ENGINE DETAIL
The Rumely OilPull F 15/30 tractor features a robust 1-cylinder kerosene engine with a substantial displacement of 942.5 ci (15.4 L), facilitating improved torque and fuel efficiency. Its large bore and stroke dimensions (10.00x12.00 inches) allow for significant power output at low RPMs, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. However, the single-cylinder design may lead to vibrations and limited operational speed flexibility, which could pose challenges for certain applications.

TRANSMISSION
The Rumely OilPull F 15/30 features a simple two-speed transmission, providing ease of operation and maintenance, which is particularly advantageous for agricultural tasks requiring moderate speed control. However, the limited gear selection may challenge efficiency during varied terrain conditions or applications requiring rapid speed adjustments. Ideal for tasks such as plowing or cultivation, its robust design emphasizes reliability over agility.

MECHANICAL
The Rumely OilPull F 15/30, featuring a 4x2 2WD chassis, offers simplicity in power delivery but may struggle with traction on uneven terrains. Its open operator station enhances visibility but exposes the operator to environmental elements. The 2-speed transmission allows for customizable speed settings, making it suitable for diverse tasks, though the limited gearing may restrict its versatility compared to multi-speed transmissions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Rumely OilPull F 15/30 tractor, weighing 16,500 lbs (7,484 kg), is notable for its kerosene-powered, two-cylinder vertical engine, which generates 30 horsepower, making it suitable for heavy agricultural tasks. Its weight provides stability and traction for plowing and cultivating, but may challenge mobility on softer terrain. Additionally, the fuel efficiency of kerosene can result in lower operational costs compared to gasoline alternatives, but sourcing kerosene may pose logistical challenges.
