MITSUBISHI GM500 ENGINE

The Mitsubishi GM500, powered by a Shibaura 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offers a balanced combination of power and fuel efficiency suitable for small to medium-sized farming tasks. Its 14.5-gallon fuel tank allows for extended operation between refueling, which is advantageous for fieldwork, minimizing downtime. However, the engine's displacement, while efficient, may limit torque output for particularly heavy-duty applications, necessitating careful match between tractor and task for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION

The Mitsubishi GM500 tractor features a syncromesh transmission with a total of 16 gear options for both forward and reverse, optimizing versatility for various field conditions. The dry disc clutch enhances durability and reduces maintenance needs, though it may present challenges in terms of heating under prolonged use. The four gear ranges with shuttle shift capability are ideal for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, such as loader work or tillage in tight spaces.

MITSUBISHI GM500 TIRES

The Mitsubishi GM500 tractor features standard agricultural tires designed for diverse terrain, with a front tire size of 8-18 and a rear size of 13.6-28, which enhances traction and stability during field operations. One advantage is its optimized weight distribution, improving plowing and tilling efficiency; however, limited flotation may pose challenges in wet conditions. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, the GM500 can effectively perform tasks such as tilling, planting, and transporting materials.
