ISEKI TM18 ENGINE
The Iseki TM18 is powered by a compact 1.1L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing efficient fuel consumption while delivering adequate power for light agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 6.6 gallons (25.0 liters), the tractor can sustain longer operation periods between refueling, which is advantageous for small to mid-sized farms. However, its smaller engine size may limit performance in more demanding applications, making it ideally suited for tasks such as landscaping or tilling.
