ENGINE DETAIL
The Muir-Hill 101 tractor features a 6-cylinder diesel engine with a notable displacement of 5.9 L, providing reliable power at 108 hp and significant torque of 253.5 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, ideal for heavy-duty applications. Its 16.5:1 compression ratio facilitates efficient fuel combustion, while the liquid-cooled system ensures optimal operating temperatures, enhancing longevity and performance. However, the relatively low rated RPM of 2500 may limit its speed in certain applications, making it more suited for tasks requiring sustained torque rather than rapid acceleration.

MUIR-HILL 101 TIRES
The Muir-Hill 101 tractor features a consistent tire size of 18.4x30 for both front and rear, which aids in achieving a balanced weight distribution and improved traction on agricultural fields. However, the limited tire size may restrict its performance in softer soil conditions and heavier draft applications. Overall, this configuration is optimal for general-purpose field work but may require additional attachments or modifications for specialized tasks.
