MASSEY-HARRIS PONY 811 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey-Harris Pony 811 features a Simca 4-cylinder liquid-cooled gasoline engine with a moderate displacement of 1.2L, generating 15.8hp at 1850 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks or small farms. The relatively low compression ratio of 6.25:1 and 6-volt electric starter may present challenges in cold-start performance and may limit compatibility with high-octane fuels, but it enhances reliability and ease of operation. With an oil capacity of 3 quarts, regular maintenance and oil changes are critical to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.

MECHANICAL
The Massey-Harris Pony 811 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks on flat terrain but presents challenges in traction on uneven or muddy surfaces. Its mechanical band brakes offer simplicity and reliability; however, they may lack the stopping power and responsiveness of modern hydraulic systems. With only a 3-speed transmission, the tractor’s operational versatility is limited, emphasizing its best use in specific applications rather than extensive, varied fieldwork.

MASSEY-HARRIS PONY 811 TIRES
The Massey-Harris Pony 811 tractor features AG front tires sized at 4x15 and rear tires available in either 8x24 or 9x24 configurations, providing flexibility for various agricultural tasks. The smaller front tires enhance maneuverability in tighter spaces, while the larger rear tires offer improved traction and stability during heavy loads. However, the difference in rear tire sizes may affect the overall balance and weight distribution, so optimal tire pairing is essential for maximizing performance and minimizing wear.
