ENGINE DETAIL 1

The Oliver 660, powered by a Waukesha-Oliver gasoline 4-cylinder engine, delivers a balanced performance with a displacement of 155 ci (2.5L), making it suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its bore and stroke dimensions (3.62x3.75 inches) indicate a torquey engine, while a compression ratio of 7.75:1 allows for efficient fuel use but may limit power at higher RPMs. Pros include reliability and ease of maintenance; however, lower compression could be a disadvantage for more demanding applications requiring higher power output under load.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The Oliver 660 features a Waukesha-Oliver 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 155 ci (2.5L), offering a solid balance of power and efficiency for agricultural tasks. Its bore and stroke specifications of 3.62x3.75 inches (92x95 mm) suggest a robust torque delivery, beneficial for heavy-duty applications like plowing or hauling. With a compression ratio of 16:1, it boasts efficient combustion, although this may lead to challenges in starting in colder climates without adequate pre-heating systems.

TRANSMISSION

The Oliver 660 tractor features an unsynchronized transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, which can enhance simplicity in operation but may require careful shifting to avoid grinding gears. The unsynchronized design can pose challenges in quick gear changes, making it less suitable for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments. This tractor is ideal for steady fieldwork or applications with consistent speed requirements but might not perform optimally in racing or high-agility scenarios.

OLIVER 660 TRANSMISSION

The Oliver 660 features a 6-speed unsynchronized transmission, which allows for a variety of gear selections beneficial for both fieldwork and transport applications. Key advantages include the simplicity of design and reduced maintenance costs; however, the unsynchronized nature may pose challenges for smooth shifting, particularly under load. Operators should be proficient in gear management to avoid damaging the transmission during operation, especially in demanding conditions.

MECHANICAL

The Oliver 660 tractor features a two-wheel drive system, which provides adequate traction for light to moderate agricultural tasks but may struggle in muddy or uneven terrain. The open operator station enhances visibility and operator comfort, ideal for prolonged usage in open fields. However, the lack of a cab may expose operators to harsh weather conditions, necessitating appropriate protective gear.
