ENGINE DETAIL
The Keck-Gonnerman 30-60 tractor features a robust 665 ci (10.9 L) 4-cylinder LeRoi engine fueled by kerosene, optimized for agricultural applications. Its significant bore and stroke dimensions (5.50 x 7.00 inches) allow for enhanced torque at lower RPMs, ideal for heavy plowing tasks. The dual starter options (hand-crank/electric) provide versatility, though the hand-crank can be labor-intensive and demand physical effort, especially in colder conditions.

TRANSMISSION
The Keck-Gonnerman 30-60 tractor features a simple gear system with 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, which may limit speed and versatility in varied terrain. This basic configuration is advantageous for straightforward tasks but could pose challenges in operations requiring rapid directional changes or fine control. Ideal for farming applications where consistent speed and torque are prioritized, but not suitable for complex maneuvering.

MECHANICAL
The Keck-Gonnerman 30-60 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel drive system, which may limit traction on uneven terrain but enhances maneuverability in flat fields. Its manual steering can offer a more tactile driving experience but might be less efficient than power steering in tight spaces. The 2-speed gear transmission allows flexibility in speed settings, making it suitable for both heavy pulling tasks and lighter applications, reflecting its multi-purpose utility in farming scenarios.

KECK-GONNERMAN 30-60 TIRES
The Keck-Gonnerman 30-60 tractor features a robust Ag rear tire size of 56x14, providing substantial traction and stability for agricultural applications. The steel construction of the tires enhances durability but may lead to a harsher ride on uneven terrain. Opting for this tractor is advantageous for heavy towing and plowing scenarios, though operators should be cautious of potential soil compaction due to the tire design.
