The Thornycroft 355 is a tractor. Output is 55 PS (41 kW). The model uses rear-wheel drive. The model was built in India.
Tractors of this kind are the draught machines of a whole farm: they pull ploughs, cultivators and trailers, drive implements through the PTO and supply loaders or attachments through the hydraulics. Which jobs pay off depends on output, weight and drive layout. When buying a used example it pays to check operating hours, the condition of clutch, PTO and hydraulics, and the availability of parts for engine and gearbox. The values on this page allow the model to be compared with tractors of similar size. Used machines of this kind often keep working for decades, so replacement engines, conversions and retrofitted attachments occur. For exact identification the data plate, serial number and year of manufacture count.
