ENGINE DETAIL

The LS MT347 tractor is equipped with a turbocharged 1.9L 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 47hp at 2600 RPM and a robust torque of 119.5 lb-ft at 1600 RPM, ideal for mid-range tillage and transport tasks. Its common rail direct injection system enhances fuel efficiency while meeting Tier IV emissions standards, making it environmentally friendly with lower operational costs. However, the relatively low RPM could limit its performance in high-speed applications, necessitating careful selection for intended tasks.

LS MT347 ENGINE

The LS MT347 features a compact 1.9L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which provides efficient fuel consumption suited for smaller agricultural tasks, but may limit power for larger implements. The fuel tank capacity differentiates between ROPS (10.6 gallons) and cab configurations (12.4 gallons), allowing for extended operation time in cab models, which is advantageous for prolonged fieldwork. However, the relatively small engine size could pose a challenge in heavy-duty applications, indicating the need for careful task assessment based on tractor capabilities.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The LS MT347 features a 16-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic transmission, allowing smooth directional changes and efficient power transfer for various agricultural tasks. Its hydrostatic design provides precise speed control, enhancing operator comfort and reducing fatigue during prolonged use. However, the complexity of the transmission may lead to increased maintenance requirements and potential repair costs over time.

Description 16-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The LS MT347 tractor features a synchro shuttle transmission, which allows for smoother directional changes—ideal for applications requiring frequent reversals, such as loader work. With 16 forward and reverse gears, it offers versatility in speed and torque management, enhancing its performance in various field conditions. However, operators must be familiar with gear selection to optimize efficiency and avoid potential gear clash during shuttle operation.

Type synchro shuttle
Gears 16 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The LS MT347 features a hydrostatic transmission, offering infinite speed control across three ranges for smooth operation in varied field conditions. This design allows for enhanced maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, making it ideal for precision tasks like tilling or planting. However, hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance compared to mechanical transmissions, and understanding the nuances of range selection is crucial for optimal performance.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The LS MT347 features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrain, beneficial for tasks requiring robust performance such as plowing or tilling. Its power steering and wet disc brakes provide improved maneuverability and reliable stopping power, although the absence of standard cab can limit operator comfort in harsh weather conditions. The 16-speed synchro shuttle/hydrostatic transmission offers versatile speed control, making it well-suited for both fieldwork and transport scenarios.
