ENGINE DETAIL
The Terraplane TD100 tractor features a turbocharged 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine, providing substantial torque and efficiency at 98.5 hp, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a displacement of 4.1 L and a rated RPM of 2400, it offers optimal performance and durability for extended operations, although its turbocharging can lead to increased maintenance requirements due to higher operating temperatures. This tractor's direct injection fuel system enhances combustion efficiency, translating to better fuel economy and reduced emissions, but careful monitoring of fuel quality is essential to prevent injector fouling.

TRANSMISSION
The Terraplane TD100 features an 18 forward and 6 reverse gear system, offering versatile speed and torque options for various agricultural tasks. Its dry disc clutch provides efficient power transmission with lower maintenance requirements compared to wet clutches but may require more frequent adjustments. This setup is ideal for heavy-load applications, yet operators should be cautious of potential wear due to high friction in demanding operating conditions.

MECHANICAL
The Terraplane TD100 features a robust 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, enhancing traction and stability on diverse terrains, which is an advantage for agricultural applications in hilly or uneven fields. Its 18-speed transmission allows for precise speed adjustments, providing optimal power management during various tasks; however, the potential complexity of gear shifting may pose a learning curve for operators. The optional cab adds comfort and protection, making it suitable for prolonged use in adverse weather conditions, although the standard two-post ROPS may limit visibility slightly.

TERRAPLANE TD100 TIRES
The Terraplane TD100 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires—12.4-28 at the front and 16.9-38 at the rear—which provide enhanced traction and stability on varied terrains. This configuration is advantageous for field operations, allowing efficient power transfer and stability during tillage and transport. However, operators should consider potential soil compaction with larger rear tires, particularly in wet conditions, which may impact soil health over time.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Terraplane TD100 tractor features a 94-inch wheelbase, promoting stability while navigating uneven terrains but may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. Its substantial weight of 10,337 lbs provides enhanced traction, making it effective for heavy-duty work; however, it may require more horsepower for lift and transport tasks. The front tire size of 12.4-28 and rear tire size of 16.9-38 ensure excellent flotation and ground contact, ideal for fieldwork, but may put additional strain on the drive train if used on softer surfaces without proper weight distribution.
