ENGINE DETAIL

The Rumely DoAll features a Waukesha 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 173.2 ci (2.8 L) and a bore stroke ratio of 3.50x4.50 inches, providing adequate torque at a rated RPM of 1400. This liquid-cooled vertical L-head design enhances thermal efficiency and prevents overheating during prolonged operation, although the coolant capacity of 22 quarts may require frequent monitoring. Ideal for light to moderate agricultural tasks, its engine characteristics suggest a balance between power output and fuel efficiency, but may present challenges in maintaining optimal cooling under heavy use.

ADVANCE-RUMELY DOALL ENGINE

The Rumely DoAll tractor, powered by a Waukesha 2.8L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offers commendable power output for various agricultural tasks. Its 15-gallon fuel tank provides a sufficient range for moderate field operations, balancing capacity with weight for better maneuverability. However, the gasoline engine may result in higher operational costs compared to diesel alternatives, particularly in high-demand scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The Rumely DoAll tractor features a basic gear transmission with 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse, offering limited versatility in speed selection for various terrains. While the simplicity of this system can reduce maintenance complexity, it may restrict performance in challenging conditions where more gear options could enhance torque management or speed adaptability. Operators should consider the DoAll's application primarily for straightforward tasks, as the gear limitations might not cater well to diverse agricultural or heavy-duty needs.

Gears 2 forward and 1 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Rumely DoAll tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides decent traction on flat terrains but may struggle in muddy or uneven conditions. Its manual steering system simplifies repairs but requires more physical effort from the operator, especially in tight maneuvers. The 2-speed gear transmission offers basic versatility, ideal for light agricultural tasks but may be limited for heavy-duty applications or more diverse fieldwork scenarios.

ADVANCE-RUMELY DOALL TIRES

The Rumely DoAll tractor features a robust agricultural front tire size of 26x5 and a larger rear tire size of 42x7, both constructed from steel. This configuration enhances traction and stability for heavy fieldwork but may lead to increased weight and reduced maneuverability in tighter spaces. Ideal for larger plots, the tractor's design maximizes ground engagement while potentially complicating transport and handling on varied terrain.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Rumely DoAll tractor, weighing 3702 lbs (1679 kg), is designed for versatility with its large rear tires (42x7) providing significant traction and stability for various agricultural applications. However, the smaller front tires (26x5) may affect maneuverability, especially in soft or uneven terrain. Ideally, this tractor excels in towing and field operations but may struggle in tight spaces or hilly landscapes where turning radius and front-end grip are critical challenges.
