ENGINE DETAIL
The Oliver 440 features a Continental gasoline engine with a displacement of 140 ci (2.3 L), providing adequate power for light to medium agricultural tasks. With a bore/stroke ratio of 3.19x4.38 inches, it indicates a long stroke which can enhance torque output at lower RPMs, but may limit maximum horsepower. Operating at a rated RPM of 1800 allows for efficient fuel consumption and reduces stress on the engine during prolonged tasks, making it suitable for smaller farms or hobbyists.

TRANSMISSION
The Oliver 440 tractor features a simple 4-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, providing straightforward operation for basic agricultural tasks. This gear configuration enhances ease of use but may limit flexibility in varied terrain or heavier load scenarios. For light to medium-duty operations like plowing or tilling, it offers adequate performance; however, steep inclines may challenge its capabilities, necessitating careful gear selection.
| Gears |
4 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Oliver 440 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides good traction for light to moderate fieldwork but may struggle in muddy or hilly terrain compared to 4WD alternatives. Its open operator station enhances operator visibility and comfort but offers limited protection from the elements. With a simple 4-speed transmission, it is user-friendly for basic tasks, though it may lack the versatility needed for varying field conditions or high-speed applications.

OLIVER 440 TIRES
The Oliver 440 tractor features a common tire combination with 5.00-15 front tires and 12.4-24 rear tires, delivering a good balance of load-bearing capacity and maneuverability for various agricultural applications. The larger rear tires improve traction and stability, especially in tillage and fieldwork scenarios, although their size may pose accessibility challenges in tighter spaces. Overall, this configuration supports efficient operation in medium-sized farms, though attention must be paid to the tractor's weight distribution and balance for optimal performance.
