SHIBAURA SP1840 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Shibaura SP1840 tractor features a 3-cylinder diesel engine with a compact 0.9L displacement, offering an effective power output of 18hp at 2600 RPM, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks and light-duty work. Its 23:1 compression ratio contributes to fuel efficiency and lower emissions, while peak torque of 36.9 lb-ft at 1800 RPM allows for robust performance in demanding conditions. However, the relatively low horsepower may limit its capability for heavier implements, making it best suited for smaller scale farming or landscaping operations.

TRANSMISSION
The Shibaura SP1840 tractor features a synchromesh transmission, which allows for smoother gear shifting and reduced wear on the gearbox, enhancing operational efficiency. With 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, it offers flexibility in various field applications, facilitating both speed and torque management for versatile farming tasks. The dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement and disengagement, but may require more maintenance attention compared to wet clutches in rugged conditions.

MECHANICAL
The Shibaura SP1840 features a 4x4 MFWD system, offering enhanced traction and stability on varying terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and light industrial applications. Its manual steering may require more effort during operation, especially at low speeds, while the drum brake system can provide reliable stopping power but may lack the responsiveness of modern hydraulic brakes. The open operator station enhances visibility and airflow but may expose the operator to harsh weather conditions; suitable for environments where comfort is secondary to functionality.

SHIBAURA SP1840 TIRES
The Shibaura SP1840 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires—Front: 5.00-12 and Rear: 8.3-20. This tire configuration provides stable traction and maneuverability on varied terrains, making it well-suited for small to medium-scale farming. However, users should note that the smaller front tire size may limit its performance on softer or uneven surfaces, potentially leading to bogging down in adverse conditions.
