ENGINE DETAIL

The UTB/Universal 850 is powered by a robust 4.7L inline six-cylinder diesel engine, offering a solid 83hp and a torque output of 170 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its oil bath air cleaner with cyclonic pre-cleaner ensures improved filtration in harsh environments, while a high compression ratio of 17:1 enhances fuel efficiency and overall performance. However, challenges may arise in maintenance due to the complexity of the liquid-cooled system and the need for regular inspections to maintain optimal operation.

UTB/UNIVERSAL 850 ENGINE

The UTB/Universal 850 features a robust 4.7L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing ample torque and power for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its 42-gallon (159.0L) fuel tank capacity allows for extended operational time between refueling, enhancing productivity in large farming operations. However, this tractor's size and weight may pose challenges in maneuverability in tight spaces.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The UTB Universal 850 tractor features a 12-speed partially synchronized transmission with an additional 16-speed creeper option, allowing for enhanced control during low-speed operations. This combination is advantageous for tasks requiring precision, such as tilling or plowing in confined spaces. However, the complexity of the transmission may pose a challenge for operators unfamiliar with synchronization systems, potentially increasing the learning curve.

TRANSMISSION 1

The UTB/Universal 850 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with a 12 forward and 3 reverse gear configuration, facilitating smooth gear transitions under varying loads. The 330.2mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement, although users may experience increased wear under heavy-duty tasks. This setup is advantageous for operations requiring frequent gear changes, such as plowing or towing, but may pose challenges in very steep terrain where precise control is essential.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 12 forward and 3 reverse
Clutch 330.2mm dry disc
Description Four gears, plus reverse, in three ranges. Gear shifts are synchronized.

TRANSMISSION 2

The UTB/Universal 850 tractor's creeper transmission provides enhanced low-speed torque management, ideal for tasks requiring precision like tilling or heavy-duty hauling. With 16 forward gears and 4 reverse gears, operators can achieve optimal speed and control across varied terrain. However, the complexity of managing more gears may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range transmissions.

MECHANICAL

The UTB/Universal 850 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with the 4WD (model 850DT) offering enhanced traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its planetary final drives provide efficient power distribution, while the hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces. The 12-speed partially synchronized and 16-speed creeper transmissions allow for precise speed adjustments, beneficial for operations requiring fine control, such as tilling or planting.

UTB/UNIVERSAL 850 TIRES

The UTB/Universal 850 tractor features a 4WD configuration with agricultural front tires (7.50-20/12.4-28) and larger agricultural rear tires (16.9-38), providing enhanced traction and stability in various terrains, ideal for plowing and tilling. The combination of front and rear tire sizes allows for better load distribution and improved performance in muddy or uneven fields, although the larger rear tires may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. When operating in heavy-duty applications, consider potential challenges related to weight distribution, which may require front ballast for optimal performance.
