Heart of the Operation: The International Harvester C-123 Engine

At the core of the Farmall 130 lies the dependable International Harvester C-123 engine.

The engine features a classic vertical I-head design and benefits from an oil bath air cleaner, ensuring longevity and efficient operation even in dusty conditions. Its firing order of 1-3-4-2 contributes to smooth running, while the 14.2 L coolant capacity and 4.7 L oil capacity ensure it's ready for demanding workdays.

Smooth Power Delivery: Transmission and Drivetrain

The Farmall 130 features a practical sliding gear transmission, offering 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, allowing operators to select the optimal speed for any task. Engagement is handled by a reliable dry disc clutch, ensuring smooth power transfer and precise control. This two-wheel drive tractor is equipped with manual steering for direct feedback and differential mechanical contracting band brakes, providing dependable stopping power to keep you safe during operation.

Versatile Implement Handling: PTO and Hitch

Equipped with a 540 RPM rear Power Take-Off (PTO), the Farmall 130 is ready to power a wide array of agricultural implements, significantly boosting its utility. Furthermore, the integrated IH Fast-Hitch system, a single-arm design, allows for incredibly quick and easy attachment and detachment of compatible tools. This feature alone makes the Farmall 130 a highly efficient machine for farmers who value their time and need to switch between tasks rapidly.

Compact Design, Capable Stance: Dimensions and Tires

Measuring 107 inches (271 cm) in length and 56 inches (142 cm) in width, the Farmall 130 strikes an excellent balance between compactness and capability. Its wheelbase spans 71 inches (180 cm), contributing to a stable platform. The agricultural tires, with 5.00x15 at the front and 9.00x24 at the rear, provide robust traction and support. With a ground clearance of 21.9 inches (55 cm), it's well-suited for row-crop cultivation, while its operating weight of 2,800 lbs (1270 kg) ensures it stays firmly planted during work.

Conclusion
