ENGINE DETAIL
The Mitsubishi MT160 tractor, powered by a K3A diesel engine, provides a compact yet robust solution for agricultural tasks with its 16.5 hp (12.3 kW) power output and 33.3 lb-ft (45.2 Nm) torque, enhancing performance at a rated RPM of 2700. With a high compression ratio of 23:1, it promotes efficient fuel combustion, though service intervals may be more frequent due to the dry air cleaner design that requires regular maintenance to optimize performance. This tractor's small displacement of 0.8L is advantageous for light-duty operations and maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small farms or orchards.

MITSUBISHI MT160 TIRES
The Mitsubishi MT160 offers a versatile configuration with 2WD or 4WD options, enhancing traction depending on soil conditions and application requirements. The standard tire sizes, with narrower front tires (4.00-9 for 2WD; 5-12 for 4WD), provide better maneuverability in tight spaces, while the rear tires (8-16) ensure adequate stability and load-bearing capacity. For applications in varied terrains, the 4WD variant may present advantages in terms of grip and overall performance, albeit at the cost of increased complexity and maintenance requirements.
