ENGINE DETAIL

The LS XR4046 features a Shibarua N844L-F diesel engine with a 2.2L displacement, delivering a gross power of 46hp at a rated RPM of 2600, which is suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its indirect injection fuel system enhances fuel efficiency and can provide better cold start performance, although this may lead to increased emissions compared to direct injection systems. Overall, this tractor is well-suited for small to mid-sized farming operations, balancing power and fuel economy, but operators should be aware of potential challenges with emissions compliance in certain regions.

LS XR4046 ENGINE

The LS XR4046 is equipped with a Shibarua 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a balance of power and fuel efficiency, ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its fuel tank capacity ranges from 10.5 gallons (39.7L) with ROPS to 12.4 gallons (46.9L) with a cab, providing flexibility in operation duration; however, the smaller tank could limit run time for larger tasks without refueling. Ideal for operations requiring maneuverability and moderate power, it excels in small crop applications but may face challenges with heavier implements due to its engine size.

TRANSMISSION

The LS XR4046 features a synchro shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth direction changes without clutching, which enhances operational efficiency during tasks such as loader work or field tillage. Its 16 forward and reverse gears provide a broad speed range and adaptability for various agricultural applications, optimizing performance based on terrain and crop type. However, operators should ensure familiarity with gear selection to maximize the benefits of the transmission system.

Gears 16 forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The LS XR4046 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system for enhanced traction and stability, making it suitable for diverse terrains, particularly in agricultural applications. Its hydrostatic power steering allows for easier maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 16-speed synchro shuttle transmission provides versatility in speed adjustment for various tasks. Optional air-conditioning in the cab enhances operator comfort during extended use in hot environments, though it may increase overall cost and maintenance needs.

LS XR4046 TIRES

The LS XR4046 tractor offers versatile tire options with standard agricultural tires optimized for fieldwork, providing enhanced traction due to their size (Front: 9.5-16 and Rear: 13.6-24). For turf applications, lawn/turf tires (Front: 28x8.5-15 and Rear: 41x14-20) minimize lawn damage while maintaining stability, but may sacrifice off-road ability. Industrial tires (Front: 12-16.5 and Rear: 17.5L-24) offer durability and puncture resistance, making them ideal for construction or heavy-duty tasks, but might compromise ride comfort on softer terrains.
