SILVER KING STANDARD POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Silver King Standard tractor features a Continental F-162 engine, offering a robust 162 cubic inches of displacement with a low compression ratio of 6.1:1, enhancing fuel efficiency and engine longevity while preventing knocking. With a rated RPM of 1800, it is optimized for lower-speed agricultural applications, balancing power output with torque for various tasks. However, its 4-cylinder layout may limit power for heavier-duty operations compared to larger engines, making it ideal for small to medium farms requiring reliable and efficient performance.

MECHANICAL
The Silver King Standard tractor's 4x2 2WD chassis enhances maneuverability on flat terrains but may struggle in muddy or uneven conditions. Its manual steering system allows for straightforward operation, albeit with increased physical effort during tight turns. The 4-speed transmission provides versatility for various tasks, but the mechanical contracting band brakes may present challenges in maintenance and offer less stopping power compared to modern hydraulic systems.
