ENGINE DETAIL
The Wallis Cub Junior tractor, featuring a 4-cylinder liquid-cooled gasoline engine with a displacement of 326.3 ci (5.3 L), is designed for low-RPM operations at 900 RPM, which enhances fuel efficiency and durability for agricultural tasks. Its hand-crank starter may pose challenges for operator ease, particularly in cold conditions or for less experienced users. However, the robust bore and stroke dimensions (4.25x5.75 inches) suggest strong torque output, making it well-suited for pulling and field work.

MECHANICAL
The Wallis Cub Junior features a 3x2 2WD chassis, providing adequate stability for light agricultural tasks but limiting traction in uneven terrain. Its manual steering system may require more operator effort, particularly during prolonged use or tight maneuvers. The 2-speed gear transmission offers versatility in speed management, enhancing efficiency for various farming applications, though it may lack the smoothness of more advanced automatic systems.
