ENGINE DETAIL
The Silver King 440 features a Hercules IXB3 engine, delivering 25.4 hp at 1500 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. The 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled configuration offers reliable performance, though the lower power rating may limit its effectiveness in more demanding applications. Its 133 ci (2.2L) displacement and specific bore/stroke ratio can enhance torque characteristics but may pose challenges in terms of fuel efficiency and maintenance.

SILVER KING 440 ENGINE
The Silver King 440 is equipped with a Hercules 2.2L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing a balance of moderate power output for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its simplistic design enhances maintenance ease, although the gasoline engine may lead to higher fuel costs compared to diesel counterparts in extensive operations. Ideally suited for small farms or gardening applications, it offers maneuverability and efficiency in tighter spaces.

TRANSMISSION
The Silver King 440 tractor features a straightforward transmission with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, enabling efficient operation for various agricultural tasks. This limited gear selection may facilitate ease of use for novice operators, but it could also restrict the ability to optimize speed and torque in diverse field conditions. Operators should consider using the tractor in scenarios where simplicity and reliability are prioritized over advanced performance capabilities.

MECHANICAL
The Silver King 440 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides good maneuverability and simplicity for light agricultural tasks but may struggle in loose or uneven terrain. Its manual steering, while providing direct feedback, can lead to operator fatigue over prolonged use, especially in tight spaces. The 4-speed transmission allows for a range of speed control; however, operators may find the lack of advanced options like power-shift or syncromesh limiting in varied field conditions.
