Introduction
Oliver 2150 Row-Crop Tractor
The Oliver 2150 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1968 and 1969 at the manufacturer's plant in Charles City, Iowa, USA. As a member of the 2050 series, this machine was designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, delivering 145 hp through a robust powertrain.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is equipped with an Oliver-Hercules 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine. It features a displacement of 478 cubic inches (7.8 L) and a compression ratio of 18.0:1. The engine operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM and includes a dual dry-type air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Two transmission options were available: a 6-speed unsynchronized gear transmission or the 'Hydraul-Shift' partial powershift transmission. The latter offers 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds, allowing for on-the-move, clutchless shifting between ranges. Both systems utilize a 355.6 mm cerametallic clutch disc for efficient power delivery to the two- or four-wheel drive system.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, providing a pump flow of 9 gpm (34.1 lpm) at a pressure of 2050 psi. It supports two to four valves for implement control. The rear independent PTO is capable of 540 and 1000 RPM, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of agricultural implements.
Hitch and Dimensions
Equipped with a Category III rear hitch, the tractor offers both position and draft control, with a lift capacity of 6000 lbs (2721 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the hitch points. The machine has a wheelbase of 97.7 inches and an operating weight of 12,990 lbs, which can be ballasted up to 21,125 lbs.
Conclusion
The Oliver 2150 is characterized by its high power output and flexible transmission options, making it a suitable choice for large-scale row-crop farming. Its combination of structural durability and hydraulic versatility allows it to handle demanding traction and implement-based tasks efficiently.
