AGCO ST30 ENGINE
The AGCO ST30 is powered by a compact Iseki 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which provides efficient fuel consumption, particularly beneficial for extended operation in agricultural tasks. With a 6.1-gallon (23.1 liters) fuel tank, the tractor can sustain longer work sessions without frequent refueling, enhancing productivity. However, the relatively small fuel capacity may limit operational range for larger agricultural tasks or in remote areas, making mindful route planning essential.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The AGCO ST30 tractor features a 9-speed hydrostatic transmission, which allows for smooth speed adjustments and improved maneuverability, particularly in applications requiring precise speed control. The hydrostatic system provides a stepless range of speed without the need for shifting gears, enhancing operator comfort and reducing operator fatigue during lengthy tasks. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system may lead to higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear transmissions, so regular servicing is essential to ensure optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION 1
The AGCO ST30 tractor features a 9-speed forward and 3-speed reverse transmission, enabling flexible speed control for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch system provides reliable power transfer and minimizes slippage, though it may require more frequent maintenance compared to wet clutches. This setup is advantageous for operators needing precise gear selection for tasks such as tilling or hauling in varied terrain.
| Type | gear |
| Gears | 9 forward and 3 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The AGCO ST30 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control and ease of operation, ideal for precision tasks in varying terrains. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears enhance versatility, allowing quick adjustments during planting or tilling operations. However, while hydrostatic systems offer smooth performance, they may have higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear systems.

MECHANICAL
The AGCO ST30 features a 4x4 mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) chassis, providing excellent traction on diverse terrain, which is advantageous for farmers working in varying field conditions. Its hydrostatic power steering ensures responsive handling, while the wet disc brake system enhances braking efficiency, particularly in wet conditions. The 9-speed gear/hydrostatic transmission allows for versatile speed adjustment, making it suitable for both field tasks and transport applications.

AGCO ST30 TIRES
The AGCO ST30 tractor offers versatility with options for agricultural (12.4-16) and industrial (12.5/80-18) rear tires, allowing for tailored performance based on application needs—agricultural tasks benefit from enhanced flotation, while industrial tires improve stability on uneven terrain. However, tire selection may impact ground contact and traction efficiency, with agricultural tires excelling in soft soil due to wider footprints but potentially affecting maneuverability in tighter spaces. For optimum performance, choose tire type according to operational demands; agricultural applications require traction in tillage, whereas industrial uses prioritize stability and load handling.
