GBT GBT-3000 ENGINE
The GBT GBT-3000 tractor is powered by a Continental 0.8L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, which offers a compact yet efficient power output suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. The advantage of a gasoline engine includes lower initial costs and quieter operation compared to diesel engines; however, it may present challenges with fuel efficiency and higher fuel costs in the long term. Ideal for small farms or hobbyists, this tractor excels in versatility but may lack the torque and endurance needed for heavy-duty applications.
