SILVER KING 370 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Silver King 370 tractor features a Continental F-162 gasoline engine with a 162 ci (2.7 L) displacement, providing adequate power for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its 4-cylinder configuration and moderate rated RPM of 1800 ensure a balance of torque and efficiency, making it suitable for operations like tilling and mowing but potentially limiting for heavy-duty applications. The electric starter enhances convenience and reliability, particularly in varied weather conditions, although maintenance of the ignition system is essential for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION
The Silver King 370 tractor features a simple transmission system with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing basic operational versatility for light agricultural tasks. The limited gear options may enhance ease of use for novice operators but could restrict speed and torque variations required for more demanding applications. When using this tractor for tasks like plowing or hauling, operators should be mindful of the gear selection to optimize power delivery and efficiency.

MECHANICAL
The Silver King 370's 3x2 2WD chassis provides good stability for light farming tasks but may limit traction on uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. Manual steering can enhance driver control in simple operations but may require more effort when maneuvering; the mechanical contracting band brakes, while reliable, may be less responsive in wet conditions. With a 4-speed transmission, the tractor is well-suited for various applications, though it may lack the versatility of models with more gears for fine-tuned speed adjustments.
