ENGINE DETAIL
The Hesston 60-90 features a robust Fiat 8035.05 diesel engine with a relatively high displacement of 2.9 L and advanced direct injection for efficient fuel combustion. With a compact 3-cylinder design delivering 60 hp at 2500 RPM, it provides a favorable power-to-weight ratio, although its relatively high compression ratio of 17:1 may necessitate careful monitoring of fuel quality to avoid knocking. The inclusion of ether injection for pre-heating enhances cold start performance, making it suitable for diverse operational conditions, especially in colder climates.

HESSTON 60-90 TIRES
The Hesston 60-90 tractor features two tire configurations, with the 2WD version equipped with narrower front tires (7.50-16) and wider rear tires (16.9-30), which may offer better maneuverability on flat terrain but challenges in traction on inclines. The 4WD option, with front tires (11.2-24) providing increased surface area, enhances stability and traction in various field conditions, making it preferable for challenging terrains such as slopes or muddy fields. Potential disadvantages include higher operational costs and maintenance needs for the 4WD system compared to the simpler 2WD setup.
