ENGINE DETAIL

The Iseki TM3240 features a compact 1.1L E3112 diesel engine, providing a moderate 21.7 hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a high compression ratio of 22.5:1, it offers efficient fuel combustion but may require quality diesel to prevent knocking. The dry element air cleaner enhances air filtration, while the manageable oil (2.9 qts) and coolant (7.5 qts) capacities facilitate routine maintenance; however, users should be aware of its limitations in power for larger implements.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Iseki TM3240 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks but limiting speed modulation in certain scenarios. With an oil capacity of 14.8 quarts (14.0 liters), routine maintenance and oil changes are relatively straightforward, ensuring optimal engine performance. However, users should monitor oil levels meticulously, as insufficient lubrication can lead to significant mechanical failures.

Gears 6 forward and 2 reverse
Oil capacity 14.8qts / 14.0L

TRANSMISSION 2

The Iseki TM3240 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite forward and reverse speeds which enhances maneuverability and ease of operation, particularly in tight spaces. With an oil capacity of 14.8 quarts (14.0 liters), it allows for efficient thermal regulation and lubrication, crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance during prolonged use. An advantage of the hydrostatic design is seamless speed control; however, it may present challenges in terms of power loss during heavy-duty applications compared to traditional gear systems.

ISEKI TM3240 TIRES

The Iseki TM3240 tractor exhibits dual tire configurations, suited for both agricultural and lawn/turf applications. The Ag tire sizes (5.00-12 front and 9.5-16 rear) provide excellent traction in field work, while the lawn/turf sizes (23.0x10.50-12 front and 315/75D-15 rear) ensure minimal ground disruption. This versatility is advantageous for users requiring a single tractor for varied tasks, but switching between tire types can involve added time and cost for proper alignment and performance adjustments.
