ENGINE DETAIL
The Hefty G tractor is powered by a Continental R800 engine, delivering 27 hp at 3300 RPM, with a compression ratio of 8:1, facilitating decent torque and efficiency for light agricultural tasks. The use of a liquid-cooled system aids in thermal management, but the engine's small displacement (51.6 ci) may limit performance under heavy loads or in demanding conditions. Advantages include an electric starter for ease of use and a straightforward firing order (1-3-4-2) that contributes to smoother engine operation.

HEFTY G ENGINE
The Hefty G tractor is equipped with a Continental 0.8L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, which offers a balance of power and fuel efficiency for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact size allows for maneuverability in tighter spaces; however, the small engine capacity may limit its performance in heavy-duty applications. Ideal for small farms or landscaping operations, this tractor suits users requiring agility rather than sheer power.

TRANSMISSION
The Hefty G tractor features a 6-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, allowing for enhanced operational flexibility and improved torque delivery across varying terrain. This gear configuration is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed control, although it may present a learning curve for operators accustomed to simpler transmissions. Optimal scenarios for this tractor include agricultural operations or heavy-duty tasks where varied speeds and controlled maneuvers are essential.

MECHANICAL
The Hefty G tractor features a 4x2 2WD configuration, providing basic traction suitable for lighter agricultural tasks but limitations in slippery or hilly terrain. The manual steering enhances operator control but may lead to fatigue during extended use, especially without a cab for weather protection. The 6-speed gear transmission allows for versatile speed adjustments, optimizing performance for various agricultural operations, although it may lack the efficiency and ease of modern hydrostatic systems in demanding conditions.

HEFTY G TIRES
The Hefty G tractor features front tires sized 5.00x15 and rear tires 9.5x24, offering a balanced load distribution for agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires enhance traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it suitable for pulling heavy implements. However, the smaller front tires may exhibit limited flotation in soft field conditions, which could lead to steering challenges in mud or wet areas.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Hefty G tractor features a compact wheelbase of 72 inches, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small-scale farming or landscaping tasks. Weighing 2100 lbs, it provides a balance between stability and agility, but its lower weight may limit traction on steeper inclines. The larger rear tires (9.5x24) improve grip and allow for better load distribution, although they may require specific terrain management to prevent soil compaction.
