ENGINE DETAIL

The Century C29 tractor, featuring a Kukje diesel 3-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.5L, delivers 29hp at a rated RPM of 2600, ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks requiring reliable power. With a high compression ratio of 21.2:1, it boasts enhanced thermal efficiency but may introduce challenges in cold-start performance without adequate pre-heating. The dry air cleaner and relatively compact coolant capacity of 9.8 quarts ensure low maintenance, although operators should monitor airflow and coolant levels to prevent performance issues.

ENGINE OIL

The Century C29 tractor has an oil capacity of 6.4 quarts (6.1 liters), which is essential for maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity. This capacity allows for effective lubrication and cooling of engine components, minimizing wear during operation. It's important to regularly check and maintain the oil level to ensure efficient performance and prevent potential engine damage.

CENTURY C29 ENGINE

The Century C29 features a Kukje 1.5L three-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient fuel consumption and reliable torque for varied agricultural tasks. Its compact design is advantageous for maneuverability in smaller fields, but may limit power relative to larger tractors for heavy-duty applications. Ensure regular maintenance on the diesel system to optimize performance and longevity.

TRANSMISSION

The Century C29 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for enhanced maneuverability in various field conditions. The clutch-synchronized shifting is beneficial for smoother transitions; however, it necessitates stopping the tractor to shift ranges and engage the shuttle, which may reduce productivity in certain scenarios. Additionally, the oil capacity of 37 quarts calls for regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance, especially under extreme temperature conditions, requiring JDM J20C for low temperatures and JDM J20D for higher ranges.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Oil capacity 37qts / 35.0L
10oF [-12oC] JDM J20C
70o↔-40oF [21o↔-40oC] JDM J20D
Description Four gears in three ranges with left-hand shuttle Gear shift is synchronized with clutch. Tractor must be stopped to shift range and shuttle

MECHANICAL

The Century C29 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction in diverse terrain, ideal for agricultural tasks requiring stability on uneven ground. The hydrostatic power steering ensures precise maneuverability, while the 12-speed partially synchronized transmission allows for smooth gear shifts, optimizing torque for various field operations. A ROPS cab enhances operator safety, but the single foot pedal differential lock may require practice for efficient use in challenging conditions.

CENTURY C29 TIRES

The Century C29 tractor offers versatile tire options for agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial applications, with smaller Ag configurations ensuring enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. The 12.4-24 rear tires improve traction on varying terrains, while the industrial tires (420/70-24) provide stability and load-bearing capabilities for heavier tasks. However, the dependence on specific tire sizes may limit adaptability for diverse farming or landscaping scenarios, necessitating careful selection based on operational needs.

Ag front 7-16
Ag rear 12.4-24
Lawn/turf front 27x8.50-15
Lawn/turf rear 41x14.00-20
Industrial front 10-16.5
Industrial rear 420/70-24

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Century C29 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 65 inches, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces and makes it suitable for small to medium-sized farms. Weighing 3,640 lbs, it provides a solid base for stability during operation but may limit towing capacity compared to heavier tractors. The tire sizes (front: 7-16, rear: 12.4-24) suggest a focus on traction and ground engagement, ideal for cultivating and transporting goods on varying terrain, but users should consider potential challenges in flotation on softer ground.
