ENGINE DETAIL
The Wisconsin Tractor 22-40 features a robust Climax 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a significant displacement of 665 ci (10.9 L), providing ample torque for heavy-duty tasks. Its bore and stroke dimensions (5.50x7.00 inches) indicate a long stroke design, enhancing low-end torque but may limit high RPM efficiency, particularly with a rated RPM of just 800. The hand-crank starter adds a vintage touch but can be a challenge for ease of operation and cold starts in comparison to modern electric starters.

WISCONSIN TRACTOR 22-40 ENGINE
The Wisconsin Tractor 22-40, powered by a Climax 10.9L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offers robust performance capable of handling diverse agricultural tasks due to its substantial displacement and gasoline efficiency. Its notable torque characteristics may enhance pull power for heavy implements; however, potential downsides include higher fuel consumption compared to diesel counterparts, impacting operational costs. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms with varying workload demands, this tractor provides a versatile solution with the caveat of maintaining engine health for longevity.

TRANSMISSION
The Wisconsin Tractor 22-40 features a simple gear system with 2 forward and 1 reverse gear, optimizing ease of use for straightforward tasks. This limited gear ratio may provide advantages in lower-speed applications but could pose challenges in tasks requiring higher speed or precision control. Ideal for light agricultural work, the tractor’s configuration is best suited for flat terrain and less demanding operational scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The Wisconsin Tractor 22-40 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering good maneuverability on firm terrains but limited traction in adverse conditions. The manual steering system provides simplicity and ease of maintenance, though it may require more effort in tighter turns. The 2-speed gear transmission allows for basic operational flexibility, but may lack the advanced gear ratios found in modern tractors for optimal speed and torque adjustments.
