Manufactured in Scotland between 1972 and 1980, this row-crop tractor has cemented its reputation as a dependable partner for a wide array of farming tasks. Let's delve into what makes the Leyland 2100 a standout choice for discerning farmers.

Powerhouse Performance: The Leyland 6/98 Engine

At the heart of the Leyland 2100 beats a powerful Leyland 6/98 diesel engine. This 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled powerhouse displaces 344.7 cubic inches (5.6 L) and delivers a robust 100 hp (74.6 kW) at 2100 RPM. With a compression ratio of 16.8:1 and a cyclonic dry type air cleaner, this engine is built for endurance and efficiency, ensuring you have the grunt needed for even the most demanding jobs.

Transmission Versatility for Every Task

The Leyland 2100 offers flexible transmission options to match your operational needs. Choose between a 10-speed transmission with dry disc clutch or, for smoother shifting, a 9-speed synchromesh transmission that became available from 1979. Both options provide multiple gears in various ranges, allowing for precise control and optimal speed selection for plowing, cultivating, or transport.

Operator Comfort and Control

Designed with the operator in mind, the Leyland 2100 features a standard cab, insulated and heated from 1976 onwards, providing a comfortable working environment. For those who prefer an open station, that option is also available. Power steering ensures effortless maneuverability, while independent hydraulic wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, crucial for safety in varied field conditions.

Hydraulics and Hitch: Ready for Implements

Equipped with an open center hydraulic system featuring a pump flow of 11 GPM (41.6 LPM), the Leyland 2100 is ready to power a wide range of implements. The Category II rear hitch boasts a substantial lift capacity of 6000 lbs (2721 kg), making it capable of handling heavy-duty plows, cultivators, and other essential farm equipment with ease.

Dimensions and Stability

With a wheelbase of 90 inches (228 cm) and substantial agricultural tires (7.50-16 front, 14-34 rear), the Leyland 2100 offers a stable platform. Its operating weight of 8910 lbs (4041 kg), which can be ballasted up to 13260 lbs (6014 kg), provides excellent traction and stability, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads.

Conclusion

"The Leyland 2100 stands as a testament to robust British engineering, offering a compelling blend of power, versatility, and operator comfort. Its reliable Leyland engine, flexible transmission options, and capable hydraulic system make it a highly effective machine for a multitude of agricultural applications.
