Leyland 245

The Leyland 245 is a utility tractor designed for various agricultural tasks. With its power steering and 2WD chassis configuration, it offers a balance of performance and simplicity. The tractor is powered by a Leyland D3.152, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 152.7 cubic inches, producing 50 horsepower at an engine speed of 2250 RPM. The gear-type transmission with its uncertain number of forward and reverse gears presents a certain versatility in handling different tasks, although the exact gear ratio is unknown. The 245 model has a notable weight range, being able to operate at 5880 pounds with the possibility of ballasting up to 7850 pounds for increased traction and stability. The tractor dimensions are practical, with a length of 126 inches, a width of 63.8 inches, and a varied height dependent on whether it is measured to the steering wheel (61.8 inches) or to the top of an assumed cab (90.6 inches). It has a substantial ground clearance of 15.7 inches, lending itself to varied working conditions.
