Introduction
Huber 30-60 Standard-Tread Tractor
The Huber 30-60 is a heavy-duty tractor produced between 1912 and 1916 in Marion, Ohio, USA. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations of the early 20th century, this machine represents the era of early internal combustion tractors, emphasizing raw traction and belt power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine designed to run on kerosene. It features a displacement of 1,321 cubic inches (21.7 L) with a bore and stroke of 184 x 203 mm. The engine operates at a rated speed of 550 RPM. This configuration provides a claimed drawbar power of 30 hp (22.4 kW) for pulling implements and a belt power of 60 hp (44.7 kW) for stationary machinery. The cooling system is substantial, requiring a capacity of 380 quarts (359.6 L).
Transmission and Mechanical Layout
The Huber 30-60 utilizes a gear-type transmission providing two forward speeds and one reverse gear. It is built as a two-wheel drive machine with manual steering. The operator operates the vehicle from an open station platform, consistent with the standard design practices of the period.
Dimensions and Construction
The tractor is a substantial machine, weighing 23,200 lbs (10,523 kg). Its physical footprint is 254 inches (645 cm) in length, 116 inches (294 cm) in width, and 106 inches (269 cm) in height. It is equipped with steel rear agricultural wheels measuring 96x30 inches, designed to provide the necessary grip for heavy field work.
Conclusion
The Huber 30-60 is a classic example of heavy agricultural machinery from the 1910s. With its high-displacement engine and significant mass, it was engineered for intensive traction tasks and powering stationary farm equipment via belt drive, making it a significant piece for historical agricultural machinery collections.
