ENGINE DETAIL 1

The UTB/Universal 260 tractor features a compact 1.6 L diesel engine with a two-cylinder design, delivering 26 horsepower for efficient small to medium agricultural tasks. Its bore and stroke of 3.74x4.331 inches suggest a longer stroke, which can enhance torque characteristics—beneficial for plowing or towing operations. However, the relatively low power output may limit its performance under heavy load conditions or on larger terrains, making it ideal for smaller farms or specific niche tasks.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The UTB/Universal 260 tractor, powered by a 1.8 L diesel engine with a 2-cylinder configuration, offers a compact design that enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for small to medium-sized farms. Its 2200 RPM rated speed indicates decent power delivery for various agricultural tasks, though the lower RPM may limit high-speed operations on larger fields. However, the relatively small displacement and bore/stroke specifications may lead to challenges in torque delivery during heavy-duty applications, necessitating careful usage based on the workload.

UTB/UNIVERSAL 260 ENGINES

The UTB/Universal 260 tractor features two diesel engine options: a 1.6L and a 1.8L 2-cylinder configuration, allowing for versatility in power outputs tailored to specific agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 10.57 gallons (40.0 liters), this tractor offers extended operational time between refuels, beneficial for large field operations. However, the 2-cylinder design could lead to increased vibration and less smooth operation compared to larger multi-cylinder engines, potentially affecting user comfort during prolonged use.

TRANSMISSION

The UTB/Universal 260 tractor features a 6-forward and 2-reverse gear configuration, allowing for versatile speed management and maneuverability in various tasks. This range is beneficial for tasks requiring precise control, such as tilling or transport over varying terrains. However, the limited number of reverse gears may present challenges in tight spaces or when frequent backward movement is needed.

Gears 6 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The UTB/Universal 260 features a 6-speed transmission, which allows for optimized torque management and versatility in various agricultural tasks. The multiple gear ratios enhance control over speed and power delivery, making it suitable for applications such as plowing, tilling, and hauling. However, operators may need to adapt to the shifting process, especially in demanding conditions where rapid gear changes are required.
