ENGINE DETAIL

The Shibaura SD5040T features a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2.1L, delivering 50hp at a rated RPM of 2400, ideal for demanding agricultural tasks requiring robust power. Its high compression ratio of 22:1 enhances thermal efficiency, facilitating better fuel economy and torque performance during operation. However, the limited engine RPM may constrain peak performance for high-speed applications but is well-suited for consistent field work scenarios such as plowing and cultivation.

TRANSMISSION

The Shibaura SD5040T tractor features a robust 24 forward and 8 reverse gear configuration, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch requires the tractor to be stopped for gear and range shifts, which can be a limitation in time-sensitive operations but enhances gear selection precision. With an oil capacity of 37 quarts, routine maintenance is manageable, although vigilance is necessary to monitor fluid levels for optimal performance.

Gears 24 forward and 8 reverse
Clutch dry disc
Oil capacity 37qts / 35.0L
Description Three gears, plus reverse, in four ranges. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift gears and range. Additional creeper range doubles the number of available speeds.

SPEEDS

Description With 12.4/11-28 rear tires. Creeper speeds are 13% of standard speeds./

MECHANICAL

The Shibaura SD5040T features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction in challenging terrains, especially for agricultural tasks. Its 24-speed transmission allows for versatile speed control and adaptability for various applications, while the mechanical rear differential lock improves stability on uneven surfaces. However, the open operator station may lack weather protection compared to a fully enclosed cab, which could be a drawback in inclement conditions.
