Introduction
Farmtrac 60 Utility Tractor
The Farmtrac 60 is a two-wheel drive utility tractor manufactured between 1998 and 2003. Designed for general agricultural applications, this model is recognized for its mechanical simplicity and robust construction.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 192 cubic inches (3.1 liters). It produces 49 horsepower (37.1 kW) at a rated engine speed of 2000 RPM. The engine features a compression ratio of 16.3:1 and generates a maximum torque of 137 lb-ft (185.8 Nm) at 1400 RPM. Air intake is managed by a dual dry element air cleaner, ensuring consistent performance in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain consists of a constant mesh transmission providing 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. Operation requires the tractor to be stationary to shift between gears or ranges, utilizing an 11-inch dry disc clutch. The system includes a live, two-stage clutch to maintain power to the rear PTO independently of the drive wheels.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Hydraulic power is supplied by a gear pump providing a flow rate of 4.5 gpm (17.0 lpm), with an optional configuration reaching 9 gpm (34.1 lpm). The system includes two valves and a total hydraulic capacity of 6.3 gallons (23.8 L). The rear hitch is a Category II type, featuring position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 3,087 lbs (1400 kg) at the ends.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The Farmtrac 60 features a wheelbase of 82.3 inches (209 cm) and an overall length of 133.9 inches (340 cm). The operator station is equipped with a two-post Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) for safety. Steering is manual by default, with hydrostatic power steering available as an optional upgrade. Braking is handled by mechanical dry disc brakes.
Conclusion
The Farmtrac 60 serves as a capable utility tractor suitable for small to medium-scale agricultural operations. Its combination of a 49 hp engine, standard rear PTO, and Category II hitch makes it a versatile platform for standard field implements and maintenance tasks.
