ENGINE DETAIL

The Erkunt Kismet 58E tractor is powered by a Sonalika ITL 3100-FLT turbocharged intercooled diesel engine, offering a solid output of 56.7 hp at 2100 RPM, which is suitable for tasks requiring moderate power. Its impressive torque of 169.6 lb-ft at 1300 RPM enhances its ability to handle heavy loads, making it particularly effective for agricultural applications in hilly terrains. However, while compliant with Stage IIIA emissions standards, the operator should be aware of the potential complexities in maintenance and emissions regulations associated with higher horsepower machinery.

ERKUNT KISMET 58E ENGINE

The Erkunt Kismet 58E features a Sonalika ITL 2.8L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and efficiency suitable for medium-duty applications. With an 18.5-gallon (70L) fuel tank, it has an extended operational range, ideal for long work periods without frequent refueling—a significant advantage for farmers and commercial operators. However, the tractor’s engine size may present challenges in heavy-duty conditions, so careful consideration of workload is advised.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Erkunt Kismet 58E tractor offers both an 8-speed and a 12-speed mechanical shuttle transmission option, providing versatility for varying agricultural tasks. The 12-speed version allows for finer control over speed and torque management, enhancing operational efficiency, especially in tasks requiring precision such as tilling or planting. However, the complexity of the 12-speed system might present a learning curve for operators accustomed to simpler transmissions.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Erkunt Kismet 58E tractor features an 8-speed mechanical shuttle system that allows for efficient gear shifting in both forward and reverse directions, enhancing maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. The left-hand shuttle operation provides convenience for operators, reducing strain during directional changes. However, the mechanical shuttle may present challenges in terms of precision compared to electronic options, which may be a consideration for tasks requiring frequent gear adjustments.

Type mechanical shuttle
Gears 8 forward and reverse
Description Four gears in two ranges with left-hand shuttle.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Erkunt Kismet 58E tractor features a mechanical shuttle transmission, allowing for efficient shifting between forward and reverse without the need to clutch, which can enhance operator productivity in tasks requiring frequent direction changes. With 12 forward and reverse gears, it offers a wide range of speed and torque options, suitable for various agricultural applications. However, users should consider the potential learning curve for optimal gear selection and the physical effort required in mechanical operation compared to hydrostatic alternatives.

MECHANICAL

The Erkunt Kismet 58E features a versatile chassis option with both 4x2 2WD and 4x4 MFWD configurations, allowing users to select the best traction for varying terrain conditions. With an optional two-post folding ROPS cab, safety and visibility are enhanced, although the lack of a fully enclosed cab could expose the operator to environmental elements. The tractor's transmission options, including 8-speed and 12-speed mechanical shuttle, provide efficient power management for tasks ranging from routine fieldwork to more demanding applications, though the mechanical nature may require more operator skill compared to advanced hydrostatic systems.

ERKUNT KISMET 58E TIRES

The Erkunt Kismet 58E offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing its versatility and adaptability for various farming tasks. The 2WD variant with standard agricultural tires provides efficient maneuverability on flat terrains, while the 4WD option equipped with larger tires improves traction and stability on rugged or slippery surfaces. Consider the operational environment; for intensive fieldwork in varying soil conditions, the 4WD model is advantageous, though it may lead to increased fuel consumption and higher maintenance costs.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Erkunt Kismet 58E tractor features two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) options, providing flexibility based on traction needs; the 4WD version's longer wheelbase enhances stability in challenging terrains. Weighing between 6,217 to 6,790 pounds, this tractor offers substantial ground engagement, which can be advantageous for plowing and heavy-duty tasks, but may limit mobility on softer grounds. The front tire size of 6.50-16 and 2WD rear tire of 340/85R24 suggests a strong grip for agricultural applications, although tire selection must consider the tractor's weight distribution for optimal performance.
