Hesston 466
The Hesston 466 is a utility tractor that was made from 1985 to 1989. It has a 2WD drive system and a 4x2 chassis, making it good for basic farm work. The tractor is powered by a Fiat 8035.02 engine with 3 cylinders and 46 horsepower. This engine is diesel-fueled and naturally aspirated, which means it doesn't use a turbocharger. The engine size is average compared to other tractors. This tractor has a synchronized transmission with 12 forward gears and 4 reverse gears, giving the driver lots of options for different tasks. It has power steering and wet disc brakes for easy control. The Hesston 466 has a 3-point hitch at the back that can lift up to 3,307 pounds, which is very good for its size. It also has a PTO (power take-off) that spins at 540 rpm, useful for running other farm equipment. The hydraulic system can pump 11.1 gallons per minute, which is on the lower side. The tractor weighs 4,851 pounds, which is about average for its class. It has an open operator station with a foldable roll-over protection system (ROPS) for safety.
