ENGINE DETAIL

The Satoh Beaver S370 features a Mitsubishi KE70 diesel engine with a compact 0.7 L displacement, generating 15 hp at a rated 2700 RPM, suitable for light agricultural tasks and utility work. Its high compression ratio of 20:1 enhances efficiency but may present starting challenges in colder climates, necessitating the use of glow plugs for reliable ignition. The tractor's oil and coolant capacities of 3.2 quarts and 4.4 quarts respectively facilitate adequate lubrication and temperature management, crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance during extended operation.

SATOH S370 ENGINE

The Satoh Beaver S370, powered by a Mitsubishi 0.7L 2-cylinder diesel engine, offers compact power ideal for small-scale farming and landscaping tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 3.3 gallons (12.5 L), it supports relatively extended operational periods but may require frequent refueling for larger tasks. This tractor's lightweight design provides maneuverability in tight spaces, though it may have limitations in heavy-duty applications due to its smaller engine displacement.

TRANSMISSION

The Satoh Beaver S370 features an unsynchronized gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, allowing for versatility in various terrain conditions. The 7.24-inch dry disc clutch can be a challenge during heavy operations, but it provides reliable engagement. With separate oil capacities for 2WD and 4WD configurations (9 qts and 10.4 qts respectively), it's essential to monitor fluid levels to ensure optimal performance and prolong the tractor's lifespan.

MECHANICAL

The Satoh Beaver S370 tractor offers a 4WD option, enhancing traction on varied terrains, crucial for agricultural tasks involving soil cultivation. The mechanical internal expanding shoe brakes provide reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance compared to modern hydraulic systems. Its 6-speed unsynchronized transmission may limit ease of operation during shifting, making it less suitable for novice operators or tasks requiring frequent gear changes.

SATOH S370 TIRES

The Satoh Beaver S370 tractor offers versatility with its two configurations: a 2WD option with standard ag tires (4.00-9 front, 8-16 rear) suitable for agricultural tasks, and a 4WD option with larger front tires (5-12) for enhanced traction in challenging terrains. The lawn/turf tire configurations (18x7.00-8 front, 9.5-16 rear) are ideal for maintaining grassy areas without damaging the turf, making it a suitable choice for landscaping and lawn care. The challenge with smaller 2WD tires is reduced flotation on soft ground, while 4WD enhances maneuverability and stability in uneven environments.
