Hesston 566

The Hesston 566 is a utility tractor designed for a wide range of tasks on farms and properties. This model features a 2WD chassis configuration, with hydrostatic power steering for ease of maneuverability. Powered by Fiat's 8035.4 diesel engine, it offers a displacement of 168 cubic inches with a liquid cooling system. The tractor's transmission offers a robust 20 forward and 8 reverse gearbox, providing flexibility and precision in a variety of field operations. The tractor operates with a base weight of 4901 pounds and maintains a ground clearance of 20 inches, which is suitable for varied terrains. The 566 model rolls on standard agricultural tires, with a 7.50-16 size for the front, and a larger 14.9-28 size for the rear, ensuring stability and traction in different soil conditions. Although precise horsepower and hydraulic details are unknown, it is clear that due to the 4x2 2WD configuration, this tractor is likely best suited for flat terrain and general-purpose farm work rather than heavy-duty tasks on challenging landscapes.
