ENGINE DETAIL
The Minot 30 tractor features a diesel-powered 4-cylinder engine with a modest displacement of 116.23 ci (1.9 L) that delivers 30 hp at a rated RPM of 2000, making it suitable for light-to-moderate agricultural tasks. Key considerations include its efficient cooling system with a 7.6 qt capacity and an adequate oil capacity of 6.3 qts, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity. However, its lower horsepower may limit its application in heavy-duty operations, so it's best used for mowing, gardening, or small field work.
