ENGINE DETAIL
The Mitsubishi GM550 tractor features a Shibaura N4LDI-TA turbocharged diesel engine, providing a solid 54.4 hp at 2,600 RPM, enabling efficient field operations and heavy-duty tasks. The 2.2L engine's direct injection system enhances fuel efficiency and reduces emissions, making it suitable for compliance with environmental regulations. However, its displacement might limit its performance in extremely high-demand agricultural scenarios, necessitating careful consideration of workload requirements to avoid overexertion.

MITSUBISHI GM550 ENGINE
The Mitsubishi GM550 tractor is powered by a Shibaura 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which provides a balance of torque and fuel efficiency ideal for medium-duty applications. With a 14.5-gallon (54.9L) fuel tank, it offers extended operational time, minimizing downtime during tasks like tilling or hauling. However, the relatively compact engine capacity may limit power output for heavy-duty operations compared to larger tractors.

TRANSMISSION
The Mitsubishi GM550 tractor features a syncromesh transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, allowing for versatile speed and torque management across various tasks. Its four-range system (creeper, low, medium, high) with a shuttle shift enhances operability, especially in applications requiring frequent direction changes, such as tillage or loading. However, the dry disc clutch may present challenges in terms of heat management during prolonged use, necessitating careful operation to avoid premature wear.

MITSUBISHI GM550 TIRES
The Mitsubishi GM550 tractor features standard agricultural tires, with front specifications of 8-18 and rear specifications of 13.6-28, offering optimized traction and stability for various field conditions. The larger rear tires enhance load-bearing capacity, improving performance during heavy tillage or hauling operations. However, the limited tire size may restrict maneuverability in tightly spaced crops, making the GM550 more suitable for open-field applications rather than narrow-row farming scenarios.
