Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company 40-80
The Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company 40-80 is a big, powerful utility tractor from the early days of farming. It has a very large 4-cylinder engine that runs on kerosene fuel. This tractor is built for heavy work, weighing a hefty 22,500 pounds. It's quite long at 206 inches, wide at 108 inches, and tall at 122 inches. This tractor is a 2-wheel drive model with manual steering and a simple gear transmission. It has 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, meaning it doesn't use a turbocharger. One unique feature is its steel wheels instead of rubber tires. The tractor is started with a hand crank, which was common for its time. It has a very low engine speed of 500 RPM, which is unusual compared to modern tractors but typical for its era.
