Introduction
Rome 475C Tractor
The Rome 475C is a heavy-duty tractor produced between 1978 and 1986. Manufactured in Cedartown, Georgia, USA, this machine was designed for high-capacity industrial and agricultural applications requiring significant power and structural durability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Caterpillar 3408 diesel engine. This 8-cylinder, liquid-cooled power plant features an 18.0-liter (1100 cubic inch) displacement and delivers 475 horsepower (354.2 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM, providing the necessary torque for demanding field operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 475C utilizes a powershift transmission system, which allows for gear changes under load to maintain momentum during intensive tasks. The configuration provides 12 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. Power is delivered to the ground through a four-wheel-drive system designed to maximize traction in challenging terrain.
Weight and Construction
Reflecting its heavy-duty construction, the machine has a shipping weight of 33,000 lbs (14,968 kg). This mass contributes to the tractor's overall stability and its ability to exert high drawbar pull during heavy-duty implements operation.
Conclusion
The Rome 475C is a specialized tractor engineered for heavy-duty traction work. Its combination of a high-displacement Caterpillar engine, powershift transmission, and four-wheel-drive capability positions it as a robust solution for large-scale land clearing or intensive agricultural requirements.
