ENGINE DETAIL

The New Holland 1520 tractor features a Shibaura J843 diesel engine, which provides 23 hp at a rated RPM of 2500, making it well-suited for small to medium farming operations and utility tasks. With a high compression ratio of 23:1, it offers efficient fuel combustion, although users should be cautious of potential cold-start issues in low temperatures due to its liquid-cooled system. Its compact dimensions (81.2 ci displacement and 3-cylinder configuration) allow for maneuverability in tight spaces, though maintenance access may be limited due to the engine's design.

NEW HOLLAND 1520 ENGINE

The New Holland 1520 is powered by a Shibaura 1.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust torque and fuel efficiency suitable for compact tasks and light-duty agricultural work. Its smaller size allows for nimble maneuverability in tight spaces, but it may lack the power for more intensive plowing or heavy hauling scenarios. Key considerations include the engine's maintenance requirements and potential vibration issues due to the smaller displacement.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland 1520 features a 9-speed gear and hydrostatic transmission, providing versatility and ease of operation across varied terrains. The hydrostatic system allows for smooth speed adjustments without clutching, enhancing maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system may require more maintenance and repairs than traditional gear systems, so consider operating conditions and workload requirements when choosing this model.

Description 9-speed gear/hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland 1520 tractor features a 9-speed forward and 3-speed reverse transmission, allowing for flexibility in various operating conditions. Its three-range gear system (low, medium, and high) enhances torque management and efficiency for tasks ranging from tilling to hauling. Key advantages include improved control for different soil types and load conditions, although the complexity of gear management may challenge new operators.

Type gear
Gears 9 forward and 3 reverse
Description Three gears and reverse with low, medium, and high range.

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland 1520 features a hydrostatic transmission with an infinite (3-range) capability, providing seamless power delivery and precise speed control, ideal for varying terrain and task demands. Its oil capacity of 23.25 quarts (22.0 liters) allows for extended operation between changes, but ensure adherence to maintenance schedules to prevent hydraulic system issues. Pros include greater maneuverability and ease of operation, while challenges may include potential higher replacement costs for hydrostatic components compared to gear-driven systems.

MECHANICAL

The New Holland 1520 tractor features a versatile 4x2 2WD or 4x4 MFWD configuration, providing enhanced traction in varying terrains but may experience reduced maneuverability in tight spaces compared to a 4WD system. Equip with power steering and wet disc brakes, it ensures effective control and stopping power, essential for demanding tasks. The 9-speed transmission, whether gear or hydrostatic, offers a balanced range of speed and torque, making it suitable for diverse applications such as light farming or landscaping operations.
