Farmall BMD

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Farmall BMD is a row-crop type tractor designed for a variety of farm tasks. It comes with a 4x2 2WD chassis and is steered via a mechanical system. The gear transmission provides 5 forward gears and 1 reverse, which is standard for tractors of its era. Powering the BMD is an International Harvester diesel engine with 4 cylinders and a liquid-cooling system, ensuring efficient operation during long hours of work. The engine's 247.7 cubic inch displacement is sizable enough to handle demanding tasks. However, information on its power output and rated RPMs is not provided. An electric starter simplifies the ignition process, a valuable feature at the time of manufacture. It is assumed that this tractor is fitted with a Category 3 hitch, but the hitch position and lift capacity remain unknown. As with other specifications related to the tractor's dimensions, weight, and tire types, information is lacking. Without complete data, detailed commentary on the BMD's performance in field operations is limited to its primary attributes.
