Introduction
Holt 2-Ton Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Holt 2-Ton, also known as the Holt T-35 or 15-25, is an agricultural crawler tractor produced between 1921 and 1925. Manufactured by Holt in Peoria, Illinois, and Stockton, California, this machine represents an early standard for tracked agricultural machinery in the United States.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 251 cubic inches (4.1 liters). This liquid-cooled unit features a bore and stroke of 4.00 by 5.50 inches and operates at a rated speed of 1000 RPM. The engine delivers 28 horsepower, providing the necessary torque for agricultural traction tasks.
Transmission and Drive System
Power is delivered to the ground through a gear-type transmission offering three forward speeds and one reverse speed. As a crawler tractor, it utilizes a tracked drive system equipped with 10-inch tracks, which provides the weight distribution and flotation required for operation on soft or uneven agricultural terrain.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The machine has a total weight of approximately 4000 lbs (1814 kg). It features an open operator station, a standard design configuration for tractors of this era, allowing the operator direct access to the controls and clear visibility of the implements being towed.
Conclusion
The Holt 2-Ton is a representative example of early 20th-century crawler technology. With its 28-horsepower gasoline engine and durable track-based design, it was engineered for stable, consistent pulling performance in agricultural applications of the 1920s.
