ENGINE DETAIL

The Satoh S470 tractor is powered by a robust Mitsubishi 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering 18.5 hp at 2600 RPM, making it ideal for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its 23:1 compression ratio delivers efficient fuel combustion, while the dry air cleaner design minimizes maintenance frequency but may be less efficient in dusty environments. With a compact oil capacity of 3.1 quarts and a coolant capacity of 5.3 quarts, regular servicing is essential to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating during extended use.

SATOH S470 ENGINE

The Satoh S470 is powered by a Mitsubishi 0.8L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance between fuel efficiency and adequate power for small-scale agricultural tasks. Its 4-gallon (15.1 L) fuel tank capacity supports extended operation before refueling, making it suitable for moderate field work without frequent stops. However, the compact size may limit performance in heavy-duty applications, so it's best for light to medium-duty tasks in smaller farms or gardens.

TRANSMISSION

The Satoh S470 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear setup, providing versatility in various agricultural applications. Its dry disc clutch ensures smoother engagement and disengagement, but may require more frequent maintenance compared to wet clutch systems. With an oil capacity of 12.7 quarts (12.0 L), proper lubrication is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity, particularly in demanding operating conditions.

MECHANICAL

The Satoh S470, featuring a 4x2 or optional 4x4 MFWD chassis, provides flexibility for varying terrain, ideal for agricultural tasks but may lack traction in extremely muddy conditions. Its manual steering and drum brakes offer simplicity and ease of maintenance, yet may limit response in tight maneuvering. The 6-speed transmission enhances power management, optimizing performance across different workloads but could require more driver skill to operate efficiently in varying conditions.

SATOH S470 TIRES

The Satoh S470 tractor offers versatility with its tire options, catering to both agricultural and turf applications, enhancing operational efficiency across different terrains. The 2WD and 4WD configurations provide flexibility, but 4WD may improve traction in challenging conditions, especially with the larger front tires. Consider the appropriate tire selection based on specific tasks; for example, ag tires for field work versus turf tires for landscaping to minimize soil compaction and protect delicate grass surfaces.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Satoh S470 tractor, weighing between 1157 to 1268 pounds, is a compact 2WD model ideally suited for light to medium-duty agricultural tasks. Its front tires (4.5-10) and rear tires (8-18) provide a balanced load distribution, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces. However, being 2WD can limit traction on uneven terrain, so operators should consider using it primarily on well-maintained surfaces or for lighter tasks to optimize performance.
