ENGINE DETAIL

The McCormick Intl CTJ23 tractor, powered by a Mitsubishi S3L diesel engine, offers a compact yet efficient 23hp (17.2kW) output at a rated RPM of 2700, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks and maneuverability in confined spaces. Its Tier III emissions compliance ensures it meets regulatory standards while its dry air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating facilitate reliable engine performance in varied conditions. However, with only 1.1L displacement, it may struggle with heavier workloads, limiting its versatility in more demanding agricultural scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The McCormick Intl CTJ23 is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control, which is advantageous for precision tasks like tilling or landscaping. Its infinite (2-range) forward and reverse gears enable smooth transitions and adaptability in various working conditions, enhancing operational efficiency. However, while hydrostatic systems offer ease of use, they may require more maintenance and can be less efficient in terms of power transfer compared to mechanical transmissions.
