Ford 3055

The Ford 3055 exemplifies a strong, versatile tractor suitable for a range of agricultural tasks. With a 55 horsepower engine and liquid cooling system, it is capable of handling both day-to-day farm work and more demanding jobs. The three-cylinder diesel engine, displacing 183 cubic inches, provides robust power and efficiency, particularly noted at its 2200 rated RPM. The transmission is a simple gear type with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, making for an uncomplicated yet effective operation. Weighing in at 4409 pounds, it has a notable presence on the field and suggests a durable construction capable of withstanding rigorous use. Its 78-inch wheelbase underpins a stable and manageable ride. Farming tasks are further supported by its Category I hitch type and the rear PTO rated for 540 RPM, though specific details about the hitch's lift capacity are lacking. This model’s tire setup is designed to accommodate agricultural use, as evidenced by the 6.00x19 front tire size and the larger 12.4/11x36 or optional 14.9/13x28 rear tire size. The overall dimensions and the fact that it comes from the trusted brand Ford, place the 3055 into a class of tractors that balance traditional design with the power needed for demanding farm jobs.
