Huber 30-60

The Huber 30-60 is a standard-tread tractor known for its robust build and simple, yet efficient two-speed gear transmission system. The chassis is a straightforward 4x2 2WD setup with a manual steering mechanism. Its engine, most likely purpose-built by Huber, is a four-cylinder kerosene-powered unit that emphasizes durability and easy maintenance, with a considerable displacement of 1321 cubic inches and a large 380-quart coolant capacity. This suggests the tractor is intended for heavy-duty operations, with consistent low-speed torque being a key characteristic of the engine performance, supported by its rated RPM of 550. The physical dimensions of the tractor underscore its presence and strength, and with large steel rear tires measuring 96 inches in diameter, it was surely a dominant figure in the fields of its time. The absence of modern comforts or complex systems, like cabs, sophisticated hydraulics, or PTO speeds, reiterates this tractor’s focus on fundamental fieldwork capability. Its notable operating weight of 23,200 lbs (10,523 kg) remaining consistent with the era's tendency for heavy, sturdy agricultural machinery.
