LS I36 ENGINE

The LS i36 tractor is powered by a Mitsubishi 1.8L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust performance for various agricultural tasks. With an 8.5-gallon (32.2L) fuel tank, it offers decent operational range but may require more frequent refueling during extended use in larger fields. The compact engine size contributes to lower maintenance costs; however, the power output may limit its effectiveness in heavier-duty applications compared to larger tractors.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The LS i36 tractor features a 12-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and efficient operation during directional changes. This design enhances productivity in tasks like loader operations or tillage, as it allows for fine control over speed and torque. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems may require increased maintenance and technical expertise compared to simpler transmission types.

Description 12-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The LS i36 tractor features a synchronized shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, facilitating smooth gear shifts during operation, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. The gear configuration allows for optimized speed selection for various tasks, from tilling to hauling. However, synchronized shuttles may require more maintenance compared to unsynchronized systems, so regular checks on the transmission fluid and filters are advisable to ensure longevity and performance.

Type synchronized shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The LS i36 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, offering infinite speed selection across its three forward and reverse ranges, which enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight working conditions. This design provides smooth operation and ease of use, ideal for applications requiring precise speed control, such as landscaping or sensitive tillage tasks. However, the hydrostatic system may be slightly less fuel-efficient compared to traditional gear-driven transmissions, especially under heavy load conditions.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The LS i36 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive) chassis, providing improved traction and stability on varied terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, making it suitable for tight spaces and demanding agricultural tasks. The 12-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth shifting and precise control, advantageous for tasks requiring varied speed settings, though it may require some acclimatization for optimal operation.
