ENGINE DETAIL

The Mahindra 3550 tractor features a robust 4-cylinder, 2.7L diesel engine with a compression ratio of 19.5:1, optimizing efficiency and power output at 49hp with a peak torque of 103.6 lb-ft at 1800 RPM. The direct injection fuel system enhances combustion efficiency, while its Tier IV emissions compliance ensures it meets modern environmental standards, making it suitable for both agricultural and light industrial applications. However, the relatively high RPM of 2800 may present challenges in terms of noise and fuel consumption; users should consider these factors based on their operational conditions.

MAHINDRA 3550 ENGINE

The Mahindra 3550 tractor features a robust 2.7L 4-cylinder diesel engine, ensuring sufficient power for various agricultural tasks. With two fuel tank options, the ROPS capacity of 11.3 gallons allows for compact operations, while the larger 14.5-gallon cab tank extends runtime for larger jobs, improving productivity. However, the trade-off may include increased vehicle weight and potential maneuverability challenges when fully fueled, particularly in tight spaces.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Mahindra 3550 features a 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth forward and reverse transitions for improved productivity during field operations. This system allows for precise speed control, making it ideal for tasks that require frequent direction changes, such as loader work or transport. However, operators may face a learning curve to fully utilize the hydrostatic capabilities, particularly when transitioning from traditional manual transmissions.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Mahindra 3550 tractor features a power shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces and allowing for seamless direction changes without clutch engagement. The wet disc clutch provides better durability and reduces slippage, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing and hauling. However, operators should be aware that the complexity of the power shuttle may require more maintenance compared to traditional gear systems.

Type	power shuttle
Gears	12 forward and reverse
Clutch	wet disc

TRANSMISSION 2

The Mahindra 3550 hydrostatic tractor offers infinite gear selection within its 3-range system, providing precise speed control and versatility across various terrains. The hydrostatic transmission allows for seamless direction changes and uninterrupted power delivery, making it ideal for tasks requiring maneuverability, like planting and mowing. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems may increase maintenance requirements compared to traditional gear systems.

Gears	infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Mahindra 3550 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system providing enhanced traction and stability in diverse terrains, making it ideal for agricultural tasks in challenging conditions. Its power steering reduces operator fatigue, while wet disc brakes offer superior stopping power, especially in high-load scenarios. The 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth directional changes, beneficial for tasks requiring frequent forward and reverse operation.

MAHINDRA 3550 TIRES

The Mahindra 3550 tractor features standard agricultural tires (9.5-20 front and 16.9-24 rear), providing excellent traction for field work, but may limit maneuverability on tighter terrains. For turf applications, the lawn/turf tires (31x13.50-15 front and 21.5L-16.1 rear) minimize ground disturbance and are ideal for landscaping or golf courses. Alternatively, industrial tires (14x17.5 front and 19.5Lx24 rear) offer durability and stability on hard surfaces, making them suited for construction or heavy-duty use.
