GBT GBT-2000 ENGINE

The GBT GBT-2000 tractor is powered by a Continental 0.8L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, which offers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency for light agricultural tasks. Its compact engine size may limit power output, making it more suitable for smaller farms or specific applications like gardening and landscaping. However, the gasoline engine can present challenges in terms of fuel economy compared to diesel alternatives, particularly in heavy-duty operations.

TRANSMISSION

The GBT-2000 tractor features a manual transmission with 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, allowing for effective power management during various field operations. Its oil capacity of 5.9 quarts (5.6 liters) using SAE90 oil ensures optimal lubrication and protection, essential for maintaining performance and durability. However, operators should consider potential challenges with gear shifting under heavy loads, requiring skill for efficient operation.
