ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Minneapolis-Moline G708, equipped with a robust 6-cylinder LP gas engine, boasts a displacement of 504ci (8.3L), enhancing torque output for demanding agricultural tasks. The bore and stroke dimensions of 4.625x5.00 inches (117x127mm) indicate a long-stroke design, favoring low-end torque, which is beneficial for plowing and heavy lifting. However, its reliance on LP gas may limit refueling options compared to diesel counterparts, potentially impacting operational flexibility in remote areas.

TRANSMISSION
The Minneapolis-Moline G708 features a 5-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks while emphasizing efficiency in speed control. The limited reverse gear may present challenges in maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, but its robust build allows for effective field operation. Ideal for moderate towing or implements, this tractor balances power with simplicity, making it suitable for smaller farms or specific use cases in larger operations.

5 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Minneapolis-Moline G708 features a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) chassis, enhancing traction and stability on diverse terrains, particularly beneficial for farming applications in muddy conditions. Its open operator station design may provide better visibility but lacks protection from harsh weather, which can lead to operator discomfort during operations. The 5-speed transmission allows for moderate speed control and adaptability, though it may limit options for operators requiring more precise gear selection for specialized tasks.
