Ferguson TE-20
The Ferguson TE-20 is a utility tractor made from 1946 to 1948. It's a small, simple tractor that's good for many farm jobs. The TE-20 has a 2-wheel drive system and manual steering, which means it's easy to control but might not be best for very tough ground. This tractor has a gasoline engine made by Continental. The engine has 4 cylinders and is liquid-cooled, which helps it run smoothly. It can produce about 23 horsepower, which is below average for tractors. The TE-20 is lightweight at 2,756 pounds, making it easy to move around the farm. It has a basic transmission with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The tractor also has a power take-off (PTO) that spins at 540 rpm, useful for running other farm tools. The Ferguson TE-20 is small, measuring 115 inches long, 63.4 inches wide, and 52 inches tall. It has an open operator station, so the driver sits outside without a cab. The tractor uses regular farm tires and has simple brakes. It starts with an electric starter, which is easier than older hand-crank models. While it's not the most powerful tractor, the TE-20 is known for being reliable and easy to use on small to medium-sized farms.
