TRANSMISSION
The Shibaura SE4000 tractor features a 12 forward and 4 reverse gear system, allowing for versatile speed control and maneuverability, which is advantageous for various agricultural tasks. This configuration can enhance efficiency in operations requiring frequent direction changes, such as plowing in tight areas. However, the complexity of the gearbox may lead to increased maintenance requirements over time, particularly if not properly managed.

MECHANICAL
The Shibaura SE4000's 4x2 2WD chassis provides excellent maneuverability for light agricultural tasks but may be less stable on uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. Its mechanical drum brakes offer reliable stopping power, although they may require more maintenance and offer less performance in muddy conditions than hydraulic disc systems. The 12-speed gear transmission enables versatile speed adaptation, making it suitable for various applications, but may not provide the rapid gear shifts that more modern systems offer.

SHIBAURA SE4000 TIRES
The Shibaura SE4000 features a 6.00x16 front tire and a 12.4x28 rear tire, providing a balanced low center of gravity and improved traction for diverse agricultural tasks. The tire size configuration allows for optimal maneuverability in tight spaces while maintaining stability on uneven terrain. However, operators may encounter challenges with ground compaction due to the narrower front tires, emphasizing the need for careful field management to preserve soil health.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Shibaura SE4000 tractor, weighing 3075 lbs (1394 kg), is ideally suited for light to moderate agricultural tasks, providing stability due to its weight distribution. The front tires (6.00x16) offer good maneuverability for tight spaces, while the larger rear tires (12.4x28) enhance traction and soil engagement, making it effective for field operations. However, the relatively low weight may limit its performance in heavy tillage scenarios and may require ballast for optimal traction under difficult soil conditions.
