ENGINE DETAIL

The Volvo T600 tractor is equipped with a Bolinder 1113A diesel engine, featuring a 3-cylinder configuration with a substantial torque output of 180.7 lb-ft at 1300 RPM, which is advantageous for efficient low-end pulling power. With a power rating of 62 hp at 1950 RPM, it strikes a balance between fuel efficiency and performance, making it suitable for light to medium-duty agricultural tasks. However, its relatively low horsepower may limit its applicability in more demanding applications, so careful consideration is needed for tasks requiring higher power ranges.

VOLVO T600 ENGINE

The Volvo T600 tractor features a Bolinder 3.8L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a robust power-to-weight ratio suitable for various agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 17.2 gallons (65.1 liters), it offers a decent operational range, reducing the frequency of refueling during demanding workdays. However, the 3-cylinder design may present challenges in high-load scenarios, potentially limiting torque output compared to larger engines when tackling heavy implements or steep terrain.

MECHANICAL

The Volvo T600 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel-drive chassis, providing adequate traction for light to moderate agricultural tasks but may struggle on uneven terrain compared to all-wheel-drive counterparts. Manual steering offers simplicity and control but can lead to operator fatigue over extended use. The 10-speed gear transmission allows for versatile speed management, optimizing power delivery for varying field conditions, yet may require proficient operator skill for efficient gear shifting.

VOLVO T600 TIRES

The Volvo T600 tractor features a versatile tire configuration with an 8.5-20 front and options for larger rear tires (14.9-38, 16.9-34, or 16.9-30), which enhances traction and stability across diverse terrains. The larger rear tires facilitate improved load carrying capacity and reduced soil compaction, making it ideal for agricultural applications. However, the choice of rear tire size may affect maneuverability and compatibility with specific implements, requiring careful consideration based on the intended use.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Volvo T600 tractor has a relatively short wheelbase of 90.75 inches, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces but may impact stability on uneven terrain. Weighing 6,415 lbs, it provides adequate ballast for various agricultural tasks, but operators should consider the load distribution when towing or carrying heavy implements. The front tire size of 7.50-18 and larger rear tire size of 13.6-38 can enhance traction, but tire selection should match specific soil conditions for optimal performance.
