ENGINE DETAIL
The Twin City 20-35 tractor features a kerosene-powered 4-cylinder engine with a significant displacement of 641.5 ci, delivering robust torque suitable for heavy-duty applications. The vertical, valve-in-head configuration supports efficient combustion and cooling, with a rated RPM of only 900, indicating it is optimized for low-speed operations which can enhance durability but may limit transport speed. Its 72 qts coolant capacity is ample for sustained operation, promoting reliable thermal management during extended field use.

TWIN CITY 20-35 ENGINE
The Twin City 20-35 tractor features a robust 10.5L 4-cylinder kerosene engine, optimized for efficient power generation, suitable for heavy-duty agricultural applications. With a 40-gallon main fuel tank and an auxiliary 3-gallon tank, this tractor can sustain longer operational hours in the field, making it advantageous for extended tasks like plowing or harvesting. However, the reliance on kerosene may present challenges in fuel availability and cost-effectiveness compared to diesel options.

TRANSMISSION
The Twin City 20-35 features a basic transmission system with 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, offering limited speed options suitable for varied agricultural tasks. This simplicity can lead to increased reliability and ease of maintenance but may restrict operational versatility compared to modern multi-speed transmissions. Ideal for small-scale farming operations or collectors, it may not meet the demands of larger, diversified agricultural scenarios.

| Gears | 2 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Twin City 20-35 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing adequate traction for light field work and maneuverability on flat terrain. Its 2-speed transmission offers flexibility in performance, allowing operators to select the optimal gear ratio for tasks like plowing or hauling. However, the lack of 4WD may limit its effectiveness in challenging conditions such as muddy fields or steep inclines.

TWIN CITY 20-35 TIRES
The Twin City 20-35 tractor features a robust tire configuration with Ag front tires measuring 36x8.50 and Ag rear tires at 60x20, providing substantial traction and stability for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. The steel construction of the tires enhances durability but may reduce overall ride comfort and traction in muddy conditions. Optimal for tillage and heavy pulling applications, this tractor is well-suited for large-scale farming operations, but its weight distribution should be carefully managed to prevent soil compaction.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Twin City 20-35 tractor, weighing 8,100 lbs (3,674 kg), boasts substantial traction capabilities, especially with its larger rear tires (60x20), making it suitable for heavier tillage and pulling applications. However, the narrower front tires (36x8.50) may lead to stability challenges in rough terrains or on slopes. Overall, its weight distribution and tire dimensions facilitate effective ground engagement, but operators should consider the terrain to optimize performance and safety.
