ENGINE DETAIL
The McKee 470 tractor features a Perkins A4.236 engine, delivering 69 hp with a robust 16:1 compression ratio, optimized for tasks requiring reliable power and efficiency at low RPMs (2100). Its 4-cylinder configuration and liquid-cooled system allow for prolonged use in demanding environments, though the 7.9 qts oil and 15.9 qts coolant capacities necessitate regular maintenance checks to avoid overheating. Ideal for agricultural applications, its compact design and moderate displacement make it suitable for both small farms and confined spaces, but potential challenges include limited power output for larger operations.

TRANSMISSION
The McKee 470 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear system, allowing for versatile speed control tailored to various agricultural tasks. With an oil capacity of 22.2 quarts (21.0 liters), adequate lubrication is maintained for optimal engine performance and longevity. However, the limited gear selection may pose challenges for specific applications requiring more precise speed adjustments; thus, considering terrain and task type is essential.

MECHANICAL
The McKee 470 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for lightweight applications but may struggle in wet or uneven terrain. The open operator station offers enhanced visibility and comfort for the operator but lacks protection from environmental factors. A 6-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed selection, making it suitable for various tasks, though it may not provide the efficiency seen in more advanced transmission systems.
