ENGINE DETAIL
The Twin City 15-30 features a kerosene-powered 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a substantial displacement of 496 ci, providing robust torque at lower RPMs for heavy-duty applications. Its bore and stroke ratio of 4.75x7.00 inches allows for efficient fuel combustion and heat management, although the high coolant capacity of 200 qts indicates potential challenges in maintenance and fluid management. This tractor excels in agricultural settings, particularly for tillage or heavy pulling, where sustained power and engine durability are crucial.
