Simplicity 2020H Garden Tractor
The Simplicity 2020H is a garden tractor produced between 1999 and 2003 in Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA, for the AGCO distribution network. This model is engineered for residential grounds maintenance and utility tasks, offering a robust platform for mowing and light implements.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a Kohler CH20 engine, an air-cooled, two-cylinder V-twin gasoline unit with a displacement of 622 cc (38 ci). It delivers 20 gross horsepower. The engine is equipped with an electric starter and features an 8.5:1 compression ratio, utilizing a horizontal shaft configuration.
Transmission and Drive
The 2020H utilizes a shaft-driven Sundstrand 15U hydrostatic transmission, paired with a Peerless 2600 transaxle. This system provides infinite forward and reverse speeds across two operational ranges, allowing for precise speed control. The machine features two-wheel drive with a mechanical rear differential lock to assist with traction in varied conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 950 psi with a pump flow of 3 gpm. The tractor supports both front and rear independent Power Take-Off (PTO) shafts. The rear PTO operates at 540 rpm, while the front PTO provides a 2000 rpm output. Engagement for these systems is managed via electric or electro-magnetic clutches.
Dimensions and Chassis
With a wheelbase of 55 inches and an overall length of 78.75 inches, the tractor weighs approximately 802 lbs. It is equipped with power steering and disc brakes for operator control. The open station design includes a two-post Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS), with a hard-side weather cab available as an optional configuration.
