ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey-Harris No. 2 12-22 tractor features a Buda HTU gasoline engine with a substantial 312ci displacement, providing robust power suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its bore/stroke ratio of 4.25x5.50 inches indicates a long-stroke design, which can enhance torque characteristics, making it effective for pulling heavy loads. However, operating at a rated RPM of 1000 may limit its top speed, which could be a consideration for tasks requiring faster transport speeds.

TRANSMISSION
The Massey-Harris No. 2 12-22 tractor is equipped with a simple gear transmission offering 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse, which provides basic maneuverability for agricultural tasks. The low gear ratio enhances torque for heavy-duty applications, making it suitable for plowing and other field operations, although the limited speeds may not be ideal for faster transportation needs. Operators should consider its vintage design and potential challenges with parts availability and maintenance when integrating it into modern farming operations.

MECHANICAL
The Massey-Harris No. 2 12-22 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel drive system, which provides adequate traction for light to moderate agricultural tasks but may struggle on uneven terrain. Its manual steering can be less responsive than power steering, leading to fatigue during prolonged operation, while the open operator station allows for increased visibility but offers minimal protection from the elements. The 2-speed gear transmission enhances versatility, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport but may limit performance in more demanding applications.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Massey-Harris No. 2 12-22 tractor, weighing 5400 lbs (2449 kg), offers a balance of power for various agricultural tasks due to its robust construction and moderate weight, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport. However, its weight can pose challenges in muddy conditions, potentially leading to reduced mobility and increased tire wear. For optimal performance, regular maintenance of its drivetrain and hydraulic systems is essential to ensure reliable operation in diverse agricultural scenarios.
