MASSEY-HARRIS PONY 812 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey-Harris Pony 812, powered by a Simca 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offers a modest 15.8 hp at 1850 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks or smaller property maintenance. With a low compression ratio of 6.25:1, it provides easier starting and can run on lower-grade fuel, but it may lack the torque for heavier applications. The limited oil capacity of 3 quarts (2.8 L) means more frequent maintenance checks, which is an important consideration for longevity in operation.

MECHANICAL
The Massey-Harris Pony 812 features a 4x2 2WD chassis which may limit its traction on uneven terrain but provides ease of maneuverability on flat surfaces. Its manual steering and mechanical band brakes offer simplicity and reliability, although they can be physically demanding and less responsive compared to modern systems. With a basic 3-speed transmission, it's well-suited for light agricultural tasks but may lack the versatility and efficiency needed for heavy-duty operations.
