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.

TRANSMISSION

The GBT-3000 tractor features a gear type transmission with 6 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing versatility for varying terrain and operational needs. Its oil capacity of 5.9 quarts (5.6 liters) with SAE-90 lubricant ensures adequate lubrication and temperature control, which can enhance performance and longevity. However, the limited reverse gear may pose challenges in tight maneuvering scenarios, necessitating careful planning during navigation.
