TRANSMISSION
The Shibaura SE4040 tractor features a gear transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, providing a versatile range of speeds for various agricultural tasks. This transmission setup enhances maneuverability and allows for precise control over operations such as plowing and tilling. However, the complexity of a multi-gear system may require more maintenance and operator skill compared to tractors with simpler transmissions.

MECHANICAL
The Shibaura SE4040 features a 4x4 MFWD (Mechanical Front-Wheel Drive) chassis, offering enhanced traction and stability on varied terrains, ideal for agricultural applications. With mechanical drum brakes, maintenance could be more frequent compared to hydraulic systems, potentially affecting braking efficiency under heavy load. The 12-speed gear transmission allows for precise speed control, improving performance in tasks that require varying levels of power and torque.

SHIBAURA SE4040 TIRES
The Shibaura SE4040 tractor features an agile tire configuration with 8.00x18 front and 12.4x28 rear tires, enhancing stability and traction in various agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires provide better weight distribution and improved ground contact, making it suitable for moderate tilling and hauling operations. However, this tire size pairing may limit performance in extremely tight spaces or on steep inclines, where maneuverability could be challenged.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Shibaura SE4040 tractor's weight at 3,075 lbs (1,394 kg) provides a balanced foundation for tasks requiring stability in various terrains, especially in agricultural applications. Its front tire size (8.00x18) aids in maneuverability, while the larger rear tire size (12.4x28) enhances traction and weight distribution, making it suitable for plowing and hauling. However, the tire sizes may limit its ability to operate on very soft soils, potentially causing bogging down in specific wet conditions.
