MAHINDRA 3616 ENGINE

The Mahindra 3616, powered by a Mitsubishi 1.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a balance of efficiency and power suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 7.1 gallons (26.9 liters), it provides reasonable run time for extended operations, but operators should monitor fuel usage closely during demanding tasks. A potential challenge may arise from limited power output in heavy-duty applications, making it less ideal for extensive or high-load scenarios.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Mahindra 3616 features an 8-speed synchronized hydrostatic shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth and efficient gear shifts, enhancing operator comfort during tasks such as loader work or field operations. The hydrostatic system provides variable speed control, improving maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. However, the complexity of this transmission may require more maintenance compared to traditional systems, necessitating awareness of potential service costs.

8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Mahindra 3616 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, enabling smooth gear changes for improved maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for tasks requiring frequent direction changes. With 8 forward and reverse gears, operators can easily match the speed to their application, enhancing productivity. However, the dry disc clutch may present challenges in heavy-duty applications, as it can be less forgiving under excessive load compared to wet clutches, potentially impacting durability over time.

Type	synchronized shuttle
Gears	8 forward and reverse
Clutch	dry disc

TRANSMISSION 2

The Mahindra 3616 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and precise control, which is advantageous for tasks requiring varied speeds. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gearing allows for adaptability in different agricultural scenarios, enhancing efficiency during operations like tilling or hauling. However, the hydrostatic system may require more maintenance compared to traditional gear systems, potentially increasing long-term operational costs.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Mahindra 3616's 4x4 MFWD provides optimal traction in diverse terrains, enhancing performance in agricultural and landscaping scenarios. Its hydrostatic power steering improves maneuverability, especially for tight spaces, while the 8-speed synchronized shuttle transmission allows for smooth gear transitions, benefiting both delicate tasks and heavy-duty applications. The wet disc brakes deliver effective stopping power, but the optional two-post foldable ROPS may compromise operator safety compared to integrated cab designs in adverse conditions.

MAHINDRA 3616 TIRES

The Mahindra 3616 tractor, equipped with standard agricultural tires (7x16 front and 11.2x24 rear), is optimized for rugged field conditions, offering superior traction and stability. For lawn and turf applications, the dimensions (27x10.5-15 front and 41x14-20 rear) enable low ground pressure and less soil compaction, making it ideal for maintenance tasks. However, consider the trade-off in performance on uneven terrain when using turf tires versus agricultural tires, as the latter may provide enhanced grip in rugged agricultural scenarios.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Mahindra 3616 tractor's weight range of 2560 to 3027 pounds provides a robust platform for stability during various agricultural tasks, but may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces. Its 7x16 front and 11.2x24 rear tire configuration offers a good balance of traction and flotation, ideal for diverse terrain, although users should be mindful of tire condition to maintain optimal performance. This tractor is suitable for medium-duty applications, such as tilling and mowing, but may face challenges in extremely soft or uneven ground where additional flotation is required.
