ENGINE DETAIL

The Huber 15-30 Super Four features a liquid-cooled 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 382 ci (6.3 L), ideal for agricultural applications requiring steady power at a low-rated RPM of 1000. The bore and stroke measurements of 4.50x6.00 inches (114 x 152 mm) suggest a torque-oriented design, optimizing performance in heavy-duty tasks such as plowing or tilling. However, the low RPM might limit its top-end speed, making it less suitable for transport purposes compared to tractors with higher-rated RPMs.
