ENGINE DETAIL
The Shibaura SE3040 tractor, powered by a LEM853 diesel engine, offers a robust 30hp at 2800 RPM, making it suitable for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a torque of 60.5 lb-ft at 1800 RPM, it excels in applications requiring strong pulling power, ideal for tillage and transport operations. However, the 21.1:1 compression ratio may necessitate quality diesel fuel, and its reliance on electric starting may pose challenges in remote areas with limited battery maintenance.

MECHANICAL
The Shibaura SE3040's 4x4 MFWD system offers enhanced traction and stability across diverse terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and light construction tasks. The mechanical shoe brakes provide reliable stopping power but may require more maintenance than hydraulic systems. Coupled with the 12-speed gear transmission, this tractor allows for versatile speed control, ideal for varying field conditions but may limit rapid maneuverability compared to continuously variable transmissions.
