The Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company 25-50 is a powerful utility tractor from the early days of farming. It's a big, heavy machine weighing 17,000 pounds, which is much more than most tractors. This tractor is built for tough jobs on the farm. The 25-50 has a very large 904.8 ci engine with four cylinders. It runs on kerosene and is cooled by liquid. The engine is very big compared to other tractors. It has a low speed of 550 rpm, which is slower than most. The tractor has two gears for going forward and one for backing up. It uses steel wheels instead of rubber tires, which was common for old tractors. To start it, you have to use a hand crank, not a key like modern tractors. The 25-50 is a two-wheel drive tractor with manual steering, making it a bit harder to control than newer models.
