SHIBAURA SD4000 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Shibaura SD4000 features a robust LEP854A diesel engine with a displacement of 2.0L, providing a power output of 38.9 hp at a rated RPM of 2400, ideal for moderate agricultural tasks and utility work. Its 22:1 compression ratio contributes to fuel efficiency, although working at higher loads may require careful management of RPM to avoid overstraining the engine. The compact design and 12-volt starter make it versatile for small farms or landscapes, but limited horsepower may challenge performance with heavier implements or larger acreage.

TRANSMISSION
The Shibaura SD4000 features a gear shift system with 24 forward and 8 reverse gears, allowing for fine-tuned speed control across various terrains. Its dry disc clutch requires the tractor to be stopped for gear and range shifts, which may impact operational efficiency during frequent directional changes. The 37-quart oil capacity supports extensive operational use, yet the complexity of the transmission may pose a challenge for less experienced operators.

MECHANICAL
The Shibaura SD4000 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, offering straightforward maneuverability but limiting traction in challenging terrains. The mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction when needed, making it beneficial for tasks involving mud or slopes. With a 24-speed gear transmission, operators can finely adjust speed for various applications, though the open operator station may expose users to the elements, necessitating appropriate protective gear for extended use.

SHIBAURA SD4000 TIRES
The Shibaura SD4000 features a versatile tire configuration with 6.00-16 front tires for superior maneuverability in tight spaces and 12.4/11-28 rear tires to enhance traction on varied terrain. This setup optimizes stability and load distribution, making it suitable for both agricultural tasks and light utility work. However, the relatively narrow rear tire width may limit performance in very soft soils, necessitating caution in muddy or saturated conditions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Shibaura SD4000 features a wheelbase of 71.3 inches, providing stability during field operations, while its weight of 3,377 lbs contributes to traction and ground pressure management. The front tire size of 6.00-16 and rear tire size of 12.4/11-28 enhance maneuverability and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. However, its relatively compact design might limit performance in larger, high-power applications where a longer wheelbase would be beneficial.
