MITSUBISHI GKS235 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Mitsubishi GKS235 features a robust Isuzu E3CD 1.5L, 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 23.2hp at a low 2500 RPM, which enhances fuel efficiency and torque performance ideal for agricultural applications. Its compact displacement and equal bore and stroke contribute to balanced power delivery and lower maintenance costs, while the electric starter simplifies operational readiness. However, the relatively low power output may limit its effectiveness in larger farming tasks, making it best suited for small to mid-sized operations or specific tasks like tilling and mowing.

MITSUBISHI GKS235 ENGINE
The Mitsubishi GKS235 is powered by an Isuzu 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of fuel efficiency and adequate torque for various agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 6.6 gallons (25.0 liters), it allows for extended operation periods, ideal for medium-sized farms. However, the compact diesel engine may limit power output for heavier-duty applications, potentially necessitating more frequent refueling during intensive operations.

TRANSMISSION
The Mitsubishi GKS235 features a 12-speed transmission with 4 gears in three ranges and a shuttle, allowing for versatile speed selection and direction change without clutching. This setup enhances operational efficiency, particularly in tasks requiring frequent direction changes, such as loader applications. However, its complexity may present a learning curve for operators new to multi-range gear systems, so adequate training is recommended.

MECHANICAL
The Mitsubishi GKS235 features a half-track chassis, enhancing traction and stability on uneven terrain, which is ideal for agricultural applications in muddy or soft soil conditions. Its power steering system improves maneuverability, while the 12-speed transmission grants versatility for various tasks, allowing operators to select optimal speeds for both heavy-duty and precision work. However, the two-post ROPS cab design may offer limited protection compared to full cabs, necessitating careful operation in adverse weather or rollover-prone environments.

MITSUBISHI GKS235 TIRES
The Mitsubishi GKS235 tractor, equipped with a 7-14 size Ag front tire and 400mm rear tracks, offers enhanced stability and traction in various agricultural applications. The front tire size facilitates maneuverability, while the 400mm tracks on the rear improve weight distribution and reduce soil compaction, making it ideal for wet or soft ground conditions. However, the trade-off may include increased maintenance requirements for the track system and potential higher initial costs compared to traditional tire setups.
