ENGINE DETAIL

The McCormick-Deering TD-35 features a robust 4-cylinder liquid-cooled I-head diesel engine with a substantial displacement of 6.8L, providing reliable torque for heavy-duty applications. With a bore and stroke of 4.50x6.50 inches, the engine design promotes efficient fuel combustion and longevity at a rated RPM of 1100, making it suitable for low-speed, high-torque tasks such as plowing and hauling. Challenges may arise from the coolant capacity of 52 quarts, requiring careful maintenance to prevent overheating during extended use under demanding conditions.

MCCORMICK-DEERING TD-35 ENGINE

The McCormick-Deering TD-35 features a robust 6.8L four-cylinder diesel engine, facilitating efficient power for heavy-duty applications. Its 40-gallon fuel tank provides extended operational range, critical for demanding work scenarios, while the 1.25-gallon auxiliary tank offers additional fuel security. However, consider the weight and size of the tractor, which may present maneuverability challenges in tighter spaces.

TRANSMISSION

The McCormick-Deering TD-35 features a 5-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, allowing for flexibility in various field conditions and facilitating efficient operation in different terrains. Its dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement and disengagement, though it may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches in heavy use scenarios. The tractor’s gearing system is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed control, making it suitable for applications such as tillage and hauling.

MECHANICAL

The McCormick-Deering TD-35 features a crawler chassis, providing enhanced traction on uneven terrain but may limit speed compared to wheeled tractors. Its open operator station offers good visibility, though it lacks weather protection, which could be a drawback in inclement conditions. The 5-speed gear transmission allows versatility in operational scenarios, enabling efficient power delivery for both heavy-duty tasks and moderate transport work.
