ENGINE DETAIL

The Huber LC tractor's Waukesha VIK engine, with a displacement of 5.5L, delivers robust power for heavy-duty tasks, ideal for applications requiring sustained torque at low RPM (1200), facilitating smooth operation. The oil bath air cleaner enhances dust filtration, promoting better engine longevity in dusty environments. However, the tractor's relatively low RPM may limit its speed for certain high-demand applications, necessitating careful use depending on the intended operational scenarios.

HUBER LC ENGINE

The Huber LC tractor features a Waukesha 5.5L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing a balance of power and efficiency for medium-duty applications. Its gasoline configuration offers advantages such as lower initial costs and easier refueling compared to diesel engines, but it may have higher fuel consumption and lower torque at lower RPMs. This tractor is well-suited for farming or utility tasks where moderate power and ease of use are paramount, albeit with the consideration of increased operational costs over time due to fuel consumption.

TRANSMISSION

The Huber LC tractor features a [-|-] gear type with a 3 forward and 1 reverse configuration, facilitating basic maneuverability in various agricultural tasks. The simplicity of the gear system can be advantageous for operators needing ease of use, especially in confined spaces. However, the limited number of gears may pose challenges in varied terrain conditions, potentially affecting power and speed management during operation.

Gears 3 forward and 1 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Huber LC tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and lower maintenance but may struggle with traction in challenging terrains compared to 4WD options. Its manual steering provides a cost-effective solution, although it may require more physical effort from the operator. The 3-speed gear transmission allows for moderate speed control, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks but limiting versatility for diverse applications or heavy-duty use.
