ENGINE DETAIL
The Hesston 65-56 tractor, equipped with the Fiat 8045.06 diesel engine, features a robust 3.6 L, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled design with a direct injection fuel system, providing a compression ratio of 17:1 for efficient power delivery at 65 hp. Key advantages include its ample torque characteristics, ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks, while a peak power RPM of 2500 allows for adequate operational efficiency. However, the compact displacement may present challenges in heavy-load scenarios; therefore, it is best suited for lighter applications such as small-scale farming or hay production.

HESSTON 65-56 ENGINE
The Hesston 65-56 tractor is powered by a robust Fiat 3.6L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance of torque and fuel efficiency suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Key advantages include its durability and ease of maintenance due to the simplicity of the diesel engine design. However, potential challenges may arise in parts availability and service, given its specialized market position, thus impacting long-term operational efficiency if sourcing components becomes difficult.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Hesston 65-56 tractor features an 8-speed and a 12-speed partially synchronized transmission, allowing for smoother gear shifts and improved torque management during various field operations. The partially synchronized design enhances operator control, particularly in varied terrain scenarios, but may require more user skill to optimize shifting performance. Ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks, it balances power with ease of operation, though frequent gear shifting may be less intuitive than fully synchronized systems.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Hesston 65-56 features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for increased flexibility in various field conditions. The four-speed configuration across two ranges (I/II) aids in optimal torque delivery and efficiency for both low-speed tasks like tilling and high-speed tasks like transport. A potential challenge is the learning curve when shifting gears due to the partial synchronization, which may require more operator skill for smooth transitions.
| Type |

| Gears |
8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Description |
Four gears (1-4), plus reverse (R), in two ranges (I/II) |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Hesston 65-56 features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, providing flexibility in various terrain and operational conditions. The three-range system (I, II, III) allows for optimized torque management, which is ideal for tasks requiring different power outputs. However, the partially synchronized nature may present a challenge during rapid gear shifts in demanding applications, requiring operator skill for seamless transitions.

MECHANICAL
The Hesston 65-56 features a 4x2, 2WD, or 4x4 MFWD configuration for versatile traction options, making it suitable for various terrain types. The ROPS with canopy enhances operator safety while maintaining visibility. Its 8-speed or 12-speed partially synchronized transmissions allow for efficient power management, though twisted gear engagement could present a challenge in varying load conditions.

HESSTON 65-56 TIRES
The Hesston 65-56 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, providing flexibility for different agricultural applications. The 2WD version with standard ag tires (7.50-16 front, 14.9-30 rear) is suitable for flatter terrains but may struggle in muddy conditions, while the 4WD variant with larger front tires (9.5-24) enhances traction and stability on uneven or soft ground. Consider the farming landscape and load requirements when choosing between the two, as 4WD offers improved performance in challenging conditions but may incur higher operational costs.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Hesston 65-56 tractor features a compact 2WD wheelbase of 85.3 inches, enhancing maneuverability, while the 4WD variant offers a slightly shorter wheelbase of 83.7 inches, improving traction in diverse terrain. Weighing between 4,900 to 5,720 pounds, it provides stability, making it suitable for medium-duty applications; however, its weight range may limit transportability in certain situations. The combination of front tires sized 7.50-16 and 14.9-30 rear tires allows for effective power transfer, but tire selection might need adjustment based on specific field conditions.
