ISEKI TU165 ENGINE

The Iseki TU165 tractor is powered by a Mitsubishi 1.0L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a compact yet robust powertrain suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its 4-gallon (15.1 L) fuel tank enables decent operational duration, but may require frequent refueling for extensive use. While its size makes it maneuverable in tight spaces, the limited engine displacement may challenge performance under heavy loads or demanding terrain.

TRANSMISSION

The Iseki TU165 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear transmission, providing versatility for various tasks such as tilling or transport. The gear type may allow for efficient speed adjustments and enhanced control, particularly in a variety of field conditions. However, the limited gear range might pose challenges in specific applications requiring rapid acceleration or deceleration.

ISEKI TU165 TIRES

The Iseki TU165 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with significant implications for traction and maneuverability; the 2WD version features narrower front tires (4.00-12), limiting off-road capabilities, while the 4WD model with wider front tires (6-12) enhances stability on uneven terrain. The rear tires (8.3-20) are consistent across both models, designed for optimal load distribution and traction in agricultural applications. Consider the intended use—2WD is more fuel-efficient for flat, simple tasks, whereas 4WD excels in challenging conditions like sloped fields or wet soil.
