ISEKI TU157 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Iseki TU157 is powered by a Mitsubishi K3C diesel engine, delivering 15.3 hp at a rated RPM of 2500, which offers a reliable performance for small to medium agricultural tasks. The compact size with a displacement of 0.9L and a coolant capacity of 5.8 quarts suggests efficient thermal management, important for prolonged usage in diverse conditions. However, its limited power output may not suffice for larger implements, making it best suited for lighter operations like gardening or small-scale farming.

ENGINE OIL
The Iseki TU157 tractor has an oil capacity of 2.9 quarts (2.7 liters), which is relatively low, indicating it may require more frequent oil changes compared to larger models. This can contribute to lower maintenance costs but potentially increases the frequency of oil monitoring. Ensure the correct oil type is used to maintain engine performance and longevity, which is crucial for optimal operation in agricultural tasks.

ISEKI TU157 TIRES
The Iseki TU157 tractor offers two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations, allowing flexibility for different terrains and tasks. A notable feature is its standard agricultural tires, which enhance traction; however, the smaller front tires on the 2WD model (4.00-12) may limit stability compared to the 4WD variant (5.00-12). Users might find the 4WD configuration advantageous for challenging conditions like wet or uneven soil, while the 2WD version can be more fuel-efficient for simpler tasks.
