Introduction
Minneapolis-Moline G955: A Technical Overview
The Minneapolis-Moline G955 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1973 and 1974. Manufactured by Oliver, a division of White, this model belongs to the G1355 series and was designed to provide reliable power for agricultural field operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 7.0-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fueled by LP-gas. It achieves its rated power output at 1800 RPM. The engine features a 9:1 compression ratio and a bore/stroke of 4.25 by 5.00 inches, providing a consistent power delivery for demanding fieldwork.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The G955 offers two transmission configurations: a standard 6-speed gear transmission or an 18-speed Hydraul-Shift power shift. The latter utilizes a three-range system (under, direct, and overdrive) to provide greater flexibility across various load conditions. Both options are paired with a 355.6mm dry disc clutch.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system, the tractor delivers a pump flow of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm) with a system capacity of 6.8 gallons. The rear independent PTO is capable of operating at both 540 and 1000 RPM, allowing compatibility with a wide range of implements requiring different power take-off speeds.
Dimensions and Handling
With an operating weight of 11,900 lbs, the G955 is built for stability. It features power steering and disc brakes as standard equipment to assist with maneuvering the 445 cm long machine. The tractor utilizes a Type II rear hitch and offers adjustable tread widths for both front and rear axles to accommodate specific row-crop requirements.
Conclusion
The Minneapolis-Moline G955 is a robust, two-wheel-drive platform suitable for heavy-duty field tasks. Its combination of a high-capacity hydraulic system and versatile power-shift transmission options makes it an adaptable machine for professional agricultural applications of its era.
