMs, beneficial for plowing and tilling. However, the dual-cylinder configuration may result in higher vibrations and maintenance needs compared to modern multi-cylinder engines.

TRANSMISSION
The Hart-Parr 17-30 tractor features a gear transmission, which provides direct mechanical power transfer for improved torque management during heavy-duty operations. However, the absence of a more advanced transmission system may limit speed variability and ease of operation compared to modern hydrostatic systems. This tractor is best suited for continuous fieldwork where consistent power delivery is essential, but operators might face challenges with gear shifting under load.
MECHANICAL
The Hart-Parr 17-30 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel drive (2WD) chassis, which is advantageous for lighter agricultural tasks and provides adequate traction on firm surfaces. However, this configuration may face challenges in navigating uneven terrain or wet conditions where 4WD would offer enhanced stability and control. Best suited for small to medium-sized farms primarily operating on flat, well-drained fields.
