Muir-Hill 161

In 1969, the Muir-Hill model 161 was introduced, which was clearly more powerful than the previous models. The engine was a Perkins 8.36-liter V8 with an output of 163 hp and the transmission was a Fuller 10+2. There were two 14-inch clutches.

The 161 was almost as compact in external dimensions as the smaller models, with a wheelbase 8 cm longer. The turning circle was promised to be 10.0 meters and only 6.1 meters with the steering brake. A compressed air system was standard equipment, and the differential locks were engaged pneumatically. A lock was an option at the front. The tires were the same size at the front and rear, the widest being 23.1-26.

The majority of the approximately 200 tractors produced were industrial models. For example, a hitch (Cat III) and a power take-off were optional extras.

The cab was flat-floored and large, but had a sheet metal interior. The 161 remained in production until 1975. It was not until the successor model 171 that it received the Series II cab that had been introduced 1972 in the smaller models.
