ENGINE DETAIL
The Hart-Parr Old Reliable 30-60 features a robust 2-cylinder kerosene engine, with a significant displacement of 38.6L providing substantial torque for heavy-duty applications. Its large bore and stroke (10.00 x 15.00 inches) allow for efficient power delivery at a rated RPM of 300, making it suitable for challenging agricultural tasks. However, the increased coolant capacity in later models (up to 200 quarts) necessitates careful management and maintenance to prevent overheating during prolonged use.

TRANSMISSION
The Hart-Parr Old Reliable 30-60 features a simple one-speed gear transmission, offering only one forward and one reverse gear. This limitation can restrict operational flexibility and speed control, making it most suitable for flat terrains and specific field tasks. However, its straightforward design enhances reliability and ease of maintenance, making it a practical choice for vintage equipment enthusiasts or historical agricultural displays.

MECHANICAL
The Hart-Parr Old Reliable 30-60 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis and a manual steering system, offering straightforward maneuverability for basic agricultural tasks. Its open operator station with a steel canopy provides essential protection yet lacks climate control, which could impact operator comfort in extreme weather. The 1-speed transmission limits speed versatility, making it best suited for tasks requiring steady, low-speed operations rather than high-speed transport.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Hart-Parr Old Reliable 30-60 tractor, weighing 20,100 lbs (9,117 kg), features a robust construction ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks, but its weight may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces. The substantial weight provides excellent traction, making it suitable for plowing and hauling applications on challenging terrain. However, operators should consider potential challenges in transport and fuel efficiency, as heavier tractors may consume more fuel and require more substantial infrastructure for operation.
