ENGINE DETAIL
The Branson 3120R tractor is powered by a Kukje A1500N2-R diesel engine, featuring a compact 1.6 L displacement and a 3-cylinder configuration, which delivers a modest 31 hp at 2600 RPM, suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its efficient fuel consumption of 1.9 gallons per hour (7.2 L/hour) and glow plug pre-heating system enhance cold start reliability in various climates. However, the small engine size may limit its ability to handle heavier implements, making it best suited for jobs like landscaping or small farm operations.

TRANSMISSION
The Branson 3120R tractor features a syncro shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for smooth direction changes and optimized power delivery in varied agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch provides durability and straightforward maintenance, though it may require more pedal effort compared to hydraulic clutches. This setup is advantageous for tasks requiring frequent stops and starts, such as loader operations, but could pose a challenge in sensitive terrain where gradual speed control is critical.
