ENGINE DETAIL
The Minneapolis-Moline GTA tractor features a robust 403.2 ci (6.6L) gasoline 4-cylinder engine, providing ample torque for heavy-duty tasks. Its bore and stroke of 4.625 x 6.00 inches (117 x 152 mm) suggest a focus on low-end power, ideal for plowing and tilling applications. Operating at a rated RPM of 1075 may limit high-speed operations but enhances fuel efficiency and engine longevity in agricultural settings.

TRANSMISSION
The Minneapolis-Moline GTA tractor features a simple 4-speed forward and 1 reverse gear configuration, which provides straightforward operation ideal for basic field tasks. The transmission's limited gear range may challenge versatility in varied terrain or applications requiring rapid speed changes. This makes it well-suited for focused agricultural tasks but less adaptable for diverse farming operations involving extensive transport or higher speeds.

MECHANICAL
The Minneapolis-Moline GTA, having a 4x2 2WD chassis, offers maneuverability suited for flat terrains but may struggle in soft ground conditions. The band brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they may require frequent maintenance compared to modern disc systems. With a basic 4-speed gear transmission, operators can expect straightforward control, though it limits versatility in varied field conditions compared to tractors with more advanced transmission systems.

MINNEAPOLIS-MOLINE GTA TIRES
The Minneapolis-Moline GTA tractor features a robust agricultural front tire size of 34-5.5 inches and rear tires measuring 50-12 inches, both made of steel for durability. The large rear tires provide enhanced traction and stability for heavy-duty applications, while the steel construction indicates a more rigid ride, which may lead to increased soil compaction. Ideal for heavy tillage or hauling tasks, it is essential to monitor soil health due to potential compaction issues in softer soils.
