Introduction
Cletrac 80 Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Cletrac 80 is a heavy-duty agricultural crawler tractor produced by Cletrac between 1930 and 1937. Designed for demanding field operations, this tracked machine was engineered to provide significant pulling power and stability in challenging terrain conditions.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Hercules HXE gasoline engine. This liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder unit features a large displacement of 935 cubic inches (15.3 liters) with a bore and stroke of 146 x 152 mm. It operates at a rated speed of 1120 RPM and delivers a power output of 123 hp, providing the necessary torque for heavy agricultural tasks.
Transmission and Drive
The Cletrac 80 utilizes a gear-type transmission, offering operators two distinct configurations: a 3-speed setup with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear, or a 4-speed setup with 4 forward and 2 reverse gears. Power is delivered to the ground via a crawler drive system, which ensures superior traction and weight distribution compared to traditional wheeled tractors of the era.
Operational Design
The machine features an open operator station, a standard configuration for tractors of this period, which allows for direct visibility and manual control of the equipment. The crawler undercarriage is designed to handle varied ground surfaces, maintaining stability during field operations.
Conclusion
The Cletrac 80 represents a significant period in crawler tractor development. Its combination of a high-displacement Hercules engine and a specialized tracked drivetrain makes it suitable for heavy-duty traction applications where high pulling force is required.
