ENGINE DETAIL
The Leyland 482 tractor features a turbocharged 3.8L diesel engine, delivering 82hp at a rated RPM of 2200, with notable torque of 70lb-ft peaking at 1200 RPM, making it suitable for high-load applications like tilling and plowing. The 16.8:1 compression ratio enhances fuel efficiency, while its single paper element air cleaner simplifies maintenance. However, the limited torque output may challenge its performance in very demanding terrains compared to competitors with higher torque ratings.

TRANSMISSION
The Leyland 482 tractor's 9 forward and 3 reverse gears provide versatile speed control for diverse agricultural tasks. This gearing setup enhances maneuverability in tight spaces and facilitates efficient operation across varying terrains. However, the relatively limited gear range may pose challenges in achieving optimal speed for larger open-field operations.

MECHANICAL
The Leyland 482 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD (multi-front wheel drive) chassis, providing enhanced traction and stability in challenging terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering allows for easier maneuverability, while the independent hydraulic dry disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power under various load conditions. The 9-speed transmission offers versatility in speed selection, making it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks but may require operator familiarity to maximize performance.

LEYLAND 482 TIRES
The Leyland 482 tractor, equipped with 12.4-28 front tires and 16.9-34 rear tires, offers a balanced load distribution for various agricultural applications. The larger rear tires enhance traction and stability during fieldwork, especially in wetter soils, but might result in a higher turning radius compared to smaller models. Overall, this setup is advantageous for tilling and plowing, although operators should be cautious of potential compaction when working on smaller plots.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Leyland 482 tractor features a wheelbase of 83.28 inches, enhancing stability during operation, particularly on uneven terrain. Weighing 7,410 lbs, it offers substantial traction, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks like plowing and hauling. However, the tire specifications of 12.4-28 in the front and 16.9-34 in the rear suggest a focus on balancing between maneuverability and power, which could limit its use in extremely tight spaces.
