ENGINE DETAIL

The Iseki TU1501 tractor is powered by a Mitsubishi K3B diesel engine, delivering 14.7 hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its compact 0.8L displacement minimizes fuel consumption and enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for small farms or gardens. However, with a limited power output, it may struggle with heavier implements, so operators should consider the intended applications carefully.

ENGINE OIL

The Iseki TU1501 tractor has an oil capacity of 3.2 quarts (3.0 liters), which is relatively small, indicating it may require more frequent oil changes compared to larger models. This can be beneficial for maintaining engine health but may also present a challenge for heavy usage, as frequent top-ups are necessary. Ensure you use the appropriate oil type to optimize performance and longevity.

ISEKI TU1501 ENGINE

The Iseki TU1501 features a Mitsubishi 0.8L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers efficient performance for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a 4.4-gallon (16.7-liter) fuel tank, it provides reasonable operational range, making it suitable for moderate day-to-day farming activities, though refueling might be necessary for larger endeavors. However, its smaller engine capacity may limit power output for heavy-duty applications, posing a challenge when engaging in more demanding tasks like plowing or hauling.

TRANSMISSION

The Iseki TU1501 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear transmission, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks and facilitating efficient maneuverability in tight spaces. With an oil capacity of 12.7 quarts (12.0 liters), optimal lubrication is supported, crucial for maintaining engine performance under heavy loads. However, the limited gear range may restrict performance at higher speeds, making it less suitable for long-distance transport.

MECHANICAL

The Iseki TU1501 tractor features a 4x2 2WD or 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, allowing for versatile traction depending on terrain conditions; the 4WD option provides enhanced stability and control in challenging environments. Its 6-speed gear transmission offers a range of speeds for optimal power management and efficiency, making it ideal for various agricultural applications. However, the selection of 2WD vs. 4WD can influence fuel efficiency and maintenance concerns, with MFWD generally offering better performance in muddy or hilly terrain.

ISEKI TU1501 TIRES

The Iseki TU1501 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD options, with the 2WD configuration equipped with smaller front tires (4.50-10) compared to the 4WD model (5.00-12), enhancing traction and stability in varied terrains. The rear tire size remains consistent at 8-18, which is typical for agricultural applications, providing a solid balance of flotation and grip. For tasks requiring maneuverability in confined spaces, the 2WD may be advantageous, whereas the 4WD is better suited for hilly or uneven agricultural landscapes, offering superior traction and power distribution.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Iseki TU1501 features a compact wheelbase of 48.8 inches, contributing to excellent maneuverability in tight agricultural spaces. With a weight ranging from 1157 to 1235 pounds, it offers a stable platform; however, the 2WD configuration may limit traction in challenging terrain compared to a 4WD model. The tire specifications (4.50-10 front and 8-18 rear) suggest suitability for light-duty tasks, but operators should be cautious of soft soil performance due to the narrower front tires.
