ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case 30-60 tractor features a substantial kerosene-fueled, 2-cylinder engine with a high displacement of 30.9 L, which provides ample torque but may lead to higher operational costs. Its hand-crank starting system is less convenient in modern contexts, while the significant coolant capacity of 680 qts ensures effective engine temperature regulation, essential for prolonged heavy-duty operations. This tractor is ideally suited for large-scale farming tasks but may face challenges in parts availability and starting efficiency.

J.I. CASE 30-60 ENGINE
The J.I. Case 30-60 tractor features a robust 30.9L 2-cylinder kerosene engine, offering significant torque for heavy-duty plowing and tilling across diverse agricultural terrains. With a sizable 90-gallon fuel tank and an auxiliary 22-gallon capacity, it enables extended operational hours, which is advantageous for large-scale farming operations. However, the reliance on kerosene can limit fuel availability compared to diesel, potentially impacting logistics and efficiency in some scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The J.I. Case 30-60 features a gear transmission with a single forward gear, which simplifies operation but limits versatility in varying field conditions. This design prioritizes reliability and straightforward mechanics, making it easier to maintain while reducing potential transmission-related failures. However, the lack of multiple gears may pose challenges in terms of speed control and adaptability for different tasks, particularly in diverse agricultural environments.

MECHANICAL
The J.I. Case 30-60 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides limited traction on slippery terrain but is adequate for flat, dry fields. Its manual steering system offers simplicity and ease of maintenance, but may require more physical effort compared to power steering options. With a 1-speed transmission, this tractor is suited for specific tasks that do not demand variable speed, making it ideal for dedicated farm applications but less versatile for varied work scenarios.

J.I. CASE 30-60 TIRES
The J.I. Case 30-60 tractor features 72x24 steel agricultural rear wheels, which enhance durability and traction in field applications. This size is particularly advantageous for heavy-duty farming tasks, providing stability during plowing and cultivating. However, the weight distribution may pose challenges on soft or uneven terrain, potentially leading to soil compaction.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The J.I. Case 30-60 tractor, weighing 25,800 lbs (11,702 kg), offers significant traction and stability for heavy-duty agricultural tasks, particularly due to its oversized rear tires (72x24 inches). This tire specification provides enhanced flotation in soft soils, reducing ground compaction and improving plowing efficiency. However, the tractor's considerable weight may pose challenges in transportability and can require adequate power to maneuver effectively on inclines.
