CABELAS LM35 ENGINE

The Cabelas LM35 tractor features a Mitsubishi 1.8L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust torque and fuel efficiency which is ideal for light to medium-duty agricultural tasks. This engine size provides a balance between power and operational economy, making it suitable for tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, the limited horsepower may pose challenges with heavier loads or demanding terrain, so assessment of specific use scenarios is essential.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Cabelas LM35 tractor features a 12-speed synchronized shuttle transmission combined with a hydrostatic drive, providing seamless operation and rapid direction changes, enhancing maneuverability for various tasks. The synchronized shuttle allows for smooth gear shifts without clutch engagement, beneficial in applications requiring frequent forward and reverse operations. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system may lead to increased maintenance requirements compared to traditional mechanical transmissions, especially in rugged environments.

Description 12-speed synchronized shuttle/hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Cabelas LM35 tractor features a synchronized shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, providing seamless shifting for various terrain applications, which can enhance operator efficiency. The dry disc clutch allows for reliable engagement and disengagement but may require more frequent maintenance under heavy use compared to wet clutches. With an oil capacity of 33.8 qts (32.0 L), regular oil changes are essential to maintain optimal performance and extend the life of the engine and transmission systems.

Type synchronized shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Clutch dry disc
Oil capacity 33.8 qts/32.0 L

TRANSMISSION 2

The Cabelas LM35 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite speed control within its three forward and reverse ranges; this enhances maneuverability in varied terrains. Its oil capacity of 37 quarts (35.0 L) indicates a robust lubrication system, crucial for extended operation and engine longevity, though it may require more frequent maintenance checks. Ideal for applications requiring precise speed adjustments, such as landscaping or light agriculture, the hydrostatic system can be a challenge in terms of higher initial costs compared to gear-driven systems.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse
Oil capacity 37 qts/35.0 L

MECHANICAL

The Cabelas LM35 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction and stability on uneven terrain, ideal for both agricultural and construction applications. Its hydrostatic power steering offers improved maneuverability and ease of use, especially in tight spaces. With a 12-speed synchronized shuttle transmission, operators benefit from smooth direction changes and efficient speed control, though mastering the complexity of gear management may pose a challenge for less experienced users.

CABELAS LM35 TIRES

The Cabelas LM35 tractor features a dual tire configuration for both agricultural and industrial applications, allowing for versatility across different terrains. The agricultural setup with larger rear tires (11.2-24) enhances traction and stability during field operations, while the industrial tires (10-16.5) provide better maneuverability on uneven surfaces. A potential challenge is the trade-off between traction and ground pressure in diverse applications, affecting soil compaction and machine performance.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Cabelas LM35 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 64.5 inches, which enhances maneuverability on tight landscapes but may limit stability under heavy loads. At a weight of 3140 lbs, it achieves a favorable power-to-weight ratio, allowing for efficient field operations, though it may struggle with traction on soft or uneven terrain due to its front and rear tire sizes of 7-16 and 11.2-24, respectively. This tractor is ideal for small farm applications or horticulture, but operators should consider additional weight or tire options for enhanced stability or traction in more challenging conditions.
