IMT 558 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The IMT 558 tractor, equipped with a 3.3 L diesel engine, delivers a power output of 58 hp at a rated RPM of 2250, making it suitable for mid-range agricultural tasks. Its 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled design ensures efficient thermal management, which minimizes overheating during prolonged use. However, the relatively low power-to-weight ratio may pose challenges for heavy-duty applications, so it's ideal for medium-duty fieldwork rather than intensive operations.

IMT 558 ENGINE
The IMT 558 tractor is powered by a 3.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency suitable for mid-range agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 50.0 liters, it supports extended operation without frequent refueling, advantageous for larger farms or extensive fieldwork. However, the tractor's weight and power output may be less suitable for heavier tillage or demanding terrains compared to higher-powered models.

TRANSMISSION
The IMT 558 tractor features a gear transmission system with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for versatility in different field conditions. The three-gear arrangement in two ranges enhances torque management and operational efficiency, making it suitable for varied tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, the limited gear selection may pose challenges in highly specialized or steep terrain scenarios where more gear options could optimize power delivery.

MECHANICAL
The IMT 558 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering simplicity and ease of maintenance but limiting traction in challenging terrains. Its manual steering may require more physical effort, especially in tight maneuvers, while the open operator station enhances visibility at the cost of operator comfort and protection from elements. The 6-speed transmission allows for versatile speed control, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks, although it may lack the efficiency of modern hydraulic systems for heavier loads.

IMT 558 TIRES
The IMT 558 tractor features a robust tire setup with 7.50-16 front tires and optional 16.9-28 or 14.9-28 rear tires, providing stable traction on various terrains. The larger rear tires enhance overall stability and load-carrying capacity, making it suitable for high-draft applications such as plowing and tilling. However, the tractor's weight distribution may require careful consideration to prevent soil compaction in softer conditions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The IMT 558 tractor has a wheelbase of 83.4 inches, providing enhanced stability during heavy loads, while its weight of 5070.6 lbs ensures a solid ground presence, especially useful in rugged terrains. The front tires (7.50-16) offer good maneuverability, while the larger rear tires (16.9-28) contribute to improved traction and reduced soil compaction. However, the relatively compact wheelbase may limit its turning radius in tighter spaces, necessitating caution during operation in confined environments.
