TRANSMISSION
The Shibaura SE2540 tractor features a 12-speed forward and 4-speed reverse gear system, providing versatility for various field applications and maneuvers. The dry disc clutch offers a reliable engagement but may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic options. This setup is advantageous for tasks needing precise speed control but may present challenges in heavy load scenarios due to potential slippage under high torque conditions.

SHIBAURA SE2540 TIRES
The Shibaura SE2540 features a compact design with Ag front tires (6.00x16) and rear tires (11.2x24), optimizing maneuverability and traction in tight spaces typical for small farms or landscaping. This configuration offers a lower center of gravity and enhances stability, but may limit performance in heavier towing applications. Ideal for light-duty tasks like mowing, tilling, and small-scale farming, it provides an efficient solution for operators needing agility over brute force.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Shibaura SE2540 tractor, weighing 2326 lbs (1055 kg), benefits from its robust tire configuration, with a front tire size of 6.00x16 providing agility in tight spaces, while the rear 11.2x24 tires enhance traction on uneven terrain. This combination is particularly advantageous for smaller agricultural tasks, such as landscaping or tilling, but its relatively low weight may limit its performance in heavy-duty applications or on steep inclines. Additionally, operators should consider potential challenges with stability when using the tractor for lift tasks or towing heavy implements due to the overall weight distribution.
