Caterpillar R3

Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Caterpillar R3 is a powerful tractor built for tough jobs. It has a gasoline engine made by Caterpillar with 4 cylinders and 350 cubic inches of displacement. This engine can produce up to 41.99 horsepower at 1101 RPM, making it strong enough for most farm tasks. The tractor uses a gear transmission with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, giving the driver good control over speed and power.

This tractor is special because it runs on tracks instead of wheels. It has 29 tracks on each side, measuring 16 inches by 2 inches. The tracks help the R3 move well on different types of ground. The engine is cooled by liquid, which helps it work well even when it's hot outside. The R3 also has a good air cleaner that uses three different methods to keep the engine clean: centrifugal force, oil, and matted wire. This helps the tractor last longer and work better in dusty conditions that are common on farms.
