ENGINE DETAIL

The New Holland T1520 is powered by a Shibaura N843L diesel engine, boasting a displacement of 1.7L and producing 35hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its Tier 4A emission compliance ensures environmental standards are met, while the two-stage air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating system enhance performance and reliability in varying operating conditions. A potential drawback is that the 12V starter system may require higher maintenance in colder climates, where glow plugs are crucial for temperature management.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland T1520's hydrostatic 9-speed unsynchronized transmission offers smooth operation and ease of use, making it ideal for tasks requiring variable speed control, such as tilling and mowing. However, the unsynchronized gear system may limit rapid shifting under load, potentially affecting performance in demanding conditions. This tractor is well-suited for small to medium farms or as a versatile utility vehicle in residential settings.

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland T1520 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and precise control for operators, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as mowing or landscaping. The infinite forward and reverse capability across three ranges enhances versatility and efficiency, allowing seamless transitions between tasks. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems can lead to increased maintenance costs compared to traditional gear transmissions.

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland T1520 features an unsynchronized gear system, which allows for simpler construction but may lead to challenges in gear shifting, particularly under load. With 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, it offers a versatile range for various applications, though inexperienced operators may find gear changes less smooth. Ideal for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, it excels in tight spaces but may not be suitable for high-speed transport due to the mechanical limitations of unsynchronized transmissions.

MECHANICAL

The New Holland T1520 features a robust four-wheel drive system, enhancing traction and stability in diverse terrain, making it suitable for varied agricultural tasks. The power steering facilitates easier maneuverability, while wet disc brakes provide superior stopping power and reduced maintenance compared to traditional systems. However, the two-post folding ROPS may limit operator protection in rollover scenarios, necessitating cautious operation on uneven land.

NEW HOLLAND T1520 TIRES

The New Holland T1520 tractor offers versatile tire options for agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial applications, facilitating adaptability across different terrains. The AG tires (7.4x14 front and 11.2x24 rear) provide excellent traction for fieldwork, while lawn/turf tires (24x8.50-14 front and 13.6x16 rear) minimize ground disturbance for residential tasks. However, the choice of tire type significantly impacts performance; for example, turf tires may struggle in muddy conditions compared to AG tires, so selecting the appropriate tire based on expected operations is crucial.
