ENGINE DETAIL

The LS MT573 tractor is powered by a turbocharged LS L4C25-T diesel engine with a displacement of 2.5L, offering 73hp at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. It meets Tier IV emissions standards, making it compliant for modern agricultural and industrial tasks, while its liquid-cooled system ensures optimal thermal efficiency during prolonged operations. A challenge may arise in terms of servicing the electrical starter system as it operates on a 12-volt system, which requires proper maintenance to avoid reliability issues in demanding conditions.
