SILVER KING ROW-CROP POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Silver King Row-Crop tractor features a Continental F-162 engine with a relatively low compression ratio of 6.1:1, which may optimize fuel economy but limits power output and performance. With a displacement of 162 cubic inches, this 4-cylinder engine is suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks, although its rated RPM of 1800 indicates it may not excel in high-speed operations. Notably, the electric starter provides convenient engine engagement, making it user-friendly for operators in various farming scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Silver King Row-Crop tractor features a basic transmission system with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, which limits its operational versatility, particularly in varied agricultural tasks. The simplicity of the gear structure allows for easy repairs and maintenance, making it attractive for small-scale and vintage tractor enthusiasts. However, the limited range of gears could pose challenges in achieving optimal speeds and torque for different row crops, especially in hilly or uneven terrain.

MECHANICAL
The Silver King Row-Crop tractor features a 3x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and lightweight maneuverability, ideal for row crop work. However, the manual steering and mechanical contracting band brakes may pose challenges in precision handling and stopping efficiency, especially in steep or uneven terrain. Its 4-speed transmission provides versatility in speed selection, making it suitable for various farming tasks, but limits performance compared to modern hydrostatic systems.

SILVER KING ROW-CROP TIRES
The Silver King Row-Crop tractor features a narrow front axle design advantageous for maneuverability in row-crop applications, making it ideal for cultivating crops in tight patterns. The 7.5x16 Ag front tires provide good steering response, while the 10x38 Ag rear tires offer enhanced traction and stability for planting and tillage tasks. However, the tractor's limited power and weight distribution may present challenges in heavy implement usage, necessitating careful matching of tasks to avoid wheel slippage or ineffective soil penetration.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Silver King Row-Crop tractor features a robust 83.25-inch wheelbase, enhancing stability during operation in row-crop cultivation. Weighing 3,550 lbs, it provides a solid ground engagement, ideal for handling heavier loads but may be challenging in terms of maneuverability in tight spaces. The combination of 7.5x16 front tires and 10x38 rear tires allows for effective traction and flotation, making it suitable for various soil conditions but requiring careful tire pressure management to optimize performance.
