ENGINE DETAIL
The Leader B tractor is powered by a Hercules IXB gasoline engine with a displacement of 2.2 L, delivering 31 hp at a rated RPM of 1800, which provides efficient low-end torque ideal for heavy-duty tasks. Liquid cooling allows for sustained operation under load, preventing overheating, while the Zenith carburetor offers simplicity in tuning and maintenance. However, with a relatively modest power output, it may be less suited for larger implements or high-demand agricultural applications, making it more appropriate for small to medium farming operations.

TRANSMISSION
The Leader B tractor features a simple [-|-] gear transmission system with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear, offering basic maneuverability and ease of operation, ideal for light agricultural tasks. The mechanical dry disc clutch enhances durability but may require more physical effort to operate compared to hydraulic systems. Additionally, the limited gear range may pose a challenge in varied field conditions, necessitating careful management of speed and torque.

MECHANICAL
The Leader B tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering limited traction on uneven terrain, making it well-suited for flat and stable fields. Its mechanical contracting band brakes may provide adequate stopping power but could lack responsiveness compared to hydraulic systems, especially under heavy loads. The open operator station enhances visibility and comfort in warm conditions, although it exposes the operator to elements, necessitating caution in adverse weather.
