The four-cylinder engine displaces 3,378 cm³ and delivers 31 kW, equivalent to 40 horsepower. All-wheel drive powers all four wheels, fitted with 8.00-20 AS tyres at the front and 12.4-28 at the rear. With a weight of 1,995 kg, a width of 1,720 mm and a top speed of 19.5 km/h, the Atlanta DT was built for grippy drawbar work rather than fast road travel.
All-wheel drive on a farm tractor of this power class chiefly improves traction on loose or wet soil and during ploughing that demands high pulling force, where rear-wheel drive alone spins more readily. Different tyres front and rear, with a special AS tread pattern on the front axle, are common on all-wheel-drive tractors of this age and improve both steering behaviour and traction.
When buying a used Atlanta DT, the joints and differentials of the all-wheel-drive system should be checked for play, since these components are placed under greater strain during intensive fieldwork than on a rear-wheel-drive-only tractor. The condition of the tyres, especially the special front tyres, also deserves attention, as a matching replacement is not always easy to find for older all-wheel-drive tractors.
