SILVER KING 371 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Silver King 371 tractor features a Continental F-162 gasoline engine with a 162 ci (2.7 L) displacement, providing a balance of power and efficiency, ideal for light to medium field work. Its 4-cylinder liquid-cooled setup ensures consistent performance at the rated RPM of 1800, although the engine's relatively high stroke can lead to increased torque at lower speeds, beneficial for plowing or heavy tillage tasks. Potential challenges include maintenance of the cooling system and fuel efficiency under heavy load conditions, necessitating scheduled checks for optimal operation.

TRANSMISSION
The Silver King 371 tractor features a 4-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, optimizing it for both agricultural and utility tasks. This simple gear configuration allows for reliable operation in varied terrains but may limit speed options compared to modern multi-range transmissions. Ideal for lighter farming operations or small-scale applications, the limited gears could pose challenges in efficiency on larger fields requiring rapid speed adjustments.

MECHANICAL
The Silver King 371 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides good stability on firm ground but limits traction in slippery conditions. Its manual steering allows for direct control, but may require more effort compared to power-assisted systems, especially at lower speeds or during maneuvering. The 4-speed transmission offers versatility in speed selection, but may lack the progressive torque distribution of modern continuously variable transmissions, potentially impacting performance during heavy load operations.
