HINOMOTO NX240 POWER

Engine 23.7hp / 17.7kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Hinomoto NX240 tractor is powered by a Kubota D1463 diesel engine, delivering 23.7 hp at 2500 RPM, ideal for farming applications requiring moderate power. The compact size (1.5L displacement) and 3-cylinder configuration enhance fuel efficiency and torque delivery, making it suitable for narrow-row crop operations. However, at this power level, it may face challenges with heavy tillage tasks; optimal for lighter earth-moving or mowing scenarios instead.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Hinomoto NX240 features a 16-speed gear system, enhancing operational efficiency by providing a broad range of speed options for various field conditions. This power shift transmission allows for smooth transitions between gears under load, which is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed control, such as plowing or tilling. However, maintaining such a complex transmission system may require specialized knowledge and tools, posing a challenge for routine maintenance.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Hinomoto NX240 tractor features a 16-speed gearbox, enabling precise speed control with four primary gears across two ranges and an additional creeper range for low-speed tasks like tilling. The dry disc clutch offers durability but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches. This versatile setup is advantageous for varying agricultural tasks, though operators should be familiar with the shuttle shift mechanism for efficient operation.
