TAFE 30

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The TAFE 30 is a modestly sized tractor built by TAFE (Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited), likely targeted at small to medium-sized farms. With a 31 horsepower engine at 23.1 kW and a displacement of 138.5 cubic inches (2.3 liters), it delivers a convenient blend of power and economy for various agricultural tasks. The tractor operates with a sliding gear transmission, featuring 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, which should provide a suitable range of speed options for different field operations. A diesel-powered, 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled vertical inline engine drives the TAFE 30. The liquid-cooling system has a capacity of 7.8 quarts, ensuring the engine remains at a proper operating temperature during prolonged use. While the tractor maintains a wheelbase of 72.05 inches and overall dimensions of 118.5 inches in length, 64.96 inches in width, and 86.61 inches in height, its operating weight is 3,439 pounds, indicative of a solid and stable workhorse. The absence of certain specifications, such as the hitch lift capacity or tire dimensions, suggests that potential owners may need to refer to a manual or contact the manufacturer directly for that information.
