Introduction
Leyland 2100 Series 285 Tractor
The Leyland 2100 is a row-crop tractor manufactured in Bathgate, Scotland, between 1972 and 1980. This model series was engineered to address mid-to-large scale agricultural requirements, serving as a robust platform for both heavy-duty field work and general farm maintenance.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Leyland 6/98 diesel engine, a 5.6-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled unit. It produces 100 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2100 RPM. The engine features a 16.8:1 compression ratio and a cyclonic dry-type air cleaner to ensure longevity in dusty field environments.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 2100 offers two transmission configurations. The standard model features a 10-speed forward and 2-reverse gear arrangement using a dry disc clutch. Introduced in 1979, an optional 9-speed synchromesh transmission provides three synchronized gears across three ranges, facilitating smoother gear changes during operation. The tractor is configured with two-wheel drive.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 11 gpm (41.6 lpm). It is equipped with a Category II rear hitch capable of lifting 6,000 lbs (2,721 kg). The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent, offering selectable speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM at an engine speed of 1818 RPM.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
Operator comfort is managed via either an open station or a standard cab. Units produced after 1976 feature an insulated cab equipped with a heating system. The tractor is equipped with power steering and independent hydraulic wet disc brakes. It has a wheelbase of 90 inches (228 cm) and an operating weight of 8,910 lbs (4,041 kg), which can be ballasted up to 13,260 lbs (6,014 kg).
Conclusion
The Leyland 2100 is a mechanically straightforward, heavy-duty tractor suited for operators who require reliable power for row-crop operations. Its combination of a high-torque 6-cylinder engine and significant lift capacity makes it a durable choice for historical agricultural applications.
